Search & Rescue Pt.1 : A Romantic Series

ked – I felt a lump on my throat as I tried to swallow my saliva and gasp for air, "What? Hell no!". He looked straight into my eyes without blinking, looking straight into the windows

the cars were still parked outside and there was no sign of foul play. We decided to regroup in the living room, and this time Babushka ordered everyone to be present in this meeting, including the female counterparts. Babushka was pacing up and down, demanding a cigarette while one is already lit in his mouth – He has switched on, "I need fucking answers" he said, while starring at everyone closely. He was good at reading people, one mistake or one flinch or any wrong facial expression and he would come for your head and eat you alive. Everyone sat down, he was the only one standing and made it clear that he will be the only speaking. "Before we start I need everyone to lift their hand, and repeat after me" he said, we all lifted up our hands, the following statement was made, "I will speak the truth and nothing else but the truth", we all followed all at once, "I will speak the truth and nothing else but the truth". "Fucking good", he said. We were all a bit intimidated by the whole ordeal, it felt like we were being treated like children but we understood that this was for a greater course and for the good of the whole operation. At this point everybody's loyalty is in question, and we're all at risk here. " When last did you guys see Hailey? Or interacted with her?" nobody answered for like a good 10 seconds, I looked at Savage with the corner of my eye and he was starring at me. "I saw her today" I said, If I didn't say anything in the next 10 seconds Savage might've said something, or even revealed confidential information that would put me in jeopardy. This situation was better off if I handled it myself, used my own narrative to prevent any mistakes from happening and closing all the loopholes. I'm glad Savage didn't utter a word, I don't trust him when he's under pressure – he might fold, then fuck up this whole thing. "When?" they asked, Jake & Babushka. "She was in my room in the early hours of the morning" I said. "The fuck was she doing in your room?" Jake asked – I felt like Tupac, All eyes were on me. Everybody was perplexed because we all knew she'd never set foot inside my room, especially if Faith was around, that would never happen, that's something that we won't get to see in this lifetime. I hate the fact that Jake is always too quick to ask questions whenever Hailey is involved, we all knew that he wanted her, he never shied away from it – it was so deep that he could barely even hide it from us or even his baby mama, how embarrassing. I wasn't happy with his tone either, so I had to retaliate in my defense. "The fuck you mean what the fuck was she doing in my room? What kind of question is that Jake?" I said, "A question that needs an answer, fucking simple Daemon, no math and no calculator needed" he replied. I felt a bit disrespected by the tone and the question itself, I just had to keep it cool and not raise any suspicions. If anything, I don't think they are aware that I slept with her but they are probably thinking that we've been plotting something, which is a lot worse. I am going through a lot, aren't I? surely having a quick fuck is the last thing on my mind, especially with Hailey. Well ha-ha, they thought wrong! Don't ever lie to yourself and think you know somebody no matter how close you guys are. "First of all, she came to check on me and that's something you were unable to do, secondly, is she restricted from entering my room? Thirdly, she said she could help with finding Faith, she has a few strings that she could pull in order to get me all the relevant information I need on her whereabouts – including her exact location, which is something you can't fucking do either!" I responded, I cooked up that half-baked lie within seconds, it wasn't a complete lie I just added a few extras to maximize the taste and make it sound more believable. "Oh interesting, sounds like a good plan, but did she mention where she was going?" ask
