Nyefield University pt 2

Chapter 5

Dax day after run in with Chad
I head back up to the farm instead of lessons again, I need to be somewhere no one is going to overhear my conversation on the phone. I take a quad bike this time, and I head up through the forest I chased Charlie in and make my way to the top of the hill. Checking the phone, it has signal thank god. Then I do the one thing I never thought I would do. I ring the police, and not just any police, no the met. I need to go to the top of the top. Somehow Harry had a number for me to use, I don't question that man anymore. He seems to be one of the few good ones. The phone starts to ring, and I get more and more nervous the longer the phone rings for. Eventually someone picks up and I explain who gave me the number and why I need to speak to someone urgently. I'm passed across to someone else who gets me to explain everything. By the time I've done that and they've asked all the questions they need to it's around midday and the sun is beating down on me. I decide to head to see Harry and let him know I made the call. I feel better knowing we're one step closer to getting this place investigated. I don't know exactly what's going on but I'm determined to find out.

Harry is very pleased that I got through to the correct people. He informs me he's an ex undercover cop. He retired but when this job offer came up he thought it sounded like a good deal, helping prisoners learn the values of farming. House and pension included. I guess some people and teachers are genuine and not part of whatever this place secretly is.

I head back down to the garage and decide to crack on with some work as I haven't done anything in a while and this time there's no one hiding in here having secret conversations. I spend the rest of the afternoon working on the cars when the phone rings at about 4pm. I hide in the little office and answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hello is this Dax?"

"Yes it is."

"Perfect. Well I hope you'll be glad to know that Nyefield is actually already under investigation and all the information you have provided has sped this up massively I don't know how you acquired it but maybe when this is all over we can talk about maybe offering you a job here? That's very impressive work."

"I'm okay thanks. Any news on my missing friends?"

"We're working on that. I can't tell you any more than that unfortunately. We are sending officers in tomorrow to carry out a more indepth investigation. This will be unannounced so I apologise in advance for any chaos that happens. But once again Dax, thank you." And they hang up on me. I finish up the car I'm working on before heading back to the house. I hate how it feels with none of them here so I sleep most nights in Charlie's room, surrounded by her smell. Occasionally I'll sleep in one of the twins rooms but they'll probably rip me a new one when they find that out. I shower, grab a book from the library and get in Charlie's bed. Hopefully I'll have you back in here soon Bambi.

The next few days are complete and utter chaos, lessons are postponed, half the teachers and faculty are arrested, some have gone on the run and the rest have no fucking clue what's going on. Ben has disappeared and it appears all the people who 'ran' this place were involved too. It's nearly a week before we're told Nyefield prison is closing down. We will all stay here for 2 months to receive therapy for what we've been through but for now just live our lives as we have been. Lessons are all cancelled but if we want to work we can, the government is going to pay us if we do, the rest of us will get benefits.

No one will tell me anything about the investigation into Charlie and the twins disappearances though, I keep getting told to 'sit tight'. Like shut the fuck up, the only three people in the world that I care about are missing. I'm half convinced my dad isn't actually dead and has taken them for some trafficking ring. It's my only explaination. I try to keep occupied on the farm and in the garage, alot of students have decided not to work any more even though 90% of them haven't actually dealt with any trauma so Harry is really short staffed. It's just over three weeks since they went missing when Harry pulls me aside one day.
