Missing

Chapter 4

A/N: I'm so sorry if I butchered British addresses. I'm American.

Emma's POV:

Four days after Nori disappeared, I called Olivia Greenwood. She's in MI6 and if the police department wouldn't help, I knew I'd need her.

-Four days after Nori went missing-

"DCS Greenwood."

"Olivia it's Emma Banville."

"What do you want?"

"My girlfriend Nori White is missing. The police are doing nothing. She went missing four days ago but labeled her case as a runaway. I can't get them to help and I need help. I hired a PI and his team but they can only do so much and-"

"Banville, I can't simply go above the police department even if I want to. But I will do what I can. If you can get an uproar, I can try to get MI6 to take the case. In the meantime, I'll do some digging."

"Thank you Olivia."

Do you know who took her?"

"No. But I know she never made it to work. She owns the practice Olivia. She never misses work unless she absolutely has to. And she always calls first. I got a call from the office saying she never showed up and her car was found outside Java Love on bakers street."

"I'll ping her phone and see where her last known location was."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"I'll call you when I have information."

-Present day-

Olivia Greenwood still hadn't called me with more information. It had been a week and a half. But I understand she's doing the best she can. Its just unbearable knowing my Nori is out there somewhere. I do hope James has found something useful.

Nori's sweatshirt still smells like her. Jasmine. Her signature scent. Unless we were going on a date. Then she wore her Giorgio Armani perfume. But when I think of Nori, Jasmine is what I think of.

I trued not to tear up as I read her diary. I skimmed through most of it as she had filled it almost completely. I started at her entry on January 18th 2018.

January 18th 2018,

Today was a nightmare at work. My patient, who I can't name without breaking the law, came to me for a diagnosis and I sadly had to tell her and her son, that she has stage four lung cancer. Approximately three months left to live. The son however, pinned me to a wall and left my wrist bruised and twisted. The worst part was the threatening. If I don't cure his mum, he will make me disappear. Vanish into thin air. And no one will come looking for me. Em took me to the police station to file a report which is probably for the best. But I'm terrified. What if something happens? I'm a good judge of character and can always call someones bluff... Keeton O'Brian, the man who threatened me, wasn't bluffing. I'm going to do some digging and record everything in here in case something does happen. I'll report my findings. But on the bright-side, I have a wonderful partner who cares for me. And I love her with all my heart. Emma Banville, you are the love of my life. I have to sign off now.
- Nori White.

I flipped to the next entry which was four days later on January 22nd 2018.

January 22nd 2018

Keeton O'Brian's mother is a lovely woman. I met with her today to discuss chemotherapy and offer the name of the support group I run. She was so grateful for my help and I'm glad to offer it. Keeton came with her today... I feel uneasy around him.
-Nori White

The next page was an entry from February 16th 2018.

February 16th 2018

He's everywhere! Keeton O'Brian is everywhere. I've seen him on my route to work, outside my office staring at me, at the grocery store, at the gym, even outside my home! I'm so scared. He's going to take me. I know it. I can't tell anyone. The police have done nothing to help and if I go missing... I fear no one will ever find me. Lucky for me, I have a friend in MI6. Olivia Greenwood.

"What?!" I gasped.

I called her when the threats started and told her everything. I met her when her brother came to me and I diagnosed him with stage one testicular cancer. I helped him through chemo and preformed surgery to remove his testicles. He is still alive and cancer free to this day. Lets just say Olivia and I became friends after that. She has been working to track Keeton for me. And she found an address under his name in East Anglia. Very isolated. I have a feeling that this is where he will take me. The address is 43 Braxton Road, East Anglia. I fear my time is running out. Emma, if I go missing, know that I love you more than anything in the world.
- Nori White

I grabbed my phone immediately to call Olivia Greenwood, but she was already phoning me before I could press anything.

"Banville. I found something. But you won't like it."

"You knew! You knew about Keeton! Nori contacted you prior to her disappearance! You have her an address! Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Emma I couldn't do anything. As soon as I found the address, MI6 was wiped clean. I didn't have it on me anymore. Nori said she wrote it down somewhere. Do you have it?"

"Yes."

"Good. But I have troubling news. The PI you hired. James Horace?"

"What is it?"

"James is a friend of Keeton O'Brian's. In fact, James Horace is no longer a PI at all. How did you come in contact with him?"

"My contacts told me he had a reputation for finding missing people. The best of the best. My Nori deserves the best so I hired him. How do you know James is friends with Keeton?"

"I decided to ping his cell phone when I pinged Keetons. Not only did I find them together, I tracked their history and they have been in the same spot for hours on end for weeks, prior to Nori's disappearance as well. The address they have been at for the last 4 hours is 43 Braxton Road, East Anglia. Is that the address Nori wrote?"

I looked down at the diary and there it was 4366 Braxton Road, East Anglia.

"Yes."

"I have gotten this case approved by MI6. We're moving in on them tonight. If you're coming, meet us at Braxton Road. We walk the rest of the way."

"I'm on my way."

I hung up and threw on my clothes, ringing Dom as I did.

"Em for christ sake its-"

"James Horace is a bad egg Dom. He's working with Keeton O'Brian. MI6 has confirmed an address Nori wrote in the diary and we're moving in on them tonight. Meet me at Braxton Road in East Anglia. And call Curtis Lee. Tell him thank you but we won't be needing a search party."

"Should we tell her family?"

"I'm not giving them false hope. We'll call them once we have Nori."

"We're bringing her home Em."

"We're bringing her home."

I just hoped to god I wasn't too late...
