Chapter 8 - Home Search

Emily reported to Sam about her encounter with Sandra. Sam decided to keep mute about Sandra, he brought the idea of searching the Harvey's home in hope that they would find a lead. After series of strategic planning, they decided to go. They arrived at the Harvey's home in less that 30 minutes and they knocked on the door, it was opened by Ben who ushered them in. They sat down and Ben offered them water but they declined it politely, "How have you been sir?", Sam asked Ben, he replied, " I've literally been good and fine", Ben smiled. "Without your daughter?", Sam attacked and his expression changed, " I've been thinking about two things since she disappeared suddenly", Ben said and Sam replied bringing out his usual notepad and pen, "Indulge me", " Hailey's been noticing her mother giving her bad attitude because we are extremely close, Amelia has been jealous of Hailey's closeness to me. Hailey tells me lot of stuffs, even the girly ones, Hailey say them all to me rather than her mother. And the other one is that Hailey might be out of the country because I remember one time when she said she would take a vacation break from work and go to Malaysia for 6 months or so. More reason I would say she didn't go on vacation is that her company still called home when they noticed her absence at work which never happens", Ben explained. "What do you think happened to your daughter?", Sam asked Ben and he said, " Maybe she's at at friends place but she only has one friend who is Sandra and we have been to Sandra's place, she's not there. Not at her boyfriends place either. I'm lost. She's my only child and I don't want her to be abused or harassed, I don't want to think that she's kidnapped already", Ben said and tears dropped from his face but Sam was unmoved as he believes Ben could be putting up a pretense or a show. He decided to go straight to the reason they were there, "Does Hailey have a room here?", Sam asked. " Oh yes, she does", Ben said wiping his tears, "Let me lead you to her room", Ben said standing up from his seat and leading them down the hallway with Emily and Sam being at alert, Ben stopped in front of a room and opened it. Ben stepped into the room and let them have access into the room. They entered the room and wore their rubber gloves, they started looking for things that could lead them to the reason of her sudden disappearance. Emily walked to her wardrobe and started looking through it, she found several letters, she took them and kept them in a plastic bag.

Sam on the other side went to her reading table, he found several printed papers of account using Microsoft Excel, he found a file with office works, he kept them aside and saw a dark brown small book with a small inscription " My Diary", he smiled with hope that they would find something to look forward to. With that, Sam and Emily left the Harvey's home and returned to the station.
