Chapter 8

John's P.O.V

I sat in the squad car. We drove to the place that Conner had said and described. He had been reunited with his family and they were happy. We still hadn't heard or seen anyone from Mattie's family. It was like, they didn't even care.

"Here it is," I said. There was the big house. It was ominous and intimidating, and looked like no one lived there. I knew better. "Squad 2, 3, and 4, you ready?" I asked through the walkie-talkie. They all responded. I gave the go ahead and we all got out of the cars and ran towards the house. I kicked in the door.

"Thomas! Come out with your hands in the air where we can see them. We have a search warrant and a warrant for your arrest!' Gilbert shouted. Some of the officers went in and started to kick in doors.

"Clear!"

"Clear!"

Some shouted. We advanced into the house. There was no one there. That is, until I hear a noise upstairs.

"Upstairs!" I yell. We advance upstairs. We start kicking in door after door. We finally get to the last door. I kick it in and I see him. He was standing there just staring at us and smiling. It was almost like he wanted to be caught.

"You caught me," he said casually. He didn't even flinch when I raised my gun.

"Thomas, you are hereby arrested. You have the right to remain silent," I said and I cuffed him. I tugged him along. One of the other officers came up to me. I handed Thomas over to another officer.

"Have you found Mattie?" I asked. The young man shook his head sadly. "Ok, check the house again. If there is any more signs of her tell me."

The officer nodded and went off to relay the message. I started to go downstairs, when something caught my eye. It was a crack in the wall. I pushed it slightly and a door swung open. My eyes widened, and all I could think was:

'A secret door! Why would someone need a secret door?'
