Chapter Ten: Back-up

January 22nd, 2015

I wake up, go to school, all of that crap. We weren't here for that, we needed to start as soon as possible. As soon as I got out of school I called up Trevor and told him to come over, it was time to get busy.

Me: "Yeah, we're starting this today. Think you can make it?

Trevor: "Yeah, I'll be there soon, hold on. Let me get ready for this whole thing. It might take super long for us to find him."

I nodded and got into my detective clothing, I would put my gun in one of my pockets, I haven't had to use it yet. Something tells me when we meet his father, we're going to have to be very careful.

Something I didn't expect though, was Megan coming over today. As soon as I put my hat on to finish the outfit, I had to take it off along with the trench coat. What was I going to do about my bruises? I shrugged it off, I'd just tell her it was from Tye. I opened the door and just as I had expected, she saw my bruises.

Megan: "Colson, what happened to you? Where did all of this come from?"

Me: "Oh, this? This is just from Tye and his lackeys-"

She told me to stop speaking before she started inspecting them. She backs away and shakes her head.

Megan: "Looks like you've been out again, haven't you? Your wounds have only worsened Colson."

I sighed.

Me: "Listen, I just had to okay-"

Megan: "No no, it's fine, I'm just angry that you didn't tell me you were going."

I took a deep breath before I had finished processing what she had said, what? Was she going to help out now?

Megan: "Since you're so foolish, I suppose I have no choice. Let's go."

She brushed past me, I looked at Megan one last time before I decided to follow her.

Me: "Listen, Trevor should be on his way shortly. After he gets here, that's when we start."

She just sat down and gave me a cold stare for a few seconds before shaking her head. I could see why she was furious with me, but we really needed to finish this up soon. We don’t know what exactly could have happened to Maxine at this point. I sigh before calmly placing my hand on her shoulder, Megan surprisingly didn’t move and just stayed silent. I decided to keep my cool and tried to convince her to help me.

Me: I know you’re furious with me, but we really need to find her. I need your help, Megan. We don’t know what could have happened to her by now, What if she’s-”

She told me to be quiet and nodded, I hope she understood what I meant, but suddenly she got up and started walking towards the kitchen, she stopped at the counter and took a heavy breath before her eyes shifted towards me.

Megan: “Alright, when is he coming? It’’ll be soon, right?”

I then nodded, he was going to be here in about fifteen minutes. After that, we can start this whole thing, we were going to pay a visit to his father. He was going to pay, big time. We nodded towards each other before deciding to take our handguns with us. Something told me we were...
