36 Ms. Yuka Koch (1/2)
”Yuka Koch. She and her friend Katie Hopkins were attacked about two weeks ago at a convenience store not far from here. Katie was a high step, so she was able to make an opportunity for Yuka to get away, but not herself. Katie's been missing ever since. I picked it out because I thought it sounded really similar to what happened to you and Cassidy. It was reported to the police, but it got brushed under the rug, like most things that involve Ebony do.” Alec frowned down at his notepad before looking up at the luxury house that stood before them.
”Man though, she sure is loaded.” Waze whistled looking at the property.
”Her dad owns a car company. I called and told them what happened to you and Cassidy, and that we were looking for information. They should be expecting us.”
”They did let us in at the gate, which I was a bit surprised about.” Waze had never really been in a upscale neighborhood like this before.
”I would hope so, they know we're coming. Yuka's supposed really shaken up about the event, so let's be careful with our words. Hopefully we can find out some valuable information.” Alec looked at Waze and they both nodded.
”Let's do this.”
Alec had split the group up into pairs, and of course Waze and him were together as a team. They had taken the bus as far as they could to a gated community up on the north side town. Apparently the Yuka girl had been at a sleepover at Katie Hopkins's house and they were attacked when they were on at the store. Since Yuka's family is so wealthy, they'd been able to afford protection for the young girl. And now, Alec and Waze were off to interview Yuka on what she had seen that night, and cross reference it with Waze's account.
Waze knocked loudly on the door and took a step back, waiting for an answer. She fiddled with the hem of her shirt as she waited, Alec looking equally nervous. It was a sensitive topic, and they had to be careful not to upset Yuka or they'd lose one of their best sources of information. The large door creaked open and a man in a three piece suit peeked out.
”Ah, you must be Mr. Alec, I assume.” The man gave Waze and Alec a polite smile.
”Yes, that's me. This is my friend Waze, she's the one I was talking about over the phone.” Waze waved awkwardly and muttered a 'nice to meet you'.
”I'm Mack, Ms. Yuka's butler and bodyguard.” Waze was slightly surprised at that, people like this actually existed. Though, Waze guessed it wasn't all that surprising that the girl should have a bodyguard after what had happened a couple weeks prior.
”Please, come inside. I'll go tell Ms. Yuka you are here.” The man opened the door and waited for Alec and Waze to enter before closing it behind them. He swiftly walked off down a hallway near the entrance, leaving Waze and Alec standing awkwardly in front of the door.
”I guess we'll just... wait here?” Waze looked at Alec with a confused expression but he looked the same, merely giving Waze a small nod.
