Dark 2

10 : Missing

All of us somehow got into Louis' car. He didn't drive. Liam didn't allow him to drive.

"Liam, I'm fine." He said.

"No, you're not. I saw how you drove today morning. You almost drove into a truck. " He said, putting on his seat belt.

"Hurry up Liam." I said from the backseat. I had to sit on Niall's lap, because four of us didn't fit in the back seat of Louis' sedan.

"Is this new ?" I asked. "Because I remember you coming to my place last year in an SUV."

"Yea, that's my mom's. This is mine." He said, turning back. "Hurry up Liam."

"Where did that music come from?" Lisa asked. "And was it really Peggy Gilbert's song that played?"

"Yea, that was her for sure. My great grandmom has these really old records that she plays occasionally on her gramophone. I did hear this song a couple of time." Liam said, driving quickly.

"Oh, so that's how you know it." Harry said. "Because I was wondering how you both knew someone from the thirties."

"How old is your great grandmom?" I asked.

"I don't know to be honest. I've never asked her." He said. "Niall, why are you so silent?"

"Audrey, do you still have that test tube you took from that lab?" He asked me, patting on my lap.

"Yea." I said, leaning forward, forced my hand into the pocket of my jeans, and took it out. "Here."

He took it from me, and closely examined the paper stuck onto it.

"Who's is that?" Lisa asked.

"We found it in the lab today. We believe its Tiara's, because it's got her surname written on it." I said. "Do you see anything else?"

"Hey, there's something written behind this sticker." He said, holding it up near my face. "See it from inside the test tube. It's behind the stuck paper. Can you read it?"

"C-L-...what's that after that?" I said, while he was holding it up erectly in front of my face.

"Can I have a look at it?" Lisa said, taking it from Niall. "C-L-A something."

"Another name?" Liam asked. "I bet it's someone's name."

"Is that L or H ?" Harry asked, taking it from Lisa. "Yea, it's C-H, not C-L."

"What could it be?" Louis turned around and asked. "Hey Audrey, would your grandma be of any help? Audrey?"

"Yo, he called you." Niall said, jerking me. I happened to have got lost in some thought. "Yea what?"

"Won't your grandma be willing to help us?" He asked again.

"Some people are not worth seeing my good side. And she's one of them." I said. "If I go to her, she'll say no. She'll probably scold me, which in turn will make me angry. And I'll lose my patience. It's better not to go to her."

"What about that old witch Audrey? Remember you stole vervain from her place?" Harry asked.

"Let's get to my place first and see what's wrong." Liam said, and got distracted by a call on his phone. He stopped the car towards a side, and picked up.

"Yea mom? We're on our way. Mom? Tell me what it is. No, why aren't you telling me what it is?" We heard him talk over the phone. "Mom? Yea okay. We'll be there in a few minutes."

"What's wrong?" Louis asked.

"I don't know. She's not telling me anything. She's like get home quick." He said, starting the car. "I really hope it's not something to do with Zayn."
