"Night night baby, I love you" Travis pressed a kiss to Taylor's forehead. Little did he know that would be the last time he'd ever see her alive again.

Pop superstar, Taylor Swift aged 34, went missing from her bodyfriend, Travis Kelce aged 34s, home in Kansas City on Friday night.

Travis paced around his living room anxiously, wringing his hands as he went. It had been one day. One whole day since Taylor had gone missing.

Flashback

Travis woke with a start. He turned over, ready to pull Taylor close and fall back asleep, but there was nothing there. Her side of the bed was empty, however still warm. He climbed out of bed, deciding to go and see where she was. Probably just in her music room; that's where she was usually.

He was halfway down the corridor when suddenly there was a crash downstairs, followed by a scream. Taylor's scream.

Travis raced to the top of the stairs, hurtling himself down them and stumbling into the kitchen. It was empty. He ran into the living room, his breath catching in his throat at the sight.

The window smashed, glass scattered across the floor and the curtain blowing in the wind. There was blood, streaked along the carpet. And it was empty.

"Taylor!?" Travis screamed, running out of the house and down the driveway. But she was gone.

End of flashback

Travis had watched all those true crime documentaries, and every single one mentioned how the first 24 hours were crucial. How, after that, the chances of finding the victim alive were lowered significantly. It had already been 24 hours and no sign of Taylor, but Travis still held out hope.

He glanced at the clock, realising he had to be at the police station in less than ten minutes. He quickly gathered his things and left the house, already knowing he was going to be late.

He entered the station and went straight to Detective Benson's- the detective assigned to Taylor's case- room, greeting the receptionist as he passed. He entered the room after knocking, finding Andrea and Scott already there.
"Hey" he smiled sadly, taking a seat next to them.
"Hi honey" Andrea smiled, but Travis could still see the pain in her eyes.

"Now that you're all here, I will start" Detecive Benson smiled comfortingly at the trio, and Travis managed a small smile back.
"So, we have a lead. Darren Jonas, aged 48; he had made threats to Taylor previously, and was also spotted in your area in Friday night. He also roughly fits the description, and has been arrested for other offences previously" the detective read off a folder in front of her.
"What offences?" Travis asked.
"I don't think you want to know" Detective Benson warned him, but he urged her on.
"Rape, sexual assault and he was a suspect for a murder" The silence that engulfed the room was deafening.

"We have a couple of links that we will be investigation after I've finished with you, but the best you can do is pray for her. I will do my absolute best to try and make sure she comes home safe and sound" She forced a smile once more before leaving the room.

"Travis?" Andrea broke the silence, smiling sweetly. "Would you like to come over for lunch?" Travis looked into her pain filled eyes and knew he couldn't refuse.
"Of course" he smiled warmly, helping her up and leading her and Scott out the room.
