Grey's Tale ✅

Missing

Mark sighed as he signed the last paper on his desk. His phone vibrated in his pocket just as he put down the papers.

'Please help me'

Mark frowned at Grey's message, he immediately called Alexia

"Hey Mark"

"Where's Grey?" Alexia headed into the restaurant

"He went to the bathroom"

"Go check on him now" his voice was stern

"I'm not going into the men-"

"Do it now!" Alexia jumped at the sudden elevation in his tone of voice

She looked around to ensure no one was paying attention to her, she entered the bathroom half heartily

No one was in there

"He's not here" Mark grabbed his keys and left his office

"Where are you?" Alexia could hear him shuffling over the phone

This had not been the first time this has happened when Grey was a young boy he disappeared for a few days, hundreds of police officers and private investigators had been hired to find him.

A simple phone call from Mark revealed his whereabouts. He had been camping out in the woods after his mother scared him

He refused to go into that house until Mark came to get him even then it took weeks before he could fully integrate himself into the house.

Alexia sat down at an empty booth after her chat with Mark, was this her fault?

That question ran marathons in her mind, she couldn't bare that.

She got up and ordered something to eat, it was a bad habit of hers to look for comfort in food.

She sat back down at the booth and stuffed her face with fries and ketchup. She took out her phone and messaged Grey

'Where are you, please answer me'

Alexia doubted he would answer but it was worth a shot. She didn't even notice she had finished eating, her mind was pushing her to buy more food but her stomach was already rejecting what she ate.

A wave of nausea hit her as she realized she ate too fast, she ran to the restroom and emptied her stomach. She felt a hand wrap up her hair, she was too busy to check who it was, part of her hoped it was Grey

The hand released here hair and handed her a napkin, she wiped her mouth and discarded it into the toilet then flushed it.

"Are you alright?" Her eyes gazed upon a worried Mark.

Mark helped her up and held her as she cried. His touch was as gentle as a caring mother.

He held her head in his hands and used his thumbs to wipe her tears.

"Where's Finn?" Those words surprised him, she put Grey before herself and that made him smile

"Let's worry about you first" she was about to protest but Mark pushed her out of the stall

He wet a tissue and began to wipe her face and hands. She gazed down at him as he wiped her hands, he was truly nice man, she can see why Grey favors him so much

"Once again are you alright?" his silver like eyes reminded her of Grey

"I'm ok, the food just made me sick" he smiled

"Are you sure you're not pregnant?" Alexia rolled her eyes

Mark slung an arm around Alexia and took her out of the bathroom. They walked out side to Mark's car where he handed her a bottle of water from inside his car
