"You took me to your department."I stated in disbelief.
"Is that a problem?"he inquired taking out an identity card from his pocket and sliding it into the computerized lock on the door.
The door slid open immediately to reveal a room filled with computers and agents.
"No.I just thought only agents are allowed in here."I answered honestly.
"Well you're right.Only agents are allowed in here."a third voice said behind us.
I turned on my heals to see a pretty blond around my age,probably a little older..She looked at me with curiosity in her eyes,along with something else I couldn't quite catch onto.
"Who is she?"the young lady asked John.
"Rosella Patterson."he answered not even bothering to spare her a look as he was too busy on his phone.
"What is she doing here?"
"Apparently you haven't been updated on our newest lead to the kidnapping."John stated calmly but it was quite obvious the girl was testing his patience.
Totally ignoring her he motioned for me to follow him.
Everyone looked extremely busy with whatever they were doing but there were a few who looked up as we walked past their desks.
"John,aren't you supposed to be out on dut-"a guy with huge glasses started talking but stopped upon seeing me.
"Ian ,meet Rosella Patterson."John said introducing me to him.
The man smiled at me."It’s nice to meet you Rosella."
I nodded and returned his smile."It’s nice to meet you to."
"Alright so what new information do you have for me?"John inquired.
Ian searched through some files on his desk."It's here somewhere."he stated pulling open a draw."I found some interesting stuff while looking through Patrick's background."
"What did you find?"
He rose up from the desk and walked over to the huge touch screen in front of us."Patrick Rodriz ,the person who was shot and killed while you were with Rosella happens to belong to one of the missing person's list in 2002.According to reports he was abducted one day while walking home from school and never seen again."he explained pulling up pictures on the screen.
"You mean to say that the boy who was kidnapped turned out to be a criminal in the end? Kidnapping young girls?"John asked."Did his kidnapping cause this kind of behavior or could he have been working for the persons who had kidnapped him."
"I have no idea but right now the only way we can get closer to finding those kidnappers is by reopening Rodriz's case."Ian answered.
"Did you say reopen the case?Why did they close the case?"John accused.
"All the evidence showed that the kid was dead but as we can see now he was in fact alive."
John nodded."Send the address of his guardians to my phone.I'll go pay them a visit."
"What about me?"I asked grabbing his hand as he headed for the door.
John looked at my hands on his and narrowed his eyes at me.
Jeeez- did he have something against physical contact?
I pulled away immediately.
"Stay here."he ordered.
"What!"I exclaimed."I can't stay here.I don't know anyone."
"Look, I have to find those people and I can't do this right with you by my side."
"But I want to go with you."I protested.
John sighed."It isn't safe for me to be taking you everywhere with me like that.Try to understand."
Why was I being stubborn about this?Why didn't I want him to go alone?
"As far as I know you were assigned to be my bodyguard not leave me behind."I pointed out.
He let out an exasperated breath
."I didn't ask to be your bodyguard."he almost shouted.
I blinked twice trying to stop the tears that threatened to fall at his harsh words.
I didn't bother to say anything else to him,picking up my purse from the desk behind me I pushed past him and ran out the door.
I heard him call me as I descended down the stairs but I didn't bother to stop.
If he didn't want to be my bodyguard then he didn't have to!
I was more angry at myself than I was at him however.I hated my reaction to his words,I barely knew him and his words affected me so much.
I had never reacted like this to any guy before and I didn't like this feeling at all.
Luckily there was a taxi already waiting downstairs.
Before I could get in however someone grabbed me from behind and spun me around so that my chest was slammed into his.
I looked up and my eyes widened in shock-John.
Angry deep blue eyes stared back at me.
"Let me go!"I said trying to push him away.
His arms tightened around me.
"Are you insane!"he exclaimed angrily.
Why was he so angry?
"Excuse me?"I asked in shock.
"Where do you think you were going?"he demanded."Do you not realise that your life is in danger."
"I don't see why that is bothering you.You don't want to be my bodyguard so I'm just letting you off your duties."I replied bitterly.
He narrowed his eyes at me."I never said that I didn't want to be your bodyguard."
I didn't reply just stared back at him angrily.
He let go off me and squeezed his eye shot before grabbing my hands and pulling me towards his car.
"Where are you taking me?"I asked.
He opened the car door."Get in."
I did as he said and waited for him to get in also.
"Where are you taking me?"I repeated.
"We're going to see Patrick's parents."he answered starting the engine.
