And I remember all my childhood dreams

I find it hard to get them out of my mind

"Childhood dreams": Seraphine

My Angel has been reassuring me several times that she is okay with what happened with Sarah but I was not.

That bitch really gets on my nerves.

That fucking disgusting kiss. If I could erase it from my memory I would do it.

I didn't lie when I said that right after kissing her I threw up. Her mouth reeked of drugs, alcohol, and something else that I do not wish to know.

This fucking mission is ending my life. Or maybe I'm just impatient because now I have something that I love more than my job.

Jack's phone number suddenly appears on my phone screen.

"Jack, man you miss me?" I joke.

"Yeah Wilder, a lot actually. Listen I found  something interesting but also disturbing."

Now he has my full attention.

"Shoot!"

"Do you remember the ridiculous name of the bank account address? The one that made no sense?"

"Yeah..."

"Well, I read it again and again only to realize that it's written backward" Jack explains, proud of himself.

"You're fucking kidding me" It can't be that easy.

"Yes, it is true. The name is actually Blue Lake House. But here is the tricky part. There are a lot of lakes in Missouri. And there could be hundreds of houses that are blue."

"Fuck! I knew it couldn't be that easy" I say it more to myself.

Hold on. KatKat. She said something about a place she went fishing with his father.

"Jack, let me call you back in a few hours. My girlfriend might know something that could help us."

"Girlfriend? As in a girl friend or a love girlfriend?" Jack asks shocked because it's the first time I say something like this.

"Cut it Jack, but to help you sleep at night it's the latter. I'll call you back later" I hung up before he could say anything more annoying.

Right after I called my Angel.

"Hey" Fuck, how I miss that sweet voice of hers.

"Good morning love" I reply smiling like a fucking teenager.

"Good morning to you too ZeZe. You missed me?"

"Fuck yeah, when did I not?" She laughs and I want nothing but to take my car and drive there to see that laugh myself.

"Baby, I know you have to go to work soon so I'll be fast. You told me once that you used to go fishing with your father when you were little. We found some clues but I wanted your help."

"Hmm, yes. My father used to take me to a lake for fishing almost every weekend."

Fuck, she might know the place.

"Baby, was that house blue?"

There is silence for a few seconds. She must be thinking. Then I hear rustling on the back.

"To be honest ZeZe I don't remember the color. I do have a photo album that I took with me from home. Let me see if we took any pictures at that place"

After a few seconds, she speaks again.

"Found it!" She yells excitedly. "But ZeZe, the lake house is not blue. I'll send you the picture maybe it helps. It's green. Now that I see it I remember my father and I joked about how the color helped with the camouflage. Ah and one more thing. I have another picture here, the house is not on it but there is the name of the lake, Longview Lake - Kansas City. My father is holding two big fishes next to the sign."

"I'll confirm it with Jack but I think we might know where he is hiding."

"Really? But it's strange ZeZe. That house lake was my uncle's. The one I told you that died on a mission. I remember my parents saying that we could no longer go there because my aunt's parents sold it. I mean I was a little back then so I could be wrong but that's what I remember. I hope it helps."

"It does love. You're helping more than you realize."

"I'm happy to hear that. Gosh, it's already late! You let me know if you find anything. Take care ZeZe."

"You too love, talk to you later"

.....

After my call with Angel, I immediately called Jack back.

"That was fast Wilder"

"I think we've got something. Check a house lake in Kansas City under the name of Robert Willson."

I hear typing for a while.

"There is one property under that name. It was registered years ago. There is another name there. Amanda Willson. Most probably his wife. And to confirm it yeah, it is Kansas City and the lake is called Longview Lake."

"Bingo!"

.....

"Boss, I request a team to spy on a location. I think we found where Derek is hiding and that woman might be there too. Also sir there is something that keeps me thinking"

"What is it, Wilder?"

"I know Robert Willson's file is classified. But there is something strange there. Derek is using his deceased brother's bank account and now he might be living in his house. There are too many things related to just ignore it. What if Robert was involved too?"

"Wilder you know that in order to get that information I have to break a rules right?"

"I know Sir but my hunch is telling me there is something there"

"Alright Wilder I'll see what I can do"

"Thank you, boss"

....

The spy team got to work right away. They confirmed Derek getting in and out of the house right away.

It was exactly the lake house KatKat described.

For days only Derek frequented the house. No one else went there.

There was a pattern though. My team took pictures each time and it seems that Derek leaves his house around the same time. At 7 am.

Then the house remains empty for hours until he comes back around 7 pm or 8 pm.

KatKat was very surprised to know that Derek still uses the house.

Her whole life is full of lies and I can tell she's trying hard to remain composed but we've got nothing but more lies.

She is very strong. If I were in her situation I would probably lose my mind.

I have to make sure that she knows that my love for her is real and I have no intention to let her go.

That's why before going to sleep I sent her a message.

Me: Baby, I want to let you know that you are very important to me. I came to stay and I'm not going anywhere. I'm here for you whenever you need me. Sleep well love 💜
