All Chapters of The Untitled Love Story : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

"Let me get this straight. You want me to hack into a phone that was covered in blood until thirty seconds ago, get a number out of it, and track the caller ID to a physical location?" Bryan asked, swirling in his computer chair.Melissa had yet to call with an apology for her statements during our little argument yesterday, and there was no way I was acting the bigger person in this picture. Which is why Kaila and I were now in Bryan's chaotic apartment, asking him for an illegal favour I hope he wouldn't mind doing."Sure." He shrugged, swiping the paper bag out of my hand as he finished putting on the gloves I insisted he wear. We couldn't afford any of our fingerprints being left on it, which is why I was in gloves as well."Just like that?" I asked with a frown."Charlie's still missing, and you being here means the legal system isn't exactly working for you." He replied as he took out the phone and connected it to his computer."Good thing Charlie had a geeky college roommate,

The next day, I stopped by the office after dropping Kaila off at Bryan's place. Bryan had been so eager to start planning the trip even though we hadn't decided on a date yet.There wasn't actually anything urgent to do at the office, but the weekend was over and I had to go to work, even though I was still pissed at Melissa. We still hadn't spoken to each other and I didn't really have any problems with that. I would sit in the office for a couple of hours. If she showed up, I would give her the phone. If she didn't show up, I'd leave it on her table and head on out to Bryan's place.As fate would have it, I bumped into Jason on the stairs. He seemed to be on his way somewhere when I first saw him, but did a 180° and followed me back upstairs."Hi Eiran, your face has been scarce recently." He greeted with his usual creepy grin."Yeah, I lost a loved one...not Charlie though, so don't get any ideas." I replied, flashing him a warning glare."Oh, sorry for your loss. You know you co

I kept my findings from Kaila and Bryan, pending the time I confirmed what was truth and what wasn't.There was no point confusing them the same way I was confused. I only told them how Melissa what Melissa had told me when I asked about the phone."Of all the dumb excuses in the world, blood got on the circuits?" Bryan hissed.Kaila said nothing, just sitting in her chair, tapping her feet against the floor."So, what are you going to do?" Bryan asked, walking towards the kitchen."I'll let her believe she's still having her way while I try finding an opportunity for our trip." I shrugged."Can't you just call in sick?" Kaila inquired."Melissa would most likely turn up in front of the house with brown soup every day until I am supposedly better." I turned down the idea."Emergency save-the-planet trip?" Bryan yelled from the kitchen."Are you even trying?" I yelled back."But, he might be onto something." Kaila noted, the tapping of her feet coming to an end."He is?" I asked with r

"Are you sure you are okay going home alone?" Jason asked as I was about to leave the bar."Yeah, I'll be fine." I nodded, waved him off.I took a cab straight to Bryan's place rather than the station. Not that there was anything to be done at the station."You are back early." Kaila chuckled as she opened the door, her smile falling when her eyes met mine."I'll explain inside." I stated before she could ask.The living room air was filled with the scent of toast and syrup, Bryan must have done something right again in the kitchen. No doubt thanks to Kaila's company."Kaila, who is it?" Bryan yelled from the kitchen."It's Eiran, hurry up and join us in the living room." Kaila yelled back.I collapsed on the largest couch, kicking my boots off recklessly. The conversation between Jason and Melissa played over in my head. Was Melissa ever even my friend?"What's up?" Bryan popped into the living room, wiping his palms with a hand towel."Melissa is going to help me get the approval fo

Kaila and I were out of the house before Brandon and Eliza could wake up. Leaving would have been quite tedious if we had let them know the time we were leaving. Since there were only three rooms in the house, Kaila slept in Eliza's room while I slept in Brandon's. I had spent the first part of my night answering questions about work, myths, and friends. Only retiring to bed when Danielle came to check on us. Kaila and I were now on our way to meet up with Bryan at the airport. I went through the contents of my small bag to make sure my filled water bottles, some clothes, gun, taser, and dagger were still in there. Kaila's bag held her clothes, pepper sprays, tasers, metal batons, and some snacks in case we got hungry. "Are you sure we shouldn't find another way to get these over there?" Kaila whispered. "We would be no good to Charlie if we got arrested as suspected terrorists." "Bryan said he knew a way we could get there, with our things. Let's just have a little faith in me."
