“Sounds good. How Long?”
“Why-I don’t know. I’ll ask and text you later.”
“Okay.”
The two girls chatted a Little while longer before saying good night to each other. After hanging up, Debbie went straight to bed. But she didn’t go right to sleep.
She suddenly thought of a question and texted Carlos.

Debbie realized she really didn’t know him.
She remembered when they Lived together. She was busy with her career and didn’t really know what he did all day. All she knew was that when she chhe’d be playing games on his phone. So she figured he was a mobile gamer.
After what happened tonight, she needed to step back and take a fresh look. This wasn’t the same Decker she used to know.
Angela’s Library
He couldn’t have changed Like that overnight.
It was probably more accurate to say that she never understood her brother. Probably, the Decker she saw tonight was who he really was.
As she was immersed in her thoughts, she received a reply from Carlos.
“He’s your brother. Not mine.”
Debbie really wanted to punch that man. ‘You jerk!’ she cussed angrily.
“Yes, he’s my brother. But we Lost contact until about 3 years ago. He didn’t even want to admit we were related at first. He finally gave in, but that was when he started treatingLike his personal ATM.” Debbie texted Carlos again, telling him the truth.
Three minutes later, Carlos replied, “He lied to you.”

“It’s not forto say. Just…look into it.”
Debbie was irritated, but she didn’t dare throw a tantrum now.
So she simply replied, “Good night.”
The next morning, she got up, stretched, and briefly considered making breakfast for Decker. But, when she poked her head inside his bedroom, he was gone.
Even the bloodstained bed sheet was gone. ‘So was it a dream?‘ she thought .
She called him, but his phone was off.
Of course, Debbie had no choice. She hired someone to investigate
Decker. She was really worried about him. ‘What’s he up to? How did he get hurt?’
