Chapter 26: What Do You Know?

I knocked on Zander’s door and got no response. Some random girl walked by and told me, “He went out for a walk on the nature path.”

I hurried out the nature path and started walking fast.

When I found Zander, he looked like he had slept poorly like me. Even his outfit was yesterday’s clothes. Guilt hit me in the gut seeing him looking so out of place.

I remembered my news and said, “I’ve got something to tell you.”

He scoffed and said, “I don’t want to hear anything else from you. You’ve said enough last night.”

I told him, “Please just hear me out. This isn’t about last night. I found out something important.”

Zander’s face turned into interest and he asked, “What did you find out?”

“My ring’s inscription said the name Jenny on it. That was Ash’s mom.”

Understanding dawned on Zander’s face. His features turned to a look of determination.
