Rodger^^

Liiza's POV

Well... We have finally arrived back. Instead of the boy's house... We decided to go to the apartment. The girls had already been dropped at the airport cause they will have to leave with the flight.

I take my camping bag out of the truck and started heading into the lift. I could use stairs but I'm too tired.

I close it when Andree came in. A few hours ago on our trip back... He apologized. He said he shouldn't have behaved like a total jerk... Which I didn't deny on and that he was overreacting.

As nice as I am, I forgave him and we moved on but I don't think that is gonna last cause when he finds out that I'm the reason Ariel is kidnapped... I don't think he's gonna take that well.

"Again... I'm really sorry about today and I will try as hard as I can not to behave like that again" He said, hugging me. 

"It's ok Dree" I replied with a smile... Hugging him back.

"The reason I reacted that way is that she's missing and everybody was looking so calm like nothing happen. I had to boost them all on" He added.

Honestly... Speaking from his point of view its true. I wonder how they all reacted when I was kidnapped. He's right in some way tho if I can remember properly everyone was sitting and doing nothing about it.

The elevator dinged then the doors slide open on our floor and we both went out. I used the key and opened the door to the apartment. We both headed inside then moved for him to enter while I lock the door. 

I don't have to fully lock the door cause the others will be coming so I just push It a bit and headed back I. I went straight into the room and throw my bag on the bed then fall flat on the bed. 

After a few minutes, I felt the bed deepen beside me. I raise my head and came face to face with Skylar.

"You're acting like you just ran miles" She rolled her eyes and lay on the remaining space. 

Rilee and I share a room in the apartment, cause it only has two rooms we decided that the boys share one and we share one. Its ok and normal for us to share rooms but I don't know how the boys are handling it.

"Guys! You should probably come and see this" I heard Hayden call out to us all. 

I don't wanna get up, but at the same time, I'm curious to know what is going on. With a groan, I raised my head to take a look at Skylar but she seems to be already gone. I immediately got up and went out to the others as soon as I stepped in, they all turned their gazes at me and stared.

"What?" I asked and walked towards them and took the paper that Hayden is holding.

Once again... Hello stupid people
It's me again... The one with your friends if you don't remember. I still have her so don't jump into concllocion.

Anyways... This letter is to inform you that I have changed the location. I want you guys to bring the money over to an old building which is being reconstructed. I'm sure your dear friend Liiza knows where the place is.

She had been there before. No cops or she dies

Kidnapper

"He didn't even spell conclusion right," I said... Trying to lighten up the mode.

"That's not important but what is important is you telling us why he mentioned your name," Andree said.

"I... He... We" I stuttered.

"Liiza what is going on" Zach asked.

I have a feeling that this is the worst confession of my life.

I want to slide this off and dodge the question but everyone is looking for an answer from me and I don't know what to do.

Do I have to say something but what?

"Guys... As important as it is to get the answer from Liiza, we also have to get Ariel back... But we can't just hand him money just like that" Jonah interrupted.

Thank You! He so knows how to save me... Even though it's unknown.

"He's right. We have to do something about it" Andree added.

"I know someone who can help us... " Rilee spoke.

"Who?" The guys asked in unison.

Who could help us in a situation like this?

Oh, wait! Her older brother Rodger

"Oh yeah,  your elder brother... He works for the cops right" I said.

Rilee's brother Rodger started working for the cops when he was 18 and we were 12. He was a brilliant hacker as far as I remember and he would always show me some techniques. I never really memorized any.

"He's like 25 by now right and his son Jacob must be so grown... I remember how we used to play together a lot" I added.

"Yeah...  He used to work for the cops but he's now the officer himself so I can call him right now and inform him about the problem" She said.

"No... He said no cops... So no cops" Andree said.

"OK we have been here for long trying to get ideas but did anyone think of informing her parents?" Daniel asked.

This day cannot get any worst.

If her parents get involved they will make sure that I get jailed for causing their daughters kidnap. Kill me already.

"No! We have to solve this ourselves. Not her parents they would be the least that we inform cause they are gonna go out of their minds. We're gonna find her, then inform them about what happened" Andree said.

"We won't inform the cops. We will inform my brother. He doesn't live far from here so let's go to his house" Rilee added.

We took bothering the papers he gave and put it into Andree's bag. 

"Great then... Let's go" Zach clapped his hands.

We all started walking, heading for the door when we all get stopped by Zach.

"Guys! Don't you think that we should go only a few of us? It's gonna be too much If we all go together" He said.

"That's right... Let Rilee, Liiza and I go... The rest can stay" Andree shrugged and was about to head out but Zach said he wants to go too. Andree opened his mouth to say something but gets stopped by Jonah.

"Go with him. The rest of us will stay here and get the money ready... Just in case we will need it" He said.

Without arguing, Andree walks out and the three of us followed him. We decided to take a cab cause the others might need the car for something.

The ride to his house wasn't that long. The house is quite big, it's a 2 story building.

We all headed to the door and Rilee rings the bell. A few seconds later, it gets open by Jacob.

He's Rodgers first son... We used to be best buddies... I'm not sure if it will be the same, the last time we met, he was only 4. I missed his 5th and 6th birthday.

I have to say... He definitely glowed up. I'm not saying he wasn't good looking when he was younger but he looks way better now.

"Rilee!" He cheered and they hugged each other.

"Hey, Jacob!" She said as they hugged.

"Zach!" He smiled they did bro hug... Even though he's shorter than Zach.

He turned then met eyes with me... Which made me smiled widely.

"Liiza! I haven't seen you in like forever" He said then opened his arms and I hugged him too.

"Jacob! I missed you so much" I said and pinched his cheek.

"You missed my birthdays and never visited me anymore" He pouted.

"I'm so sorry... I couldn't visit you before leaving for London" I apologized.

I don't even know but I guess I was so stuck up in all the problems and stress of leaving that I never got to visit him again or even remember to visit him.

"This is Andree by the way," Rilee said.

"Hi" He spoke softly and shakes Andree's hand. Andree replied with a smile and a hi.

"Where is your dad?" Rilee interrupted.

"He's inside. He just arrived like a few minutes ago" He answered then lets us in.

We all walked in then I spotted Emma in the kitchen with a baby.

Emma is Rodgers wife. She was his high school sweetheart... As he likes to call it. They were together since High school.

Of course, they had their problems and broke up some time but they still ended up together anyway. They had Jacob before marriage tho.

Emma is a beautiful African- American woman with hazel eyes. She is a fashion designer and owns a boutique. I remember alway sgoing there for my shopping. Its now one of the top boutiques in Cali.

"Mom it's Rilee" Jacob screamed then jumped on the couch and picked up his controller.

She spins around and smiled wide then placed the baby on the pink baby cradle and came rushing to us.

"Rilee!" She hugged her then her eyes landed on mine.

"Liiza!!! OMG, I haven't seen you in so long" She cheered like a teenager then hugged me tight and I hugged back.

"How are you doing Emma?" I asked.

"I'm great!" She replied.

She hugged Zach too and we introduced her to Andree then she introduced me to Brenda.

I never really met Brenda. As far as I can remember, Emma was pregnant with her before we left for London.

Rilee did mention to me that it was a baby girl... But she never told me that she was this adorable.

They say she's already one year's old.

We spend some little more time with Emma and the baby then Rodger came down the stairs.

"Rodge" Rilee got up, running up to him and hugged him.

I grinned and then got out of my seat too, walking up to them. It's kind of awkward for me cause It been long since the last time I met him so yeah.

He saw me and we hugged, he asked about family and all... Then we decided to finally just get to the main reason we came.

We all went to the main living room and sat with Rodger while Emma goes to cook and work.

"So... What's wrong?" He asked with a frown.

Andree took out the papers and handed them to him.

He studied the papers with a serious expression then looked up at us and scoffed "This is one dumb threatening note"

"I said the same thing," Rilee said.

I gave her the... Is this really the right time to talk about that. She just shrugged then we turned to him.

"So what you guys are trying to say is that your friend got kidnapped by a dumb guy and you need my help to get her back," He said and we all nodded.

"Why did he kidnap her and how does he know you Liiza?" He asked.

I automatically hold my breath. What do I say?

Is this the time I confess mine.

"I promise to explain that later but for now can we please find a way to get Ariel back," I said.

"OK... Well you know the building he's talking about right?" He asked and I nodded "Does he have any backup or bodyguards?"

"I'm not 100% sure about that but I don't think so. All I do know is that he has some friends... Like 5 of them" I answered.

"Great then... I will inform the unit then we will make some plans" He said.

We all agreed to that but the only person that didn't agree was Andree... He thinks that they might kill her if we involve the cops.

It took us some time to convince him then we headed back to the apartment to make the plans.
