The light in my darkness ✅

🌕CHAPTER 12🌑

I know I've been off for a while. I had work and family drama to attend to. I even had writer's block. I had a lot on my mind so that's why.  I miss you guys.

Hey siri🗣 play suspenseful tone

Third persons point of view

The sound of a train horn echoed through the hills. A lonely house stood in the center of a forest, a iron gate have been build around it ; maybe to stop the wolves from entering? Who knows? Why would someone build a house on a area that is not an any map?

İnside a white square - like, empty room, Caroline turn on the floor. She woke up with a start and a pain in her neck. She groan and crick her neck to the side. Her eyes felt hot adjusting to the bright light. Everything in her head screamed caution.

They say at the lowest moment in your life, you either chose to hold on to the little strength you have, or you broke down and cry, one thing for certain is you will know when the lowest moment hits you.

Everything came rushing back to her at once as she struggled on her feet, bracing herself with strength, forcing her eyes to adjust to the light.

"He must have sedate me," she mumbled. Her red hair went loose from the pony tail but she had no idea how.

"Matilda!" Suddenly not caring about the light, she rushed toward the walls, pushing at it with her palms, nothing moves.

"Matilda! Where are you?" A pain of agony ripped through her chest. She had been through so much, yet still she have never felt so hopeless.

If only Caroline knew what Matilda had to do. She was forced to keep quiet. Walter had caught a cold shoulder and backed out at the last minute to involved Matilda. After knocking out Caroline, he firmly told Matilda that if she gives any detail about her whereabouts her sister will be killed by the end of the night. 'So much can happen in one day,' he told her, so she was  obliged to silent.

After locking Caroline away he return with a quiet Matilda to report to Pauline; his partner, and cousin of years in crime. He explained to an angry Pauline, at that same moment Matilda was in his car, her mouth taped and her hands tied. It was not easy for Walter, he was starting to think the hot cocaine is getting to Pauline's head.

"You can't be that far gone, Pauline, this is a kid, a fucking kiiiid. I'm not doing it, she is out of it."

"You are getting weak, Walter that police work is changing you. Those mother fucker needs to pay for what they did to our family. "  Pauline had said, remembering everything.

Knowing how hard it was for her when she found out the same morning she met Talat, that he was the reason why her family got locked up. No one is as bitter as she is. She wants something done when it is finished.  Her goals is to ruin Caroline for looking so much like her mother, knowing that Vince stills care for a dead woman and  ruin Talat for interfering in her life.

"Matilda hasn't done anything Pauline, the innocent girl is in the car right now, I think her eyeball is stretching all the way to Paris, that's how scared she is."

"Fine, okay then, I'll get the door open and you get her inside, I'll tell you my mind another time, you fucking soft cotton."

It seems that she was the only one in control, everything else was spinning, going too fast or too slow. Vince was quarreling with Talat, meanwhile trying to keep his voice down in the library.
Too bad Talat is nowhere near calm. He couldn't believe that Vince took so long to tell Caroline. She had a brother from another mother.

"I'm telling you Pauline is outside, Talat, with a fucking man, my daughters are missing and I  can't even tell my fucking son. One of my daughters killed someone and am here doing nothing! You shouldn't have the guts to..."

A scream sounded from upstairs.

"What the fuck is she going to pretend about now?" Vince whispered in disgust. His voice sounded so funny Talat burst out laughing. His was hysterical which caused Vince to hang up.

He rushed up the stairs and saw Pauline saucer eyes staring at him.

"I found Matilda outside! I knew it! You left my baby with that police man and look what happened!" Pauline screamed at him, tears running down her eyes.

Matilda eyes begged him not to believe anything, but he was too happy to see her for him to see her pleading eyes.

Talat's point of view

As soon as Vince hangs up on me, my smile vanished. It's time I do something, something off the record.

I checked the watch and it shows Ten minutes after one. So much can happen in a day. In just a couple of hours, I found myself caring for someone. I must admit this isn't me.

I dialled a number from memory.

"Cross speaking," A deep voice said, using his code name. His accent not so polished.

"Volkan, I need you to gather all the numbers that I've given you, add it to a group call right now."

"Give me a minute," He disconnect the call. I shut down the computer, thinking there is no other way out. A rhythm of danger beat in my head. There is always a time to take out the bad cop in me.

I closed the office with a grim jaw. I walked pass the boss office, Chattering could be heard around, some in nearby offices and some sitting idly. Those of who works night shifts.

I walked down the stairs. The place went silent.

"Do not tell me anything about the dead body, but I want to know everything about my car, copy?"

Head were nod around and I leave the room. I knew they wanted to wish me a bless morning, as usual, but I wouldn't tell me either, with such a look on my face.

My ringtone goes off and I answered.

"Good night or good morning, which ever one you feel please. I need everyone of you searching the area, from east to west, from north to south, gather as many men. I'll send a picture of a girl you need to find by the next morning."

"Talat? Do you mind telling me-"

"It's one of Vince's daughter."

"What? How? When? What the hell is going on up there?"

"Boys are we clear?" I asked the grown men. I knew it was more than thirty of gang men on the call.

"I need a hacker, if you can't find any, I'll do it myself. I need to know every details of every unknown area. I want every data on a bastard name Kyle Watler. I'll give you a contact, I want every files  in his phone to be searched. Locate every camera he has. Copy?"

"Yes, boss," one of them answered.

"Get going," I hang up.

" Talat? Talk to me. What is going on?"

This is my cousin. The one that always try to get under my skin.

"How is Akim?"

"That is not what I asked about! Talat. I will report to gran-"

"No!" Him reporting to Grandmother will be the end of me. I no longer have my car so how can I face her? How can I tell her I found out how horrible her son in law is? What type of father- I shook my head.

"Talat."

" There is much going on. I don't even know if I should go home or stand up here in front of the station all night."

"Hold on -" I was put on hold for a minute.

"Scott found a building  but there is no entry," Volkan said.

"What do you mean?"

"It's not on the map, there is no door. It's just locked."
