The dark cyan colored Ford Explorer was speeding along the highway.

Inside the stunning SUV sat four anxious teens, their hearts pumping

blood fast as their sights were set on an impatient jeep which was

increasing speed at a tremendous rate as if vying to leave the world

behind.

“Why’s he in such a hurry?” asked Clair who was sitting on the

seat

beside the driver.

“Maybe he can’t wait to perform whatever evil he is planning to

do to

Emily,” said Ethan sourly, his eyes set on the distant shadow of the army

green jeep, hands gripping the steering wheel tightly to the point blood

was leaving his skin.

Clair shot a frowning look at Ethan sideways, her expression saying

clearly: ‘Are you okay, dude?’ While Daniel from the backseat

gave what

was a mixture of snort and a laugh. But Margarete seemed to remain

silent. Ethan only jerked his head slightly in an annoyed motion.

“Look Ethan, I’m sure there’s a good reason why Nathan acted

as he

did, I mean, what even made you think he’s up to something

shady in

the first place?” said Clair.

“Because,” Ethan sighed, suppressing a feeling of

embarrassment but he

swallowed and said, “You know, I’ll admit that I was a bit jealous

of that

bastard at first…”

“What!” gasped Clair in mock astonishment, suppressing laughter, “The

great Ethan was jealous?”38 | P a g e

“Oh, shut up, will ya?” said Ethan exasperatedly. “Anyway, I

wanted to

get back at him. So, I used a bit of the resources I had at my disposal and

hired two professionals to look into Nathan’s past records. At

first, I just

wanted to find some stupid dirt on him, because I knew very well what

kind of things a wild rich kid like him could do. I thought if I could

spread his old dirt around the school, he’d be forced to transfer

school,

or at least Emily would see him differently.”

“Oh god” inhaled Margarete who was sitting beside Daniel in the

back seat.

“Jesus fucking Christ, man!” exclaimed Daniel from behind. “You’d

really go that far for a girl? Just how fucked up is you, man?”

“In your own weird way, you really cared for her, and still do, don’t you?”

said Clair, sounding as if she was almost impressed.

Ethan did not respond, his eyes still locked onto the form of the fleeting

jeep.

“So, what did your spies find out on Nathan?” asked Margarete,

breaking the silence.

Ethan chuckled, “Marge, you can’t hire a spy! Anyway, my privet

eyes

reported that they found nothing.”

“Oh,” exhaled Clair, “that’s good.”

“See? You’re just bring paranoid, man. Nathan helped me out in

the

past, he could never be a bad guy!” said Daniel with a tone of finality.

Ethan only eyed them using the back view mirror. His stare, cold and

mocking.

“What?” snapped Daniel. “Did I miss something?” “What is it, Ethan?” asked Clair with a frown. An uneasy

sensation was

creeping into her seeing Ethan’s expression.

“My privet eyes,” said Ethan slowly, “didn’t find anything. What I

meant

to say was, they didn’t find anything at all!”

A long silence followed Ethan’s last words, which seemed as if

they were 39 | P a g e

hanging midair, still spreading shock.

Clair spoke first, her voice quite and her expression puzzled as if failing

to process what she had just heard, “Ah- wait- what do you mean by not

finding anything at all?”

“I meant that I had my guys follow the information Nathan

submitted to

the school. And they investigated the school he previously attended. For

such a wild guy, no one seemed to know him or even seen him before.

They checked his residential details and they all matched up correctly

but surprise, surprise, none of his neighbors ever even seen or at least

heard of him in their entire life!”

“But how could that be?” protested Clair.

“Dude,” said Daniel, his voice almost inaudible, “are you telling

me that

this Nathan is an imposter?”

“I’m afraid there’s no other explanation for this,” Ethan looked

almost

pleased seeing their reaction. “That’s exactly why I was worried

about

Emily’s safety.”

“Oh, sweet Jesus!” cried Clair quietly. “Is that why we can’t

contact

Emily? Is he really keeping her?” She gulped, then frantically

looked

back and forth from Ethan to Daniel to Margarete. “Shouldn’t

we call

the cops?”

“But,” said Margaret slowly, voicing her opinion for the first time, “if he’s

really keeping Emily his prisoner like Ethan is saying, then none of his

behavior today makes sense at all. He looked really stressed out and

worried in the morning when I saw him at the library. He looked like he

didn’t have sleep at all last night. And what’s more… the things

he said

before he left school… what did he mean by that?”
