Many Possibilities

   Vivian was the first to wake up and she had a blush creeping up on her face when she saw the sleeping handsome by her side.

  She can't believe how peaceful she has slept throughout the night, to the extent of waking up so late.

  She checked the wall clock and it was almost 9 in the morning.

  "That's first"

I muttered and snuggled closer to David.

"What's first?"

David asked, opening her eyes. She had not realized he was awake.

  "Nothing, I was saying first time for me to sleep so late into the morning"

 He smiled at her reply and nozzled his nose on her cheek.

  "There is a first time for everything."

He said raising little, using his elbow to support himself"good morning beautiful"

  "Morning David"

She replied and stood up instantly. David was surprised at why she had to stand up like she was being chased.

  "Don't look at me like that, I need to go to work. I don't have all day"

"Oh"

Was all David could say as he struggled to his feet"I totally forgot that you work, unlike some of us, who just sit at home and press their phone"

  Vivian laughed at how silly he was sounding.

  "If I don't know any better, I would believe this pity story of yours. Anyway, I had a wonderful night. Thank you so much"

  David nodded, walked to her and kissed her forehead. He packed all that he came in with last night and left after wishing Vivian a beautiful morning.

  Vivian walked him to the door and ran back inside immediately to get ready for work. She has no one working for her. And for a few days she has not been at her boutique and her business will suffer if she continues to skip going to work.

*******

    Thomas drove into the police station and killed his engine," this is it, man"

He muttered getting down, Zain followed him as they walked through the station. 

  They got to the front desk and realized how busy everyone seemed. It looks like there is more crime going on than they expected.

  An officer beckoned on them to come closer.

  Zain was right there in the front desk before the man could finish his statement.

  "Sir, how may we help you"

The officer asked politely which surprised Zain and Thomas exchaled glances with him.

  "I know that look and I get it a lot of time, State your complaint please"

Zain nodded and proceeded to making a complaint,

"My girlfriend is missing"

He stated and the officer was already on his pad, writing as zain talks

"When was the last time you saw her?"

The officer asked, looking up at him.

  "Yesterday evening. She has left to get groceries and ever since then she is not back"

  The officer nodded then pause,

"Does she have friends around?"

Zain needed not to think before answering but on second thought, he wanted to mention Lucas but that would be obscured so he shook his head.

  "Okay, do you know anyone who might have had an issue with her?"

"Not anyone I will think of. She is new in this town and she is not a troublemaker"

The officer nodded at what he said and noted it down.

  "I will need you to meet Officer James over their to describe your girlfriend to him, after that we will take it from there"

  Zain and Thomas thanked the officer then walked towards the officer they had been referred to.

     30 minutes later, they were back at Thomas's van, both sighing and cursing. Zain had needed not to describe Jenny when he had her picture on his phone so he gave them a picture instead. He had asked himself who would describe people in this century when a picture can easily be given.

  "So what's next?"

Thomas's voice brought him back to reality.

  "That's getting to my car, we might get something from it. While the police search, we search too. I don't believe she has gone missing but why anyone would want to kidnap her is what I don't know"

Thomas thought about the possibility and concluded that there are many possibilities.

   "Do you suspect anyone at all?"

Thomas suddenly asked and Lucas' name came to Zain's mind again.

  "I know I am being ridiculous right now but I think the guy who has got a crush on Jenny should be a prime suspect. I mean, anyone can do anything to have people they love under their roof"

Thomas smiled when he realized where Zain was heading to.

  "Jenny mentioned him and I don't think Lucas would kidnap Jenny when he doesn't know you are Jenny's fiance so he should be out of your suspect list"

Zain sighed and wiped off the sweat forming on his head.

  "I don't, I just want my girl back that's all"

 He mumbled and Thomas started the car, soon he was driving out of the police station, heading to the outskirts of the town.
