Against All Odds

8.

I know it seems like I'm rushing the story, but I only want this story to have about 15-20 chapters. I hope everyone can keep up with the story.

"Well if we find anything, we'll give you a call."

I don't say anything so Bri speaks up for me. "Okay, thanks again officer Smith for all your help."

It's only been about 7 hours since Chaylin was kidnapped and I haven't said a word since then. I've just been crying. My mom got off work early as soon as she found out what happened and Bri and Ms.Dianne came over also for moral support.

"I swea', i'on kno' how I ain' hea' nothing. I was right dere in the livin' room." Jayceon has been beating hisself up about it this whole time. Bri and everyone else has been trying to assure him that it's not his fault.

Without saying a word, I get up and go to my room, slamming the door. I go inside my closet grabbing my shoe box. I open it up grabbing my glock 17.

Things are about to change for good around here and I mean that. No more Mr.Nice Guy, Jacob Payne is about to start acting real grimy.

Nobody is going to stand in my way from getting my revenge.

My mom allows me to stay with Jayceon for a few hours while she goes to work so I can make sure he's alright. Although it wasn't his fault, he's taking it pretty hard.

"Jay, it's not your fault. You had no control over what happened." I sigh as he continues to stare at the wall with no emotion on his face.

I go in the kitchen to grab a snack and see the debris and glass all over the floor. I grab a broom and began cleaning it up. Once I'm finished, I go in Chaylin's room and grab her favorite blanket. I smell it and it smells just like her.

I began to tear up which soon turns into full blown crying. "Hang in there sweetgirl, we're going to find you."

Once I calm myself down, I get a text on my phone from an unknown number. I open it and gasp while covering my mouth. It's a picture of my dad's corpse and Chaylin laying next to him. I can't tell whether she's dead or alive.

"Well, well. Look who's back. I knew you would come around."

I didn't want to get caught up with Rodney again but we have to get Chaylin back, and desperate times calls for desperate measures.

Things are starting to get serious. I know this chapter is short but this was just a filler chapter. The next few will be longer.
