The police came over earlier today and asked us for information on anybody that might have shown anger towards Autumn.
"I can't imagine anyone getting so angry with Autumn other than Winter here." Mom answered through tears. Thanks mom.
"Yeah we got in little cat fights but why the hell would I ever think to kill Autumn mom?" I said in an angry tone. Both mom and the officers seemed shock at my use of the "h" word.
"No no I'm not saying you did that and I know that for a fact." She reached for my hand but I pulled away.
"I was at home when she was kidnapped! She was at a bar! Why would you even suggest my name in this! Are you accusing me of something?" I was so angry I was shocked about my own anger.
"No! Absolutely not!" Mom replied in a shaky tone.
The officers gave us both a puzzled look, then jotted a few notes and then left.
"Sorry Winter" mom mumbled to me once the police left.
"It's okay" I sigh trying to shrug off the anger "they're not going to find those guys. You know that right mom?"
"I know...." Mom said through shaky breaths.
We sat in awquard silence for a moment and then suddenly I had an idea.
"If they don't find the guys that killed Autumn" I smiled "I will."
"It's too dangerous" mom said quickly "you won't be able to find them and even if you do they could kill you in a second.
**3 weeks later**
That night I prayed that the men would be found in less than a week. It started out as days than days turned into weeks.
"Are you there?" I asked up to the sky. Nothing but dead silence.
"Of course you're not" I mumbled as I enter my house.
I went straight upstairs and into my room and sobbed. Anger surged through me and then that strong feeling to go to the bar coursed through my brain. I've had this feeling ever since that I said I would try to find the men that killed Autumn.
"Yeah I'll get the feeling to go to the bar and then end up not getting any information." I mumbled to myself.
I stayed up late that night sitting on my phone because I knew that I didn't need to get up for school in the morning. I got to take six months off of school and I'll be back in March. I'm already halfway through my break, it's not really a break it's just time for me to grieve.
I was listening to music when an ad sparked my attention. I had to wait a few seconds before I could skip it. It was this app that you can use to track down family members or friends phones. It was a lame ad so once the few seconds of impatiently waiting was over I clicked "skip ad" but my phone wasn't letting me. I clenched my teeth in frustration. I continuously pressed the "skip ad" button but it wasn't working. I was pressing so fast I couldn't stop pressing fast enough for me to not click "download app." I muttered a few curse words until an idea popped into my head.
"I can use the app to track down Autumn's phone!" I exclaimed to myself. Wherever her phone is must be where those men are!
Excited, I waited for the app to finish downloading. Once it was done I opened the app to a large map.
"Enter recipent" one of the icons read. I pressed it and typed in Autumn's name "Autumn Claire Cheston." I choked back tears as I read her name out loud to myself. Then at the bottom there was a bar that read "type in phone number" I did as it said and waited for it to load.
As soon as it finished loading I was able to track down her phone at the same bar she went missing in. It's about two miles from my house so not too far.
I rushed downstairs and told mom that I was going to my neighbors who is also my best friend, Christina's house. She gave me a puzzled look but allowed me to leave.
I draped a black baggy sweatshirt that was dad's, over my tshirt and headed over to the bar. I started running for the full two miles. It was dark and cold outside and luckily I remembered to bring a flashlight.
After about thirty minutes later I arrive at the bar and texted my mom and told her I'd be home a little later. Without hesitating I bursted open the door of the bar. There was loud, blasting music and flashing lights. The smell of alcohol and cigarette smoke filled my lungs and I began to gag.
"Ma'am how old are you?" A bartender was standing behind me. He knew I was underage, I'm only fourteen so I shouldn't be in a bar in the first place.
"Have you ever heard that it is rude to ask a lady how old she is?" I put my hand on my hips.
"My bad" he looked down at the floor "you just look too young to be at a bar. You're too thin to be an adult.
"Well I was born this way! So back off pal!" I snapped.
"Oh I'm sorry! Enjoy the party....." he walked off in a shy sort of way.
I rolled my eyes and began to search for Autumn's phone. The smell of the smoke put a feeling of nausea into my stomach.
"Can't wait to get out of here" I mumbled to myself. I searched for her phone and found it inside the men's bathroom. I knew I couldn't walk in there if there are men inside so I hid my face under the hood of my black sweatshirt and sagged my pants a little. It sent me giggling when I saw my self in a nearby mirror, probably my first time laughing since Autumn went missing. I went inside the men's restroom and covered my eyes. I waited for one guy to leave and then I scanned the restroom.
One of the stalls had someone in it and so I remained absolutely silent, waiting for the guy to make a sound. He didn't make a peep so I checked under the stall and saw shoes.
I continued to wait in total silence and then I started to think nobody was in that stall.
They might have passed out, or maybe even be dead due to an overdose of drugs. "Don't do drugs" I whispered to myself awquardly.
I looked through the crack on the stall's door. Nobody was there so I climbed under the door and saw that the shoes were set up to make people think that someone's using the restroom.
I stood up and sat in shock at the sight of blood and my sisters purse with her phone inside. I looked at the blood that was all over the toilet and walls. It wasn't alot but it let you know that they intended on hurting her.
"Weird none of it ended up on the floor" I muttered in fear.
I saw her scarf and her pants ontop of the toilet seat. I growled angrily, I'm gonna find those losers and I'll kill them.
The thing that caught me off guard was the fact that they didn't steal anything from her purse. So they obviously just wanted to kill her for fun or revenge, maybe even both.
I grabbed her purse and searched the floor for any drugs or beer but there was nothing. She most likely wasn't high or drunk, and if she brought her purse with her nice ten carrot ring, that her rich boyfriend Quinton bought her, in it then she most likely didn't know she was going to be kidnapped.
"Look at you go Jr. Detective" I muttered happily at my discovery.
Why didn't the police check this out though? That's really strange, was the restroom hidden or something? All these questions gathered in my mind.
Should I call the cops or figure out this mystery myself? Well the cops won't kill the men that killed Autumn so I'll find them and when I do I'll kill them. The cops will just have them sitting around getting three meals a day, watch TV, not have to pay bills. I laughed about how unfair it was that these psychos kill people viciously but have a good time in prison while the families are grieving.
I turn away from the scene and shut my eyes and sobbed into my dad's sweatshirt. That was too much to see especially since I knew that that was Autumn, my sisters blood.
