************

(It's Friday and this is a great chance for our mission. Today I leave work early and so is Zoe)

Nancy didn't want to be a part of that mission.

(we must play our cards perfectly otherwise it will fail or we might as well be caught, which is the last thing I want. We must make sure no one sees us because someone can be locked up for this)

I was sitting in my office reasoning about the plan Zoe had come up with last week, on figuring out the *John suspicious behavior*.

I was already done with my work, now waiting for knock-off time,

(can it be it already)

I was nervous but I still wanted to do it. in that way, I was gonna be satisfied.

Nancy came in my office and steadily pulled out the chair in front of her and took a seat, staring at me as if I had done something terrible.

"what, what's that look for," I asked pushing back my hair carefully but did she care to answer, no but stuck her eyes on me as I did the same, we both frowned to each other.

"I hope you not here to convince me Nancy" I narrowed my eyes and she sighed heavily, WORRIED. "I don't think this is a good idea" she murmured, pulling an eyebrow and shaking her head lightly.

During that week, I had told her what Zoe and I were planning to do. Concerning John's suspicious phone calls and she was never agreeing with the plan.

She continued "and I still say you and Zoe are overreacting" I tried to say something but she wouldn't let me. she continued "and! This is a terrible idea, at least try to search his phone rather".

(maybe she's right..no! It's better this way) I narrowed.

I snapped out of the thought when she cleared her throat loudly and snapping her fingers on my face.

"Uh? no, it's better this way" I shook my head refusing to her last statement.

She looked away and said "ok but don't say I didn't warn you". That alone brought back my nervousness but I was not going to change my mind.

I changed the topic, asked her about the program we were currently working on at work. We were both in the same team and working on the same project together though she was my team leader we were very close.

She was practically my friend too.

Not long she stood up from the chair opposite mine in my office table and turned her back heading to the glass door "don't do it" she murmured, pointing at me with her index finger like I was a naughty child.

(What if she's right, Nah, I want to do it and in that way I'll be satisfied)

I stared back at my office computer and continued with the least work that I had to finish up before knock-off time. I was just trying to get rid of the thousand thoughts.

****
Later, Zoe and I were ready for our mission. I was already in my black tracksuits and flat running sneakers, Zoe on hers too,

Ready to go.

"Are you sure about this" asked Zoe with a frown.

(I don't know)

"let's do this" I bravely murmured before she started the engine, and off we went. Driving to John's workplace where our mission was to begin.

20 minutes later we were already there but driving around trying to get a perfect spot to park and hide, finally, we got a spot where he wouldn't see us not by any chance whenever he was to go where he parked his car.

"Are we really doing this?" I asked in a nervous voice. "Do you want to change your mind, we're already here no turning back just relax..nothing bad will happen all we will do is to follow him to his house then-" Zoe convinced me.

But before she could finish with her explanations, something caught my eye far from our hiding spot.

(It's him)

"huh wait! There he is Zoe fasten up your seat belt. let's get him before he goes too far". I was staring at John who was exiting the building, heading to the parking lot.

Instantly When Zoe started the engine my stomach boiled out of fear but I was already there and certainly was not going to change my mind.

Guilt heated me when we took off already following the rage rover Evoque as if we were secret agents following the most wanted criminal.

(Spying huh)

The rage rover seemed to be too fast for Zoe's Kia Picanto, but she was right behind him leaving two cars in front of her. We were playing it smart, we made sure not to be directly behind him. With no doubt, he was going to notice us because he had seen Zoe's car before.

(Oh my God)

"where is he going, didn't you say his house was at Bryanston?" Zoe frowned as she was looking at the rage rover taking a turn instead of driving straight.

That was not expected.

I myself also frowned but we kept following him since neither of us had been to his house so we wouldn't know if Bryanston was really the place as he told me, all we had to do was to follow where he was going.

(What the hell)

My heart beats at that point, was not as they usually beat.

The reason we were following him was to found out who he really was anyway. "that's what he told me to remember I have never gone to his house before" I said. She made a sizzle sound and shook her head out of surprise, and confusion.

Now no cars were in between the rage rover and the Kia Picanto, so we were following him steadily trying not to be noticed.

My palms started sweating of the nervous system.

When the rage rover pulled off in front of one of the noble houses in Fourways it got our attention, and we stared from afar not so sure if it was his house or friends.

(It better be not his house)

John pulled out his hand through the window to reach a digital gate lock, by the look of it that was his house, because after punching in few numbers on the digital gate lock the gate opened and he drove in after the gate automatically closed behind him.

(John lied to me)

My face heated out of anger, "he lied to me, he said his house was in Bryanston, not Fourways, how could he, why, why would he lie to me?" I squeaked looking at Zoe who was looking at me apologetically.

I felt my eyes getting watery when I realized that he lied to me. If he lied about his house where about, what else did he lie about?

(Why)

Right there I knew my tears had escaped my eyes without my will when Zoe stretched her hand to wipe a tear on my cheek. "I'm so sorry sweetie," she said.

"Take me home just take me home Zoe" I mumbled in a depressed voice as Tears streamed down my cheeks.

(I wanna go home)

She looked at me for a moment without saying a thing, she Then turned her head back to the steering wheel, then to the keyhole turning off the engine before she took out the key then turned her head back to me again.

"I'm not taking you home Emily," she said with a frown, her teeth clenched as she also formed a fist.

(What the hell)
