Badlands

Part One: Entering Badlands

Chapter Seven// The Journalist 

Sherriff Randolph didn't take much time to try to take matters in his own hands. The parents of Zac Urnis called him a day before he knew the case but he wasn't there to pick up the phone. The realization of what could happen and what has already happened blows his mind as he looks through the files. The missing peeople's report. The time and who he could have been with at the time.

Suddenly the door slams open and it reveals Susan Urnis. Her eyes are blood shot and her lips are a quivering mess.

"Jesus Christ Susan!" the chief exclaims and picks up a peice of paper he dropped while the slam of the door startled him.

"Ha-Have you found our boy yet?" Susan asks and then sits down in the chair next to the desk without being offered it. She was also indicating the father about the case of their lost son, "I-I don't know what else we can do."

The chief goes on the computer and starts to fill out the missing person file more, "so you don't know where he was at last?"

The woman shrugs her shoulders, "I honestly don't know. Zac doesn't tell me much , he -" Susan looks down and then she licks her lips as she starts to act calmer, "he has been really off and not himself ever since the divorce with Wyatt."

Yeah. It was true though. Word was around she divorced him because he cheated on her. But that was just an accusation.

"He could be with his father, his cousin, his aunt or uncle. Maybe he had to much?" the sheriff asks.

"No my Zac is not like that. He calls me and makes sure that I know he is okay. It's been six days Rudolph."

"It's Randolph, " the chief corrects her. You would think she would know his name since the town was small and quiet. Everyone knows everyone. Maybe it was just her not thinking correctly.

"Anyways. He wouldn't do this to me. His father isn't really close to him anyway. He wouldn't go there at all. Hence why he ended up staying with me," Susan grabs a tissue from the box on the desk and blows in it. She puts it in the waste basket next to the door and sits back down, "it just doesn't make sense he would go there."

"Why do you say that?" he asks and then looks from his computer screen to her and her crying mess.

"Because. Wyatt would call him names. Say he is different than all the other boys in his class, different than even his friends, like for instance he's a -" Susan stutters and almost doesn't want to repeat the word, "a fag."

The chief blinks his eyes, "and he isn't one is he?"

Susan gawks at him and shakes her head, "of course not! My son is a bright, intelligent, smart, good looking lad that can get any woman he wants."

The chief rolls his eyes as she used three words to describe the same adjective then he leans closer to her, "ninety nine out of hundred percent of the time a kid goes missing the kid is with a parent or a relative. How do you know he hasn't went somewhere?"
