Finding Happiness

Chapter 9: Abduction

Omniscient
Chris's alarm went off at 4:15am, he woke August up then went into the guest bathroom to get ready. August went into his bathroom and started getting ready. When he was finished getting dressed, he went downstairs and made a quick breakfast while he let Dj know that he had to leave and he would be back as soon as he could.

Chris came downstairs while August was still on the phone, grabbed his duffel bag and put it in the car. He went back inside just as August hung up the phone, Chris took his plate from August and started eating.

After they finished eating, they went outside and got in the car, August was a little nervous about seeing Jada again but, he was also excited.

Meanwhile...
"Why are you up so early?" Jada asked Lani, standing in the doorway of the kitchen.

"Chris said that he would be on his way out here around this time."

"So, it's going to take a few hours to get here."

"Do you think we should cook for them?"

"What do you mean them? I thought you said only Chris was coming."

"Oh...right I must still be a little tired."

"Lani, don't play with me."

"I'm serious, I haven't even had my coffee yet."

"Yeah, sure."

Jada sat down at the kitchen table and started planning her activities for the day. She searched the fridge and cabinets for something to cook but, sadly there was nothing.

"We need to go grocery shopping." Lani reminded her.

"Thanks, I'll make the list."

"What time do the grocery stores usually open around here?"

"They usually open around 9am."

Lani nodded and looked in the fridge, the only thing in there was fruit, butter, and strawberry jam. Jada grabbed the loaf of freshly baked bread that her Malcolm had left and started cutting it.
2 Hours Later
"We finally made it." August exclaimed getting out of Chris's car and walking towards the front door.

"This house is nice." Chris said ringing the doorbell.

The door opened and a tall muscular man opened the door, August looked him up and down before he spoke.

"Who are you?" Chris asked.

"I could ask y'all the same question."

"We're looking for Jada."

"And y'all on my front porch because?"

August could feel himself getting angry and annoyed, a woman that looked similar to Jada appeared in the doorway holding a baby on her hip. Chris raised an eyebrow at them as the man disappeared around the corner with the baby.

"So you dating somebody now?" He asked trying not to sound jealous.

"What? Who are you?" She asked putting the baby down on the floor.

"Don't tell me you already forgot about me."

The woman looked at them with a puzzled look on her face.

"Jada don't act like you don't remember it's only been a few days since the last time we've seen each other."

"Jada? My name isn't Jada, I think you have the wrong house."

Chris pulled out his phone to text Lani, I walked back to the car and got in the drivers seat since clearly Chris doesn't know how to follow directions. He got in the car and I put the correct address in the GPS.
