Chapter 248 Wheres The Children? (1/2)

The darkness was fast approaching, Jessy was on her 3rd blood transfusion for the day. While lying in the clinic bed, she was reading Virgie's address information from the index card. She had to visit the place first...

Two hours later.

Jessy went back to her room. Adam would arrive later at midnight.

She lies down in the bed and was contemplating to visit the city, ride a taxi and give the address to the driver and just check out the area where Virgie was living. She read the index card again, Virgie had written her parent's name...Martina and Rudy, and the children's name Duane and Doyle.

She glanced at the wall clock, she still has two hours break. She got up from the bed and went to the closet then took her pink polo shirt, blue jeans, black canvas shoes, and her black leather jacket. Then she picked up her sling bag with the paper bills inside, she put Virgie's index card inside as well.

She teleported into the city.

A moment later.

Jessy emerges from the dark alley and after walking for a few minutes, she entered the nearest store that sells men's clothing, she brought a baseball cap and wore it over her head when she exited the store. She strolled into the busy street and hired a taxi cab and gave the address to the driver.

According to Virgie's information on the index card, she has been in captivity for more than a year already. She was wondering what happened to Virgie's parents and her children when the sole breadwinner provider was gone for more than a year?

They must be having a hard time, poor children!

She sighed.

The travel lasted for forty-five minutes. The taxi brought her to a slum neighborhood where poverty was prevalent. Some of the houses and buildings were dilapidated, the majority of the buildings and structures in the area were badly needed repairs.

She got out of the taxi and paid her fare. ”Keep the change, Grandpa!” she said to the driver.

The driver smiled at the young woman feeling grateful for her generosity.

She saw a bakery nearby, she sauntered towards the store and brought some delicious muffins, sliced bread, and peanut butter. She asked the saleslady where is the Apple St. and where's the Jones Apartment was located, that is where Virgie's family was residing.

The saleslady was adept in giving directions and she found the Jones Apartment quickly on the next block. She saw a man in front of the apartment. She hurried to him and ask if he knows a certain Martina and Rudy living in the apartment.

The man pointed at the pathway leading to the back of the apartment. ”They weren't able to pay the rent for a few months when their daughter suddenly disappeared so the owner of the apartment transferred them at the house at the back of the apartment so that they can continue living in this neighborhood without pay.”

”Thank you, Sir!” Jessy said.

She walked towards the path leading to the back of the apartment. There she saw a small dilapidated house, an old woman in her early 70's emerged from the door holding a laundry basket in both hands.

”Hello Ma'am, are you Martina? Virgie's mother?” she asked directly.

”Y-yes...I am,” the old woman responded.

”I'm Virgie's friend, we work in the grocery store together before she disappeared, I'm here to ask if she already return or she already had been found?” Jessy asked. She handed the bag which contains pastries to the woman. ”Here, just a small present from me, for you and the kids...”
