(JACE)
Have you ever searched so hard to the point that you almost gave up? Well, I have and I will tell you this, sometimes the reward is good, and sometimes it is just no worth it.
I was currently walking back to my apartment after I had just finished work. For whatever reason, the classes were longer today, and the paper stacks were larger than normal. And as I was about to open the door, I got a call from the police station.
"Hello, is this Jace?"
"Yes, how may I help you?"
"Well, since you came with that piece of evidence, we have been tracking the movement of every vehicle around the country. we noticed that the same day another story was published on that account, pair of people who left California. Now, this won't have been suspicious to us, if the governor hadn't passed a law grounding people, refraining them from traveling with that company due to the recent crash incident. Therefore, we were made to assume that the pair leaving the state was your girlfriend and the person who kidnapped her."
I was quiet as I let this new information sink in. Many emotions were washing over me. Happiness, relief, anger, sadness, and all the others. "Wait, where were they heading?"
"Well, so far we can only tell the plane that they got on. But it is hard to say for sure where they got off since the plane has multiple stops, we can clarify that they didn't stay on the plane till the end of their ride. We have all our men at the airport trying to get more information from the airport attendances, while a couple of our men try and track where they originally had been staying.
"How long will that take?"
"Well, it will take a while before we can find them, they might have already been gone and covered up their tracks, which will make things harder for us." I can't believe they would waste such precious time like this. What if they get away again?
"So why didn't you go after them the minute you noticed it? Why are you wasting your time calling me when you could be looking for her!!"
"Please calm down sir, although we have all these clues, going after them would be useless. We don't know what she looks like and the pictures we were given we really old, you of all people know what she looks like. So it would be better if you came along with us."
I thought about it for a minute, he is right, they would be able o find her faster if I came, but what about work and my family. I can't just disappear without telling them where I am. But this was more important. Mave was more important.
"Okay, I will come with you guys, how fast are we leaving."
"Tomorrow the latest since we would be able to have more men on duty. Please get yourself ready and send your address, we will come to pick you up at 9 am."
"Okay, thank you so much."
"Any time sir, have a good night."
"Goodnight, bye."
I took a deep breath as I looked into the sky. We were finally getting somewhere. If we had just taken the right steps sooner, she would have been found by now. Whatever I just hope she is safe. I quickly opened the door to my apartment and stepped in. The question that remains unanswered is who kidnapped her, and just how dangerous are they? What is their anterior motive? Mave tries her best to avoid making enemies, which is why there are a limited amount of people I can think of. Maybe writing a list of people would help me think. I could also give it to the police, maybe they could help me narrow down the options, which would help us to find Mave faster.
People who would want to hurt Mave:
-Her high school best friend(jealous of her since 6th grade)
-Her dad(from what I've been told, he feels that it was her fault her mother died, and thinks she is a disappointment and should be dead.)
-Her ex(thinks that he did nothing wrong after cheating on her, claims it was her sister who was at fault.)
-Her brother(hates her because he felt she looked like their father who used to abuse them as children before leaving.).
I looked at the list I made and thought to see if I had missed anyone. No, I hadn't, at least I hope not! I set out my clothes to wear for tomorrow after I finished packing for the long trip. As I finally laid on the bed, I let out a big sigh I didn't know I had been holding. All I could think about was Mave. If there really is a God out there, please protect her, let Mave be okay. And with these last thoughts, I fell asleep.
SOMEWHERE IN ANOTHER STATE
If I wasn't scared before, then I was now. For the last hours or so, I have been constantly and aimlessly dragged by Mike. We haven't stopped walking since we got off the plane somewhere in the middle of its destination stops. Mike must have gotten tired because he then suddenly stops, and looks around. Seeing a car parked on the side of the road, he walked across and breaks the driver's seat window. Like always luck was not on my side, because for whatever goddamn reason, the owner of the car left his keys inside it. I looked around, hoping that maybe I could use something as a distraction to get away, but then I remembered. I don't know where we are. I don't have any money, food. Nothing. So reluctantly I got into the car, and we were off. As we got deeper into the city, I noticed that we were getting closer to a parade that seemed to be going on. But I couldn't enjoy it, all I could think about was how tired I was. I am tired, hungry, and felt so empty. All I wanted was to go home, I wanted to see Jace. I hate this, I hate all of this. Please, someone, help me. Please hurry up and find me. I don't know how much longer I can hold out before I give in. Please hurry and find me.
