Winter Mystery 🎄CHRISTMAS SPECIAL🎄(Reddie)

Chapter 5

Knowing Stanley and Bill were together, Richie reconsidered the fact him and Eddie could be possible. Maybe he's not straight, maybe when he come back they can be a happy couple like he's always dreamed of.

Thinking of that made Richie realise he hasn't checked on Eddie in awhile, and last time he tried there was no one home. So off he went on his bike, heading to Eddie's house.

When he turned into the street, Richie was surprised to see two cars pulled up in the driveway. One was a police car and the other he had never seen before. Riding towards the house, Richie was trying to look in but he couldn't get a good enough view. He dropped his bike and walked up to the porch. Before he could land a foot on it, he was stopped by a large man.

"Sorry kid, this is offbounds." The guy said in a deep voice. Richie slowly looked up at, what looked like a 7ft tall man, he was wearing a police uniform. "Why?" Richie asked, curious as always. "That'd private business. Now get out of here!" The man pointed to the street but Richie wasn't going to let go that easily. "Is Eddie in there?" He asked trying to see inside. "How do you know Eddie?" The man asked raising one of his eyebrows. "He's my bestfriend!" Richie answered proudly. The man turned around and whispered to someone. After he turned back, he moved out of the way a motioned Richie to come inside.

As Richie walked in he saw policemen walking around looking at everything. Then he made his way to Eddie's bedroom, it had been cleared out. He tried to walk in but was stopped by an investigator. "Don't you see the tape here kid? No entering." He demanded. That's when the policeman from earlier came up behind me, "He's allowed. Friend of the victims." Richie turned his head really fast, "Victim!?" Richie slightly yelled, "What the hell are you talking about!?" He asked loudly. "Come, I'll explain everything." He's heard that before, just can't remember when.

Richie does as said, he follows. He is brought to the same table where Sonia's sister brought him. They both sit down, in the same spots as before, just this time instead of an clearly overweight woman, its a man with a gun.

"So?" Richie asked looking at him straight in the eye. The cop sighed, "Eddie and Sonia Kaspbrak have been reported as missing." That made Richie's eyebrows go up. "What!?" He yelled out making everyone look at him. "We have suspicion on this woman claiming to be Sonia's sister. Records say she doesn't have a sister named Stacey." He wasn't sure why he was telling a teenage boy all this but it felt right.

"Are they gonna be okay!?" He asked desperately. "I'm sure they will be." He reassured him. Richie thought for a second, "Let me help." He demanded. "What?" The cop asked the boy. "Let me help." Richie repeated himself. "I'm sorry but I can't do that." He shook his head. "Let me fucking help!" Richie demanded more. "I think it's time for you to leave. We will let you know when the two are found." The cop stood up and lead Richie to the door. He dragged him outside and told him to go home.

Richie didn't want to give up that easily but he didn't have much of a choice. He walked over to his bike and picked it up, getting on it he gave a dirty look to the police officer. He then rode it home and went to his bedroom.

"What the fuck am I meant to do?" Richie thought to himself. He looked around not knowing what to do. That's when he remembered, the diary.

Richie walked over to his desk and opened the top drawer to reveal the diary he had forgotten about. He picked it up, closed the drawer, and sat on his bed cross-legged.

He was hesitant to open the book but did it anyways. Flipping through the pages, Richie doesn't find anything helpful. All there is are complaints about his mother and this so called crush he has. He failed to mention the crushes name so Richie had no idea who it could be.

Richie made it to the last page with writing in it, it had key information.

'I don't have time for the dear Diary shit, there's someone in my fucking house. I heard my mom scream and after that she went silent. I am hiding in my closet and I'm fucking terrified. I'm going to sneak out my window now. I decided I'll hideout at..'

The writing stopped there. "Where!?" Richie thought to himself, over and over again. Richie decided to go to sleep and figure it out in the morning. He would search the whole world if that's what it took to find Eddie.

"Fuck I miss Eds." Richie said outloud.
