Love & Hustle

Filler.

-Author's POV

Rose has been going with Romeo everyday after school for almost a week now. Everyone thinks she's been with Ronnie though.

"Sweetheart, could you have Rose to come home? Tell her she can bring Veronica with her." Mrs. Campbell asked her husband. 

"Sure, Dear."

Mr. Campbell pulled out his cellular device and dialled Rose. No answer. He tried again. No answer. Once more, he thought. Third time's always a charm, right? Yet, he got the same response.

"Funny, she won't answer." 

"Aw, she's probably too busy with Ronnie to notice you calling. Try the house phone."

He dials the house and there's an answer on the third ring.

"Hello?" 

"Good evening, Mrs. Hernandez. This is Mr. Campbell, Rosie's father." 

"Oh! Hola, Mr. Campbell! How are you?" 

"I'm fine, I'm fine. I was just wondering if you could tell Rose that she needs to come home. She can bring Veronica with her." 

"Oh, Mr. Campbell. Rosie isn't here. Ronnie has been sick for almost a week now. I'm not letting anybody near her until she's better." 

"Well, that's strange. For the passed week, she's been assuring us that she's at your house." 

"I'm sorry, but I haven't seen her."

Mr. Campbell became a little worried.

"Thank you for your time Mrs. Hernandez." 

"You're welcome."

He ended the call.

-With Mrs. Hernandez

"Where's Rosie?" She folded her arms. 

"I don't know, mommy." Ronnie shrugged. "I haven't seen her."

Mrs. Hernandez's face softened. Her daughter has never lied to her and for her to lie now was no reason. Ronnie has been with Mrs. Hernandez since she got sick so there's no way she could've seen Rose without her mother seeing her also. Ronnie doesn't use her cellphone when she's at home and it's off anyways so it doesn't matter. 

The only thing that does matter is where is Rosie?

-Back With The Campbells

Tracey walked in with a half empty Mountain Dew bottle in one hand and his car keys in the other. He stopped when he saw his parents, "Where's Rose, Tracey?" Mrs. Campbell asked. 

"She's not here?" 

"We wouldn't be asking if she was, son." Mr. Campbell said. 

"What about Ronnie? You know they're always together." 

"Nope."

Instantly, Tracey thinks of the one place he doesn't want his sister at, "Mom, Dad, I don't know where she is. I'll go look for her though."

They hesitated at first. Their beloved daughter is missing and now their son is going out to find her. They can only pray for the best. 

Tracey walks out to his black on black Camaro. Praying his sister isn't where he thinks she is because if she is, someone's getting it! He took a quick stop at the mall to grab a few things just incase Rosey is there. After leaving the mall, he pulls up to the house. The clean white Cadillac Escalade is in the driveway, sitting on it's twenty-two spinners. He kills the ignition and walks up to the front door. He knocks five times. The door is opened by a bored Philly.

"Where's my sister?"
