My Guardian Angel

Chapter 30

Louis P.O.V

How long have we been sitting in this police station? A week? Ok it's only been about an hour but the tracking results should be done already! Finally I hear the door open and I turned to see officer Rob enter the room.

"Well? Did you find the source of the text?" I asked nervously.

"I am glad to tell you that we did find it, it came from a town about 20 miles from here. If we want to get there before anything bad happens, we should probably leave now."

"Before anything had happens? You don't think the situation is bad enough already? Hayden could already be dead, who knows what's going on?!" I yelled.

"Calm down son, my troop is leaving right now to go to the source. You all can just stay here and wait until we get back."

"Hell to the no!" Rebecca blurted out.

"Excuse me?" Officer Rob asked.

"Yeah we're just gonna sit here for another who knows how many hours and just wait till we hear back from you? We know Hayden better than you do and we should be the first to know any information you guys acquire. Pardon me if I sound "unreasonable" but I really don't think it's too much to ask that we tag along."

The silence was thick enough to cut with a knife as Rob stared at Rebecca. This was why I admired Rebecca. She speaks her mind and everyone listens.

"Well," officer Rob began as he cleared his throat. "I suppose you could be some help to our squad, lets get going."

"Thank you." Rebecca smirked.

Rebecca and I rode in the cop car with Rob and another officer. There were 3 other cars accompanying us well.

Hayden's P.O.V

I ran out of that house so fast that I tripped over my own legs and face planted on the ground. Get up Hayden. Don't look back. Run. Just run and don't ever stop. I didn't know if my dad was following me or not, but I wasn't taking any chances. It was pitch black and the only light source was a couple street lights that would flicker occasionally.

At least I had some idea of where I was. I remember my dad bringing me over to Paul's house when I was younger. My mom and Paul's wife were really good friends. Or at least thats what my dad told me. They would always play poker or some other card game...I stopped running at the thought of my mom. I haven't talked to her in a while. Although it was risky, I would rather spend my last minutes speaking with my mom than not speaking to her at all.

"Hey mom....So as you can see I'm in a bit of trouble here. Actually more than a bit, but uh....If you can hear me, please know that I love you. You are the best person who has ever been in my life. I'm sorry I didn't appreciate you more when you were here...

The tears started coming.

"So I'm just gonna cut to the chase here...

if dad...you know....finds me and, and kills me. I just....

I want you to somehow let Rebecca and Louis know how much I love

them....

I wish I could have told them goodbye. I wish I could have had one last movie night with Rebecca like old times. And I wish I could have been held in Louis' arms just once more. Hear him whisper something sweet to me and tell me everything's going to be ok...

Please mom just help me out. I love you."

With that I turned around, afraid that my dad would be right there. To my luck he wasn't and I continued running towards an old neighbor who I remembered was pretty nice.

Hayden's Dads P.O.V

"She got away Brian! She fucking got away!" I yelled while rubbing my swollen head.

"I know. You think I didn't notice?!" Brian shot back.

"We gotta get her, we gotta find her."

"Listen man, maybe you should just give it a rest. I mean your wife died about 20 years ago? How much longer are you going to focus your life on hurting your daughter?"

I stared at him in utter dis-belief.

"Who's side are you on here? And don't you dare bring my wife into this. I don't ever talk about your wife!" I shouted.

"Sorry, I'm sorry. Whatever. What the hell are we going to do?" Brian asked.

"I'm gonna go find her. You are going to stay here and clean up any evidence in case the cops show up, got it?"

"Are you sure your head is well enough to go out?"

"Yes don't worry about me. She couldn't have gotten far."

Louis P.O.V

We finally pulled into the driveway of where it looked like the text was sent from.

"Do any of you recognize this place?" Rob asked.

"No. I don't." I said.

"Wait...I have been here before." Rebecca whispered.

"What? When?" I asked shaking her shoulders?

"Hold on, give me a minute."

"I was here with, Hayden. Yeah. A long time ago. I remember playing on the swings out back while her dad would talk to the guy who lived here or something."

"Oh my god do you think whoever lives here is helping Hayden's dad!" I yelled.

"There's a good chance that he is son." Officer Rob chimed in.

"Well why the hell are we still in the car?! Lets storm this place guns loaded!" I screamed.

"Louis, even I know we can't do that. We need to go in quietly and breach and clear the rooms so we can take them by surprise." Rebecca told me.

"Very good miss, where'd you learn that?" Asked Rob.

"You know, Law and Order re-runs." Rebecca answered.

Even in this serious situation I couldn't help but let out the tiniest laugh.

All of the officers got on their protective gear and night vision goggles. There were 8 cops in all and they went in pairs to cover all sides of the house. First they had to try a window to see if they could get in without anyone noticing.

Rebecca and I stayed in the car since we weren't exactly on the squad.

I saw rob go for a window but it was locked. Two other guys tried their

windows but no luck.

"Please God, if you're up there, help us out and get us into this house." I whispered to myself.

Rebecca rubbed my back.

"It's gonna be ok Louis, I'm sure they will get in."

One of the guys, Dave, was going for the window right by the back door. I watched him carefully start working at the window. Did my eyes deceive me? Or was it actually opening?

"Rebecca look! Dave got it!" I said pointing.

"Oh my god, yes! Now lets hope they actually find them."

Two by two they cops entered the house with complete precision. I saw them use hand signals and gestures to communicate without talking. Before I knew it, all the guys were in the house except 2 who stayed outside to keep guard.

I was sweating and shaking just sitting there waiting for them. Then I heard it...

"FREEZE!" I heard an officers voice yell.

Who did they find?!
