The Shield One-Shots Book 3

The Bully And The Nerd Pt28/Ambrollins

Seth sat silently beside Robert on the couch, Roman and Randy stood beside the couch one on either side of them as if they were guarding them, while they spoke to the two Detectives. After being unable to find Dean anywhere or get ahold of him, they had called the Police to report him missing. Seth was a complete wreck, it wasn't like Dean to not answer any of their calls and he was terrified that something bad had happened to him. He kept everything inside though, wanting to be strong for Robert, who was going crazy with worry.

Roman and Randy had arrived at the same time and Seth had met them outside, they had talked for a few seconds, before they hugged and went inside to wait for the Police to arrive. Minutes later, instead of Officers, two Detectives; Grant Landings and Tom Miller, arrived at the house. After letting them in and the introductions were over, they all went into the living room to talk.

"Alright, so, Dean left last night to go somewhere, do any of you know what time that was?" Landings asked.

"No, sir, we were all here hanging out, we were supposed to watch a movie together, but Dean got sick, so we all left." Randy said. "He...he must have left sometime after we did."

"What time did you guys leave?"

"Uh...10:30, I think." Randy answered.

"Yeah, it was 10:30, I remember seeing the time when I texted my parents and told them I was on my way home." Seth added.

"Did he say anything about meeting up with anyone?" Miller asked.

"No, he was sick and told us he was just going to go to bed to sleep it off. He didn't mention anything to any of us about going anywhere else." Roman answered.

"What about you, Mr. Ambrose?" Miller asked. "Where were you?"

"Flying home from a business trip, I didn't get back home until late." Robert replied.

"Okay, so, none of you have been able to contact him?" Miller questioned.

"No, and his car was gone last night when I got home." Robert said upset. "Look, Detectives, I know you must see this all the damn time, teenagers running away, but that's not my boy. My son is a good kid, yeah, he's had his share of problems...no, he's had more than his share of problems, because of his mother and me, but despite his shit past he's a good kid. He didn't run away, he doesn't do drugs or drink excessively, please, you have to believe us, he wouldn't just take off like this and make us worry."

"Look, Mr. Ambrose, you're right, we do see this kind of thing every day and not just with teens who have rough home lives, even kids with great parents and money run away. And, I have to be honest with you all, right now we have nothing that proves that he didn't just leave. That doesn't mean though, that we aren't taking this seriously, we are and we're going to an investigation and do everything in our power to bring him home to you all safely." Landings said.

"Thank you, Detectives, please, find my boy and bring him home to us. He's all I have left in this world." Robert said sadly.

"We will, but we need to know everything about him to help us find him. Did Dean have any enemies? Anyone that would want to do something to him?" Miller asked, Seth, Roman, and Randy shared a look. "Judging by your reaction I'm guessing he did?"

"Dean was a great guy, but he did have two enemies." Roman said sighing. "Two of them, our old Principal, Mr. Kincaid, and an old friend of ours, John Cena. Both of them got into a lot of trouble for doing things to try and get Dean expelled from school. It didn't work and the Police were involved." He explained.

"Alright, looks like we have our first two suspects already." Miller said, as he wrote down the names.

"We're also going to need Dean's cell phone number and your permission, Mr. Ambrose, to get his phone records, so we can check out who he's been in contact with. As well as the make, model, and license plate number of his car, so we can get an APB out it on." Landings said.
