The Bodies One By One

Chapter 49

They had found and building, a warehouse of some sort it wasn't big neither small. To Marcus, it was the next best thing, 'hey', he gently nudged Leo awake, 'I found somewhere we can stay for a little, we'll make tracks in a couple of days if you want?' Leo stared at the rusty building, 'it looks okay... Then again we don't really have a choice', he clicked the seat belt off and hopped out of the car to get a better look at it, it was certainly better than nothing, it could shelter them from the harsh weather as well.

'What a beauty'.

He heard Marcus say as he joined his side, 'we'll still stay in the car to sleep, I don't think anyone is here, but we don't really wanna risk it', Marcus added as he locked the car and headed towards the rusted door up ahead. 

'What're you doing?' Leo began to follow him, and Marcus poked his tongue out, 'we might as well check this place out, we'll leave the car out if this is a no go'. 
The door let out a satisfying creak, and Marcus stepped inside first, 'not bad', he mumbled as he pushed the door a little more to let Leo in, 'no one has been here for ages, I wonder what happened here?'

'Who knows'. 

Marcus examined an old metal car door, 'oh, this is a some sort of car yard', he said and he heard his voice echo, 'looks pretty cool', he didn't care if he sounded like a little kid. Leo stepped out into a pool of warmth, the roof had been damaged which allowed some of the afternoon sun to spill through. This place was peaceful, it was as if it was meant to be here, to hide people away.

'Wonder what cars they had here'.

'By the looks of it, they would've have tons, so many brands'.

Leo grabbed an old wrench, 'shit this thing is heavy', he chuckled before placing in on one of the bonnets of a wrecked car, 'definitely a warehouse for cars'.

'could find some car parts and upgrade your car'.

Leo joked and Marcus punched him in the arm, 'are you serious? It doesn't need a glow up and even if we did something to it, it'd be ruined in a few days and that would be a waste of work', Marcus had a point. This place was the best place they could hide in, otherwise they'd have to go further in town.

'I'll bring the car in'.

Marcus said as he headed to the door, 'be careful in here', he said before disappearing out of sight. 

Graves watched the new footage that Melissa had retrieved, 'I don't even know where they're going', she said in confusion, 'it's like they're trying to wipe themselves off the grid', she flicked through the different videos. Graves smiled to himself, 'that's what they're doing, which means I can get to them and when I kill them no one will know that they're gone'.

'Except for the FBI'.

His smile was gone, 'They will know, but they won't ever find the bodies', Melissa nodded, 'are we going string them up like the others?'
Graves shook his head, 'no, I'm going to play around with them for a bit'.

'Sounds lovely'. 

'Do you think we can breach a little more with the codes?'

Graves wanted to head out and track them straight away, 'I want to find them fast, my patience is wearing thin'.
Melissa rolled her eyes, 'alright, alright, I'll try and see if I can get more, but I won't make any promises'. 
Her fingers flew over the keyboards and their eyes watched the monitor, watching patiently. The car sped through an amber and luckily hadn't been pulled over.

'What street is that?'

Melissa squinted in an attempt to try and read the street name, but Graves chuckled, 'I know this street, it's McGovern Street'.

'Sounds like you know that street off by heart.

'Of course, this was the street near your daycare, but there's another place I'm aware of'. 

Melissa shrugged, 'you gotta give me more info dad', he grabbed her shoulders and shook her gently in excitement, 'at the very end of this street, there's this warehouse that hasn't been used in years'.
Melissa's eyes grew wide, 'so... You think they've gone there?' Graves nodded, 'it's an old car warehouse that had been shut down way before you were born', his eyes flicked back to the screen, he finally found them.
