Chapter Eightteen

I was awake, but it felt weird. I heard some voices, but they were too far away for me to hear what they were saying. The smell of cigarettes and alcohol entered my nose. After a few minutes I managed to open my eyes. I looked around. It was very dark, but I immediately knew it wasn’t my room. How did I get here? I couldn’t remember. I tried to get up, but I was held back by a pair of handcuffs, which connected my left hand with the bed. I began to panic. “Help!!!” Someone walked into the room. “Be quiet”, he commanded. I wasn’t really sure, but I thought I had heard that voice before. “Where am I?”, I asked. “Somewhere”, he said, his voice hard and cold. “Where is somewhere?”, I asked, and I immediately realised I shouldn’t have asked that, because I felt his hand hit my face. “Shut the fuck up, will you?!!!”, he screamed. I quickly nodded, not wanting to be hit again. He walked out of the room. What did I do wrong? What happened before I got here? Thousands of questions prowled around in my head. I felt a tear escaping my eye and rolling down my cheek. I laid down and fell asleep a few minutes later.

Harry’s POV

 I was already waiting for half an hour, when a man walked towards me. “Can I help you?”, he asked. “Yes, I-” He cut me off. “Let’s discuss it in my office”, he said and turned around. “Follow me.” I followed him to his office. “Sit down. Can I offer you a cup of tea?”, he asked. “No, thank you”, I said and I sat down. He sat down at the other side of the table. “How can I help you?” “Well.. My girlfriend is missing..”, I said. “Oh? And how did that happen?”, he asked. “We were at a club, and I left her alone for a little while, and when I returned, she wasn’t there anymore. The barkeeper said he had seen a guy who took her with him”, I explained. “Hm, I see.. And how do you know it was her? I mean the girl who was taken by that man?” “Well, the barkeeper discribed him, and I am sure it was her ex-boyfriend.” “What’s is her ex-boyfriend’s name?”, he asked. “George”, I answered. “And what’s your girlfriend’s name?” “Jade” “And how long ago did this happen?” “Ehm… About 8 hours ago, I think..”, I said. “Well, then I’m very sorry, but I can only help you if she is missing for 24 hours or longer”, the officer said. I looked at him in disbelief. “What?! My girlfriend is missing, she was taken by her ex-boyfriend, and I don’t want to know what he will do to her, or maybe is already doing to her now, but I just want her to be save, I want to know where she is!!”, I yelled. “Please, calm down, if she is still missing in 16 hours, we will start searching”, he said. I couldn’t believe this. “I’ll not calm down untill you are going to search for her!!!!”, I yelled even harder. “I’m really sorry”, the officer said. I wanted to scream in his face and throw things to him, but I held in. I got up and walked out of the office, out of the police station. I began to run, but I stopped after a few minutes. Where could I go? Who could help me? I didn’t know. Nobody knew where George lived… Wait.. Steve knew him!! I grabbed my phone and typed in his number. I waited. “Hello?” “Steve!! It’s Harry. I need your help”, I said. “Well, tell me,what do you want me to do?”, he asked. “You know George, right?”, I asked. “George.. Hm I don’t know..” “That guy, with the short hair and the tattoos, you know?”, I said. “Oh, him! Well yeah, I don’t know him personnaly, but yeah, I have seen him a few times. He obiously likes a drink.” He laughed at his own joke, but I couldn’t laugh about it. “Steve, he has taken Jade with him, and I don’t know where he lives, I don’t know where he took her, Jade doesn’t answere her phone..”, I said. Steve immediately stopped laughing. “Are you serious? Wow, I- I didn’t expect that.. I just- I’m sorry mate, I didn’t know that..”, he said. I nodded, but stopped when I realised he couldn’t see that. “What do you want me to do?”, he asked. “Does he have a drink every night?”, I asked. “Well, yeah, I’m not always here, but when I have to work in the evening I see him every time..”, he said. “Then I want you to follow him after he had his drink, or at least warn me, so that I can follow him”, I said. “But Harry… He is dangerous..”, Steve said. “What do you mean? I know how to knock out someone”, I said. Steve didn’t say something for a few seconds, then he started to talk again. “That’s true… Well, it’s your own decision. I’ll call you when he is here, okay?”, he said. “Okay..”, I said. “Well, I have to go now, there are a lot of people here”, he said. “Steve?”, I quickly asked. “Yeah?” “Thanks, man”, I said. “It’s okay”, he said, and then he hang up.
