My Enemy - M.P

Part 22

ONE WEEK LATER

Y/n's POV

"How much is the clock?", I questioned Mattia as we were standing outside our house. The answer from him came fast. "04:18 pm"

"When did they say our last chance to get her was?"

"05:00 pm"

Letting out numerous curse words, I ran my hand through my hair and sat down on the stairs. "It will never work"

He came over and sat down beside me. "If you keep having that negative mindset it really will never work!"

Ignoring him, I pulled up my phone and read through all the hints we had gotten this week. Each day we had gotten a new one, but none of them had gotten us any closer to finding Em.

Unknown number:

Hint nr 1: Keep your eyes open. a - 2

Hint nr 2: Check the cameras. b - 5

Hint nr 3: Look at the window. M - 1

Hint nr 4: Check the bushes. o - 6

Hint nr 5:  Trace your steps. l - 4

Hint nr 6: Use your useless brains. i - 3

Hint nr 7: Arrange the letters. x - 7

As I was reading the hints over and over again, my mind suddenly started focusing more on the letters and numbers behind every message.

Were they indicating something?

I nudged Mattia and he looked over at me. "Look at the numbers and letters after every hint."

Moving closer, he looked over at my phone in my hand, and started reading the letters and numbers out loud.

"Abmolix? 2 516 437?"

I looked over at his confused face and he looked over at mine. 

We couldn't even ask anyone for help. As Emerald had told us to, me and Mattia had kept the voice message and the messages a secret between us two, but right now I hoped we had told our family. 

Getting Emerald seemed impossible by every minute that went past.

My throat tightened at the thought, and tears blurred my vision. 

"Hey, no crying Hart. We will find out. We will find her", he said and patted my leg. This little gesture surprisingly calmed me a little down.

Reaching my hands up, I wiped away the tears, and looked back down at my phone. 

The words for the last hint replayed in front of my eyes. 

Arrange the letters

Arrange which letters?

There was no letter-. Wait.

Looking back over at the letters and numbers on the hints, I said the letter, with number 1 behind it, out loud.

"M"

And just like that, I continued with the next letter, that had number 2 behind it.

"A"

"I"

"L"

"B"

"O"

"X"

"Mailbox?", Mattia questioned me. 

My eyes widened at the same time as his did.

"The mailbox!", we both yelled at the same time. 

In an instant we had ran over to where the mailbox was. I opened it up, and to our relief, an envelope was inside.

Pulling it out, I ripped open the envelope. A little piece of paper fell out, and Mattia grabbed it.

"A few knew about me,

A few didn't. 

I was discovered,

And became abandoned. 

Now I'm not abandoned anymore,

A little girl is here. 

Waiting for you"

He looked up from the paper and raised his eyebrow.

We didn't have time for this!

"It's a place. A clue to the place where Emerald is", I said, getting impatient. I grabbed the paper out of his hand, and read what was written on it once again. 

"What place does only a few people know about? And why did it become abandoned when it was discovered?", I mumbled to myself. 

"The harbor!"

I looked confused over at him. 

What the hell was he talking about?

"Use your brain Hart! The abandoned harbor!"

Finally understanding what he was saying, and what place the clue was hinting towards, my eyes widened and my mouth fell open.

"Em hates harbors. The water scares her"

Sympathy was clearly visible in his eyes when I said that. "We will get her before anything happens".

Grabbing my arm, he pulled me towards his car. "The clock is 04:31 pm. How long does it take to the harbor from here?"

"Half an hour", I mumbled. 

We both got into the car and he quickly started it, driving out of the driveway. 

How the hell were we supposed to be there before 05:00 pm?
