Chapter 63

Peeta's POV

In the late afternoon of one of the worst days of my life, Hannah and her partner Jason arrive in 12. They ask us question after question, and I don't hesitate to answer because I want my daughter back. They asked us all- Haymitch, Effie, Johanna, Gale, Katniss and I to give them our statements and we do willingly. They decide that after they have gotten together and talked about our statements, that they would go out and start to collect information that could lead them to our baby. We don't object because I want to hold my daughter in my arms, safe from all around us. It's been almost a day that I haven't seen her little face for, but feels like a lifetime. Why has this happened to us?

Detective Hannah Beat's POV

Jason and I head down to the centre of 12 and look where we could go first. We might not know where everything is, but it can't be that hard, most above districts are the same. We decide the markets is a place filled with citizens that may know something about it so we go there. We start to ask questions, but no one seems to know anything. They haven't heard about it. They haven't seen anything. It has been a few hours of questioning after questioning, no one knows anything, except one.

We approach a girl with soft blonde hair. "Excuse me." I say tapping her shoulder. She turns around and looks at us. "Yes?" She asks. "Hello, my name is Detective Hannah Beat and this is my partner Detective Jason Wells, we were wondering if you could answer a few questions for us?" I ask her showing my badge and putting it away after. "Of course, yes." She answers. "Thank you." I say before handing the questioning to Jason. "Do you know Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark?" He asks her. "Yes of course. I have known them since we were all in school." She answers. "Well do you know anything about the kidnapping of their daughter, Willow Mellark?" Jason continues. Her eyes widen.

"Daughter? Peeta and Katniss? Kidnapped?" She asks very surprised. "Yes. Peeta and Katniss's daughter, Willow was kidnapped last night and we are on the case to find her." I explain. "Oh my god. Poor Katniss and Peeta. They have already been through so much." She says. "I didn't know of it at all." She continues. "Well, have you heard anything odd or different lately?" Jason questions. She stares off into the distance while looking down at the ground. "Seen anything suspicious?" Jason asks. Her head whips up quickly and faces us. "Yes. I have." She answers. "Can you tell us?" I ask. She nods vigorously. "Yes. Anything to help Peeta and Katniss." She exclaims.

"I was at home last night and I heard something downstairs..." She starts off. "Downstairs?" Jason asks. "Yes. My brother and I own the Districts' shoe shop. Our house is on top of it." She clarifies. I nod. "Go on." Jason requests. "I heard something downstairs so I went down to check it out. It was late so I didn't know what to expect..." "What time was this?" Jason inquires. "Around one." She answers. "It was nothing, probably just a rodent. So, I then started to head upstairs again when I saw a shadow on the floor." Her face screws up and she looks down. "I then turned around because the shadow would have had to come from the street lamp outside the shop, and I saw someone."

"What did they look like?" I interrupt. "Like someone not from 12. I know almost everyone in 12 and I have never seen this man..." She explains looking back up to us. "Man?" Jason interjects. "It would have to be a man from how they looked." She explains. "How did they look?" I ask. "Um, it was dark but the street lamp did show a few things." She starts off. "Like what?" Jason asks. "Um, dark hair, light skin, hobbling, he was hobbling..." She describes. "Hobbling, like something was wrong with his leg or foot?" Jason clarifies. "Yes." She states. "Anything else that might have slipped your mind?" Jason questions.
