Something Unexpected

Chapter 10.1 - Missing

As I said before all the chapters are reallllly shortt, i honestly wasn't kidding... :/ sorry

Gina had talked to Rose until 5, and then she had to leave to get to the Apollo Vic. She arrived at the theatre at 5:40 and presumed that Lou would already be there. She walked in to Lou's dressing room and much to her surprise Hayley was sitting in the make-up chair having green make-up applied.

"Hayley!" She exclaimed "I didn't know you were on today."

"Neither did I. Louise hasn't turned up and no one can reach her on her phone, it keeps going to voicemail."

"So she wasn't just dodging my calls..."

"Why?" Hayley asked, puzzled.

"Oh, did I say that out loud? It's a long story and I really should go and get ready." With that she walked out, avoiding the question. She opened the door to her dressing room and went to sit down in her own make-up chair. She tried to call Lou. No answer. Where are you Lou? She thought to herself.

During the interval Gina checked her phone, hoping to hear back from Lou. No luck, but she had received 3 text messages from a blocked number. The first was a picture message, she opened it. She dropped her phone in shock; it was a picture of Lou. She was tied up in a dimly lit room and Gina could just about make out the fear in her eyes. She bent down and picked the device up off the floor. She exited the picture and read the 2 messages she had been sent:

We won't hurt her as long as you play along. Tell no one about this or there will be dire consequences. An address will be sent to you shortly. Come alone!

A message containing an address had also been sent to her, it wasn't too far away, 30 minutes journey at most. Gina changed and grabbed her bag; she scrawled a note saying that Lucy would have to cover act 2 for her. She opened the door to check if anyone was around, the coast was clear. She managed to slip out of the theatre unnoticed and hopped onto the train. The location was only a short walk from the train station. The area wasn't very pleasant, not that she expected it to be, and there was hardly anyone around. She finally arrived at an abandoned house. There as broken glass everywhere and it was almost pitch black. She called out for Lou... no response. She tried again "Lou, where are you?" Oh Lou what have you gotten yourself into? She thought to herself.
