Missing Comrades

Last Comrade Found

Lauren's POV

"What a pleasure to see you all," Andrew pats me in the back then shakes everybody's hands. He looks at Justin as his face falls. "I am very sorry about your father," He says.

"Thank you," Justin nods.

"Hey, no crying today. Save all of that sadness and anger for Chris. Tonight let's finish this competition," Colson says.

"You're funeral kid," Andrew chuckles.

Later into the competition, we are in the final round and it's just me and Andrew.

"Alright, Lieutenant, winner gets what?" Andrew smiles.

"Tased," I joke.

"Winner gets the other person's pistol for a day," Andrew says.

"You want my pistol?" I smiled.

"It's a good one," Andrew says.

"Deal," I shake his hand.

Andrew steps up first and levels his bow and arrow. He lets go and the arrow skewers onto the target directly a few inches apart from the middle.

"Beat that," Andrew smiles.

"I will," I wink.

I step up and raise the bow and arrow in my hands. I take a deep breath as I focus all of my attention directly on the middle of the red spot. I let go and the arrow hits directly in the middle.

"Bullseye!" I said, turning to look at Andrew as I'm declared as the winner.

"Looks like I won your gun for a day," I smiled.

"Fair and square," Andrew smiles.

"Come on drinks are on me," I said as all of my friends cheer.

Back at the place, we are staying, everybody is drinking and dancing to the music they put on as I sit down next to Andrew.

"Seems you found everybody," Andrew downs the rest of his drink.

"It was certainly a challenge and lots of money wasted," I smile.

"And Camila?" Andrew asks.

"In Chicago. She wanted to see her home and to draw Chris away from us while we came to get you," I inform.

"Why draw him away?" Andrew asks.

"Your suspicions were right. Chris caused the fires. He's been after Camila. Attacked Liam and Gerald. Hemsworth got arrested in Florida," I inform.

"Well, you've been on quite an adventure," Andrew nods.

"After Texas, it wasn't. It was us constantly looking over our shoulders," I said.

"So what's our next move?" Andrew asks.

"We go back to Chicago. Zayn is there. He was in Tennessee but decided to return," I inform.

"Always brave," Andrew smiles.

My phone rings and I grab it to see that Camila is calling me. The music stops as everything walks over to me when they hear the phone.

"Who is it?" Ally asks.

"Camila," I answer. I accept the call and put it on speak for everybody to hear.

"Hello, my beautiful wife."

"Hi. You are on speaker too," I said.

"Perfect, I wanted to talk to all of you."

"Do you have information, Camila?" Ally speaks up.

"Somewhat. Zayn has a plan."

"Explain," I said.

"Not on the phone. I'll see you all back here in Chicago. Zayn has sent a message to all police officers for a meeting."

"Looks like our new COP will have a speech to write," I look at Justin.

Justin swallows hard as he cowards back but he nods slowly.

"We'll see you soon," I said.

"See you. Zayn will be waiting eagerly for y'all's arrival."
