Chapter 0039

Kaia POV

I was in the office with Hector, a not as talkative office buddy as usual. Hector seemed deep in thought, my eyes catching him looking at me when my face was turned. Then he would move quickly enough so that I never catch him in the act, but I could see in peripheral vision that he was watching me...what was he thinking.

He claims he didn't give me up in a trade and I believe him. No one could feign that level of sincerity as he did last night.

I was checking my private email account in the office. I do not give out my email account often, I use it as a storage facility and can't run the risk of it being hacked. Even Than never knew my email address, I always made sure he text me at college. But he spent every moment of the day with me at college, so he hardly ever texted either. (1 Only a select few know my email address, one of which had emailed me with an update.

The picture attached to the email was what I had been waiting for. A picture of Father captured by a CCTV camera. He didn't look as sharply dressed as I remember but it was definitely him. The picture was grainy but there was no mistaking his salt and pepper hair colour, I actually didn't look a lot like Father. Getting my colouring from Mother, or so he always said.

An instant message request window pops up on my screen, from my contact. He was online and somehow knew I was too.

"The CCTV picture is in a coastal area. Can you get there?"

I suppose I came here looking for information for Father and haven't moved on as I didn't know where he was...this new lead should be the reason I move on now. "Soon..." I reply, after rubbing at my eyes.

I only had a small window to type in, not the space for an entire essay of what really has been going on.
