Hollywood Heights

Chapter 25

Loren: Kelly whats wrong?

Kelly: The bus, it's missing.

Eddie: Wait what?

Loren: What do you mean missing?

Kelly: Not here, gone, no where to be found.

Eddie: So just call the driver.

Kelly: Eddie that's just it, after the driver had finished loading the bus he went to the bathroom, when he got back there to let us on the bus, with everything in it was gone.

Melissa: Did i just hear you say that everything i own is missing?

Kelly: I'm afraid so.

They all walked down to the lobby together where Max, Nora and Jake and the driver were sitting and trying to make sense of the situation.

Jake: Can't we just get a new bus?

Max: We can but all of our belongings are on that bus, we need to get our stuff back.

Eddie: Jake, did you put a tracking thing on the bus? Something like the way you always know where i am and what i'm doing at every second. 

Jake: Nope, sorry Eduardo, I am always with you on the bus so no need to track it.

Eddie: Well for once i wish you did.

Max: Look, okay everyone we just need to calm down, if we put our heads together we can come up with a plan.

Eddie: Involve the police?

Kelly: I think i had enough of the police for a while.

Eddie: Me too, but i had some really important things on that bus, including my guitar i got for my birthday. We need to find that bus.

Max gets on the phone and calls his buddy Joe.

Max: Joe, hey how are you?

Joe: I'm good how are you Max? I thought after last week i wouldn't be hearing from you for a while.

Max: I love talking to you Joe but i was hoping the same thing.

Joe: So what can i do for you?

Max: Well we are currently in Huston we were about to leave this morning, the tour bus was all packed up ready to go when the bus went missing.

Joe: You mean someone stole the bus?

Max: Yeah, and  everything that was in it. Do you think you can help me find the bus?

Joe: I don't know, it will be hard from here but let me see what i can do i will call you back in a couple of hours.

Max: Thank you, keep me posted.

Max hung up and walked back to the rest of the group. The police were already there and they were looking at the surveillance cameras that were installed in front of the hotel. The cameras showed them the bus, at some points they were able to see the driver but somehow the person who took the bus was no where to be seen on the cameras, they saw the driver reenter the hotel and the bus pull away but they did not see who took it.

Loren: Now what?

Officer: I can go back to the precinct and see if i can get access to the cities cameras, but it probably has the same view that the hotels cameras have.

Nora: I think it's worth a try.

Officer: Why don't you just file a claim with the insurance.

Melissa: Did you ever have anything really expensive and really important stolen from you.
