Heat of the Moment ⭐

Part 10

*****NORMAL POV*****

I was sitting on the couch at Alicia's house still pissed.

"You know I love when you visit but running away from them, is that smart?" Alicia asked coming in to sit next to me.

"I don't care Alicia, I needed out. Everyone there has been driving me crazy, even Sue and that's saying something." I said and Alicia laughed.
"Ben too?" Alicia asked and I shook my head.

"He is the only one making it bearable." I said and Alicia smiled.

"Well I love you and you can stay here as long as you want." Alicia said and I placed my head on her shoulder and sighed. As we sat and I scrolled through my phone and she read a brail book her cellphone started ring. When it rang it said the name of who was calling.

"Reed Richards calling." A voice kept repeating and I groaned.

"I know, you aren't here." Alicia said and I gave a small laugh and headed into her kitchen to get a drink.

"Hey Reed." Alicia said and she out the phone on speaker.

"Hey Alicia, sorry to bug you but I was wondering if Gracie is with you or if you heard from her?" Reed asked.

"No Reed, I'm sorry I haven't. Should I let you know if I do?" Alicia asked.

"Yes please. I just need to know she is safe." Reed said and they hung up.

"Can't you just text him and tell him you are safe?" Alicia asked.

"No, he will want me to come back and stay and I cant anymore. I need to be out." I said and Alicia laughed.
"What's so funny?" I asked.

"You want out yet you are hiding out inside my place." Alicia said and I laughed.
"Be nice to me, I'm making this plan us as I go." I said and we laughed.

*****REED POV*****

"I called Alicia and she isn't there." I said walking into the living room where everyone was.

"Reed, I am sure she is fine. She knows how to stay safe. She just needs out." Sue said. I knew she was right but I needed to know where she was. I pulled my phone back out and dialed a number groaning the entire time.

"Richards. What can I help you with?" They all heard a voice say and looked at me.

"Victor listen, have you seen or heard from Gracie recently?" I asked.

"You mean have I heard from her after she chose you freaks over me? No I haven't. Why is there a problem?" Victor asked.

"Yeah she is missing and we don't know where she went." I said. I hated admitting this time him but I didn't have a choice.

"Does this have anything to do with Johnny's stupid stunt today?" Victor asked.
"That's not the point Victor, I just needed to know if she was with you." I said.

"No she isn't but I can put some of my best men on it." Victor said.

"Not necessary." I said and hung up.

"Why did you call him?" Johnny asked pissed off.

"You know if he finds her first he wont let her come home right?" Johnny continued.

"And if you hadn't snuck out and then pushed her away we wouldn't be looking for her!" I yelled in reply and I felt Sue's hand on my back.

"Everyone needs to calm down. Reed, your sister knows how to stay safe and she went somewhere safe I am sure of it. I can feel it." Sue said and I half smiled at her.
