Chapter 10

Austin's POV

We left the hospital an hour later. Her parents went home to call the priest and prep for a prayer service for the morning to pray for Emilio's soul. I had Trish drive us to the boonies of Miami. We strolled on a deck and came up to a yacht. It was well taken care of. We jumped above boat, and I looked about for my friend. I heard a gun being cocked and a barrel touching my head. I raised my hands, "Nemo, it is just me, your buddy Austin from rehab."

She spoke in an Australian Accent, "Why in the bugger are you sneaking about, why not yell out my name you idiot fool?" She laughed and pulled the riffle back. I turned around.

"Why are you so paranoid?" I asked.

"Paranoid, no, more like careful." She was a true beauty, she had amber colored eyes and red fiery hair.

"Why so careful?" I asked.

"You know why. And you know exactly what I do. So what's up with the surprise visit and who are your friends?"

"We need some help. This is Trish and Dez. Trish and Dez, this is Nemo. My buddy from Rehab. You remember me telling you about Ally? We think she may be in some sort of trouble. One person had died, and he has a morbid sense of art. We could use you forensic, profiler, and hacker help." I said and she pursed her lips, and I bowed, "Please oh great mystical federal guru."

She laughed, "Fine… Come inside idiot, and you two… Dez and Trish… correct?"

They nodded and we entered in the yacht. It was spacious. There were huge screens. TVs… views of different areas of the world. Maybe she was hooked into the satellites again. She was a burned CIA agent. She was determined to get her badge back, discretely. Someone was also out to kill her. She and I hit it off. She was like a sister to me really. A better sister than the one of whom had disappeared from my life long ago, why the accent. She lived there for a good while and it stuck. She had a great many computers. The screen took up one of the walls. It was touch screen.

"Okay," she grabbed her touch pad and went into the AFIS data base, "Tell me about the bastard you are worried about, oh and put the samples on the table in the corner next to mass spectrometer. I did so.

Trish spoke, "His name is Elliot Kingleton." She typed his name in and there was no name found. She check all birth records.

"Hmm… now that is weird. Not even in any hospital records. Let me check Interpol."

"Won't you get caught?" Dez asked.

"Of course not, I am the best damn hacker in the world. I never leave a trace. That's why I was in the CIA so long. Better to put me to use. I could bring all governments down to their knees." She said.

"That was modest." I commented sarcastically.

"Sorry if I sound cocky, but it is the truth. Did it when I was sixteen. Parents were pissed, and that's why I was placed into the CIA. Never saw my family again."

"That is so sad," Dez replied.

"I think I am going to need his fingerprint or picture…" Nemo said in distress.

"What is you hack Ally's phone or computer? I am sure she has Elliot's phone number or email address." I suggested.

"Worth a shot, I guess. A-L-L-Y-D-A-W-S-O-N…"

Ally's POV

I started closing up shop. How very weird, I had not heard from Trish, Dez nor Austin all day. That was bizarre. I wonder what they were all up to. Eh, whatever, I am going to dinner with Elliot tonight. I locked the front door and went into the practice room. I changed into a new, black dress. A satin dress with a see through lace around the collar area and no sleeves; the dress showed off my curves, and ended a few inched above the knee. I put on some cute silver pumps and some make up and straightened then flared my hair. I looked in the mirror. I looked sexy but not slutty. I left the shop and headed out, and Eliot waited there in his BMW. He had a look of lust in his eyes. Yea… not going to happen tonight buddy.

We went to a French restaurant. We sat there and chatted a bit. He was nervous and fidgety. It was kind of cute. "Elliot, are you okay?"

"Yes, just nervous."

I giggled, "Why? Not like we haven't been out to eat before."

"You just look so beautiful."

My cheeks reddened, "Thank you, that is so sweet."

"Ally I love spending time with you. You make me so happy." He uttered.

My heart thudded and I smiled at him nervously, "I feel the same way too."

"Ally… Will you be my girlfriend?"

Austin's POV

I watched Nemo as she read through a plethora of encrypted files. It was a completely different language. I did not understand it at all. I don't know how she could read all of that. "Man I need to pay more attention in school." I blurted. She snickered and kept reading on.

"Well that is interesting," she smiled.

"What I asked all curiously."

"Sorry, not going to let you invade her privacy… but Trish I would check your email."

Trish pulled her phone out of her pocket, she read it and her eyes widened. "Oh my gosh…." Her foot began to tap uncontrollably. She knew something and it was a secret, and Trish is horrible at keeping a secret. I grinned menacingly, "So Trish… what is it?"

She quickly stood up and ran out of the room, "Dez you should chase after her." He stood up and ran out of the door.

"You are evil," Nemo cackled.

Dez's POV

I chased after Trish. She was faster than she looked. After a few minutes I caught up to her and stopped her. "Trish, stop! What is wrong?"

"I have to keep this secret! I am horrible at keeping secrets…" she paused and stared at me menacingly, "But you, you are good at keeping secrets… You cannot tell anyone. Not even Austin! Swear on your starfish!"

"I can't!"

"Swear Dez," She pushed me.

"I swear," I screamed.

"Austin and Ally kissed! And she thinks that she may have feelings for him."

"Austin has been in denial that he likes her."

We both screamed in excitement and jumped around dancing. A crowded stopped and looked at us. As soon as we noticed we headed back to the Yacht. Austin walked over to me, "I can't say. Sorry bud."

Austin's mouth just about dropped to the floor. I went over and sat next to Trish.

Austin's POV

How could he not tell me. They sat over there whispering and giggling like a couple of school girls. And they had a secret. A secret that I wanted to know. I must be somehow part of that secret. I turned to Nemo. I barely opened my mouth and she turned to me, "Don't even think about asking. I am not telling. I found his email. So my system is tracing it. And as my system does that, I will work with Senor Mass Spect…" She walked over to her lab area and began working with Mass Spectrometer and some DNA to plug into AFIS. I growled out of frustration. Everyone knows something I don't know. What the hell is that?

I pulled out my phone and sent Ally a text, "Hey Als, what're you up to?" I pressed sent and the thought of her lips brushing against mine entered my mind. I was on a brief vacation, then had a though. Trish has been Ally's best friend for like ever. I turned to them. "She told you, didn't she Trish?"

"I don't know what you are talking about." Trish played dumb.

"She told you about our kiss this morning?" I asked. She gave me a discomforting look. "What else did she say?"

"Uh, uh, uh…" she plugged her ears, "LALALALALALALALA I can't hear you! LALALALALALALA!"

"Dez?" I raised my eyebrow and glared.

"Uh uh uh," he looked around and covered his ears with his hands, "LALALALALALALALALALALALALALA LA" Then the two both danced out of the room.

Nemo snickered, "Too funny. I like those two."

I gave her a quick glare, "Shut up Nemo."

She laughed evilly, "You just hate not knowing. I find it amusing."

"Jerk," she smacked the back of my head lightly, and moved back over to her massive computer. "Got it… Elliot Kimbell… strange… he dropped out of school a couple years back when his parents went missing. But this kid lives well. His parents were well off. He is not enrolled at any school. And he has some morbid fascinations with death. Makes me wonder if he witnessed his parents' death…. But they're missing… hmm…"

"Maybe he killed them." I blurted aggressively.

"Possibly, but calm down. Now I am involved and you will not do this on your own. We have to gather more evidence than that. I have the old address. They use to live in Jersey. I will call a buddy to keep an eye on Ally, as we go check on his old place." She muttered as she went and grabbed her phone. I swallowed hard in worry.

Will Ally say yes or will she say no? What happened to Elliot's parents? Will Dez and Trish ever stop running... because they still are, and I am pretty sure people are staring again... Will Austin be able to save her? Will he be able to admit to himself how he truly feels, or will Elliot drive a wedge between the two? Please review!
