Chapter two

Kara's POV:

Today, me and Lena will start our investigation, i just hope, Lena will not be very mad about me going to her office. Yes, okay, i am going to L-Corp with big belly burger. I know she loves it. Well she of course i know she loves it, i was her best friend for Rao's sake. Elevator goes up. When i go out on Lenas floor, i see Jess sitting by her desk, writing something, I haven't seen Her for a long time now.

"Hey Jess! How are you?" She whipped her head very fast, i even heard a crack.

"Miss Danvers! Oh my god, it's so good to see you, I'm glad you came, we haven't seen each other a while" Jess was happy to see me, i guess that's the impression i make on people, except one. Okay Kara stop it.

"You too Jess, you too" i smiled

"I know it's none of my business, but ever since you and Lena had a fight, she is very stressed and unhappy, she doesn't eat. She was a lot better when you two were together" the word together hit me like a bus, and I couldn't hide my blush. Me and Lena? Together? Like together together? No way. Not in that way. Why did Jess thought we were together, that's unimaginable.

"To-together?, n-no Jess, we weren't together" i could see she felt very embarrassed, like me, for that moment

"Oh...I thought, sorry" she got very uncomfortable "anyways, Miss Luthor's in the office. You can go in" Jess started writing again.

"Okay thanks Jess" i took a breath, here goes nothing. I opened the door and saw Lena sitting on a chair, wearing black pencil dress, her hair down, focused on papers. She looked like a goddess. Ugh Kara why won't you stop doing that? She's your friend. I mean Ex-Friend. That still hurts. When she heard the door crack, Lena looked up from her work. Clearly not amused, someone stopped her from doing it.

"Miss Danvers" click. Something clicked in me. My heart just dropped. I feel like Lena is stranger to me, it's like the second time we met, just with coldness in her voice.

"Lena, please, if we will work together, just please, call me Kara" i begged, she rolled her eyes. Oh i have food, i forgot about that. I showed her big belly burger.

"I thought you could use something to eat" i smiled and handed her the bag,

"Stop being nice Kara, you don't have to bring me food and act like nothing happened , we just work okay. So let's focus on finding Alyssa Blake." She hissed, it cost every muscle in me to respond

"Yes, as you wish Lena"

"Good, now what do we know about her?"

"We know nothing, we just know her name , that she is Miss Grants old friend, oh and she was going to Fiji but didn't show up" i tried to remember every detail what we knew. "First, i Think we need to check her old address, If she had a Job, and question her friends." Lena seemed to be accepting suggestion. Until she said

"We don't have anyone to check that"

"Oh i know a brilliant person, who can help us"

———————————————————

"Now, wait a minute. You want me, to hack into NCPD and get research on someone named Alyssa Blake?" Wide eyed Winn asked

"Yeah, pleaseee? It's really important" He arched eyebrow at Lena, who was standing there with her arms crossed

"What is she doing here? Did you two make up?" If that could be true, i wish. But before i could respond Lena said

"No, we just work together." again, I cannot stop feeling hurt.

"Okay I'll do it." I smiled brightly,"But with only one condition" he stated

"Anything!"

———————————————————-

Giving Winn tickets to Comic-Con wasn't easy thing. Lena and I are now sitting in her office, on the couch. Looking at the papers Winn gave us. There was nothing on her. Not even the parking ticket. But if we are looking at the bright side, we got her home address, Yay. In police's documents, there wasn't her phone number, nor family tree, or something like that. Miss Blake, or Mrs. Blake didn't want to be known, And Lena? Well Lena looked so focused in looking at the papers, her brows furrowed, her hair now up, eating big belly burger, pencil behind her ear.

"You're staring" she told me without looking up, oops. I haven't noticed it. Lena got up handing me the papers.

"Let's go check the address."

———————————————————This is unbelievable, the address took us to some abandoned building with nothing near it, except little market in the corner. She didn't live here anymore. I doubt anyone lived here.

"Excuse me?" I heard Lena ask the Man who worked in the market

"Yes Mam?" The man was short, hairy, little fat, and with mustache. His cheeks were red-ish? Wearing brown vest and white t-shirt. On his name tag was written Henry

"Do you know anyone named Alyssa Blake? Lena asked curious

"Alyssa Blake?" Henry scratched his head"No i don't know any of my costumers name"

"Tall, black haired woman with bangs, has green eyes, dimples? She was living somewhere near here" i heard myself asking. Miss Grant gave us picture of her, that's why i knew how she looked like.

"Ah yes, she was visiting us everyday, on morning. But if I remember correctly, she hasn't showed up for 3 weeks now. She was my best costumer" Henry smiled

"Did you know where she lived?" Lena arched an eyebrow, that question seemed to surprise henry

"How would i know? I don't ask my costumers where they live"

"Look Mr...?"

"Doss, Henry Doss"

"Mr. Doss, that innocent woman went missing, if you will do us good and say everything you know about her, it will help" Henry looked scared, and shocked

"She went missing? Oh, that's very bad, but really i know nothing about her. But, my cousin Xuan Doss knows everyone in this district. You could ask him. Here's his address" he started writing on sticky note"Tell him that i sent you, he will be happy to help" he smiled again and gave us the note.

Now all we have to do is to talk to this Xuan Doss, hm his name sounds familiar.
