Chapter 12
Grace's view
Please, please just leave!!
I felt like he would jump over the counter, grab me and yell at me for hiding from him. Then beat me and lock me in the basement again.
To never see daylight again.
"So you didn't see a little girl with short brown hair run to the bathroom or outside?" He asked again.
"No sorry sir, I was in the back. I just came out here" she shook her head. Goodness, bless her, she's a savor!
"Ok thanks" he muttered as I could hear his car keys jingle in his pocket and his footsteps fading. Then the "Umft" of the theater door closing.
"Thank you so much!" I whispered standing up. All my limbs shaking from nerves.
"No problem, here come with me" she said back as she pulled me to the back. I followed behind as we entered the back and a few people inside caught my eye.
"Newbie your not aloud to bring little kids back here" spoke a man who wore a blue dress shirt and tie, he must be the manager.
"I know but this is the girl who is missing and her father is the prisoner who escaped jail. We need to call the police now!" She quickly pulled me over to a counter where she rummaged through a bag.
"Oh my gosh, the girl who lives with One Direction?!" Another girl in a uniform asked. I nodded on the brim of tears as she mentioned the boys.
I miss them so much.
"Hello! Is anyone here?! I can't find my daughter?! Hello?!" My dad yelled from the counter out the door. "Fine, I'm coming in to find the manager!" I could hear he was angry.
"Jimmy, take her out the back way so he doesn't find her" one man quickly tells Jimmy. The tall and skinny guy with black hair, is - who I assume is Jimmy.
He grabs my forearm and pulls me through the back where we walk through a theater then a back door. The light blinds my eyes as we exit the theater and are outside.
"Your names Grace right?" Jimmy nicely asks as he kneels down in front of me, the back door closing from behind him. I nod. "We'll Grace, did you know that everybody's been looking for you? That band of yours has been all over the radio, Tv, Internet and everything." He smiles at me.
"Really?" I ask on the brim of tears. He nods.
"Yeah, and my sister is a fan of them. She says they haven't been the same since you've been gone." He says, I began to sob hearing that. He puts his hand onto shoulder and I unintentionally hug him.
"I just want to go home..." I whisper tears streaming down my cheeks. He rubs my back and it reminds me of Liam, when he does that too.
Suddenly a phone rings and I pull away from Jimmy. He pulls his phone out of his pocket and reads the message aloud.
"Hide her, he's mad and going to look for her outside." His eyes widen.
"Here, run over there and hide behind that bush. If he sees you or I motion to you, you run. Run down the street as far as you can, okay?" I nod quickly doing as told and run over to the bush, hiding behind it and turn back around to look at him.

"Guys, we just need to have hope! She will be found and that bastard will be put back in jail!" Liam said trying to lift our hopes.
