Chapter 1040 A Familiar Place and Person

1040  A Familiar Place and Person

It was a peaceful night for Amy and White, and Amy was starting to think that maybe she had just been a bit paranoid the day before.

So she did her usual: ate her breakfast, checked her phone for any news and to see her morning message from Gary, and went to kiss her mother before heading out with White.

All three lived in the same apartment, and even Amy’s mother was accepting. It was like she hadn’t missed being a mother, now able to care for two girls instead of just one boy and girl.

Things were a lot easier this time as well, considering there were no finances to worry about.

Finally, the two of them were on their way to school, and Amy even had a bit more energy in her step, until White was the one to make a comment.

“That’s strange,” White said.

“What?” Amy asked.

“It just feels like no one is following us.”

Amy let out a sigh of relief. She had been worried that someone was following them, so hearing that White felt like no one was trailing them made her feel better.

“No, you don’t understand. Tyson is always following us. Like you said, I don’t know if he’s doing it because he was asked, or if it’s because he likes you, but he’s not following us now.”

“You really make him sound like some crazy stalker,” Amy replied. “Maybe he’s taking a day off from his stalking duties.”

“But he’s never taken a day off before.”

Amy didn’t know whether to be impressed that White could notice Tyson was following them or not, but it made her wonder—what was the feeling she had?

She had never felt Tyson’s presence before, so why did she think she felt something earlier? Then, just like yesterday, as they took a step forward, a man appeared from the side of the street wearing a hood.

White was quick to act, stepping in front of Amy, but when the man raised his head, it didn’t take long for Amy to recognize who it was.

“Wait, White, step back... he’s dangerous,” Amy said.

“Don’t scream, don’t shout, don’t make a scene,” Raven quickly said. “If you do, that pretty boy bodyguard of yours will lose his life.”

From what White had just said earlier, it was obvious who he was talking about. Raven had managed to get hold of Tyson somehow.

Amy was starting to remember this person well. With everything that had happened, it felt like it had all occurred a long time ago. In the past, Amy had a dear friend, a best friend she would do anything with.

Her name was Stacy. Stacy had been going out with Raven’s brother, Hawk, and had invited them to a small get-together. However, Hawk and his friends weren’t exactly the nicest people.

They took narcotics and tried to force themselves on both Amy and Stacy. At the time, it was Gary who had saved them both.

The truth was, Amy didn’t really know what happened that day with Hawk, but knowing Gary’s position and what he had become, she had a good guess at the possibilities.

Later, Amy had run into Raven himself, and the two of them had been brought to a coffee shop. They were trapped, and Raven was asking for information.

Of course, Amy wouldn’t spill anything. She didn’t want to get her brother in trouble, but in the end, it was Stacy, out of fear, who told Raven that the last person to have seen his brother was Gary.

It was these chain of events that caused Raven to search for Gary in a blind lust for revenge. Based on the type of person he was, Amy had no doubt in her mind that he had Tyson as well.

“I want to have a little talk with you both. Why don’t we stop by a coffee shop?” Raven said as he turned around with a smile and started to walk ahead.

Amy was getting ready to follow him when White grabbed her wrist.

“You don’t have to go,” White whispered. “We can contact your brother, and he can sort this out. It’s too dangerous, and we don’t know what he wants. I know you want to help Tyson, but... it’s too risky.”

Amy shook her head.

“I don’t want to drag you into this. Right now, he only wants me. White, you’re free to go, and if you want, contact Gary and the others as well…”

“But I can’t have Tyson hurt because of me, and besides, I have a feeling that Raven won’t hurt me.”

If Raven wanted to hurt Amy, he could have done the same to Tyson already. On top of that, Amy still remembered the last time they had met at a coffee shop.

He had allowed her to leave, and to this day, she never really understood why.

As Amy walked ahead, it didn’t take long before she heard footsteps behind her.

“I’m coming too,” White said. “And I’ve already contacted your brother... so let’s go into this with confidence. Both of us. It’s different from before.”

Amy smiled widely. This wasn’t like the last time when Stacy had betrayed her trust. She had a new friend by her side, one that wouldn’t betray her like the last.

Eventually, as the group continued to walk, they arrived at a small coffee shop, covered in white decorations with a flower pot on every table.

Raven sat by the window, watching the people walk past, and both Amy and White sat on the opposite side.

“This is just like back then. It looks like we’re back where we started,” Raven said. “Why don’t you remind me what happened that day?”
