Sweet Child O Mine (Izzy Stradlin)

14. Missing

"Where could he possibly be?" Izzy asked pacing back and forth. Katie and Mike sat at the table. Katie nervously tapped her foot on the ground and drummed he fingers on the table. 

Izzy had called Slash, Axl, Duff, and Steven. But Myles wasn't there and Izzy began to worry about his youngest child. 

Eventually, Izzy decided to call over everyone (Including the cops with who he had some good friends) and tell them Myles had gone missing. 

Slash, Meegan, Xander, Axl, Wilder, Duff, Logan, Steven, Lauren, and two of Izzy's cop friends Luke and Bobby came over. 

"Myles has gone missing," Izzy said. Everyone gasped in shock and Lauren began to cry. Her sweet Myles missing? "I... I think I know who it is," Lauren said. Everyone turned to her. "I didn't see his face it was too dark. But he grabbed me and threatened to shoot me last night. Myles gave the man his wallet containing three grand so I'd be safe. And the man took off," Lauren said. She then shook her head. "I don't know what he looked like," she added. Luke and Bobby nodded. "We'll do what we can to bring Myles home," Luke said. 

Bobby turned to his walkie-talkie on his vest. "Send out an amber alert. 10-43. Myles Dean Isbell. Black hair, blue eyes. Last seen wearing jeans, a white shirt, and a black leather jacket," Bobby said. "10-4," the person on the other side of the radio said. 

"I promise," Luke said laying a hand on Izzy's shoulder. "We'll bring Myles home." Izzy nodded as tears formed in his eyes. "I don't see why anyone would do that," Izzy said. "He's a rockstars son. And if it is the man Lauren was talking about. They know he has a lot of money. They know you'd have a lot of money. And they'd make you pay a lot of money to get him back. But we'll find them before that happens," Bobby said.

Myles woke up in a dark place. He could tell it was moving. He lifted his tired body off the ground and looked around. He saw two other kids there. They didn't look scared though. And they looked mean. "Um, wh-where am I?" Myles asked. "Look around, Isbell," one said. "And maybe you could figure it out." "But why?" Myles asked. "We're supposed to know?" the boy asked. "Well, I thought you'd have some idea," Myles said. "Well, we don't. So shut the fuck up," the boy said. 

Myles stood up and went to the small window. Way too small to crawl through. About a foot long and five inches tall. But it was close to the lock of the door which means... 

Myles took out his pocket knife and began beating the plastic window. "What are you doing?" the girl asked. "You'll see," Myles said. The window broke and Myles stuck his hand through and picked the lock with his knife. Myles jumped out of the way as the doors flew open. They were far from L.A. The road was a country road with no city or house in sight. 

The boy and girl walked over to Myles. "Ready to jump?" Myles asked. "Because we need to before they notice the doors are open." The teens nodded. "Good," Myles said before jumping out of the vehicle. 

The road was hot and rough and it hurt when Myles landed on the ground. He stood up and looked at the van that was speeding away. Both of the teens had jumped out. "Thanks, Myles, I'm Tony and that's Alice," the boy said. "No problem. But we're far from L.A. We should find a house or something," Myles said. The two nodded and they continued down the road. 

Myles was free. But now he had to figure out how to get back home.
