James knocked on the door. A few seconds later the door opened.
"What do you want?" Jett asked.
"Are you the Richard guy?" James asked.
"What makes you think I am?" Jett said.
"Because the ip address was traced back to the Palmwoods and you two hated each other." James said.
"I'm not the Richard guy." Jett said.
"You know who is?" James asked.
"No, I don't. Now I have something to do." Jett said.
"Lucy, I need to talk to you." James said.
"What is it?" Lucy said.
"The detective said the ip address belong to that Richard guy came from the Palmwoods. Do you know anyone or saw an older guy here that might be him?"
"There was this older guy I never seen him before going in Jett's apartment."
"What? I was just talking to Jett and he said he didn't know." James said.
"Maybe it wasn't that guy but then I saw Kendall he didn't looked too happy." Lucy said.
"When was this?" James asked.
"The day Kendall disappeared." Lucy said.
"And you didn't mention this to the cops?" James said.
"I did." Lucy said.
"Jett! Open up!" James yelled.
"What?" Jett said, opening the door.
"Who was the older guy that was in your apartment? Lucy told me she saw him going in your apartment." James said.
"Okay fine. I'll tell you. The older man was the Richard guy. I let him use my computer. I didn't know what he was doing at first and when I found out I was shocked." Jett said.
"How do you know this guy?" James said.
"Because that Richard guy is . . . my father."
"What!" James said.
"That's why I didn't tell you. My father came to visit me. He said he wanted to use my computer for work. Then he told me he met a guy. I didn't know it was Kendork at first until after he found out the truth. He thought I was the Richard guy and that i just paid someone and I went along with it. I didn't told the cops because if I did then my father would probably be in jail." Jett said.
Katie got out a cigarette and lit it.
"I didn't know you was back." Jett said.
"I just got back today. What do you want Jett?" Katie asked, flickering her cigarette.
"I, uh - "
"Aren't you going to spit it out?" Katie said.
"There was a bloody handprint at a convinent store the day your brother disappeared." Jett said.
"What? And why haven't anyone told me this?"
"The cop who found it apparently got fired." Jett said.
"How do you know this?" Katie said.
"Because he was the one to question me and told me about the handprint but never told me who it belonged to." Jett said.
"So, why are you telling me this? If you don't know who the handpriint belonged to." Katie said.
"We could find out who the handprint belonged to. Maybe go to that convinent store." Jett said.
"And what if that doesn't work?" Katie asked, skeptical.
"It's worth a shot." Jett said.
Jett and Katie walked in the convinent store and walked to the front desk.
"Are you the manager?" Jett asked.
"I am. What can I do for you?" The manager asked.
"My brother went missing a year ago. Here's a picture of him. Have you seen him?" Katie asked, showing the manager the picture of Kendall.
The manager looked at the picture.
"He came in about a year ago. I really don't much know what else. I'm sorry." The manager said.
"Do you have cameras?"Jett asked.
"I do. I showed a officer the video of that night and never heard anything else about it. I assumed he was found." The manager said.
"Do you still have that video of the night?" Katie asked, looking at the manager hopeful.
"I think I do. But I usually don't let people watch the tapes unless it's an officer or something like that. But I'll make an exception." The manager said. "Follow me."
Katie and Jett followed the manager in the back of the staff room.
"The officer made a copy but I still have the original." The manager put the tape in and pressed play.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The manager asked.
Kendall looked outside the door.
"Are you alright?" What happened to your hand?" The manager said, noticing Kendall's hand had blood on it.
"I, uh, you have any bandages?" Kendall asked, still focused on the door.
"In the middle aisle by the notebooks and pencils." The manager said.
Kendall walked to the aisle and grabbed some bandages. He walked to the counter and put the bandages down on the counter.
"Are you you're okay? You want me to call someone?"
"No, I'm fine." Kendall said.
The manager looked at him. "That'd be $3.19."
Kendall handed the manager a $5 dollar bill and told the manager to keep the change. Then Kendall left quickly out of the store.
"Katie, where have you been?" James asked.
"What was you doing at the convinent store a year ago? You was on the video. After Kendall left the store, a minute later you came in. And in the video, it seemed like Kendall was running away from someone." Katie said.
"I don't remember going to the store." James said.
"Did you had something to do with my brother's disappearance?" Katie said.
"No, of course not." James said.
Ms. Knight phone rang, she picked it up and answered it.
Katie walked in the kitchen and saw her mother dropped the phone.
"Mom, what's going on?" Katie asked.
"That was the police officer. H - he wants me to come down to the station. He said he had some news." Ms. Knight said.
"What news?" Katie said.
"From the way he sounded on the phone, it didn't seemed like good news." Ms. Knight said.
Hoped you like it. Does the officer have good or bad news? Did James had something to do with Kendall's disappearance? Did you guess the Richard guy right? Next chapter I'm hoping will be up sometime this weekend.
