After realizing that my father might be an accomplice, I made up my mind. As Diane said, anyone who did wrong must be punished. Though, he did nothing to me but I had a sense that in one way or the other, he might not be involved. Maybe he was not, maybe he was just a drug dealer. Well, those instincts were difficult to trust until there were enough proof. I decided to prove my father's innocence by proceeding with the revenge plan with her. My father might be a nuisance but he just could not be involved in murder just like that, and also, he was in jail when Diane's mother died. I tried so hard to make myself believe that it was all a coincidence. There was not a strong connection involved.

As I went downstairs for breakfast, I collided with her. Her face looked pale and tired. I decided to ignore her and go have my breakfast but she stopped me.

"I am going to that company. Mr. Thomas called and threatened over the phone again. I have to pretend to return the document to see what they all look like, what their weaknesses are, and what their deal is. So, don't stop me. It won't help you. I will be gone for some weeks. If I don't return, you can inform the cops. "She said. It was like she was saying her final goodbye. But she did not carry along any luggage, she looked like she was going to cause a scene over there. But, she was just fifteen. How could she cope in front of strong able bodies in their forties and fifties?

"What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean weeks? I understand that you are so provoked right now and you really want to see their faces but how can you say such a thing? Why will something happen to you?" I asked. Instead of staying serious, she smirked.

"I am provoked, you are right. I am not going there to create peace, I am going there for war. I am not handling over the documents, so what do you expect them to do? Let me go just for peace sake? Come on, they can't do that. Of course, I will be beaten up. The worst they can do is to kill me, but the truth is I am also more like a psychopath. Not a group of people can mess with me. "She explained and walked away. She sounded very confident and I admired her for that. Seeing as she was ready to get beaten, I decided to let her go. It would not help if I stopped her anyway. It was her revenge and it was only right for me to let her do what she wants. I did not know how much threats she received, but I knew that it was quite much. As I watched her leave, Lily came to me.

"What has happened? Where is Diane going to?" She asked. I looked for the perfect excuse to give to her but could not find one.

"I don't know. I read a book about girls in their puberty and I realized this is how they behave. "I replied. Honestly, I never read such a book.

"Are you kidding me? I was also a girl and I went through puberty, what do you mean girls?" She asked me with an annoying look. I smiled and went for breakfast. I really did care about what she was going to do when she got there.

Weeks passed but it looked like decades. When my mother asked me why she left, I just told her she had business. Of course, my mother would be happy. She had always wanted her to leave. Like, she was tired of using her money to get food. Then that Diane left, my mother proceeded into dumplings.

After some weeks, I became very concerned. I had no other choice than to go to the company. I did not make a plan. What was there in my mind was to help Diane. Lily noticed how I behaved and came up to me the day I decided to make a move.

"Diane is missing, right?" She asked. Actually, she should not have used the word ' missing ', but yes, missing.

"You are right. She went to confront those that had been threatening her. Though it is her fault that they are threatening her now. But, she is in real danger. "I replied.

"I don't understand. Threats? Why would people threaten her?"

"Trev Electronics. Diane has one thing that could bring them down. So, they are threatening her. "I replied. At the mention of Trev Electronics, Lily's face changed. It seemed she was really surprised to hear that the company would do such a thing. I told her all those but I was unable to give her the full details. Even though she asked me to calm down that Diane would be fine, I was restless. I had to force her to escort me to the company.

"We are so sorry but you can't enter the building if you are not a member or you don't have any appointments with us. I would like you to return to where you are coming from. "One of their guards said.

"I have a card to enter." Lily said. I was shocked. How on earth did she have a pass card? Fortunately, we entered. It only would take a matter of time to find Diane.

"Wait here. I am going to look for her. Don't move at all. "Lily ordered. I did not seem to get a grip of how she was going to find her but I believed her. I went ahead to wait at the lobby. It did not look like an electronic company at all. Maybe it was not, maybe the name was just to cover up their secrets. I waited patiently like a heeding dog praying to myself for good luck.
