Chapter 17 – A Suspicious Woman
When Nicole and Jane left, Jake took the cell phone out of his pocket and called Echo, and he told him about what Nicole had told him. He immediately asked for help.
“Hello Echo, can you help me?” Jake asked.
“Sure, what can I do for you?” Echo asked.
“Can you find out the whole personality of Amber Gutierrez? Nicole and Jane told me something, they heard she was planning something bad. I want to know as soon as possible what they are planning.”
“All right, I will also call my acquaintances, so that I can provide the information you are requesting immediately.”
“Okay thank you!”
After they talked, Jake hung up the phone and went inside.
He tapped Tim shoulder and they simply went out and talked.
“Oh why? What are you going to say?” Tim asked.
“Do you know Amber?” Jake asked.
“Yes, isn’t she Henry’s girlfriend?”
“Tssk, I already know that, I mean about her personality. Do you know Amber, where she lives or her relative?”
“Why? Are you also interested in Amber?” Tim asked in astonishment.
“Tssk! I don’t like her! Just answer my question.” he annoyed.
“All I know is that she just transferred here to our school. I don’t know her very well, maybe Stevent knows Amber, you know him, and he has a lot of news. Why?”
“Because Nicole and Jane saw it earlier, she was talking to a man and it looked like they were planning something bad.”
“What?! Is that true?” shocked Tim said.
“Shhii, don’t make any noise.” Jake scolded.
“But does that mean they’re planning something bad on Henry?”
“That’s what we’re not sure about, if she was referring to Henry. Amber said to the person she was talking to, she wanted to retaliate. Do you know anything that Henry did to Amber or Henry did something before that I do not know?”
Tim thought before answering.
“I don’t remember what Henry did, all I know is, he used to be with gangs before, but that was a long time ago! I know, he left right away and just joined the band.”
“Is that so?” Jake sighed.
“Maybe Stevent can help us, he definitely knows that.”
“Okay, I’ll talk to Stevent too. But for now, don’t look away from Henry and don’t say what I told you.”
“Yes, all right.”
Then they entered the classroom again. He invited Stevent to buy food at the canteen. As they walked, he asked Stevent about Amber and Henry. He knew Stevent knew a lot so he immediately asked him.
“Have you met Henry before he joined the band?” Jake asked.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Yes, why?” Jake asked.
“Do you know anything Henry did before, related to Amber?”
Stevent remembers what Henry did before, but it was very secret and Henry might ruin it. Stevent fell silent.
“What, do you know anything?”
“Why do you want to know?” Stevent asked.
“Earlier, Nicole and Jane saw Amber talking to a man and it looked like they were planning something, against Henry. So I want to know the truth, if you know anything, tell me.”
“I know something but I don’t know if it’s related to Amber.” Stevent replied.
“What do you know?”
Stevent looked around first and whispered to Jake.
“Henry used to belong to a gang before. He was tempted to do bad things and shouldn’t. Then one said, they were looking for a woman, because of the ridicule of Henry’s friends he did the wrong thing.”
“Who is that woman? Do you know her? And what did Henry do?”
“That girl was Henry’s former classmate, that girl he also liked, but the woman ignored him. That night, they kidnapped the woman and took her to a secret place.”
“Then?” Jake asked curiously.
“Then, he raped that woman. In the extreme depression of what happened to her, that woman committed suicide. She jumped into the sea and never saw her body again.” Stevent explained.
“What?! Did Henry really do that?!” Jake couldn’t believe what he heard.
“Yes, it looks like they were also doing drugs at that time. So they were brave.”
“But why were Henry and his companions not imprisoned?”
“Because the woman did not speak out of sheer fear since that time, that girl did not go to school because of what happened. Then one day, she got out of the house and went straight to the sea and that, she jumped. ”
“Tssk! Wait, what has that got to do with Amber? Why does Amber want to retaliate against Henry?”
“That’s also what I don’t know. Maybe, Amber is a friend of that woman who died, so she wants revenge.” Stevent replied.
“Right, maybe that’s Amber’s friend? All right, thank you for the information you told me. By the way, don’t tell Henry what we talked about.”
“Sure, you can count on me. If you need help, I’m just here.”
“How can we tell Henry that his life is in danger of Amber?” Jake asked.
“Yes, that’s hard. Henry might not believe us and he might just make us angry.” said Stevent.
“I just thought, can’t Amber also have a plan for the events here at school?” Jake asked.
“I just can’t be sure. My news is that women are missing. It’s too vague for women, Amber will repay.”
“Who were Henry’s friends before?” Jake asked.
“I can no longer remember their names, but I know they are studying at another school and some of those who live abroad.”
“Oh okay, just like this. So look for Amber and see what she is doing now and if she is doing something strange. Then call me right away.” Jake ordered.
“Yes, I like that; I look like a secret spy!” Stevent said with a smile.
“You’re right, secret spy. So good luck!”
“Okay boss!”
Then he said goodbye to him. Jake bought food and drink and returned to the classroom.
When Jake got to the classroom, he saw Henry was still happy to talk to his other classmates. When he was seen carrying snacks and drinks they were overjoyed.
“Wow! Jake is so kind, free snacks!” screaming of them.
“Yes, Jake is so kind, not the other guy here.” said one of their classmates and they laughed.
As Henry drank soft drinks he spoke.
“Amber and I will meet later!” excited Henry said.
“Not allowed!” Jake and Tim said at the same time.
Henry surprised them. Jake and Tim looked at each other.
“Oh, why did you talk at the same time? Why, do we have a gig later?” Henry asked.
“Ah, yes we have a gig later.” said Jake and winked at Tim.
“Yes, I forgot to say, we have a gig, so you can’t talk to Amber.” Tim explained.
“Well, I’ll just send her to our gig later, which bar is that?”
“Not allowed!” Jake replied.
Henry frowned as he texted Amber, saying that they had a gig and that he would just send it to the place.
“Well, you can’t be with an outsider, it’s a private party. There’s a birthday, we’ll play.” when Jake invented it.
“Is that so? Maybe you can ask for Amber?” Henry pleaded.
“Oh, that’s not really possible. Because I was strictly told, it’s not allowed to be together with someone, because that gig is only limited to people who were invited. So, we just need to be in the band.” Tim explained.
“Okay, maybe we’ll just meet after our gig.”
The two looked at each other again and Tim just scratched his head. They still can’t stop Henry from meeting Amber.
He later called Amber and left the room.
When it came out, Tim and Jake talked again about how Henry and Amber would not meet.
“How is that, what are we going to do?” Tim asked.
“Let it be, I’ll take care of it later.” Jake replied.
While talking, someone called Jake and it came from Echo. He immediately answered it, he stood up first and approached the window.
Echo recounted all the information he had obtained about Amber.
“Hello, what’s up?” Jake asked.
“I heard that Amber Gutierrez just transferred there to your school, because she wanted to know who was responsible for her brother’s death.”
“What? Amber has a sister?”
“Yes, she has a sister, they are almost the same age, it’s April. I heard that Amber used to study in the province, with her Untie. But when she heard that her sister committed suicide, she immediately returned to the city. She is looking for people who could have caused her sister’s suicide. ”
“Why did her sister commit suicide?” Jake asked.
“She committed suicide because of what she suffered. She was raped and depressed, and then jumped into the seat, on this day her body is still not recovered. So Amber is so angry, she wants revenge for her sister’s death!”
Jake was shocked to learn about it. He has now confirmed that Amber’s revenge is about her sister being raped by Henry.
Jake rested deeply.
“Okay then, thanks for your information.”
“But my news to you is not over yet, I have something else to say and will tell you.” Echo interrupted as Jake let go.
“Huh, what other information did you find out?”
Jake asked curiously.
