It Started With Hello

Chap. 134

"Hello this is Mona O'Connor is this Chris?" Mona said as soon as the other end picks up the phone Ms. Kit and Harry decided to go ahead with the search to find Emma. While Mr. Hatter decided to stay behind with her while she made the phone call. Hopefully  Chris would be of some help to them but to Mona's surprise a woman answers the phone "Um no I'm sorry this is Kandy who is this again?" Kandy said holding  Chris's phone to her ear sitting in the chair beside Chris's hospital bed. You can imagine how shocked Kandy was when she picked up the beaten Chris from the abandoned parking lot in the middle of the night. He tried to explain  to her eveything that happened but he was to on edge to hang on to just one detail. The most Kandy was able to understand was Emma has been kidnapped and Blake went to follow the car and that Chris got his ass kicked by some crazy bitch. She managed to calm him down by telling him to tell her more later after they get him looked over at the hospital. She was worried sick about Emma she made sure to text the girls and fill them in on the basic information she got. And even though she knew there was probably no point she tried called Emma's phone multiple times. She would probably go to see her parents and let them know what was happening when Chris fell asleep. She wasn't expecting anyone to call Chris he left out that detail in is panic. The doctor has just left the room after checking over his cuts giving him alot of pain medication he was in and out of sleep. Mona glanced over at James who gave her a raised brow she turned the phone on speaker "This is lieutenant Mona O'Connor is Chris around? I would like to ask him a question regarding your campsite" Kandy's eyes widen before looking over at Chris patting on his chest making him groan meeting her eyes. One look at her and he knew it was something serious sitting up on the bed "Yes he's right here one moment" she handed the phone to him. He took the phone clearing his throat "Hello is everything ok? How's Emma and Blake did you find them?" Kandy passed her hands tightly watching him. Mona wanted to tell him that eveything was fine...that's his friends where found safe unharmed and eveything was great. But that just wasn't the truth Blake was bleeding out heading to the hospital and Emma was still missing. James decided to speak up in her moment of pause "Blake is currently on the way to the hospital however Emma is still missing we are searching the wood right now" Kandy begins crying into her hands fearing for both her friends lives. Chris pats her back trying to calm her but his heart was also hurting Blake was his longest and best friend. Hearing that he was bleeding out somewhere was heartbreaking "I remember you said you knew this area well. Blake was trying to tell me something before they took him to the hospital. Something about loner....something do you have any clue what that could mean?" Kandy pulled her head out her hands looking up at Chris. She was praying for a miracle...and she wasn't even religious "Yes oh my god! there's this little hidden area near the lake. It's on the left and you'll have to push a few trees out the way. There will be a clearing he was probably talking about loner land that's what we call that area" Mona's and James eyes meet and they begin racing towards the lake. Chris and Kandy look at each other as they hear them running "Your brilliant thanks for your help..." Mona said before hanging up the phone sliding it back into her pocket. James turns on his flashlight shinning it around pointing towards the grass and tree's. They take a few minutes to scan the area before he calls out to her "Mona...look" she goes to stand behind him looking at the splotches of red blood. He bends down looking more closely "Blood and it looks fresh it goes in that direction lets go" he stands back up moving towards the trees. She looks at him in amazement a moment before following after "Were you always this observant?" how could  he have noticed the dark blood against  the green grass? It was dark as hell out here and it was only a few drops. He laughs softly pushing some trees out the way for her "I'm the observant one...I guess that makes you the oblivious one huh?" he grins continuing forward she has been completely oblivious to him liking her for the past two years. She raised a brow not agreeing with him she wasn't oblivious she would have totally found that blood before him if she hadn't been looking near the lake.

Mia note- Poor James I'm sure she'll notice one day!🤣😅
