Chapter 76 - 76. Trouble.

Lenora picked up her ringing phone, annoyed at whomever decided to disturb her right at this moment. When she saw the caller she felt the intense urge to just swipe left. But her curiosity got the better of her and she answered.

"Lenora Hastings." She answered.

"Hi, this is...-"

"I know who you are, what do you want?" She asked.

"Okay, tone down the bitchiness. I'm not going to eat you up."

"Are you going somewhere with this?" Lenora asked with an eye roll.

"Yeah, I am. Like I would call you otherwise, have you found anything important to the Jessie Marin case?"

"And why should I tell you if I have? You're not my boss nor do I owe you any information." She said.

Krystal sighed through the speaker, gosh this woman was too bitter! It took all her patience to remain calm, she needed information.

"Well I was hoping we could exchange info, it seems only logical that way, don't you think?" Krystal offered. She didn't have anything concrete or useful, but she needed something to get close to Lenora. And she couldn't even feel bad for lying to the woman, she deserved it.

Lenora thought about her offer, she could have peices of the puzzle that she didn't have at the moment. "Fine, I'll text you my address."

Krystal smiled pumping her fist in the air. "Alright then, it's good that you at least know when you need help."

"Hey!" Lenora yelled but before she could say more Krystal ended the call.

"Where the hell is she?!" Jason yelled as he paced to and fro in his apartment.

Katherine continued to call her phone but she couldn't get through while Paul took it on him self to make tea to calm him down.

"Calm down Jason, have tea she's probably running late or stuck in traffic. She'll be by don't worry." Paul said handing him a cup, but decided against it, placing the cup on the table after the glare Jason sent his way.

"Maybe you try call her one more time?"

Katherine suggested after she gave up herself.

Jason pursed his lips and drew his phone out of his pocket. Dialing he called, his eyes widened when it started to ring. All the while her number had been unavailable.

"Did she answer?" Katherine asked noticing his reaction.

"No, it's just ringing." He said. "She didn't answer" he said slowly.

"Call again." Paul said.

He pressed the phone again, the voice came out again. "This number is currently unreachable at th-" Jason sent the phone flying and it shattered against the wall.

Katherine sighed and Paul ran his hand through his hair, goodness knows how many phones Jason had destroyed in his life.

"Was that really necessary?" Paul asked.

Jason groaned, "what is wrong with Jessie? Why does she always do this?!" He yelled. "I told her to stay put, how hard is it to stay put? She was surrounded by beautiful clothes and bags and whatever it is that she could want. What else could she be looking for?!"

Katherine and Paul remained quiet, it was always better to let him cool off when he was like this. But to be honest, he was never like this. Infact he never showed any obvious emotion apart from disgust or boredom, he was usually cold and distant. But all of a sudden he was a fiery ball of anger, it was too new to the both of them. So they decided silence was the best line of action.

"She even left the salon before we got there, how could she not be here already?" He asked. Turning to look at them he asked, "do you think she might be in trouble?"

Paul and Katherine looked at each other then back at him. "You said you were with Patricia right? Who else could have done this then?" Paul asked.

"I don't know, her uncle maybe" Jason shrugged.

"Why would Patricia's uncle want to harm Jessie?" Katherine asked.

"I don't know Katherine! I said maybe!" He yelled at her.

"Hey! Don't take out your frustration on me!" She yelled back.

Before things could get heated, Paul came inbetween the two of them.

"Hey, both of you stop it. Jason didn't you say you had a GPS of Jessie? Not the one on her phone, I don't think we'll be able to use that one. " He asked.

"From her phone?" Katherine asked.

"No, and yes that's a perfect idea. I need a new phone." He said walking out of the apartment.

"GPS?" Katherine asked Paul after Jason left to buy a new phone, since he couldn't even call his secretary to get him one.

"When he bought Jessie, they planted a gps device in her body." Paul explained to Katherine.

Katherine's jaw dropped in disbelief. "And let me guess, you guys kept it a secret from her? Why would Jason do that?"

"Well I could only assume it was for times like this." Paul shrugged. "How do you think we found you guys in that department store, taling selfies to get an alibi for your lie?"

Katherine gasped, shaking her head at him. 

"Times like this? So he didn't really let her go? So what was all that talk about releasing her, what that all a lie?" Katherine asked

"Look I have no idea what runs through Jason's mind, but I must say, it's pretty useful to have a GPS device right now isn't it?" He said.

Jason came in before she could answer, "I'll get the tracker, and we'll grab my phone on the way down." He said.

Almost immediately they left the apartment in pursuit of Jessie. "She's moving, look the dot it moving."

"Where is that?" Paul asked.

"I'm not sure, it certainly far away from here. I don't think this is Jessie, something must have happened to her." Jason growled.

"Fine let's go get her then." Katherine said.

They left the building and began to drive in the direction the tracker led them.
