"Where's Hailey?", Amelia asked with concern written all over her face. " Its been four days she came home last", she said to Ben with a heavy heart.
"We should report this to the police before its too late", she said with tears in her eyes. " Its too early to involve the police or anything", "Are you serious about this?", Amelia asked with disbelief written all over face, she continued,
"I can't believe you just said that, I'm so disappointed in you", she said and cried out. Ben who started feeling a bit of guilt then walked over to his wife and consoled her, he wrapped her close to himself and said, " Let's wait a few more days and if she doesn't come home then we'll report to the police", he asked, "Okay?", with that Amelia nodded and wiped her tears away.
"You could have said that but the effect of you losing from each bet got you saying trash", she said as she was still pissed with what her husband said.
"I already explained what I meant to you, woman", he said with exasperation. " Whatever man", Amelia said and walked to the counter to grab her phone. "I need to start contacting her friend and boyfriend, at least one must know where she is", she starts typing into her phone but it was grabbed almost immediately by Ben and smashed on the wall,
"Hailey's a freaking adult and she can handle herself so damn good!", Ben screamed into Amelia's ear, he continued, "Its what you do to her every freaking time that keeps her away from home, give some peace to this adult baby!". " I don't understand why you keep putting fear in her heart for you!", Ben spat out with annoyance. "I was only doing that for her safety because she's a girl child and my only precious gem for Christ sake", she cried again. " Its why she left home for good", Ben said
"Left home for good you say?", Amelia questioned Ben. " Talk to me, Ben, where's our daughter?!!?". "All I know is that if she doesn't come home in four days, then you should report her missing...okay?", then Ben left the house. " You're mean!!!", she screamed after him but that didn't bring him back. "I pray nothing really happens to my Hailey", she sat on cushion depressed. " Now, I need to get a new phone", she gets up, "Hailey should have some change in her room", she entered her room and searched her daughter's belongings and found a bundle of cash, she gave a sinister smile and turned to leave the room, she stumbled upon Hailey's dairy but was too occupied with money with her and left the room.
TWO DAYS LATER
Amelia got a new phone and contacted Sandra Moore, who is Hailey's best friend since they were five. " Hello Sandra", Amelia said into the phone when Sandra picked up. "Hi mum", Sandra replied happily. After exchanging pleasantries, Amelia asked, " Have you heard from Hailey?", "Hailey?", Sandra asked and all of a sudden the call went off, Amelia tried calling again but to no avail. She decided to call Fred Steph and he picked on the first ring, " Good day ma'am", without further greetings as she was getting worried already, "Have you heard from Hailey?", she asked. " I was about calling you and asking you the same question too", after talking for a while, she dropped the call. "Where's my daughter?", she screamed out.
