SUBJECT 044 (A.D), 046 (K.M) ARRIVING

[Friday]

°°°

Currently walking together with my boyfriend, Aidan, hand in hand down the streets to his house like every Thursday, he all of a sudden stops walking.

''Did you see the news?'' Aidan suddenly asks with an empty look and I glance at him, raising one of my perfectly plugged eyebrows.

''Which ones?'' I ask back and am already annoyed by that. I mean, who cares about some boring news? No one even watches that shit anymore.

Let's be serious, in today's society where basically everyone owns a phone with Wi-fi and Google, the TV isn't really used any longer. Of course most people continue watching Netflix or something on it, but that is not the same.

Imagine this; You sit in front of your TV with your boyfriend (or girlfriend) and have to decide between your own choice on Netflix or getting forced to watch what is on right now in the regular TV.

We all know everyone would choose Netflix over that.

''About the missing teenagers.'' Aidan pulls his phone out, and scrolls through it.

Oh, right. We are at the News again.

I have to add, that I actually don't really care.

''Who-?'' I begin but he already shows me a picture of the site and I gulp heavily.

Fuck.

•Missing:

Please call the local police if you have seen them.

|-Parker Heegan,

|-Jaden Mack,

|-Finnegan Grayson,

|-Ethan Reyes,

|-Will Newman,

|-Leah Gibson,

|-Caleb Maxwell,

|-Lydia Maxwell.

''What?! No! That's not true!'' I shake my head and grab after my own phone. Not believing that Leah is actually missing.

~Leah~

''Kate- she's missing, she won't answ--'' My boyfriend begins but my thread breaks.

''Shut the fuck up!'' I yell shakily and roll my eyes at him.

He just sighs as a reply and suddenly tries to hug me, but I push him away angrily.

This is not the time for a hug! My feelings are going wild right now and the certainty Leah is alright is still missing. Together with her.

''I have to find Leah now! See ya, asshole.'' I fastly begin to walk down the streets, but Aidan keeps running after me and I have to bite my lip roughly, so that I won't scream at him.

''I'm sorry, but look. There are eight teenagers missing and no one saw anything from them. I don't want you to get lost too.'' Aidan speaks calmly and carefully but I just shake my head again.

''She's just messing with us, all of 'em are.'' I try to give myself the hope I need, but my voice is already shaking a little and breaks at the end of the sentence.

''It's okay, Kaitlyn. Finnegan is my best friend too, did you forget that? I can't just forget him and leave it like that..and so will it be with you about Leah. I'm sure.'' My boyfriend nods like he is agreeing with himself and I scoff.

Is that his serious?

''You don't look like you really care, so no. I will go searching now.'' I nearly run down the streets and don't turn my back around at all. Not even when I hear a weird noise, which sounds like a muffled scream behind me.

The fear that actually something could be terribly wrong is high and feels like shivers going down my spine, but I still just hurry more and more away.

●●●

We have to get the girl fastly.

We will try the plan you already worked on, let's hope it will work.

I speed up a little, having the feeling of being watched in my back, and arrive soon at Leah's house. Because of what I forget how to breathe for a small moment.

The door is wide opened, and a police car is standing in the drive away.

Those fancy peeling tape things around the entire house.

I go inside and see how Maddison is already there. They nervously standing next to Leah's parents, which are obviously crying.

Not a second later, I feel my 'allergies' coming back up in my eyes.

''Oh my god. Kaitlyn!'' Maddy, how we call them,(they are Non binary, if you remember) wave at me and I walk over. Seeing, how they are folding one of the dozen missing paper, which are already lying around scattered.

''Any clue where she is..?'' I ask silently, and am suddenly not that confident like usually anymore the moment Maddy shakes their head disappointingly.

''Sadly not. It doesn't even look like she was here.'' They sigh, and I glance around.

My view stops at Mrs. Gibson, and I decide to be kind for at least a short moment.

''Hello, can I- we do anything to help?'' I ask politely and the women hands me and Maddison some missing paper over.

''I would appreciate it, if you two could hang them outside on walls or anything.'' She smiles weakly when we take them.

''We will find her.'' Maddy beams slightly back and we step outside again, heading towards the middle of the town.

''Here!'' Maddison points at a wall on the corner of the street, and we go there for putting some of the posters up.

When we are finished, both of us look at our work and I try to get every single detail into my mind.

''Did you hear that?'' My company suddenly asks and I raise an eyebrow, looking at them in confusion.

''No?''

''I thought there was something.. well, maybe not.''

I turn around and scan the area around us. Without any luck.

''You are paranoid.'' I say coldly, before I begin to walk again until I suddenly hear Maddison yelling.

''Get-- off me!'' They scream in fear, and I catch a small glimpse, but a hat or something gets put over my head fastly.

''Argh!'' I muffle weakly and already feel a sharp pain in my arm, before I fall to the ground.

Then everything is just black.

●●●

This worked out very well!

Good job!

We catched not one, not two, THREE people!

Now only two people left.

Let's get them fastly.
