Chapter 10

"It's you," Perfida recognized, the three boys caught up to her and saw that she was talking to the man wearing white. "You're that nurse."

"Oh, it's you. Hello again," the man confirmed and holding the photo in his hand. "Sorry, we didn't get to introduce ourselves last time, I'm Noah."

"Perfida."

"And this must be yours," he was about returned the photo to her but he got a quick peek of it. "Isn't this...?" Perfida gulped. "Is this Ricky? this is my patient's friend?"

"Yeah..."

"Why do you have this?"

"Uhm... we're kinda... looking for him."

"Oookay." he gave the photo back to her. "Why?".

"We're intern bloggers for this investigation site," Vance jumped in to help Perfida. "We are looking for him to ask him about Void."

"Why not just ask Pena?".

"Ask Pena?" Perfida looked at him in strange way. "She said that she never saw him again after what happened to Void."

"Really?" Noah seem confused. "There are few times I heard her talking to the with a Ricky." The kids' mouths dropped to the floor so after seeing their expression "maybe it's not the same Ricky, it is a commom name."

"Maybe," Vance nodded yet he was in disbelief along with the others.

"I have to go," Noah started walking away. "I'll see you around."

"Bye, Noah," Perfida said to him, once he was gone then turned to gang with a baffled look. "What the heck? she lied was lying through her teeth!"

"Let's not jump to conclusion, we have like thirty guys named Ricky in AII," March said.

"What if he is our Ricky?"

"Perfida is right, we can't take any chances on avoiding that," Vance said.

"What should we do then?" Leyo asked.

"Now this is easy, I hope it's just worth it in the end."

-------

At night, Perfida was asleep in her room and she was starting to dream another premonition, it was different this time. She saw what looked like the woods, it didn't looked like a simulation, it had lots of trees and streams, she could hear water running and a dog barking.

Morning came, Perfida woke up from that dream and from Harrison's barking from the kitchen because he was hungry "oh, it's just a dream," she said to herself.

Later, the gang decided on spying Pena to watch her every move to see if he really was seeing Ricky and that she was actually lying to them. They were in a burger shop across her apartment building "I can't believe your dad lend us a tracker device from AGA," Perfida expressed holding a tiny chip round device.

"Yeah, I told him that were gonna do a stake out so he gave me this," Vance answered.

"Just like that?"

"Just like that."

"Okay, so how are we going to put this to her?"

"That's me and March's job, I just thought since she met you and Leyo and all".

"Alright."

"Also, I was thinking that Perdita can spy on them the whole day, if that's okay?"

"I'll do it," Perdita agreed.

"She said she'll do it," Perfida told Vance what her twin said.

"Stellar, let's go in then," Vance said. "She's coming with us, Perfida and Leyo stay here."

"Okay, I just sent you a photo to see what she looked like."

Vance looked at his phone "got it, thanks. Come on, March and Perdita."

The two boys and Perdita were waiting for Pena to come out from the building while Perfida and Leyo were watching them from the burger shop. Expectedly, Pena exited the building "there she is," March pointed.

"Alright, you know what to do," Vance whispered to him and gave him the tracker.

"I got this."

"Hey, miss," Vance got Pena's attention.

"Uhmm... can I help you?" Pena asked.

"Yes, can you answer this survey, it's for my school project?" Vance handed her his tablet with questionaires in it.

"You have a school project on summer?" Pena gave him this suspiscious look.

"Summer school," he lied with a nervous laugh. "I flunked... survey class."

"That's... unfortunate," Pena brushed it off and just answered the made up survey in his tablet. March was behind her trying to place the device inside her while she was distracted, there was a wide pocket in front of the purse and that was where he was targetting but the opening was too thin. Vance was keeping both eyes on Pena and March since he had a hard time putting a pea-sized object in a small bag, both of them were feeling the pressure. Pena was done answering but March was not yet able to do his part. "Here you go, kid."

"Thanks." Vance got his tablet back. "But before you go, I need to take a video of you saying that you did this survey legitamately answered the survey."

"Fine," Pena sighed.

Vance managed to buy time for March, he took out his phone and started recording her, "say your name and then say I genuinely answered this survey from this student of yours, Vance Howes."

"Got it."

"Ready and action!".

"I am Pena Void and I..." while she was reciting her lines, March tried to put the tracker inside. "Sorry, what is it again?" March immediately backed away out of panic.

"I genuinely answered this survey from this student of yours, Vance Howes."

"Okay, let's do this again."

"Yes, please." Vance plastered a teethy smiled and looked March, signalling him to just shove the tracker in her bag. "Take your time."

"Okay, I'm ready."

"And action!"

"I am Pena Void and I... genuinely answered," she recited again, March finally placed the tracker inside then gave a thumbs up to Vance letting him know that he did it. "This student of your, Vance Howes. How's that?".

"Perfect, thank you for your time."

"Glad I can help, I hope you passed that... survey class," after that, she left him thinking that was a rather odd experience. Not only that, Perdita was following Pena to do her role into their mission.

The two boys were back in the burger shop "Perdita is with Pena now," Perfida informed.

"Great, now let's see if the tracker works," Vance opened in a tracker pad that shows where the person are with the chip. "If not, me and my father gave away an AGA tech for ghosts helping."

"Let's cross our fingers then," Perfida said.

There was a blinking red light on his handheld pad in a GPS map "there it is, it's working," Leyo pointed.

"We did it, we did it, yeah! we did it," Vance sang in victory and danced with March.

"We still have to wait if she's going to see Ricky," Perfida reminded.

"Right, this could take long too."

Perdita followed Pena as she walked to the streets then commuting using the AirShuttle to an office building. The interior was so red and industrial with modern style, seats were covered in velvet, Perdita was wowed once she looked around, she saw there were dashing men coming in and out the elevators assisted by attractive women then she saw some flirting going on, "what is this place?" she questioned.

"She works in matchmaking agency," Vance said, the soulpadres were outside since the tracker that they planted in Pena's bag was working.

"My sister is a big girl anyway," Perfida said back.

"Why not just use apps for this?" Leyo asked.

"Because apps doesn't dig deep enough to know what's your ideal partner. That's what my grandpa say, he used to go in this type of places."

"I wonder how much they pay to find your Mr. Right?" March quipped after seeing some men in suits walking out the premises.

Perdita got to Pena's office as she started working as an in-house therapist "if I wasn't a ghost, I'd die of boredom now," she moaned.

------

Couple of hours passed and nothing happened, no movement, no update from Perdita, the soulpadres were by the bench at the end of the streets from the building "I feel like dying of boredom is possible," Perfida expressed yet she was playing games in her phone with March and Leyo was sleeping on his lap.

"Okay, new plan," Vance declared as he stood up.

"Okay, what is it?"

"Me and March go while you and Leyo stay."

"Why?" Perfida exclaimed.

"Because we did our part now it's the two of you and you're the only that can only talk to your sister when she got something or not. Oh and here," Vance said and gave Perfida the tracker pad then March moved the sleeping Leyo to her lap.

"But..."

"Relax, we're just gonna figure out our next move in... TocaTokyo."

Perfida glared at Vance "buy me blueberry milktea with 25% sugar and takoyaki."

"Yes, ma'am."

------

Back inside, Perdita was hanging there for ages, watching Pena talking to clients after clients after clients. Another one came in with a woman with pixie grey hair, bold make up wearing a fuschia suit "love it," Perdita admired her outfit.

"Ricky, good afternoon," Pena greeted her, Perdita was stuped when she heard her say that name. "Please, sit down, what brings you here?"

"Thank you, darling," the woman said.

The office hours ended and people coming out from the premises to go home, Perfida looked at the tracker pad then at the doorway, she saw Pena walking out with her sister tailing and they were coming on Perfida's way "oh my crapolai, she cannot see us," she freaked and carried Leyo like a toddler to a store to hide.

Pena walked passed the store and did not notice the two kids there "that was close," Leyo said.

"Yeah," Perfida said back then saw Perdita. "Psst Purdy, over here."

"Peach," Perdita was surprised to see her sister. "What are you guys doing in there?"

"We just don't want her to see us, so? anything?"

"Ricky is actually a name of a client of her and she's a woman."

"Really? no," Perfida was disappointed.

"What did your sister say?" Leyo asked.

"It's not our Ricky, not even close."

"You asked your sister to spy on a person inside a matchmaking agency?" Archie scoffed once the twins went home and told their grandfather what they did.

"We're big girls," Perfida answered and didn't see anything wrong about it. "Plus, she was already inside before we found out what it was."

"See a lot rich men, Purdy?"

"They're very cute and very loaded," Perdita answered.

"Very good eye. Are you two going back there tomorrow?"

"We're not going back there," Perfida added.

"No leads?"

"Not in her workplace."

"The other Ricky in her life is an old woman," Perdita explained.

"Is she pretty?" Archie asked.

"Gorgeous and elegant with a great suit".

"Maybe I should stop by there."

"We'll give you the address," Perfida winked. "Hopefully, Vance have new plan by now."
