Trapped

Chapter 9

Kiera's mom (Zoe)POV

I tried to call their phones hundreds of times and none of them were answering. I think Kiera's phone was off. John's went straight to voicemail.

It's been weeks since they left. They were supposed to come back a few days ago. I gave them some space, telling myself they lost track of time or something, they were having fun, But it's been too long.

All sorts of thoughts were going around my head, my heart started to beat rapidly. I picked up the phone and called 999.

💁999, what's your emergency?

📞Hi, my husband and daughter went camping at the start of the holidays and haven't been back since. They were supposed to come back about a week ago.

💁Ok, would you like to file a missing persons case.

📞Yes.

💁No problem. Could I have a contact number and your names and address?

📞Sure my name is Zoe Lawrence. My number is 0121 734 7492. I live at 736 Unicorn Road, In Avery. The people who are missing are my daughter Kiera Lawrence and my husband John Lawrence.

💁Ok, great. Could you please hold while I report that?

📞Ok.

💁🎶.........🎶

💁hello?

📞Yes?

💁I've filed the case and there will be available officers with you shortly ,just to get more details. ok?

📞Ok thank you.

💁No problem bye.

I put the phone down and sat there. Not knowing what to do, Minutes felt like hours.

Half an hour later there was a knock on the door. I looked through the window to see who it was. I saw a bright yellow, greenish jacket. I ran to open the door.
" Hello, Did you file a missing persons case?"

"Yes".

"Can we come in?" He asked gesturing to the living room with his hand.

"Yes, of course." I opened the door wider, as they both entered. It was two guys. One had brown short hair and one had blonde slightly longer hair. They both said thank you as they came in. They sat down and took out a note pad and pen.

The one with the brown hair asked me the questions, like 'when did they leave?' and 'what they were like?' When I was describing them a tear fell. I couldn't help it, I missed them so much.

"It's ok, take your time". He smiled and I nodded. He asked me a few more questions.

"Do you have a picture we could use?"

"Yes."

I walked upstairs in to Kiera's bedroom. She had a picture at her bedside, it was when we all went to the safari park together. I took it out the frame and kissed it. I wiped away another tear and headed back down stairs.

"This one." I handed it over to the man with the blonde hair.

He looked at it and smiled.
"Perfect."
They both walked out after they explained the next steps of the case.

"Do you have family you can stay with, for the time being, for support?"

"No, they're on holiday."

He smiled and nodded. We all said goodbye and they left. I shut the door and sat on the sofa. I just cried and cried, eventually I fell asleep.
