Clay arrived at Tommy's room.

There was basically no one there. Weird.

Only the class adviser was inside.

"Excuse me, but do you know where Tommy is?" Clay asked.

"Tommy? He didn't come in today. Is there anything wrong?" They asked.

"He must've woke up late and decided not to go to school. What an idiot." I muttered.

"Oh nothing. I was just checking. Thank you!" I replied.

I dashed straight home. This child is so in trouble.

"Tommy you f***ing Gremlin Child, where the f**k are you!?" Clay shouted.

But no response.

"Tommy, if you don't answer this instant, I'm gonna tell dad." Clay shouted once again.

He knew that was a good threat. He always got Tommy with that. But to no avail, there was no response.

Clay dashed to Tommy's room. And opened the door.

"Tommy you're in so much trou" No one was inside."-ble..." he finished.

"Oh no. I'm f***ed." Clay whispered.

Where could Tommy be? Did he run away? Was he hiding?

"Clay! I'm home!" His father called.

"Now I'm really f**ked." Clay muttered and ran down the stairs.

He dashed to his father, Schlatt. Tears forming in his eyes.

"Woah. You okay bud?" He asked.

"No I'm not" Clay managed to say between sobs.

"What happened?" Schlatt asked.

"Tommy... He's..." Clay starts.

"Tommy's what?" Schlatt stated in a stern voice.

"Tommy. He's gone..." Clay stated. And cried even more.

Schlatt stared at thin air. He didn't think this could happen.

"I-I'll call the police." Schlatt stated. His sad tone very obvious.

He picked up his phone and dialed the number.

"Las Nevadas police department, how may I help you?"

"My son. He's missing." Schlatt replied.

"We will send an officer over. May I ask your address?"

"Manberg Street, House no. 292" (idk how addresses work here.)

The call ended.

"It's not your fault. Clay." Schlatt reassured.

"Yes it is... I should've checked on him" Clay cried out.

A few minutes later. The policemen were here.

"Hello. Schlatt right?"

"Yes. Sir.. uhh.." Schlatt wondered what to call the man.

"Sam. Just Sam. Now what seems to be the problem here?" Sam answered. (For the record this is Awesamdude, not Dc_Enthusiast01)

"My son said that my other son was missing." He stated.

"May I ask him questions?" Sam asked for permission. Schlatt nodded.

"Uhm. Hello. I'm Officer Sam. What's your name?" He asked kindly.

"Clay..." The boy replied.

"May I ask, when you last saw your brother?"

"Last night..." Clay replied.

"When and how did you find out he was missing."

"Just this morning. I was shouting for him since we had school. But I got no answer. But a friend of mine called me. And insisted we go to school. So I left him because I knew he could manage. But when I went to pick him up, the teacher said he wasn't present. Then when I checked his room and the whole house. He was no where to be seen." Clay answered. Tears pouring down his face.

"Hmmm.. I see. Thank you for answering my questions. I will talk with your father now."

"Do you have a photo of them?" They asked.

"Oh uhm, yes. Here." Schlatt replied showing him his phone where the image of the missing child was seen.

"I'll just need you to fill this thing up. It's about personal information that we could use to find him."

Schlatt quickly answered it all and gave it back. They waved goodbye and left.
