Chapter 46

I woke up with my computer still on my lap, the twitcam still running, and surprise, still a lot of viewers. Sighing, I ended the twitcam without saying a word, plugging the laptop in. Sighing, I shook my head, and slowly got out of my position on the bed.Dragging myself to the kitchen, I made myself breakfast, humming a random tune. Just then, my phone rang, so I picked it up.

"Hello. This is Mrs. Hemmings, correct?" The voice on the line said.

"Correct. How may I help you?" I responded with.

"We're here to ask you about the people reported missing."

"Ask away."

"When was the last time you saw them?"

"Three days ago."

"Where were they planning on going?"

"Hanging out around the city, exploring some more."

"Why didn't you go with them?"

"Grew up here." 

"Why didn't you report them missing sooner?"

"Thought they might've crashed at a hotel." 

"Did you try calling them?"

"Yes." 

"Are you aware of the fact that all police resources are being used to help find them?"

"Yes, I am aware of that fact, sir." 

"Would you like to help?" 

"You're going to let me help?" I said hesitantly.

"That's right, Mrs. Hemmings." 

"Thank you." 

"Not a problem." 

"Uh..when can I start?" 

"Stop by the police station, and yes, right now." 

"Thank you again." 

"You're welcome." I immediately got dressed and put my hair in a ponytail, before driving to the police station. I got led to a backroom, where a pistol, taser and bulletproof vest were on a table. 

"Do you know how to shoot a pistol?" The officer that led me back here said to me. I shook my head, and he pressed the gun in my hand, leading me to a small shooting range in the backyard of the station. After practicing until I got a bullseye, I was allowed to go. 

"Wear this if you're going in somewhere, always bring the taser and pistol with you, but concealed." He instructed. "This is the circumstance since it is a kidnapping. If it was a missing case you would not have any of this." He whispered to me. I nodded, bracing myself. Getting back in my car, I started to drive around, deciding to look for Luke's car first. 

I found it parked in front of a coffeeshop, so I pulled over and parked. Hiding the gun and bulletproof vest in the car, I walked cautiously to the car. Piled on the drivers seat were their phones, and I was surprised it wasn't broken into by now. Digging Luke's car keys out of my bag since we had two sets, I unlocked the car and gathered their phones up, before getting back in my car and locking Luke's. I inspected each phone, most of them intact. Luke's and Calum's were cracked, but still functional. I unlocked Luke's smiling at his home screen. After searching that for any lead as to where they could've gone, I searched Calum's. I only knew those two passcodes, so I hid them in the glovebox and continued my search. Driving out to the suburbs, I parked the car in front of a warehouse that was shut down, but lights were still on. I heard yelling coming from inside, and I pulled the bulletproof vest over my head, before hiding the gun and taser within my clothes. I snuck quietly up next to the building, being sure to stay out of sight from anybody.
