That call shook me to my core i couldn't lie jake heard it too this was getting bad
        
Group chat

Mc " you all need to leave Duskwood please "
Jessy " i can't just abandon Richy "
Mc " Jessy i understand you but this is different , the police will be all over Hanson's house it would be in all of your best interest to get out of Duskwood please "
Jessy " okay "
Thomas " i have Hannah's phone *
Mc " say what ?"
Thomas " i found it "
Jake " keep it on the charger and leave it alone. "
Mc " please be careful guys let us know when you get there "
Cleo " we will "
Lilly " see you later "

I was thankful for that i needed them out of there and I needed to pack also i was going to Ashview Hills  it's not Duskwood but it's closer i would have a better chance of investigation jake couldn't get mad

Jake " mc "
Mc " yes Jake ?"
Jake " you didn't tell Jessica he said he killed Richy ?"
Mc " i couldn't "
Jake " i understand "
Mc " i have to go take care of something I'll talk to you later "

Something was bothering jake i just know it but he won't say anything I know what I was doing being in Ashview hills would be better than staying at home and not doing anything I just couldn't get this out of my system Michael Hanson knew we were in his house we saw all the evidence and he knows the police is going to be there soon if anyone in their right mind think  about it then he would get rid of all the evidence before the police gets there then  he's going to go after them and I can't take that chance I just can't I needed to be closer to Duskwood it wouldn't hurt as it is I'm not about to walk around Phil's In prison we don't know if Richy is dead or alive I don't even know where Hannah is Dan's in the hospital and Jessy she's traumatized God help us all I really cared about them they've become my friends I can't let anything happen to them but at the same time I can't give Jake up I just can't he's  come to mean so much to me I need to talk to him about this but does he feel the same way that's my issue I got packed and I headed to my car I made sure I lock all my windows and  all my doors I called my mom and told her I'd be away for a few days that I was going on a camping trip with my friends after a short conversation with her I got in my car and drove the 3 hours to Ashview Hill's  while I'm driving on the entire ride  I couldn't help but wonder what if I was right and Jake was wrong what if there are two perpetrators someone saw Hannah and Amy Bury Jennifer's body , that is the person that's helping Michael but who could it be on one side I think it's Dan on the other I think it's Richy I don't believe Richy's dead I believe he's still alive I just don't know what to do anymore just then I got a message from my phone

Jessy " Mc I uploaded some pictures that I took of Michael Hanson's house for you and Jake to take a look at

MC " thanks Jessy I'll let Jake know"

Jessy " okay I'll talk to you when I get there I'm packing now as we speak "

MC " okay be careful Jessy"

Jessy " bye  mc "

Great now we have pictures of Hanson's house I can't wait to go through these with Jake hopefully we Could find something useful find more clues as to where Hannah and Richyn are . I just couldn't shake this feeling after that drive I was tired they was a whole bunch of notifications on my phone but I didn't take the time to check them because I wanted to get there before dark I found a modest motel and I took a room it would have to do I opened my laptop and I plugged my phone into the charger I checked my phone and I saw my messages from Cleo with pictures of the house from Jessy and messages from Jake and from Thomas saying the phone was already charging I opened my chat with Jake

MC " Jake are you busy Jessy uploaded some pictures that she took for us

Jake " okay let's look at them together i want to try something "

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There were pictures of everyone from the group. There was even my name there. Jake was quiet . it didn't give us any new clues it's  all we learned is that he's been watching everyone for a long time how long we have no idea the pine glade festival is tomorrow it will be approximately 10 years since Jennifer died

MC " Jake are you okay "?

Jake "  no I'm not "

MC "what's wrong "?

Jake "it's just seeing your name there I can't protect you and I want to MC I really do but I'm powerless "

MC "Jake I need to talk to you about something "

Jake " is something wrong "

MC " you do know that I've fallen for you ,Jake you know that I like you don't you ?  I care about you more than I should "

Jake "  I didn't want this to happen it shouldn't have happened it can't happen "

MC "  why are you so adamant I've never seen you I know nothing about you Jake only what you've told me and somehow I can't help it you mean so much to me I can't afford to lose you"

Jake " you won't lose me but it's not right it shouldn't have happened in the first place "

MC " okay answer one question for me please "

Jake "okay "

MC " do you care about me "?

Jake "............................"

MC " answer me Jake don't go offline don't do that to me I want an answer now do you care about me "?

Jake "  yes I do more than I should I can't protect you if something happens to you , I do care about you I do feel the same way about you but it's not possible "

MC " that was all I needed to hear"

Jake " if anything happened to you I wouldn't know what to do "

MC "  nothing is going to happen to me we just have to find Hannah we've already got Hanson we just need to wait a bit longer jake "

Neither Jake nor  I knew how wrong we were. I didn't know how wrong I was because what happened next would send me  straight to our kidnapper straight into his arms. I would do whatever I have to protect the others even if it meant giving myself up  Hannah was alive. I still believe it but  We were so wrong and we didn't know it yet.

As i sat on the bed eating pizza  i was having multiple conversations with everyone while looking at the clues when  cleo told me her suspension about dan escaping the hospital it bothered me why would he do that i started looking into each one of their lives i was missing something , and it was bugging the hell out of me 

Mc " jake i need your help with something "

Jake " yes mc what is it "?

Mc " Can you get me the address of the cabin that everyone is staying in and a map of the area  also look for all mobile devices in that same area . Can you do that " ?

Jake  " I feel a bit insulted by that question." 

Mc " I'm sorry "

Jake " apology accepted ,  Does this have to do with our case ?"

Mc " just a hunch , a theory i want to check , if i find anything I'll let you know "

Jake " okay give me a while and i send it to you "

Mc " thank you " 

Something wasn't right here Thomas found Hannah's phone , the kidnapper was right behind them he could have caught jessy , he moved Hannah from that house he knew we would go there. all my doubt came to fruition when Jake sent me all that information I couldn't believe it Jessy whereabouts were accounted for so was Cleo's and lilly's , so did Thomas the only two were Dan and Richy their movements there cell phone data it did not match Richy was out of the picture that much we knew but he was still alive Jake was tracking his cell phone as  I was reading everything it wasn't over not by a long shot I had to figure out where Hannah was because she was still alive I needed to call him right away 

Jake "  MC we have a problem "

MC "  what happened Jake "? 

 Jake " I'm currently tracking Richy's cell phone and his location is close to where the others are "

 MC " I knew it "
