Missing

Taken

I got up early the next day to go do some research on what was happening to me. I took a shower and blow dried my long hair. When I was finished my hair was completely wavy and looked fairly good so I left it alone.

I pulled on a tanktop and a pair of sweat pants, before running out to my car and checking for any place that someone could be hiding. Once I was sure no one was there I jumped in and buckled up before heading off to the library to look for hints as to what was going on with this situation.

I was the one in the library this early and I was hoping someone else would be here. I twisted my hair up in a bun and pulled my glasses out of my bag. I logged onto the library computer and started searching for stalking cases. I came up empty and realized I needed more than a simple old library database. I needed the police databases.

I thought about possible ways to get into it when I remembered that the police officer working my case was the father for a girl I went to school with. I whipped out my phone and looked for her number. I was going to make an excuse to hang out at Tiffany's house to try and get my hands on some of the case files from town or maybe if I was lucky I would get the password that Mr. Richards uses for his police systems.

I texted Tiffany and asked her if she wanted to hang out today. She was more than excited and agreed but she told me she had to do some conditoning for cheerleading. I told her I would go with her but I had to go home and change but I would meet her at her house in a bit.

I gathered up my bag and keys and headed of for my car to change into some workout clothes. I drove home in a slight daze thinking of how this weirdo has changed my life so much. I finally managed to get home and when i got there the front door was slightly open.

I slowed down and eased into my driveway. I left the car car running and got out slowly and quietly clutching my made as I tiptoed up to my front door. I was holding my breath. I pushed the door open a little more. Nothing seemed to have been disturbed.

I walked into the hallway keeping my back to the wall the whole time. I kept making my way through my kitchen when I heard a noise outside near the pool.

I grabbed a knife off the counter and crept to the patio door. I counted to three then swung the door open and jumped out ready to fight.

I almost threw up when I saw the scene before me. Tyler was laying in a lounge chair and some girl was ontop of him. It was clear exactly what they were doing. Tyler's swimming trunks were tossed near the door and there was a bikini laying near it.

I covered my mouth but the breath I'd being holding came out as a scream. The girl jumped up and spun around to face, givinig my a full frontal veiw of Rachel. I covered my mouth and Tyler covered his junk with is hands.

Rachel just smirked at me and Tyler looked pissed. "What the hell Maxx?!" He yelled.

"I could ask you the same thing." I said lowering the knife in my hand. "You left the front door open dipshit. With everything that's going on did you really think that this little booty call was a good idea?" I asked angrily.

I turned around and stormed up to my room to change. I almost passed out when i came back down stairs. Tyler and Rachel were now making out on the couch and I went to walk out the door and I noticed my keys and a note setting on table near the door.

"You shouldn't leave your car on little girl, your luck with your car isn't very good. Remember what happened last time."

I walked back in the living room and asked if Ty had turned off my car. He gave me a wierd look and said they hadn't left the livingroom.

I was scared again and asked Ty to walk me out to my car, He didn't want to and Rachel called me a baby and told me to stop whining.I slowly made my way over to the front door. I made sure no one was around and I made my way to my car. I looked all around it again and again to make sure it hadn't been tampered with.

Nothing was out of the ordinary so I got in and drove the twenty minutes to Tiffany's house. She was waiting outside near her own car. She was wearing a bright pink sports bra and track shorts She grabbed a tanktop of her front seat out of a gym bag and pulled it on. She turned to go and lock her front door and as she walked her long auburn hair skimmed back and forth across the top of her shorts.

I had never really noticed how pretty Tiffnay really was. I was brought out of my thinking when she tapped my shoulder and started laughing.

"You zone out alot." she giggled and started walking towards the jogging pathes near us. I followed her and soon we started jogging. I had longer legs than Tiffany so I was faster. I tried to stay next to her but I kept pulling head. She noticed that I kept slowing myself and told me just to go we'd meet up further ahead.

I started jogging at my normal pace and soon Tiffany was pretty far behind me. I just kept running and soon I was alone on the pathes.

I retch a nice little clearing and sat down on a log to wait for Tiffany. Twenty minutes went by and she still didn't show up. I got up and started back tracking on the trail. I made it back to where we had started running and there was no sign of Tiffany.

I started panicking. I turned around and ran back onto the trail.

I started screaming her name and running frantically down the path. I could see through the trees all around me and she was nowhere to be found.

"Tiffanyyyyyy!" I yelled cupping my hands around my mouth.

I got no answer. I yelled a few more times then started running the path, maybe somehow I had missed her, and she made it past me. I kept running until I retch the clearing again. I started walking threw it when I saw something pink in the grass on the other end of the feild.

I ran over to it and I collapsed in terror. It was Tiffany's clothes. They were cut right down the middle. Her shorts, tanktop and bra laid right there in front of me.Her phone and arm band was laying a few feet away with a note.

"Blame yourself Maxx, you got her involved."

I looked around for any signs of her. I started to cry.

"You bastard! She had nothing to do with this!" I screamed louder as the tears started pouring down my cheeks.

"If you want me come and get me! Stop being a coward! Take me and let her go." I knew my screams were pointless. I knew Tiffany was long gone.

I grabbed Tiffany's phone and called the police. I told them where I was and I sat there on the ground crying until they showed up.

Tiffany's father came first. He was in uniform and he looked panicked.

"Maxx where is she?"

"He....he took her." I sobbed. frantically.

"Who! Who took her Maxx?" he asked shaking me by my shoulders.

"I.....I don't know the man whose stalking me." I whispered.

"Maxx that's my baby! My little girl!! Maxx why!? Why would you drag her into this!" He was squeezing my shoulder tightly and they started to ache.

"You're hurting me!" I said as tears streamed down my face.

He let me go and took the note from beside me on the ground. He looked it over and called for back up. I sat there on the ground for a long time. Officer Richards wouldn't even look at me, it was like he blamed me for Tiffany getting taken. It wasn't my fault though....I didn't get her involved on purpose.If anything I was trying to get him involved again not her.

After they took my statement and Officer Richards let me go but not before telling me to stay with someone at all time, I was let go and taken to my car to go home..

My parent's and Tyler were waiting for me at my house. My mom cried when she saw me, apperently they hadn't been told exactly who was kidnapped, just that one of us was.

My mom hugged me as tightly as she could and my dad went to talk to the cops. Mom rushed me in the house and Tyler sat with me in the livingrom while the cops looked over my phone, computer and car for evidence.

I sat in my room in silence for a long time before I finally fell asleep and all I dreamed about all night was a pair of deep blue eyes swallowing Tiffany up and then blackness surrounding everything.
