~ Felicity's POV ~
It was a normal boring day at the grab n' go, people would get gas, or some snacks, maybe even play pinball, pay, grab the paper with Billy's name and MISSING! Written across it, then leave.
It was slow and calm, that is until the schools let out their students, and they all came to get snacks, and a certain teenage boy hogs the pinball machine, cursing and shouting all day.
Most people call him Pinball Vance, but to me, he's known as my favourite customer, because he attracts so much attention and more people buy stuff. And because he wastes so much of his money on the stupid fucking game back there.
Like Usual Vance went over to the pinball machine, and other customers minded their own business. Jessica was behind the counter twirling her hair while talking to one of the customers, and I was stocking the freezers. A boy comes over to me. "Do you guys have any of that new lemon soda?" He asks I think for a moment before nodding.
I grab it from the bottom of the freezer and hand it to him, "thanks" he smiles, i just nod. As I close the freezer, and the boy was about to leave Vance starts yelling at another guy. Apparently, the boy bumped into him and made Vance loose, right before he could beat his high score.
I look over and see Jessica dialling the cops on the phone. I approach the two boys. "Knock it off you two" I shout at them, the boys were on the ground bleeding, and the others looked confused, but Vance wouldn't stop, so I grabbed him and pushed him to the wall, he wasn't expecting it so he actually hits the wall. "What the fuck" he yells at me.
"If you don't stop I'll ban you from entering, then you'll never beat your high score asshole," I say to him, which was a lie, I couldn't ban anyone, i don't have the high enough authority, plus he attracts customers, he just scoffs, and the police sirens can be heard.
I go help the boy out, and he and his friends immediately run out of the gran n' go, and police grab onto Vance and take him out. As he gets shoved into the car he looks and me and spits, and then the police shove his head into the car.
Man, that guy has some anger issues. I walk back into the store and see the soda boy from earlier was paying, then he left. "Jeez that was cool," Jessica says as I hop behind the counter. "It happens a lot, at this point, it's the only fun thing that happens." I say which makes Jessica laugh.
It's around 6:20ish and Jordyn and Cory arrive, so Jessica and I take our leave. Jessica gets picked up by some guy, which is most likely her boyfriend. Right as I step out the doors, the black van pulls up to get gas, as he walks into the building, he looks at me, and I give him an uneasy smile, and he gives one back.
I can feel him staring at me, but I continue to walk, trying to just ignore him.
When I get home, I do what I usually do, eat breakfast, watch some tv, see if there's news about Billy, and then sleep.
---
- 2 days later -
I wake up around 8 am. The first thing I do is head over to the bathroom, and take a nice warm shower, then once I'm done I brush my teeth and get dressed.
Mom making breakfast, I switch the tv on and turn to the new station. "17-year-old Vance Hopper was reported missing yesterday in the evening" The man starts, but before he finished I shut the tv off. Mom walks over to me, with a plate. "Another missing kid?" She asks, and I silently nod.
"Mom.. You know what that must mean right.." I say, she sighs, goes into the kitchen and returns with her plate. She sits beside me on the couch and starts to eat her food.
"It means Billy won't be coming home.." I say, and she just looks at me, sadly, with a bit of anger, she puts her plate on the table and stands up. "Don't say such things, he could still be alive!" She says mad, before walking to the bathroom.
Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut.
I decided to quickly eat, then I grab my bag and some keys. I don't work today so I was planning on going down to the police station, to see if they have any leads, at all, about Billy, or maybe on Vance.
When I get down there I see Detective Wright and Miller, they notice at me, and Wright gives me a little wave, and I wave back. I walk up to them, and before I can speak, Miller starts, like he knows what I'm going to ask.
"We don't have anything new at the moment, but we know that The Grabber must be strong. Vance Hopper isn't a normal kid, he's rather big and strong, so The grabber must be too, to have taken such a kid" He says I nod.
"It's weird.." I say, and Miller raises an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" He asks. "Well, Vance Hopper was at my work the day before, and the police were called because he got into a fight, and he goes missing the next day.." I say, "they aren't connected though? Right?" Wright intervenes.
"I don't think so, but do you think The Grabber was watching his moves, even before he took Vance? So he knew that he would be going to the grab-n-go every day after school?" I ask, and Detective millers eyes pop, with the sudden realization I might be right.
"So, you're saying The grabber might be watching his victims before he grabs them? That way he knows where they'll be, and who they'll be with?" He asks, and I nod. Detective Miller and Wright smile at me. "You're pretty smart, thank you, if you have any other possibilities let us know, it would be extremely helpful, and we'd really appreciate it," Detective Miller says, i just smile.
"I'm glad to be of help," I say before waving goodbye and leaving the station. Hopefully, I'm right about this, and I've helped them get somewhere on the case. Hopefully, they'll be able to catch the Grabber soon and find Vance, and maybe even billy.
I still have hope. I decide to go to the park for a while, and just sit under a tree, and just relax a bit. It was peaceful, and I watched as parents would pull into the parking lot with their kids.
I noticed a party was going on. And that's when I saw it. The black van that I see every day. I knew it was the same van because of the words on the side. Out steps the man, the man I've seen every day lately, and he goes into the back of his van and grabs some stuff before heading over to the kids
Maybe he's really just a normal magician, and I just think he's a pedo and killer because I'm too paranoid.
He interacted with the kids, and he made all the little boys excited with his magic and his balloons. I decided it was creepy just watching them, so I pull out a book from my bag and read. I hear the kids shouting "TAG!" which means they're probably done with magic and playing.
I turn to look at them, and I smile. The guy returned to his van and put everything away. He noticed me staring and he grabbed one of his balloons, and he started to walk over to me..
