How could I think that it would be easy to find Joey? It was going to be almost impossible! Where did I start? I had no idea where he was. If only I had a clue of some sort! At that moment, my phone started to ring in my pocket. I pulled it out. It was an unknown number. What did I do? I didn't know whether to answer it or not. It might be Joey.

"Jas, please help me!" I voice screamed through the phone at me. It was Joey.

"Joey! Where are you? I promise I'm coming to find you!" I said. My heart ached, I needed my brother. I needed him to be safe.

"It sounds like there's a lorry, it's like the beeping they make when they reverse. A-a-and there's this noise, it sound's like drilling but i'm not sure!" He wept. "Please help me Jas, they're coming! They going to hurt me again!"

"Joey, I'm coming, I promise! I would go to the ends of the earth if it means I have you!" I cried as the line went dead. Why could Joey hear drilling? Was he on a building site?

At that moment, I realised where Joey was. The old library. They were knocking it down to make space to build a block of flats! I had to save my brother, and fast!
