What's Creeping in The Dark

Coming Out Of Hiding

Calia POV

I have been in hiding for about a a month now. I found a small little woodsy area that is about a mile from civilization/the main city that I could live in. Occasionally I check my phone or laptop to see if people were lookin for me. They were I was on the news for about a week and then they moved on to another "breaking news story".

For the first time in a month I emerged from the woods. Despite the heat I wrapped a scarf around my face, like how you would if it was snowing, so no one would recognize me. When I got to town I stop at the drug store and picked up black hair dye and scissors. I walked to a neighborhood park and used their facilities. It was nice not having to go to the bathroom in a hole. There I cut my long brown hair and dyed it black. I love my hair it is one of my favorite parts of me. I didn't look exactly the same as, Calia Fatima now, just similar. It was kinda hard trying to do this with out drawing attention to myself. Inside the stall, I put in the hair dye and let it sit. When it was time to wash it out, I waited until no one was in the bathroom and went to the sinks to wash it out. Those air hand dryers work good as hair dryers. When I was done my hair came just above my shoulders. I looked into the mirror and saw how different I looked. And I acctully said out loud "Calia Fatima, meet Caitlyn Farewell.......your replacement."

Danny POV

"Reagan" I say into my phone

Conversation

Maria Baez: Hey partner

Danny: Hey what's up, you find anything?

Baez: Yeah I found our missing girl on surveillance cameras about 1/4 mile away from her house, she went into a hardware store but never came out. Must have went out a back door. I am going to talk to the store manager, I will text you the address.

End

Within a few seconds Baez sent me an address and I started off.

When we got to the store, the manager said he remembers the girl. He said she bought a phone card, for 500 mins., and a cart to put her stuff in. He said he doesn't remember where what door she went out, but was assuming it was the back door. He said she looked scared. "Figures" said Maria. I glance at her and smirk. "Thanks for your help" I say and we walk out. "Well now we know we can't track her phone." Said Baez. "Yeah well now we are just going to have to work harder at this." I said. This is a harder case than I thought it would be.

Caitlyn POV (notice name change)

I really need to go to college and I was going to go to UCLA for photography, business, and theater but I can't show up there now. Honestly I a very artsy person and any thing that has to do with "the arts" I am good at. Now I was thinking I would have to get a job or find some sort of income, because I need somewhere to live. I can apply to the community college here in LA, it won't be the best education but it will be something. In California if you are a resident for 5 years you can go to college for free. (True fact ~EEK) I could get a job and go to this community college for 5 years, I can rent a run down apartment and when the five years are up I can go to UCLA for my masters degree. I smiled. For the first time in a month I felt happy and a little bit of hope that I am going to make it in this, big bad world.

A/N Get how did you like the chapter? The "big bad world" thing was a reference to a music album name. I thought it would be cool to add that fun fact about California and college. If you find any mistakes just comment and I will fix them. Thx!
