5. Finding Mia

Luke P.O.V

"When was the last time you saw her?" The investigator said. I thought about it. " I think--"

" You think or you don't know." The investigator said as he began to click his pen impatiently." We don't have a lot of time, the more seconds we waste, the more we can't find her."

I sighed. " The day before yesterday in the morning around seven-ish." He jotted it down." Why in the morning?" He said. Does he seriously think I'm part of her disappearance?" I wouldn't such a thing to her, ok? I love her a lot and I want her to be back home. Hell, I don't even know if she ran away or want missing or--" I stopped. My blood ran cold. She could've been kidnapped. I brushed away the thought, no...

The sound of cop cars blaring in the distance and people yelling her name was stressing me out. Please be ok, Mia.

I heard the sound of mom's car pulling into the driveway. She came out the car in a panic. It was four in the afternoon. I know, why do I barely notice she's missing after a day. I thought she went to a friends house.

I ran my fingers in my hair, I'm so fucking stupid, she has no friends. I felt like punching someone. I was too busy trying to impress Jenny that I wasn't thinking.

"Did you find my baby?" Mom said in a frantic tone. Her eyes were the color of a sea storm. They weren't the calm waters I knew. The investigator sighed." Ma'am, I need you to stay calm and I also need to ask you a couple questions. And with that said, she went inside with the investigator.

A female cop with ginger colored hair walked up to me." Are you Luke?" I nodded. My lips were quivering. She held up a bag with a phone in it." Is this hers?" I studied the phone. The case was black with white stripes on it. I pulled out my phone and checked in my gallery. I had a picture of her somewhere in here with her phone. I saw the photo and clicked on it.

My heart skipped a beat. Mia was sticking her tongue out and holding the peace sign. On her pocket was the phone, the same phone the cop has. I nodded. The cop sighed." I don't think she went missing." She pulled out her radio and said something in it with cop acronyms.

Who would kidnap her? Why? GOD DAMMIT, MIA!

Tears began to pour out my eyes. I haven't cried since Dad died.

I sat on the couch with a blanket on me. Cops were inside the house investigating. They wanted to see if maybe there's something that will help them find the kidnapper. But they won't find anything, I know.

Mom sat down beside me and handed me some tea. I took her offer and sipped the warm liquid down my throat." Mom, do you think she was kidnapped?" She didn't answer. She was staring into space with tears coming down her cheek. I wrapped my arm around her and she began to sob." I want my baby to come home." I sighed." Me too mom."

I began to feel guilty for all those times I've been a asshole to her. I wasn't purposely being an ass to her, it's just--

An officer interrupted." Did she by any chance know Grayson?" Grayson?

Oh, him. The prick that was trying to hit on Mia and pick on her." Yea, but they weren't mutual friends or anything. He was rude to her." The officer nodded." Ok, but she knew him?" I stood up." Why are you asking? What does her have anything to do with her?"

She sighed." We found him dead and decapitated with her phone. We identified him because his I.D was in his pants. And whoever kidnapped Mia, killed him."

"How?" Mom and I said in unison. The cop pulled out photos." We found this in her phone. All her pictures were deleted except with these two photos.

She handed me the photos. One picture had Mia knocked out in a van with a caption on the bottom saying:

Shes all mine...

I wanted to rip the photo to shreds. What kind of fuck would do this?
The other photo was a picture of a man wearing a mask kissing Mia on the lips while holding her head. She was still unconscious.

I threw the pictures on the floor." I will find this fucker who took Mia and cut his balls off." Mom grabbed my hand and squeezed it." Luke, calm do--" I let go of her hand and screamed." IM GONNA FUCKING KILL HIM!!!"

I stormed out the house and began to run.
                                 ------

I sighed. Mia...

I stopped running and decided to sit down on the curb of a liquor store. I sighed." Why would you do this to Mia?" I said. Who would do this? And why? God, Mia, I hope your okay.

I got up and decided to walk back home. I ran a little too far...

I was walking when I spotted something. Out of the corner of my eye. I see something." What the--" as I got closer, I realized what it was.

It was picture of Grayson tied to a chair. What the fuck?! I looked up to see a man wearing the same exact mask in the picture of Mia and snarled." It's you..." The man simply stood there, staring at me.

I growled." I'm going to fucking kill you!" I ran towards him and lunged. He began to fight back. I socked him in the gut but he quickly returned the favor. I fell backwards. He got up and stepped down with his foot on my arm with brute force. I screamed in agony. The man tilted his head and pulled out a needle. I tried to kick him but I couldn't. He injected the needle into my shoulder. I screamed.

He chuckled and began to pull of his mask. The world began to blurry and fade. Just when everything was about to turn black, I caught a glimpse of his face and that psychotic smile he worn.
