"Jasper you know I can't believe you are just sitting down there comfortably staring at me."
Ria fumed at her friend. She was expecting something like panic or an attempt from Jasper and since none is coming she was angry at his nonchalant attitude.
But the latter her remark and continue with his phone surfing.
Now she is pissed. When did Jasper change? He is acting weird and questionable each passing day and she despises that.
"You know you should use that earlier metallic dissolver and get me free from these crazy handcuffs."
Exactly what she was expecting from her friend but unfortunately, her friend already discard the metallic dissolver.
She can't believe McCall choose to silence her by temporarily handicapping her. He must be an ass. Such a milk-sop character. She chortled bashfully.
That's so ludicrous of him.
And the annoying aspect is Jasper's lackadaisical attitude is making things worst. He's always like that. Nothing ever fazed him. Such a kiddo.
"Sorry to disappoint you Riana, I already get rid of that." He differed from her word.
Of course, aren't any way Ria is expecting him to hold onto the metallic dissolver, What if there was a caught up and they both got charged with obstructionism and vandalism? That's a criminal offense punishable by law.
Also discarding it implies, even if they were caught, there is a possibility of denying haven't tampered with the vehicle lock. At least they need to stand their ground of telling an untruth on how they meet the truck door opened and sneaked in.
Clever right?
Ria heaves a sigh. Of course, Jasper is smart.
Tired and perplexed, she can't see herself quelling the gradual talks of how she will deal with McCall. She was so carried away with her grumbling that she didn't realize she was saying it loudly to Jasper's hearing.
"Oh good Heaven; I love when I'm at my cool and some crackhead chose to mess with me just to prove a point that ain't even proving." She nibbles her lips.
How wish McCall is there to have a taste of her grumbling.
"What are you going to do? whack him? It was when Jasper spokes that Ria realized she must have said whatever she was planning loud.
"How about getting his ass locked up? She throws him a questioning brow.
Now she is getting braver. Locking an Inspector of the IIF up because he stopped you from doing something crazy and distracting their work.
Only a civilian can do that. Yes, Riana McCarthy.
Hope she got much evidence and her good attorneys to win the lawsuit.
Goodluck then.
"And you will be charged with vandalism and obstructionism. Ponder twice we aren't supposed to be here at foremost.
Exactly the statement she was expecting from Jasper. He recently gave off this reluctant hero vibe. He has always had this pessimistic view of life. Ever since she informed him about her plans of stalking the IIF cars and being able to get to Northern Community quickly.
He always lamented about how dangerous the plans are. His pessimistic instinct bored the life out of her.
Well since Jasper is pessimistic, then it's okay to call Ria the optimistic kind; for someone that doesn't care about the dangers involved in trailing after IIF who are after a kidnapping case.
Sure, Riana's emotions already messed up her thinking. She can't think straight again. That one. And it's very bad, she just lost her friend, her gist mate and nothing has been said about it.
No one knows if she is dead or alive, everything they are doing now is based on assumption and the possibility of her being kidnapped.
But by who?
She detests all this! She hates that life is dealing with her friend like this.
They deserved better.
But one thing about life, they come with their surprises. Just when you thought you have the handles to live unfortunately someone else took the handles away.
She grunted, yanking her hand in an attempt to wriggle out of the locked chain but why waste energy on something that won't happen?
"Ria you're going to hurt your wrist" Jasper screamed when he saw how Ria was trying to wriggle her hand free from the handcuffed.
She already struggled her life for freedom, booting the car door all these while, trying to free herself. She really does have tons of energy to combat a futile battle.
Now she looks like a mess, her hair is disheveled, heat creeping from her face and soaking her neck.
She run her fingers across her hair, tucking the strands of hair that already shrouded her face at the back of her ear. She is furious and ready to strike.
She hates McCall and his stupid action. She hate that he turned her like this, making her useless and she vowed to make him pay for it.
Ignoring Jasper's sudden outburst about her futile battle, she leaned backward, resting her hand on the passenger's headrest. She is already stressed by the whole situation.
*********************
Odd behavior.
McCall glares at little Savan, he makes sure he was comfortably seated with him in Hazel's car. Even though he looks frightened and occasionally flinched back each time he attempted to talk to him. But that won't stop him from getting the little information he can be able to scoop from the little lad.
He already decided to do the talking and Hazel will do the jotting down of some vital information that Savan will be able to disclose but as it stands now, Savan is toiling with his patient.
Because what did he mean that Mellisa vanished into the wood on that path and is already in the other kingdom awaiting trial?
Trials for what? What were her crimes?
They already took him to the already said route and he still insist that Mellisa disappeared from there. He even went ahead to point out the exact place she disappeared from. Now this boy is turning this whole issue to look like voodoo was involved.
Disappearing how? In this modern century? Somebody disappearing on a route. Is something like this still occurring in this 21st century where civilization has already taken place?
Hazel was confused as usual but McCall remain unfazed. He acts like he doesn't hear what Savan was blabbing about.
There was a sudden change in the climate as the rumbling sound of thundering and lightning bolts was combatting for preeminence. They keep crashing and reverberating like they were fighting for power.
A sudden eclipse already taking place in the sky.
The atmosphere was luminous and cloudless when they came and according to today's weather forecast, there should be no downpour of any kind.
It looks suspicious as the sky suddenly turns dark and it started to rain, a heavy rainfall that blocks the end of the road and gives a misty notice that one won't be able to see through at a far distance.
Thank goodness Hazel's hatchback was able to keep them dry and warm.
He stared intensely at Savan and the boy buried his face in his two tiny laps. From his acts, you can tell he is still scared of McCall and he is not going to stop.
McCall smirked mischievously at him. He has got enough evidence to carry out his investigation but his going to do it his way.
The rain has already halted all their activities, and also the IIF troops have already gotten enough evidence because since Mellisa's case was reported, the IIF has been snooping around the Northern Community to gather enough information.
But Savan's statement is complicated but that won't be an issue, he knows how to deal with people of such kind. He will undoubtedly handle it.
They need to pull out today, it's almost late in the dusk and they have a long trip ahead.
And now he thought about it, he remembered Ria and Jasper and his brows pulled up in a scowl. He wondered how he happened to stand that sniveling little brat.
He can't stand her snippy attitude. He hisses a snarky remark.
Well; he did what he felt was the best thing to do by handcuffing her and locking her and her buddy up. He knows he must be infuriated by now and he is satisfied.
He already choose to ignore her whinging once he entered his car because he knows there must be one waiting for him.
Now he wondered if the parents knows her way about.
Well, lasses like her love doing things their way reasons because they are from the social class of the community. They are the kids the society called 'The first class family' why not; they are socialites. Gracing some magazine covers and sometimes attending events organized by the Country dignitaries. They can be called the Country's top coffers due to their classic and cosmopolitan ways of living.
Well; all these shouldn't imply parents shouldn't teach their kids, schooling kid's morals tell more about how they see and take the societies as a whole.
Some rich households allow money to take over their parenting skills, thereby producing snobs in societies, while some rich families never allow money to take over their parenting skills because they believe the hate you give infants fuck everybody up. That's Thug Life.
Love is natural but hate is taught.
He draws a lengthy lingering hiss when he recalled the phrase "I hate you" Well not that he is anticipating love from anyone, not even from someone like Ria. He is already living well, encountering challenges, and overcoming them.
So Ria should cease with the hate sermon he ain't even interested.
He already told Hazel to drop Savan at the house where he was told he dwelled. Many children were staying there also and from much questioning, he was able to understand that's the community Orphanage home. He shook his head, as feelings of concern and compassion were seen on his face.
Well, they came prepared, he instructed the IIF to distribute the goodies they bought along to the 'Cuties and Angels Home'.
Hope they live to their name of being Angels and taking proper care of these kids, if not he will sue the community rulers for the child's negligence. Yes, the Childcare and fare alliance won't take issues about children lightly.
It's a punishable crime to abandon the leaders of tomorrow and not fund and take care of their well-being. For now, he managed to get the inventory of the home nursemaids, everything about them he wishes to know especially the person in charge of Savan. He promised to come back to check on them especially Savan because of his odd character.
"Look after them and keep your eyes on Savan." He instructs the kid's caretakers. He further gave his number to the CAAH In case there was a sudden change in Savan's odd behavior.
He urges Hazel to drive him to where he packed his car. Enough of today's investigation.
The rain had stopped and the dusk sun faintly shone.
When he unlocked his car, he smirked mischievously at the state of Ria and Jasper. They already taking a nap.
The cold temperature after the rain coupled with the refreshing air-conditioned car must have weakened their system and put them to sleep.
"Kiddo." He scoffed at Ria's messy state. Jasper leans his head backward resting it on the rear window from on the left side of the car. And Ria resting hers on the passenger headrest. Even though her facade is calm, McCall knows she looks troubled either way.
Who knows how much cussing she has given him? He scoffed. He doesn't care.
Calmly, he slackens the passenger's seat and gently pushes it back for Ria to relax in her cranium. He was so careful that he didn't want to wake her.
Ria stirred in his sleep but didn't wake. McCall watched her still facade for a while, and shook his head; his right hand on the ignition and the left gripping the wheel tightly.
"I really hate her." He grumbled.
The next thing, the car accelerates uniformly and hit the road, driving to the comfort of the two youngsters sleeping in his car.
