After we had finished today's classes we decided to disturb Osward. Mostly to se why he skipped school again.

Adwita knocked on the front door to Oswalds house and a second later the door was opened by Oswards little sister Mayleen. Before any of us could say somthing she speaked.
"If your looking for Osward, he's not home yet", she said.
"Not home yet?", Pierce said really suprised. "Then where has he been the whole day?".
"He was not with you in school?".
"No", I said "He wasn't in school today, that's why we are here".
What are we doing now? He's not home and he wasn't in school, so where is he?.
"He's probably at some bar", I said to his sister so that she didn't have to worry.
"We will se if we can find him", Adwita said. "Can you call us if he gets home?"
"I can call you", she said and pointed at me "Oswald gave me your number".
"Good, call me if he gets home". I said.

We looked at all his favorite bares but we could not find him, and I begun to worry. Where the hell was he? It's getting late. And Oswald was not the person who managed to be out overnight, especially not if he was drunk.
My phone rang, unknown number.
"Answer it", Pierce said annoyed "What if it's him?".
He was right. So I answered the phone. At first all I could hear was this noice, it sounded like someone running. Then I heard his voice.
"Ella", he said breathless.
"Oswald?", I said panicing.
"Help me!", he screamed before the line disconnected.
"It was Oswald wasn't it", Adwita said.
"Yes it was and I know where he is". I said to them. I didn't feel good to lie but it's best if they dosn't know what he said, it would only make them worry more.
" You can go home, I will go get him".
"You sure?", Pierce said worryingly.
"Yes". I answered him.
I left them there outside the bar and drove away. What the fuck am I supposed to do now, I thought. Then I remembered what my father would have done, he would have someone track him. Thats what I need to do. So I called my father.
"Father" I said when he picked up.
"Yes?".
"Can you track Oswald for me?". I asked, afraid that he would say no.
"I have people who can do that but why?. He asked strictly.
"Well I think he was kidnapped" I said to my father. "He called me from an unknown number and screamed help, it sounded like he was running".
"Shit", I heard my mom say in the background "Darling we need to track him", she then said to my father. "It's probably our fault".
How could it be our fault.
"Mom", I said to the phone.
"Honey, drive to the base, we will be waiting", she said and hung up.
