C H A P T E R 26

This past week has been H for hectic. Nothing is going right, literally. Kenny has been extra busy, which gave me the opportunity to search for the flash drive. That's a good thing right ? no.

I went to every one of his twelve offices in Mayville but I found nothing. I disguised myself as a cleaner or security guard while dad and Maddie took care of the footage. I searched high and low for the small USB, but I found nothing.

I searched every corner and every spot in his office wether be in the Special Ops headquarters, FBI depots, Mayville Police department stations, SWAT buildings, K.B Investigators H.Q's . Every place I could think of, I was there.

What is frustrating is that I have two weeks on my deadline. My three months ends in two weeks. I didn't even realise how time flew by. I kept forgetting the reason I'm here and now, I don't have much time. If I don't get the flash drive then I'll have no choice but to leave. I don't want to leave but I know that my dad will abort my mission and we'll have to find another way to get the flash drive. I don't wanna go away from Kenny, I don't wanna go. I know it will hurt when I do so. But I'll have to live with it because I'll have to leave whether I find the flash drive or not. It's up to me whether I leave with the flash drive or I leave empty handed, I have to go away from here either way. Well it isn't up to me. It is up to whether I find the flash drive or not.

With that being said, I resorted to my last attempt, a bug. I gifted Kenny a new watch yesterday. I planted a bug on the watch, that way I can listen to his conversations throughout the day. This might give me something to work with, a location, information, anything to help me find the flash drive.

I know I'm taking my chances. Kenny used the flash drive as evidence against the Sixty eight's on trial weeks ago. And now that the Sixty eight's are behind bars, he has no reason to talk about it. This could literally be a mission impossible, but nothing is impossible at this point.

I have been rotating between work, looking for the flash drive and spending time with Kenny. I hate that I have to do all this at once. I just want to spend time with Kenny. Our time together is limited. I need to feel him, see him, touch him because it may be the last time I do. This would all be over in two weeks.

Heartache, something I'm feeling for the first time. I haven't even lost him but the thought of his absence causes me unhappiness, suffering, distress, hurt, pain, misery, anxiety, torment, sadness, worry. You name all the emotions of sorrow and grief. I'm feeling them. I know I shouldn't have gotten attached to him, but I did anyway. I knew I shouldn't have let him break down my walls, but I let him. I know I shouldn't have fallen in love with him, but I did. I knew it would hurt when it ended, it hasn't even ended but I'm suffering emotionally.

This all my fault. I deserve this heartache, especially after lying to Kenny for so long. I deserve every emotion I'm feeling. I did this to myself. I knew falling in love with him was dangerous for my heart. I knew this would come back to bite me and I still went ahead and fell for him. No one did this to me. No one hurt me. I did, I did this to myself.

I was currently sitting on the couch in the apartment listening to the listening device that is connected to the bug I instilled in Kenny's watch. I have been listening to the microphone ever since Kenny left for work and he hasn't said anything that might lead me to where he's hidden the flash drive. It has been Kenny plotting with his co-workers about cases and missions and arrests and warrants and all the stuff I couldn't care less about.

I was about to switch off the listening device before Kenny came back from work when I heard his next words.

"Well atleast we know the name is Alexander Cooper. He has a wife, a son and a daughter."
