ChloeGraceMoretz!!! I'm sorry for those whom voted for Adair, it's just that more people wanted Chloe. So here's chapter 2. Tell me how you like it!

"How do you know my name?"
She said as I sat down.
"You told me, when me and my partner were helping you. We're detectives." I said when she gave me a confused face.
She nodded.
"So what happened?"
I took out my notepad and a pen.
"Let's start from what you remember."
She nodded again and took a deep breath.
"My name is Luna Malek. I'm 13 years old. I was born September 26. I was kidnapped when I was 5 years old by some guy named Nickolas, but um he uh told us to call him master Nick. He called me darkness."
"I didn't understand why though, I was far from 'darkness'. I used to love bright colors. I hate that name."
Tears started rolling down her cheeks. I took her hand and held it.

"You don't have to go by that name ever again in your life, you're safe now." She just looked down.
"I'll forever be known as her because of all the videos and advertising."
I was dumbstruck. There were videos?
"Videos? What kind of videos?"
She shook her head and started breathing faster.
"Okay okay we don't have to talk about that right now. You did great. Why don't you get some rest?"
She calmed down and said okay. I exited her room and called Olivia.

"Hey Olivia, the girls name is Luna Malek, 13 years old. Kidnapped when she was 5. The perps name was Nickolas but referred to as 'master Nick."

"Did she say anything else?"

"She said there were videos, but she shut down after that. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what it was about."

"Okay keep going at her, see if we get anything else."

"Roger that sergeant."
I pressed 'end call' and called Nick instead. It went to voicemail.

"Hey Nick, I'm at goodwill hospital and I could really use your help. Give me a call when you get this."

I turned my phone off and took a stroll outside. I need to figure out how to get this girl to open up.
****
"Hey I got your message."
I turned around and saw Nick approaching me.
"What's wrong?"
I gave him a sad smile.
"I don't know how to get her to talk."
He thought about it.
"Don't think, just talk. Talk to her about things that are real, things she missed out on. Show her affection, show her you care."
I smiled a real smile.
"Thanks Nick." I gave him a hug.
"Anytime 'manda."
'Ring! Ring!'
I watched as he brought out his phone.
"Amaro."
He nodded to the person on the other line.
"Okay Liv, I'll be there in 15."
He turned off his cell and shrugged apologetically. I sighed.
"Liv wants me back at the prescient. Says that one of the girls woke up and might be able to help us out."
I nodded.
"And you are not to leave until you get something else out of Luna."
I smirked at him.
"This is going to be a hell of a day."
****
I headed back to the hospital after some coffee. I grabbed a bag of Maynards Swedish berries for Luna. Those things are irresistible.
I knocked on her door before to opening it. I was surprised to see an empty bed. I saw a nurse walk by and I grabbed her arm.
"Hey can you tell me where the patient in this room went? Luna Malek?"
She smiled at me.
"I'll go check."
I sat down on a chair outside the room. People with all kinds of injuries and sicknesses were walking around. I was playing a game on my phone, fruit pop, when the nurse came back.
"It seems that she went to the bathroom. She should be back soon though, you can wait in her room or out here."
"Thank you."
I continued to play fruit pop when I saw her being wheeled in.
"Hi Luna, it's detective Amanda. Do you remember me?"
She nodded. The nurse was helping her get back into her bed, she looked exhausted.
"Yea, Amanda Rollo right?"
I smiled.
"No, actually it's Rollins. Just call me Amanda." I smiled a light brighter to ease her nerves. I could practically feel her nervousness and fear.
"I came in to ask you a few more questions, is that okay with you?"
She shrugged. I opened my mouth to start asking her questions when I felt a vibration.
"Excuse me for a moment."
I walked outside to answer my call.
"Liv? Really bad timing."

"Sorry about that, but we couldn't find anyone under the name Luna Malek in the system. Ask her if she's sure that's her name."

"How could you not find her? How does a child just disappear from the face of the earth?"

"I don't know, we have people tracking her down, looking up her pictures, missing signs, everything. Nada. Something's not right."

"Did you try cross referencing her name with her birthdate?"

"Already ahead of you."

I sighed.

"Okay Liv, I'll text you when I'm done."

I turned off my cell and exhaled. I walked back into the room to see Luna wiping her face. Did something happen while I was out?
"Luna? You alright sweetheart?"
She nodded.
"Yea, I'm fine. Can we get these questions over with?"
She didn't look fine, far from it actually.
"You don't look fine sweetie."
She sighed.
"I'm just tired. Please can we get this over with?"
I nodded.
"So how were you set up with other men?"
I tried to ask this as lightly as possible but there's no way to do that.
"Nick would advertise on his website, posting a picture of us and a small introductory. Men, sometimes even women would book online. Day, time, place. He had other girls all over the world, so wherever you lived you could get a girl. I even heard that they started adding a few boys."
Sometimes women? You would think that women would look out for each other.

"And would you happen to know the name of this website?"
She thought for a bit.

"No, I'm sorry. I wasn't out of the room much."
I nodded. Here comes the hard part.

"And um what exactly happened during those..sessions?"
She looked up at me with those glassy eyes.

"Don't make me say." She whispered.

"Sweetheart, if you don't say anything, this man gets away with it. He's going to keep on doing that until you tell us what happened."

"Us? Who's us?" She asked in s panicked voice.
"More people will know what a disgusting thing I am?"

"Luna, it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself." I reassured her.
"Luna, what did these men do?"

"Whatever they wanted, stuff."
I could sense that she didn't want to go into detail, but she's going to have to sooner or later.
"What kind of things? What did they want?"
She was blushing.
"Sex. Some rougher than the others. I did whatever they would tell me to do, or I would be punished."
"And how would they do that? How would they punish you?"
"They would have fun with me that night. Beat me, rape me." She winced whenever she thought of them. She looked at me, with some rage in her eyes.
"Somedays I would bleed, do you know how painful that is?"
I nodded. I was truly sorry for what she had to go through.
"Luna, are you sure your name is Luna Malek? I mean you were taken at a young age, maybe you got mixed up."
She shook her head violently

"if there's one thing I remember, it's my name. I promised myself I would never forget it."
