Fifteen minutes later, we found the party venue and God! is this place filled to the brim, with music blasting left, right and center, loud enough to blow off the ceiling, so we decided to talk outside...
Okay, I began, before we get in, a quick one, ...our goal at this party tonight is to find Adrien and also Kai
Hate to interrupt Amari, Liana said tapping me lightly, but I don't know what Kai looks like
He looks pretty much like Keanu, Sebastian replied
even if he and Keanu were identical twins, which they aren't, I've only seen him once, and in a video, you don't expect me to have a perfect image of what he looks like in my head, she retorted
I'll send you a pic of him, Piper concluded.
I also sent the pic Adrien posted on his Instagram to the group, so we can easily identify him, I added..as I was saying, our goal is to find both Adrien and Kai, but our main focus is Adrien, we need to make sure he's safe, once anyone finds him, please do everything to make sure he gets out of here and notify us on the group
I think it's better we split up, while some of us focus on Adrien and some on Kai, Piper suggested
Alright then, I replied, Liana and I will keep our eyes on Kai, while you and Sebastian watch out for Adrien...they all nod affirmatively
What if me or Piper bump into Kai instead, Sebastian asked
Just make sure to notify us so we know who we're looking for, Liana replied
Good luck guys, Piper said and with that, we went different ways...
I headed east, and so far I've bumped into four different people now... four 'drunk' people, this place really is crowded up, it would be difficult to find anyone in here and I'm sure the others are facing a similar problem, huh... maybe I can ask around..
Hi, having a good night?, I asked a guy sitting on the edge of a staircase
What's that? he asked, unable to hear me due to how loud the music is
I asked if you're having a good night, I yelled
Yeah, yeah, he replied...do you want something?, he asked noticing I stood still, a little lost for words
yeah..um,I wanted to ask, have you seen a guy about this tall, I said gesturing with my hands,..Asian, looks like a high schooler?
Yeah, I probably have, he replied, a lot of people have gone up this stairs tonight
Oh, so you think he might be up there, I asked pointing at the stairs
Oh yeah, anyone here can be anywhere, he replied with a weird smile
fifth drunk person, I've bumped into..
He's right though, Kai could be anywhere...I need to think, if I was a serial killer on the hunt for my last target, then I'd be tracking him right, so the real question is where would Adrien be right now..he probably came here out of boredom from staying still all day which means he'll be at the heart of the party, genius!
Hey, I said facing the stair guy, could you please point the direction of the wildest part of the party?
Liana walked towards what looked like a bar area, looking left and right for any signs of Kai, finding nothing, she decided to sit a while to think... maybe she could track his phone?, that would be hard to do in this crowd, plus he would at least be smart enough to switch it off before coming here, standing to continue her search, she bumped into someone...
Sorry, the guy she bumped into apologized, you go to Cedar Creek High? he asked
How did he know, Liana wondered to herself,..oh of course she's still on her uniform, they never really had time to change..
why'd you ask, she replied
My best friend went there, he said, he always tells me stories about his life in highschool
Wait, Liana exclaimed, is your name Zack by any chance?
Yeah, how'd you know that? he asked suprised
Is your friend here, she replied ecstatically, I need to see him now, take me to him
Is there a problem, he asked
just show me where he is, I'll explain as we walk, she replied.
Arriving at the main area with even more crowd, my phone beeps, I glance through my notifications...Liana found him, she's found Adrien..good job Lia, I quickly type, Sebastian, Piper, switch to finding Kai, he's our target now... placing my phone in my pocket, I continue my search.. there are still no signs of him, what if he's not here, at least we've found Adrien, we should leave Kai to the police, this actually is their job...I pull out my phone to send a message on the group, when someone taps me from behind..
Yeah?, I said turning to an unfamiliar face,
some guy said I should give this to you, he said handing me a folded piece of paper, I unfolded it and read through; 'Looking for me?' was the only thing written on it...Kai! I exclaimed
Where did he go?, the guy who gave you this, I asked the unfamiliar guy, he pointed towards a direction which I followed only after alerting the others
It led to what looked like a storage room, on getting there, I met no one, is this a prank or something?... suddenly, I felt someone walk in behind me
I immediately turned only to see him, Kai!, I called out, he stood still,wearing a black hoodie and black pants, eyes staring at me
You know, I'm not surprised to see you here, he said
Same here, I replied...we both continue to stare in silence..
Give it up Kai, I finally spoke, whatever it is you're here for, it's not happening
really?, he replied with a smirk, and what am I here for Amari, he asked
I'm not doing this with you Kai, I replied, I suggest you turn back, I think you've done enough already
he frowned on hearing my words
My phone beeped again, this time it was a voice message from Liana....You guys,she said, we can't find Adrien, and by we, I mean Zack and I, I bumped into Zack minutes ago and while we walked to where Adrien was sitting, I sent that message, but we didn't see him when we got there, so we decided to look around, Zack dialled him and everything, but we still can't find him, we need to keep looking, Zack's helping too..
I glanced at Kai, who stood still staring at me with a look I couldn't read
Where is he? I asked him sternly
He smiled a little, you didn't answer my question Amari, what do you think I'm here for? he asked
We know it's you!, all the killing happening in school, we know you're here to finish what you started!, I replied angry, angry that he was wasting my time with his questions,.. where is he?, I asked again
And do you have any idea why all that happened?, he said ignoring my question
Because they made your brother kill himself, I replied confidently
You guys managed to find that out.. Impressive, he commented
Look, I know squad six hurt you Kai, I replied in a sad tone, but this isn't the best way to end this
Hurt me?! he suddenly said, anger flashing through his eyes,.. they did more than that trust me
if I'm not getting Adrien's whereabouts from him, I'll have to buy the others some time to do so....
And what exactly did they do Kai?, I asked
You wanna know,.. I'll tell you, he replied as we sat opposite each other..
