Nightmare

Chapter Eighteen

Zacky

This has been a hellish week.

Matt and I made it back to California doing everything in our power to find the girls.

We went straight from the airport no more than twelve hours behind the girls, to his house.

It was obvious that at one point that they were there.

All of Kat's personal belongings were gone. But the girls themselves were not there. They obviously got her stuff and left.

I know Matt was trying to hide the fact it was killing him Kat wasn't around.

He asked me to stay at my place, he never said why but I was sure it was because Kat wasn't at his house and he didn't want to be there alone.

Fuck I kind of didn't want to be alone and if we were staying together we could pool our resources and ideas into finding the girls together. Truthfully Matt and I were in this together as were the girls.

We kept trying everything we could think of to find them. Staying up at night trying new ideas, new tactics, anything.

We tried to track their phones but the girls were a step a head of us. They had turned off the gps on their phones. The girls were smart. It was a long shot and we knew it but it was worth a try.

We tried everything. We tried finding Desiree's house. But all of her information was linked to a post office box with no physical address.

We tried the court house to find where she had bought the house but again nothing. Either she didn't own it outright yet or she purchased it in someone else's name.

We tried calling, we tried texting. They never answered. Nothing was working.

"We really fucked up." I hissed for what felt like the millionth time.

"Yeah we fucking did. We leave for Mexico soon do you think maybe we can talk to them then?" Matt asked hopeful.

"That's if they're even going" I muttered.

As far as we knew Desiree had quit. We tried asking Larry if he knew what was going on but he wouldn't tell us. He told, well lectured, us that it was our mess and we had to sort it out on our own.

He was right, there was no denying it. I over reacted and so did Matt.

Larry was right it was our mess to clean up.

We  wanted to. Hell we were trying our damnedest to make it happen but we weren't having any luck.

Matt and I wanting nothing more than to clean this mess up. We wanted to talk to Desiree and Kat.

The girls it seemed were gone from us forever.

"Kat come on please fucking answer okay I'm sorry babe please damn." Matt spoke into his phone again.

"Still no answer?" I asked knowing there wasn't.

"Nope." He snapped getting angry again.

We stalked Southern California for days.

"Damn it" I muttered every time he tried to call I hoped one of them would finally answer.

"I just want to tell Kat I'm sorry and I will change." Matt whispered. "Hell I even want to talk to Dez, dude I was such a dick to her."

"Yeah, we all were. I was especially. She was starting to trust me" I shook my head "And I want to tell Kat dude I'm sorry I made Matt mad at you"

"You didn't exactly I'm a big dumb ass." Matt shook his head sighing.
