A Nochelle Pregnancy

Where are they?

Miss Kate's POV
Who is that? I walk closer to the two mysterious figures. They are dressed in yellow with a black body warmer and hat. Wait! Are those....no it can't be! Why would police men be at The Next step studio? Oh Phoebe! What have you done now? Ugh I guess I should go see what my sister has done. I straighten my skirt and press down the wrinkles in my jacket. Pushing my dark blonde hair behind my ear, I slowly walk up to the police men and tap one of them on the shoulder.
"Hi...hello, I'm Miss Kate-Phoebe's sister. So let's here what's she's done then?"
The two men looked at me with confusion.
"Phoebe, my sister! That is why you are here isn't it! Has she done yoga in the shopping isle again or has she stole another cat or-"
I was suddenly interrupted by one of the police men.
"Are you Miss Kate the owner of The next Step studio?"
"Yes? So is what my sister done serious? Should I be worried?....because we really can't afford to loose are choreographer"
"I'm sorry Kate, we aren't here about your sister" Really? Then why are you here.
"Oh!.....excuse me for asking, but why are you here then"
The two men looked at each other before one of them asked
"Maybe she should step into the office-for more privacy"
He then nodded his head in the direction behind me. I lift up my eyebrow and then turn around on one foot. All the dancers were standing at the entrance of the corridor. I can't believe it. I clap my hands.
" Dancers! Go practise your audition piece while me and these-" I look behind to the officers, giving them a smile before looking back at the dancers "- lovely policemen have a word in my office"
The dancers do not move. Really? Can they not take a hint. I clap hands repeatedly.
"Now!"
They slowly move away. I indicate for the police men to follow me. As I walk slowly to my office I can't help wonder why they are here? We soon make it into my office.
"Why don't you take a seat in those two chairs over there" I say pointing to two old, worn out chairs in front of my desk. I close the door to cancel out any noise before sitting in my chair behind the desk.
"Umm.....can I offer you anything to drink? Tea? Water?"
"No thank you" said one of the policemen. He then pulled out two pieces of paper and a notepad from inside one of his pockets. He flipped open the book and unfolded the two pieces of paper.
"We are here because we received a call from a concerned parent about her son being being missing"
I wonder...... my hands started to shake, and my throat went suddenly dry. Noah? The police man then handed me one of the sheets. There in the centre was an image of Noah. His dark brown hair was styled to perfection and he wore a big smile.
"Mrs Erlick rang the police at 3am this morning with a panicked voice to say that Noah was missing! He had apparently went out at about eleven to go get something from the shop. She told us he had been acting weird all evening and when she saw that he took his car to drive to the shop only down the street, she got nervous. She anxiously waited for an hour until she got so concerned that she decided to ring one of her old best friends.....Mrs Nolet"
He then unfolded the other piece of paper and handed it to me. Oh no! There in the centre was a picture of Richelle, her dark brown hair was in ringlets and she was wearing a dress.
"She asked if Noah was at her house" the policemen looked at each other before continuing.
"Mrs Nolet told her that Noah had came around her house at about ten past eleven to talk to Richelle. She let the two go outside the back to talk in privacy. But got concerned when Richelle didn't come back inside after a while. She told Mrs Erlick that when she went outside to get Richelle she was nowhere to be seen and neither was Noah"
The policeman shifted in his seat before saying.
"We have reason to believe that Noah and Richelle may have ran away together!"
I looked down at the table. My head suddenly became crowded with questions. What? Why would they run away? They were happy weren't they? Was it me? Did I do something?
"We would like to question some of the dancers?"
I kept staring down at the table.
"Kate...Kate!" The police man tapped on the table with a pencil. I jumped in surprise before resting my eyes on the two men.
"We would like to interview a view of their friends first....is that ok?"
I guess I'll have to have to call off the A-troupe auditions then. I nod my head. I slowly get of my seat and walk to the door to the office with the policemen following behind me.

Riley's POV
Why are the police here? After miss Kate took the policemen into her office, the dancers had split themselves into groups, casually talking about the mysterious new guests in the office.I'm sitting with James, he is in a discussion with Eldon. My head is on his shoulder with his arm around my waist. I can hear his heart thumping up and down, up and down. It's relaxing. Suddenly the door to the office opened and Miss Kate with her head focused on the ground and the two policemen walked into the studio. All talk seized to a stop. Many eyes flew around from their friends to look at Miss Kate. She slowly looked up from the hard wood floor to look at us. I could see her eyes were red. She cleared her throat.
"Umm......dancers. I have....uh.....some news" she said quietly.
"These policemen have informed me that umm Noah and Richelle......have ran away"
There was a sharp gasp from everyone in the studio. I looked up at James with a look of shock to see him looking at me with a matching expression. I slowly look around the studio to see the other dancers staring at each other with a mix of emotions. One of the policemen suddenly cleared his throat, and everyone turned their focus towards him.
"We would like to interview everyone in connection with Noah and Richelle"
"So that means A-troupe auditions have been cancelled" said Miss Kate.
"We will have them at another time"
One of the policemen slowly opened a little black book and grabbed a pencil.
"Did anybody speak to Richelle or Noah yesterday?"
I suddenly feel hundreds of eyes glance in my direction. Miss Kate turned her head towards the policemen before pointing an arm in my direction.
"Riley here, saw Noah and Richelle yesterday afternoon"
The police men looked at me, preparing their pencil to write down anything I said. I tried to talk but my mouth couldn't form any sentences. After a few quiet moments I found the confidence to speak.
" I found them in the music room, they were in a very intimate position"
The policemen looked at me with confusion before asking.
"What do you mean by intimate position?
" They were hugging, but I noticed something else. Richelle seemed to look sad, like she had been just crying"
The policeman wrote down everything I said.
"Did you hear what they were talking about?" they asked. I nodded my head saying
"No. Sorry"
"No thank you very much, this information may be very helpful in the search for Noah and Richelle"
"Did anybody else see them yesterday" the studio stayed quiet, the only sound which could be heard was heavy breathing. The policemen folded over the note pad before placing it into one of his pockets.
"Thank you all very much for your help. Your information will help us to find Noah and Richelle. Unfortunately we have to leave" Miss Kate showed them to the door. Why would Noah and Richelle run away? I feel tears starting to form in my eyes and soon I felt them drop down my face. James grabs me into a hug, pulling me tight into his chest. Wherever they are I hope they are safe?
