"Get in! Kids" said Mr. Chad, how did I end up skipping school with them, they all pushed through me to get inside the car, and Mr. Chad came outside of the car.
"Easy kids, Leo you can sit in the front seat," said Mr. Chad holding the door for me, everyone looks shocked, Is it because of me?
"Thank you," I said as he closed the door, Lucas leaned towards me as soon as Mr. Chad closed it.
"What type of magic have you been doing on him? " whispered Lucas, and quickly sat back when he noticed Mr. Chad coming inside the car.
"You guys know the plan right?" asked Mr. Chad looking at us, everyone nodded except me. This is my first mission after all.
" Any updates on this Noah?" asked Lucas, Mr. Chad is driving fast, looks like we are in an emergency.
"According to the news this morning and our investigation on this, she was last seen at her best friend's place," said Noah while going through his tablet with investigation files.
"Have you questioned all the girls who were at the party?" asked Mr. Chad, while his eyes are focused on the road.
"Yes, Sir I and Olivia were at their place last Friday questioning them. But it seems like they don't know anything about the disappearance of Eliana," said Oliver from the back seat.
I have so many questions regarding this matter and the disappearance of this girl name 'Eliana'. But I am more concerned about how Mr. Gilbert will react when he sees us.
" May I ask a question? " I asked concerned, and everybody just started staring at me, it feels weird when everyone's eyes are on you.
"Sure you can ask anything, you are a part of the team now," said Mr. Chad politely, and I can sense everyone giving me questionable looks. Did I do something to offend them or Is it because of Mr. Chad's behavior towards me?
"Mr. Chad you are a police officer right?" I asked nonchalantly, he just nodded while being focused on the road, the traffic is more than usual today since the headlines, and people are gathered around Eliana's house.
"Why did the news about Eliana's disappeared spread today, although she has been missing for a month now?" I asked concerned, while the others tried to listen attentively.
"Because her mother reported the incident last Thursday, what are you trying to highlight here?" asked Mr. Chad while giving me a serious look, he is always so cheerful afar from that office disaster of course, but I must admit that he is pretty serious about his work.
" Why didn't her mother report this earlier, it's the 12th of August today if I am not wrong she reported the case on the 7th of August which means 1 month and 2 days after she disappeared," I said, explaining the fact that the report itself is suspicious enough.
"So you are trying to say that Mrs. James has something to do with this case?" asked Mr. Chad, while the others are collecting their thoughts on this matter.
I nodded in agreement and he pull over his car to some empty place and asked us to lower our voices, he is making a call, and we can still see Mrs. James' house from there... The windows are pretty dirty, could it be Eliana's room? It must be because of the purple and pink wallpaper which is seen even from this far... I wonder why Mrs. James doesn't clean it anymore. This makes me think she has something to do with her daughter's disappearance even more.
After a few seconds, the person on the other side of the call picked up.
"Hello?" said Mr. Gilbert, as we all heard his voice on speaker, I see he was calling him.
" We have an emergency," said Mr. Chad in his raspy voice.
