Last night, we were all frantically searching for Ash and Brooklyn, but they were nowhere to be found.
To sum up last night's events, Jamie and I went looking in the city centre for clues on the Carli Subbons' case, but we didn't find much. Lisha and Myliey said they didn't find anything either, and when we went to look for the girls around the alleyways, they were gone. I love Ashlyn so much, and I knew that going down those side-streets wouldn't be safe for her, nor Brooke. Now we just have to wait for them to come home, wherever they are.
What if they have the information that we need to solve this case? What if they hold everything that we need to know? But what if they're... d- no. I can't bring myself to say that word. It just doesn't set right with me in that context. To say that my girlfriend and her best friend could be 'the d-word.' We need to find them, and as quickly as possible. Ashlyn is still recovering from a badly broken leg, and if she's gotten split up from Brooke, she's screwed. They're both screwed, actually. They only have a few snacks and around 500ml of water- we were only supposed to go out for a couple of hours. This has turned from a missing-persons case into a 3-way missing-persons case. And 1 of those people is my favourite person in the world. I can't let Ashlyn die. We need to find her. And yep, I said the d-word.
Carli isn't my main priority anymore, she's not anyone's. Ashlyn and Brooke are our main priorities at the minute, and we need to find them fast. Who knows where they are or what they're up to? I hope to God that they aren't playing a trick on us. I know that Ash would never do that, but there is a possibility that Brooke could have planned it, or Ash was just being silly. In fact, what am I talking about? What if they aren't playing a trick, what if they're actually lost? Or even de-
No. You promised yourself that you wouldn't say that word in that context, Kyron. On another note, we've all decided that we're going to go on a search party and look for Brooke and Ash. They can't be that far away, after all. However, upon saying that, they could be literally anywhere.
"I think we've got everything!" I shout to Lisha, as she asks us if we have everything we need. We have quite a lot in our backpacks, but some of our main components of equipment include:
•A metal detector
•A fingerprint scanner
•A torch
•A rope
•And the typical magnifying glass.
Honestly, we don't use anything else on a regular basic. Of course we carry food and drink in our bags, but there's actually not much that we need to take. Anyway, I'm getting off-topic, we need to go and find these girls! That's if...if- if we can.
We're currently walking around the alleyways that the girls walked down last night, and I don't know what we'll find. We all looked last night immediately after we found out that they had gone missing, and we didn't find anything then- that's why my hopes aren't very high right now. Instead of walking in pairs, we're walking altogether so no one gets lost like Ash and Brooke did last night. We don't want a repeat of that. Myliey is walking to the side of me and she won't stop giving me dirty looks. I don't know what it is with her, but she's been really... really- 'off' lately. She hasn't spoken much, she hasn't interacts with any of us except Lisha, and she just all-round seems a little bit suspicious. I don't know why she seems suspicious or what she's suspicious of, but I don't like the vibe she seems to be giving off.
Jamie is walking just in front of me, and his backpack is practically falling off his back. I've already had to push it up twice so far, and it looks like I'm gonna have to do it again very soon. Lisha is in front of all of us, and she seems to be walking at a peculiar speed. She's going way too fast, maybe even too fast for her own body weight to carry. Even she seems a little 'off' lately. Jesus! What it is with my roommates? Maybe it's me who's just imagining things, but I swear something is going on- particularly between Myliey and Lisha. Whatever it is, I want to find out. And I will.
