Shay and Zach have hated each other for years, but now they have to put their past behind and work together for the sake of their mafias.

It's been months without Zach and Shay. I almost gave up a couple times, but Ella and Jonah won't. Jack, Corbyn, and Daniel shut everyone out after Zach's disappearance and no one argued. I'm finally able to get out of bed. I can't walk so I move around on crutches but it's better than not being able to walk around at all.
"They aren't fucking dead Jonah." Ella slams her fists on the table and picks up more papers examining them. "They aren't dead. They are aren't dead. They aren't dead." She keeps repeating it while shaking.
"Ella." I grab her wrists and look at her. "You need a break."
"I CANT TAKE A FUCKING BREAK WHEN MY BEST FRIEND COULD BE DYING." Ella screams at me. I'm taken back a little as I watch her fall to the floor while Jonah holds her.
She was right. For all we know, Hailey found them and could be torturing them. They could even be dead. I shutter and brush off the though, before walking out the room. Jack is seen sitting on the couch talking to a woman. Her hair was pulled into a tight bun, she had glasses, with a pencil skirt and tight shirt.
"You think you may know?" Jack asks her. She nods and I sit beside Jack my eyes focused on her.
"What might she know?" I ask leaning in.
"She might know where Shay and Zach are."
"I'm not certain but you said the last place they were seen was at the edge of the cliff. That is where the exact location is." She explains.
"What are you talking about?" I narrow my eyes at her.
"Inside that cliff is a city. It's for people who want to escape the mafia.They fake disappearances and deaths so people can live a more free life."
"Can you show us how to find it?" I ask rubbing my forehead.
"They're scared of people in the mafia Elizabeth. Do you really think Shay and Zach are there. What if they killed them?" Jack frowns.
"Jack we're running out of options. We need to try every one now." I respond. He nods and I stand up. "You're welcome to stay here tonight. We will go there tomorrow to check it out."
"Thank you." She smiles and shakes my hand before following a guard to her room.
"What if they are dead Elizabeth?" Jack asks turning to me.
"I don't know."
"Well you have to think about it now."
"They're too stubborn to even die." I laugh a little.
"You're right."
Jonah and Ella walk down and sit across from us.
"When's the last time you ate Ella?" I ask her. She doesn't respond and Jonah looks down at her skinny arms. He lifts up her shirt and we see her ribs clearly.
"What the fuck Ella she's right. When is the last time you ate?" He asks putting his hand on her stomach.
"A week ago."
"And what was it?"
"A piece of bread."
"Okay when is the last time you had a full meal?" Jack asks.
"When did Zach and Shay go missing?" She asks. We all gasp and look at her.
"Ella you haven't eaten a meal since they have gone missing? That is horrible." I run to the kitchen and start making a meal.
"I've been stressed okay. I was so focused on getting them back, I didn't realize I wasn't eating." Ella plays with her fingers as I set down a bowl of soup in front of her.
"Please eat this." I say.
She lifts up her spoon and eats a carrot from the soup. After taking a bite and swallowing, she starts downing the soup fast.
"Baby you need to focus on other things other than them." Jonah rubs her back as she finishes the last of her soup. I hand her an apple and she takes it.
"I'm sorry I can't help it. She picked me up off the streets and I am forever thankful. She's my best friend guys, I need her back." A tear drops from her eye and Jonah wipes it.
