The day grew on and as the sun slowly faded away, so did everyones hope.
"He was right here, with two boys. Drunk, but Dream was talking to l one and then Wilbur got away with the second." George explains to a nail-biting Phil, a crying Tommy & a clearly confused social worker, Eret. All of them stood where Wilbur, Quackity & Jschlatt previously were. Though it wasn't light anymore, the only light provided by a nearby corner shop and the moon.
"But you said they were drunk, how did they get away?" Eret questions, staring quizzically at Dream & George who shifted their weight uncomfortably.
"Yeah, we don't.. know. I got distracted by Dream and the boys argument and then I turned around and he was gone." With a guilty tone lacing his words George ran a hand through his hair nervously, watching as Eret nodded unsurely before looking over at Phil who was now holding the crying boy on his hip.
"It wasn't Quackity or JSchlatt, was it?" Phil reluctantly asks the question that he couldn't drag down from his mind before now, his heart skipping a beat as Dream nods,
"who are they?"
"Long story short, they're both addicts pretty much. They got Techno involved and it triggered his schizophrenia since it runs in the family, we think whatever they gave him was laced. JSchlatt is very manipulative though, he always gets vulnerable boys down to his level and Alex is a perfect example of what happens if they don't cut him out. They'll just become another version of JSchlatt." Phil sighs, holding the whimpering boy closer.
"They've probably gone to JSchlatts then, no?" Eret states while smiling sadly at them,
"I don't know where his place is, he never mentioned where he lived and I don't believe Techno ever went to his place. Or atleast he never mentioned it." Phil frowns slightly, feeling utterly helpless.
"I want Wilbur!" Tommy suddenly screams out, making everyone jump slightly as he pushes his face away from his dads neck to wipe his tear stained cheeks,
"I know you do, mate. It's okay, he'll be back." Phil offers the best reassurance he can give, he had no idea if Wilbur would come back..
"Philza, once we find him, I need to speak to him about what you mentioned to me over the phone. But if we put a safety plan in place, he'll be allowed to stay with you only if he agrees to, of course, but trust me.. he will. He ran away because he got scared that he would be sent away, that speaks volume to me." Eret smiles sweetly at them all.
"Should we call the police?" George questions, intruding the silence that was weighing down on them like a tonne of bricks and Phil wonders if that was how Wilbur felt.
"It's worth a try, the best they'll be able to do is send an amber alert out since it hasn't been 48 hours yet." Eret states, pulling her phone out and excusing himself away from the group to make the call.
