Chapter 75
Sly
Megan’s POV:
“Phew!” I exhaled with relief.
I quickly got my hoodie on and put on my sunglasses to avoid being recognized by anyone.
Then, it quickly dropped in my mind that Jane might still be followed so I texted her immediately to get out of her car and meet me on the other side of the road.
“Thank God you are safe!” I said happily hugging Jane.
“So… so where do we go from here?” Jane asked me with her eyes sprinting all over the place.
“Chris lives around here. I think will be safe there for a while!” I told her as we walked.
“I swear, I will make sure Kayla and Hailey pay for every single thing that they are making us go through!” Jane swore.
“I know right!” I replied.
“I feel way more than that if you were to ask me!” I told Jane.
“There it is!” Jane tried to use the back door immediately.
“No!” I stopped her at once.
“What if we are being watched… that will make them or suspicious that I am around here!” I made her understand.
“The back door will be fine!” I said as I directed her.
“Oh shit!” Chris welp on seeing us.
“You both hot me scared.” He revealed.
“I am so sorry for that. Jane was being trailed on her way back from the grocery store, so we could not find any option than to get her here!” I explained.
“Goodness!” Chris lamented.
“Bad timing, in nit?” Chris commented.
“What do you mean by that… are we not welcomed here?” I asked him as I stole glances at Jane trying to understand Chris.
“No… no… never!” Chris reverted at once.
“The only problem we got at hand now is that Lily is here!” Chris whispered silently.
“What the?” I was sorely angered by what he said.
“Why are you going to let her into your house Chris, that woman is a…” I continued as he cut me short.
“Shh!” Chris said.
“Earlier today, she told me that her uncle was sick and needed her help…” Chris started explaining.
“Oh, she is just lying. Lily has no uncle!” I said rolling my eyes.
“The point is that she later showed up here saying that she needs company since you are no longer by her side!” Chris explained.
“That is not the plan… they know that Megan’s going to show up here one way or the other… so she is here to spy!” Jane replied.
“I thought as much, I am just going to find a way to…” Chris said.
“Chris!” We heard Lily called approaching us.
“Now, you all hide in the kitchen!” Chris told us quickly.
“Why is it taking you too long to be ready, or do I make dinner myself?” She asked him.
“No, no!” Chris told her quickly.
“I will do that myself!” He said.
“This entire place smells familiar.” Lily told him.
“What do you mean by that?” I asked him.
“I mean it smells like Megan, or am I just imagining things?” She asked him.
“Oh, poor Megan. I missed my friend so much!” Lily said as she got sober.
“Sly… tch!” I sucked my teeth.
“I guess you are missing Megan a lot, but same goes for me!” I told her.
“You know what. I will just finish up dinner while you wait!” Chris tried to dissuade her.
“That was close though!” Chris said tired as he came to meet us.
“I think I will just let her go away after this!” Chris told us.
“No… let her stay!” I replied quickly.
“Why?” Jane asked surprised.
“I want her to fall into the same ditch that she dug!” I told them all.
“That is a good idea Megan but also very dangerous!” Jane dissuaded me.
“It will be worth being given a try, huh?” I urged them.
“Sure! But I will be out of here sooner than you think!” Jane said rolling her eyes.
This is going to be the longest nights ever for me, because I will make sure that I trail Lily and get as many information, that I can get, so she goes to jail quickly than I think.
I will sit behind the couch rolled up like a snail, then stand behind the bathroom door to hear her conversations with whosoever, she talks with.
It is draining that I need to do all of these, but my life, career and safety depends on this and the lives of all those that care about me.
I realized that Lily was careful about her conversations, but unluckily for her I heard and recorded every single thing that she said.
Even though, they were stuff that I have heard before, I am still hoping to get my hands on a chunk load of information and if it cost me my sleep, I will be sacrificing it.
“She is not here either!” I heard Lily said over the phone as I listened with apt attention.
“Are you sure about that?” I could hear the voice of whosoever was speaking on the other side.
“Yeah!” Lily replied.
“Although, I perceived that she was around Chris’s place, but I was wrong. I only perceived her perfume!” Lily explained.
“That means she must have been there!” The person said.
“No… it could have just been a similar perfume, maybe!” Lily explained.
“Lily, there is no smoke without fire you know?” I heard.
“You need to look around, what we want might be just there!” The person told her.
“Okay, I will just search more!” Lily told her.
Whether they decided to search or not, I have gotten strong evidence against them, and they are soon going to be grounded.
It is going to be an interesting ride when the truth is out, and Lily will be seen got the kind of person that she is.
I can’t imagine the level of shame that’s going to happen to her when everyone sees her for who she is.
But let her get on with her search, she will only search and search without finding anything.
“Megan!” Jane whispered as she walked around the room.
“Where are you?” She asked
“Lily is burning incense. I think she knows that you are here!” Jane said pointing at the hallway.
“Yeah, she does! What is the matter now?” I asked.
“You need to leave here! You know how you react to these things!” Jane reminded me.
“Sure… but how!” I asked her as we both heard Chris coughing.
“Why are you burning incense… oh my God!” He yelled.
“Or do you want to kill me?” He asked her.
“My guardian angel!” I muttered silently with a faint smile dancing on my face.
