Miss H

chapter 21

'we're looking for james and sarah, they records say they live here in this house, is that true?'
'not anymore, they haven't really lived here for like 3 weeks' you stare tiredly at the 2 men in black suits that are standing infront of you.
'if you want you can come in and ask me questions if that's what you're here for but like it's really late and i'm tired so if you just wanted to ask if they live here, they don't, only i live here.'
'well we do have some questions regarding their disappearance so if you could tell us anything you know it would help'
'hmmm how about i answer your question if you answer mine huh?'
'deal' the men say in unison.

'so my parents haven't been here for about 3 weeks, i know nothing about why or where they disappears to, they left me no clues as to where they went, now why are you after them, i recognise you both, i saw you at that office building a few days back? what did my parents do that results in them having some secret service people after them?'

'your parents are part of a gang, they've been involved in criminal activity and we are trying to find them, they might even be involved with the mafia but we aren't to sure, our only lead was coming here and trying to look for anything to help the case but clearly they've been covering their tracks, they clearly don't want to be found, meaning they're hiding something'

things start to come together in your head, all the money, the nights away from home, the amount of accounts, all for different things and the sudden disappearance.

'i- my parents are criminals...'
'we know it's a lot to take in but thank you for your cooperation, we'll be leaving now'
'if you find my parents... what will you do with them? will i ever see them again?'
'they'll be sentenced to at least 30 years in prison for drug and weapon trade, fraud and fleeing from the law.' one of the men answers.

your heart crumbles and shatters, your parents criminals? they can't be, they would never be involved in such acts.
the men leave, leaving you to your empty house, a dark aura settling over it, the air choking you up, you can't stay here you have to get away.

so you call her, the only person you know you can go to right now.

you dial her number hoping she picks up, and she does.

'i swear to god if this is alice, so help me god'
'i'm not alice but hello to you too'
'oh fuck, hey what's up, a you never call this late and b you rarely ever call unless it's important?'
'erm i... can i come round?'
'yeah sure lemme just send you my address, what's going on though?'
'i'll tell you when i get there, i'll see you soon babe bye'
you hang up, get your keys and drive to hers, which is about 15 minutes away so not too far.

————————————

you arrive at hers and it's about 22:34, and the cold winter air bites away at your skin as you wait for her to open the door and let you in.
'hey, come in' she says letting you into her house.
you look around, she has grey walls with modern style furniture, simple yet elegant.

'thanks, for letting me come round so late' you say to her, 'i didn't wake you up did i?'
'no, no don't worry you didn't, now come on we can go talk in my room, it's quite cold down here.'
you follow her up to her room, and when you get to it, it's beautiful, it reflects her personality so well.

white walls with dark oak furniture, a tv, a shelf full of books, a desk with lots of paper work on it and a chair to go with it, a lamp in the corner of the room next to the window, the curtains a nice light grey and a large bed tucked away in the corner.
'i love your room'
'thanks i tried to make it look somewhat organised'
'it really captures and reflect your personality' you look at her and she blushes a light rose tint, but smiles non the less.

'now tell me, why did you call me at 10 at night asking to come round? what's going on?'
'well i don't think there's any easy way to put this but you know how my parents haven't been home in ages?'
'yeah'
'well basically they're involved in a gang and fled the country to get away from the fbi'
'what ?' she looks at you in confusion.
'my thought exactly when i heard it from the men who came to ask me questions about them'
'so you came here coz you didn't want to be alone with what you've just found out...i'm sorry i don't really know what to say, but i'm always here for you, don't forget that'
'thanks i really appreciate it' your so greatful for having her in your life, helping you through the rough patches.

A.N*so what do you think of the whole parents thing? i'm not too sure how to continue it but i'll figure it out:)*
