《Captivated by Hatred》(Vance hopper)

who, what, when, where, and why?

"WHERE IS MY GOD DAMN SON!" Ellise yelled from infront of the sheriff's office desk. her hair in a messy ponytail and dark circles around her eyes. she hadn't slept since her son didn't come back two nights ago.

"ma'am, we don't know where your son is. wer are trying to figure out where he is. we're doing all we can ms.hopper" he said and she slammed her hands on the desk.

"bull fucking shit, you guys are sitting on your ass right now not doing anything to find my boy!" She yelled, a vain popping on her neck. the officer just shook his head.

"ma'am I can assure you th-" as he said that angel Arellano, melinas uncle, walked throught the door with Robin close behind him. the officer sighed and looked at the two.

"no, we haven't found your daughter yet mr.arellano" the officer said and angel muttered stuff under his breath in Spanish.

"she's not my daughter she's my niece, and you better find something about this." he said pointing at him.

"mr.arellano, please stop coming in everyday. we will update you if we find anything regarding Melina." the office said sounding annoyed.

"and you ms.hopper. we will update you if we find anything regarding vance." he said and detective Wright walked into the lobby. he looked up from a stack of papers to see the 3 distressed people in the lobby.

"no, I won't stop until my niece is found!" angel said and Ellise nodded.

"Angel? Ellise?" detective Wright said and the two adults looked over to see a familiar face. the two relaxed as much as they could considering the situation.

"wright?" they both said in unison. a slight smile tugging on both of their lips.

"long time no see you guys. what brings you to the office?" he says walking over to the desk, waving the other officer that they were yelling at away.

"my son is missing" Ellise said on the verge of tears.

"and so is my niece" Angel said and detective Wright shook his head sorryly.

"I'm so sorry about that you two. here, I'll take on the case myself. know that those two are in good hands" he said writing it down on a sticky note. the two sighed and smiled as they nodded. "in the mean time I'd recommend keeping this one inside for a while and maybe see what you guys can all gather together then bring it to me later." he said and the two nodded.

"what can we do to help?" Angel said and detective write thought for a second.

"make posters, knock on doors, ask around, figure out where they were last. that's all I can think of" he said and the two sighed and nodded, sad they couldn't do more to help.

"thanks wright" angel said shaking his hand before being pulled into a hug by the detective himself.

"of course" he said hugging Ellise and patting her head. "Stay strong you two. it won't help if you both are crying in your rooms" he said and they nodded and began walking away.

Angel offered for Ellise to stay with them and she gladly took up the offer. Her house was quiet and empty without her little boy walking around telling her story's and complaining about something.

"you can stay in this room" Angel said gesturing to a door next to Melinas room. when Ellise opened the door she immediately recognized the room. it was isabellas room. she could tell by the pacman posters and the photos of her and her family and friends plastered on the walls. her pink and white vanity still had make up, left just the way it was when she went missing. clothes had been picked up and the floor had been vacuumed but everything else stayed where she last set it. her bed neatly made and her record still where she last stopped it. Ellise smiled and looked around. she walked up to the wall with pictures and looked at them.

"she sure did grow" Ellise said and Angel sniffled.

"yeah, she grew up pretty fast" he said looking around the room himself.

"I'm sorry that you have to go through this" Ellise said and angel shook his head.

"don't be sorry, your going through the same things" Angel said and Ellise nodded.

"you think they're okay?" Ellise added as she sat down on the corner of the bed as Angel leaned on the door frame. He nodded.

"vance is a pretty strong kid" Angel said and Ellise nodded.

"yeah, he gets it from his dad though. Melina is a very smart girl" Ellise answered and angel laughed.

"yeah, she definitely got that from Elena" he said looking at the ground while nodding his head. Ellise smiled at the mention of an old friend.

"Elena always surprised me. She was smart but so childish" she said and Angel nodded vigerously.

"absolutely, she couldn't take anything seriously" he said, talkinf about his twin sister.

"David was smart too" Ellise said and angel nodded.

"he was everything good in a person. Robin was lucky to have him as a dad. Robin reminds me alot of his dad" Angel said and Ellise smiled.

"you guys were always so cheery together" she said and angel smiled.

"yeah I've heard that a few times" he said chuckling. Ellise nodded and sighed.

"you sure I can sleep in here? I don't mind taking the couch" she said offering to leave the room as it was. Angel shook his head.

"nah, your our guest and sometimes you gotta sacrifice the past to make room for the future" angel said standing up straight. Ellise recognized that quote. it was Elena's quote.

"you sounded just like her" Ellise said laughing and Angel laughed.

"that's what I get for living with her for 20 years" he said and Ellise laughed as Angel began to walk away.

"thanks for this Angel. I really needed someone" Ellise said and Angel nodded.

"of course, we both needed someone" he said walking away. she sighed and got up, turning off the light and going back and laying in the soft, sweet, surprisingly cold, bed.
