Fredrick was standing a little more away from the window that was facing the streets. Did he really think that he wouldn't be on our suspect list for Beth's running away for real ? We walked towards the front door , which was surprisingly made up of a simple hand worked wood . I knocked on the door since I couldn't find the door bell .
The door was opened almost too soon . It was a woman who opened the door . She looked exhausted yet surprised to see guests . She obviously didn't expect us . "Hello? How can I help you guys ?"
She was surprisingly kind to us . Because we had come to the conclusion that she too would be having the same irritating behaviour that Fredrick had but no , we were wrong . She was the exact opposite . I decided that it was best to head straight for why we were there instead of beating around the bush . In fact , she seemed like she already knew Fredrick so I was almost sure that she knew at least a number of things that Fredrick did , against her celebrity life . Seriously , how did the paparazzi never find out about this ?
"Hi . We're here to see Fredrick ? Is he here ?"
She was taken aback for a second . Then she replied , "No . Why would such an influential person be in MY house ? I think that you got the wrong address . He's actually two more blocks down the right . "
She was about to close her door but I interrupted her in time . "Ma'am , what's your name ? You don't seem like the cold type of person . I would like to chat with you sometimes ."
She hesitated for a while . Maybe I was wrong about her ? What if she was threatened by Fredrick to keep him hidden or something , and to not spill any kinds of personal information to strangers ?
"My name's Jessie . We should talk sometime , ...."
"Rene ." I completed her sentence for her . We pretended to walk down the right towards Fredrick's house . After I heard the door slam shut , as well as her heard her footsteps moving away from the door , we turned back to her house . We were almost reaching the window when the front door opened swiftly . What was going on ?
Thankfully , they didn't see us because we were feckly close to the wall and in time turned to the other side of the house . Fredrick was practically running to the opposite direction of his house , or so I thought . When Jessie closed her door and left again , we decided to follow Fredrick and see what he was up to .
Apparently , he wasn't running away from his house , but was using another way around Jessie's house to reach his house through the back . Maybe he wanted to look like he was already home when we arrived . It was too bad that we had already seen him during his act . We were curious to what he had to hide from us , what he had kept in between him and Jessie . Was she his girlfriend , or someone who helps him with whatever he does secretly ?
Fredrick had agreed to help me and see to Nate's permission in me joining their team . This fact though , only I and Fredrick knew . Nobody else knew about this because I couldn't tell them with Beth roaming around the house . After Beth went missing , we only had time to kill , rather than plan , and it was a pretty good break for our minds . Since I had found out about this world , everything seems dangerous . If we were discovered by humans , we might become rivals . Being isolated is the least thing we want in life .
It was best that Nath and I go along with Fredrick and see what he had to tell us . Some security guards opened the huge front doors for us this time . It was much more calming and relaxing to see the cleaned version of his house , spotlessly clean. He was filthy rich .
We made sure to greet the security guards politely and went inside . Fredrick wanted to make it obvious that he knew what we wanted because there were two body guards showing up the second the security guards disappeared from sight . "Hi? We would like t-" One of them asked me to shut my mouth up sternly . "We'll take you to where you want to be taken . Please remain silent while we take a walk to your destination . The place was huge . It looked even bigger because it was only now that we had gotten time to appreciate it's beauty .
Nath and I were mesmerised by all the fancy things that made me want to move out and stay here .
Finally , after almost 25 minutes of jogging to keep up with both the securities in human speed . The doors were almost as huge as the front door and I couldn't help but enjoy all the luxury tat surrounded me . It smelled like vanilla everywhere and I loved that part the most .
The moment for enjoying was gone . Fredrick was sitting on a special chair , specially set up for him , as if he was the king of New Jersey . He didn't look grand at all , only self - absorbed .
"Welcome back to my home , my friends ." I had to keep myself from laughing mainly because there was still a slight hint of panting in his voice .
"Did I say something funny , Rene?" He asked me , trying to keep calm . I had definitely triggered him to be angry . "There was nothing funny Fredrick . I don't need any reason to smile , or be angry . Like I said , people need to have full freedom to what they want to do . "
Fredrick seemed to remember what I said when he was leaving from our house the last time . He still didn't acknowledge that he understood but ignored what I said .
"So , why did you both come to my house without letting me know earlier ?"
