Chapter 2 - The Adventure of Who?

*A warning ahead of time. This chapter isn't as long as the first, as i kind of rushed to finish it. But the next chapter will be longer, and hopefully when i edit this chapter it'll be longer. Sorry sorry* 

I was startled awake by the sound of breaking glass. I sat up in my bed and looked at the window, it was shattered. Standing up I go look out of the broken window to see a phone shattered on the ground beneath. Looking back around the room I see Angie completely distraught, tears running down her face. I hesitantly walk towards her.

"Angie? What's going on?" She slides down the wall and sits on the ground, a sob escapes her.

"They they found her body." I look at her with wide eyes. Lia.

"Oh Angie." I walk towards her but she holds up her hands.

"Don't don't touch me." I back up. "We we all thought-" She stops and cries hard into her hands. I sigh knowing what we needed to do. This was a huge blow to the both of us. I went into the closet and started packing the little things we used the last couple of days. Throwing everything into a bag and tossing it onto the bed. "What what are you doing?" She says staring up at me, tears still rolling down her face.

"We are going home, you need to be there, and you can't go alone." I pick up my camera and put it in its bag. "I think I should be there for you anyways." I mumble as I go to put all our bags by the door. Picking up my phone and calling a taxi.

"No no you have to stay stay. You need to be here." She says standing up and grabbing my bags and putting them back. "Please, my mmom will pick me up from the airport once I get there. I won't be alone." I look her in the eyes for a solid minute before I gave in.

"Fine but I'm making sure you get on the right plane safely. I don't want you to get onto the wrong plane." She nods more tears falling. "And I want a call as soon as you land, and I want to be updated. I will make it in for her funeral." Once I said that she nodded but cried even harder at the realization that she had to make plans for her 10 year old daughter's funeral. I carried all her bags, and we got down into the taxi with no problems, it was about an hour drive from here to the airport, and getting through all the security and everything is going to take probably another hour, so I'll be gone for about four hours. Hopefully they won't notice I'm gone. It is still pretty early. They whole way there I comforted Angie as best as I could, not really knowing what to say in such a situation. No matter how much death you've been through there is never an appropriate thing to say to someone going through this. Pulling up to the airport I quickly get her bags and walk her through security, which took forever. I hugged her close before she got onto her plane and I told her I'd always just be a call away. She collected herself long enough to get onto the plane with her stuff. I was thankful she could do that much on her own. Hopefully she'll make her way home fine. I feel horrible making her go home alone, but she's right. I have to stay here. Getting back to the taxi didn't take long and once I was in the car the adrenaline slowed down and I realized how anxious I was just being in a car. Deciding to try and call Andy I got my phone out. It rang a few times before it was sent to voicemail. I didn't bother to leave a message this time. Just simply hung up and was wondering what he was doing. I knew Korea was 16 hours ahead of where he is in America but that doesn't mean he misses all of my calls and no texts. I was getting easily frustrated. Looking down at my phone again to just pass time, and to distract my mind, my phone starts vibrating. I'm getting a call? I didn't recognize the number, but I answer anyways.

"Hello?" I ask, I hear a bunch of voices, what seemed to be Korean?

"Ah Ashley?" Who is this?
