Chapter Five: Joanna

We were still driving towards the destination the man had told us to come to. Luckily for the both of us, I had a pretty good memory. I looked towards Megan, I already knew what she was going to say.

Me: "45940 Xavier Street is our exact location if you were wondering."

She gave me a look that showed that she was speechless and amazed.

Megan: "You totally knew what I was going to say? Wild, guess you learned from me."

Me: "Sure, I'll say that."

She chuckled as a response to my statement.

Megan: "Alright, hold on tight, we're going to go a little faster!"

She wasn't kidding either, we were going pretty fast down the road now. Well, at least she didn't drive like a maniac.

Me: "Let's see if this man is actually trustworthy or not."

Megan: "Yeah, if not, I'll be popping a cap in his temple."

Me: "You know, that sounds a lot less intimidating if you say it like that."

Megan: "As long as you get what I meant by that, I couldn't really care less."

I simply nodded as we sped off towards 45940 Xavier Street. We were about ten minutes away from it now.

Megan: "Best get yourself ready in case you need to kill someone."

Me: "Yeah, I get it."

I gulped, hopefully no killing would be done. We could only hope for the best now, neither of us wanted to use these guns.

Fast forward another ten minutes of nothing and we were at our destination. We both got out of the car and made sure our guns were out of sight. Luckily the pockets were quite huge on these trench coats.

Megan: "Where is he? He said meet him here."

Me: "Get ready, I have a bad feeling about this."

We started to look around the entire area, both of us heard nothing for a split second before we heard footsteps approaching. After those footsteps we were on alert.

Megan: "Who's there? We can hear you!"

Me: "It might be him, but if not, then.."

We both swiftly pulled out our handguns, ready to shoot if necessary. There was no need though, since it was just the man from the website. He came out with his hands up in the air.

Man: "Hey, put the guns away, there's no need."

Megan: "How exactly do we know that?"

Man: "You'd be dead by now if this was a trick, calm down."

I put my gun down first, and then Megan put hers down as well. We both kept looking around us to make sure no one was here.

Man: "Alright, stay calm kids. I'll even give you my name, Trevor. Does that convince you?"

We look at each other and sigh, we place our guns in our pockets as Trevor placed his hands down. He looked in his early thirties. He had a skinny figure, greasy, pulled back hair, brown eyes and skin the color of sand.

Trevor: "There you go, now we can get to business."

Me: "First off, do we need to pay you anything?"

Trevor: "Aw come on, you're kids, consider this my kind deed to help you out like this."

Megan: "Why us? Why are you deciding to help us when there are other real detectives out there?"

Trevor: "Listen, I've worked with tons of detectives."

Me: "How are we supposed to believe that?"

Trevor: "Now is not the time for this, you want to find your friend don't you?"

Me: "Yeah, you're right. So what's the address?"

Trevor: "Follow me to my house, I'll show you how I do it to make this go by faster for you two. You're on a time limit here."

Me & Megan: "Time limit?"

Trevor: "Of course, police, fellow detectives. Stuff like that."

Megan: "I suppose that makes sense."

Trevor: "Exactly, now get in your red station wagon and let's go."

Me and Megan both get into the red car as Trevor gets into his brown SUV, we drive off towards his house.

Megan: "What if there are men at his house? We won't know what's in there until we get inside."

Me:...
