"I need to find her and explain things to her…,"
"And that's exactly what you will do but before that, you need to calm down ok?" Amos said meekly. He let go of her hand, he turned and hold her shoulders instead.
"For us to do that you need to be in your right frame of mind because you are the one who is gonna lead us to where you ladies always hang out," He gave a gentle squeeze to her shoulders while staring into her eyeballs.
His words worked magic because as soon as he said these words her struggling stopped.
Her tensed face eased up a bit.
He slowly lead her to the couch and made her sit down. He made sure she was a bit calm before they talked about their next plans.
After leaving the apartment Joanna directed Amos to some of the places she and Audrey normally hung out.
Despite searching all these places for hours they didn't see any traces of Audrey not to mention her shadow.
Amos sitting on the brown bench in a quiet field lean his back against the arm of the bench.
"If she is not in any of the places you took us to then where on Earth could she have been?" Amos muttered his gaze focused on the lady who was gasping.
Listening to Amos' words made Joanna's brain immediately get to work. Her brain started analysing the places they have been to.
After two minutes her eyes widened like she had remembered vital information they had missed.
"How could I forget the most important place," Joanna said, jumping to her feet.
A bit of life returned to her once lifeless face.
"And where is that?" Amos demanded sternly.
"Her parents' home," Joanna said smiling. She could see a glimmer of hope despite that things were full of uncertainty.
"Didn't you say she and her parents were on bad terms…,"
"That was all in the past," Joanna replied. She bent and grabbed his hand lying on the bench's arm.
"Let's go," She muttered and pulled him along with her.
As they made their way to Audrey's home, there was so much hope in Joanna's heart. But that hope soon got dashed the instant she reached the huge gate of the Lopez family.
When the security guards at the gate refused to let Amos' car into the house Joanna had assumed that maybe the security got tightened because of the incident that occurred not long ago.
But her assumptions soon got proved wrong after the security guards started talking.
"Nat, I am here to see your Young Miss, is she in?" Joanna standing in front of the magnificent gate questioned one of the guards with which she was very familiar.
There was hesitation on Nat's face as he took a step backwards. "I don't know," he replied without looking at her face as he talked.
His reply and attitude didn't go down well with Amos. "Your duty post is the gate. All of you oversee those who entered and exits the house so how could you say you don't know whether your Young Miss is in or not?" Amos snarled, his fierce glares directed at Nat.
"Is that how you do your job and how dare you to speak to her using that tone? Was that how you were taught to address your visitors?" Amos demanded.
He ignores the signals given by the lady by his side for him not to pursue the issue further.
To her entering Audrey's home was more important to her than anything but to him protecting her dignity was the most important.
"And who are you to teach me my duties…"
"Hey!" Joanna shouted, her deadly glares concentrated on Nat. "You don't talk to him like that ok?" Joanna said coldly as she stared at the three guards at the gate with her chill gaze.
"I can tolerate you disrespectfully speaking to me but never should you use that tone and expression on him," Joanna warned sternly.
"I swear I will do more than just talking the next time you disrespect him in any way," Joanna said.
Although the guards had known her for a long time, the one speaking to them right now felt like a stranger.
Her cold voice didn't only send chills down their spine but they carried something in it which makes anyone who listens to it trembled.
The one who just talked to them was nowhere close to that sweet Young Miss who always smiled and talked to them politely each time she dropped by.
Joanna was too furious to care about the way the guards stared at her like she were a stranger.
"Let's get out of here," Joanna retorted. She grabbed his hand and lead him to where they parked the car not far away from the gate.
"Since they won't let us in I will just call Drey to come down and get us. Let's see whether they will keep up this proud attitude of theirs after Audrey comes downstairs," Joanna mumbled in annoyance.
She was about to reach out her hand to open the door but Amos beats her to open the door first.
She diverted her piercing glares at him after what he did. "I thought I have prohibited you from opening the car's door for me…,"
"Yeah, you did but I don't recall agreeing to that," He said shrugging his shoulders. He strolled to the other side of the car, leaving the speechless and angry Joanna to gaze at his back.
She had no other choice but to enter the car since he had already opened the door of the car for her.
Inside the car, Amos fiddled with the steering wheel pretending as though he didn't see her fierce glares which were directed at him.
Two minutes passed and she didn't do any other thing apart from glaring at him.
At last, he turned to look at her when he couldn't handle her burning gaze anymore.
"Are you aware that I won't grow ugly even though you stare at me like that?... Instead, I will become more handsome…,"
"You…," Amos grabbed her, outstretched her and pulled it so that it was resting on his chest.
