Chapter 9


I woke up and looked around the room. I was on a couch, this was Justin’s house. I looked over and saw Justin sleeping on the other sofa. He looked pretty bad. I bet he had a pretty rough night after what happened to his mom. I’m still in complete shock about everything that none of it has sunken in yet. Maybe I could do something to cheer Justin up a little. I know! I’ll make him breakfast! I got up and walked over to the kitchen. I opened the fridge and found some eggs, cheese, bacon, onion, butter, and jelly and I found some bread on the counter. I searched through cabinets until I found a decent sized skillet. I turned the stove on and placed the skillet on the burner. I cut a pat of butter and put it in the skillet before I cracked a couple eggs and added some cheese. I chopped up some onion and added that as well. I opened the package of bacon and put a few slices in the skillet next to the omelet and let them sizzle for a minute. I took a couple slices of bread and put them in the toaster. Once they were done, I put strawberry jelly on them. I went over to the fridge to put the unused food away. As I closed the fridge door, I noticed a bill on the counter, from “John’s Plumbing.” I picked it up and scanned it over. “Aha!” I shouted, waking Justin. “I found it!”

Justin walked over and saw what I was looking at. “Is that…” “Yeah.” I responded. “It’s his number.” Justin and I looked at each other in silence for about 30 seconds. “Hey, I made you some breakfast, how about we eat and decide what we’re doing today?” “Sounds good.” Justin and I sat at the table and ate our breakfast.

I picked up my cell phone and dialed the number, not knowing what to expect. “Hello?” I heard from the other end of the line.” I was so nervous. What should I say? Um… “Hellooo?” I heard again. “Hi, I’m looking for a Mr. Joe Albert?” My heart was pounding and I was developing a head ache. “Who is this?” I heard in an irritated yet venerable tone. I panicked, what do I say? I can’t tell him who I am. “I need to speak with Mr. Albert right away. Is he there?” “I’m Mr. Albert. Who is this?” He said in an even angrier way. Uh, how do I get out of telling him my name? “I think we should meet in person. Meet me at the entrance to the Plaza Hotel at 8 tonight.” Hey, that was pretty good. He’ll probably stop asking who I am. “……I’ll be there, make it quick.” And with that we both hung up.

I looked up at Justin and saw that he was staring at me as if to say, “Well?” “Okay, so I talked to HIM and I set up a meeting with him tonight at the Plaza Hotel. This will be a great opportunity for us to follow him, and that’ll probably lead us to your mom.”

I remember you AmyToria! It's cool that you're still here! I recognize that name Buttercup_Angel
