The Perfect Posse

Chapter 46: Saving a friend.

Blake's POV.

The entire gala fell silent after Derek made his dramatic exit. People confirmed that this was going to be the biggest scandal of Maplebirch with the hushed tones they were speaking in. The two distressed parents hd to hold each other so none of them fell down because they certainly could not rely on their spawn anymore.

"I have to go save Jordan," I whispered.

"I can't just let you leave," Valerie sternly spoke. "Derek- Derek has a knife and he is dangerous right now. You cannot take the risk, Blake."

"My job is based on taking a risk!" I snapped. "You know what risk I cannot take? Staying here and probably losing Jordan and I am not willing to take that one."

Valerie went silent at my sudden outburst. She just looked at me, waiting for an explanation. I let out a sigh and said, "It's just that when Jordan and I were coming to Picasso, he told me he would be my friend and it may sound very childish, but I never had one except for Kelly and it meant a lot to me."

I ws expecting another argument in return, but Val wrapped her arms around me and placed a small peck on my lips.

"Go save Jordan," she smiled and handed me the car keys.

"I'll go with Valerie," Lenny said.

"No, you're going with me," I corrected him and the two of us made our way to the car.

"How will we find them? We wasted a lot of time in the hall," Lenny asked.

"I put on a tracking app in all of your phones. We can just follow him through the car's GPS."

"When did you do that and why do I know nothing about it?" Lenny freaked out.

"I did it a few days ago and it was consensual," I shrugged it off as if it was nothing.

After getting into the driver's seat, I turned the GPS on and entered Jordan's username. After that, it took us only a few minutes and soon we were connected with Jordan's live location. My eyes kept on switching from the road to the little screen and back to the road. The silence in the vehicle made Lenny anxious, I could sense his discomfort from my seat, but I refrained myself from speaking anything. 

"How did Derek find out about the plan?" I questioned.

"I don't know, why are you asking me?" he asked me.

"Because you were the only one who conversed with him alone and after your little chat, everything went downhill," I stated like it was obvious.

"Are you accusing me of telling him the truth?" He rose an eyebrow.

"You've done it before, I don't see why you won't do it again," I shrugged.

"Just drive," he insisted.

My lips tugged upwards at his last statement. He gave me everything I needed and he was not even aware about it.

After keeping a safe distance and tailing Derek's car, we finally stopped. The surroundings were awfully familiar and I figured it out within a second where we were.

The McAllister's.

Kelly was supposed to be inside, gathering information or evidence.

"Did he just circle around his house twice?" Lenny said.

"I think he was just being precautious," I said, again in a very monotonous manner.

I opened my door but ordered Lenny stay inside until I give him a green signal and he did exactly what I asked him to.
