BECKY'S POV

"We found her wandering outside post 48." The guard says. I jerk my arm out of his grip and look up to the only plausible person that would know about my past.

"I'm happy to see you here, Becky." His voice says.

AUSTIN'S POV

"WHERE IS SHE?" I burst in the kitchen.

"Who?" Calum asks while eating his cereal.

"Sel's watching TV." Luke says.

"Not Sel." I huff impatiently.

"Ari's with Rob." Michael says.

"Not Ari either I'm-"

"Vanessa's in the computer room trying to find Andreas' location." Calum cuts me off.

"I'm talking about Becky! Where's Becky?" I shout.

"Last time I heard she was in her room sulking." Calum says.

"Sulking? Since when do you use big words?" Michael squints his eyes at him.

"Since we had a disagreement about conjugating verbs. I decided to pick up a dictionary." Calum mumbles.

"GUYS! Where's Becky?" I shout again.

"She's in her room. The place she's been for the last 48 hours...ssuuulllkkkiingg." Michael says in a sarcastic way. Calum glares at Michael.

"She's not there. I checked. Like, four times." I say to them. They all pause for a second and look at each other.

"Wait. Where's Alex? He was supposed to be on security detail last night." I mumble and run out the door.

"Alex!" I shout. I see Vanessa working on the computers and in a separate section of the computer room Alex is sleeping with Blair, his cat, on his lap. "Alex! Wake up!" I shout in his face. Alex flinches and wakes up groggily. Blair mews and walks away.

"What-What time is it?" Alex asks tiredly before yawning.

"Becky's gone. I need to see the tapes from last night." I tell him urgently. Alex rubs his head and starts typing away on the keyboard. I tap my foot impatiently. My heart is racing with the anticipation and my palms are sweaty.

"She left around 3 AM. I'm sure she just left to blow off some steam." Alex says.

"Can you find her?" I ask him.

"Why?" He asks. I frown at him.

"Because she could get hurt." I say to him.

"Or is it because she chewed through her leash." Alex says annoyed.

"Excuse me?" I ask angrily.

"You always strangle her with your constant need to have her near you. You're being clingy." Alex says.

"Clingy? Andreas is somewhere out there, Alex. He could have known our location this entire time just waiting for Becky to wander out on her own." I say to him.

"You need to chill out man. I understand you got to keep her safe, but you have to let her be on her own for a bit." Alex says.

"Fine. But, if she doesn't come back before dinner I'm going to beat the shit out of you." I say to Alex. He gulps and nods in agreement.
