-kurapika's pov-

"come on, there had to be something, leorio!" i yell, pacing back and forth.

the police had come by a while ago and just as expected, they didn't find much of anything.

"i know, kurapika! we just have to think!" the tall man says, scratching his chin.

we were both standing on (name)'s driveway, trying to figure out how to bring them back.

"it's like ivy said, (name) couldn't have gone far. they didn't disappear that long ago."

"but how are we supposed to find them? are we supposed to search the whole town?"

"yes!" leorio shouts.

"that'll never work!" i sigh, walking up to the stair of their house to take a breath. i sat on the stairs, trying to clear my mind so i could figure out where (name) might have went.

"come on, kurapika, everything will be alright. we'll get (name) back." leorio sighs, taking a seat next to me.

"yeah."

i lean back, placing my hands on the stair above me for support.

"so what will we do if we can't find them?" i ask.

leorio looks over to me, a sad expression on his face after i said that.

"don't speak like that, kurapika. i don't want to think about something like that."

"sorry." i mutter.

"don't worry about it. i understand how stressed this is making you. i would be as well if my girlfriend ever went missing."

"you don't even have a girlfriend." i laugh.

"i know, but there's this one girl.. i really like her," leorio says quietly, almost at a whisper. "i don't think she'd ever like me back, but i care about her more than lots of things in the world. sometimes i feel like i care about her more than i should."

"it's okay to feel that way." i say, sitting up. "if you really like her that much then you should tell her."

"but what if she doesn't like me back?"

"then know that you aren't wasting your time on someone so you can move on. if it turns out she wasn't right for you, that'll give you the opportunity to find someone who is."

"you know too much about this stuff, kurapika." leorio mutters.

"nope, i'm pretty new at this." i sigh, leaning back once again. my hand touches a small piece of fabric, causing me to jump.

"woah, what's wrong, kurapika?" leorio asks, scared by my sudden movements.

"i- just touched something." i said, turning around to look at what was next to my hand.

i picked up the fabric, instantly recognizing it.

"leorio!" i yell. "i know who took (name)."

-(name)'s pov-

after the mystery person left the room, i tried to think of all the ways to escape.

my hands were duct taped together, as well as my ankles. i might have already gotten out by now if i could see.

i needed to figure out how to get this blindfold off quickly. i needed to figure out what the room i was in looked like.

i needed to find all the exits and see if there was anything i could use to protect myself.
