Disconected

Chapter 5

Hey! Well sorry for the wait on this one, I've been busy with my other book Sword sister. I'm so sorry it's been a while! 😩 I will be doing this chapter in Alfred's POV, well on with the story!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

" Hey that's cheating!" Darwin said as I jumped his checkers multiple times.

" No, it wasn't. I followed the rules. You see it would've been cheating if.."

" Ok! I don't need to know HOW you could've cheated!" Darwin said as he held up his hands as a "stop I get it sign"

I laughed to myself. Sometimes he could be very short tempered,but it wasn't very often. He caught me smiling and was about to say something but then stopped, " What time were you supposed to check in at?"

" Oh crap!" It was four, and Alexandra was not going to be happy.

I jumped up off the couch,said I was sorry to be leaving so abruptly, grabbed my raincoat and headed off into the rain, yelling goodbye to Darwin. I ran so fast, my feet making huge splashes in the puddles. Usually I would stop and play around( which usually got me muddy and that didn't sit well with mom) but I was so late! Alexandra was going to have my hide!

As I was running I started to think to myself. "Alexandra would've called, she wouldn't have just let me be late, she would've called and chewed me out!" Oh well! I was home now and ready to take whatever she had to say to me.

" I'm home! Sorry I'm late!" I called out as I took off my raincoat and boots. But, there was no answer,no screaming, no feet pounding up the stairs, not even the buzz of the tv. It was completely silent,almost eire.

" Hello? Alexandra? I'm home! Sorry I'm late!"

Still no answer. I looked around the whole house and didn't find her any where! I was headed towards the basement when I smelt something........... Smoke! I ran down the stairs, tripped at the bottom,but kept moving. I ran into the living room only to find it empty. This was where the smoke came from, I was sure of it!

I cautiously took a step forward, I expected her to jump out from anywhere! But she didn't. Then I saw it, I gasped and stopped in my tracks.

There, in the middle of the room was blood and her favorite red hoodie, burnt to a crisp. I stumbled back, all I could hear was the rain and thunder. There was so much blood! It looked as though someone had drained 1/4 of it right here in the room! I didn't know what to do. I just stared at the scene, it was terrible. I took a shaky breath and walked upstairs.

You wouldn't believe my surprise when I saw Caden's car pull into the drive. He jogged up to the door and let himself in.

" Hey Alfred! I thought I'd come and surprise you guys! Surprise!" He said all excited and smiling.

I wanted to be happy he was here, but I was so in shock that I just stood there like a dead fish. Caden's smile disappeared when I didn't reciprocate the love.

' Hey what's the matter bud? What happened?" He came and set a hand on my shoulder. His eyes were full of concern. He looked around, " hey where's everybody? I know David is at a friends but where are Mom and Dad? Where's Alexandra?"

I couldn't speak, so I just took his hand and led him downstairs. On the way there I found my voice enough to say,"Mom and Dad went on a date and..... And..." I couldn't finish, I was tearing up.

We walked into the living room and I heard him gasp, it was all still there. Not that I expected it to move but, I had hoped I had just imagined it. He let go of my hand and ran upstairs, I followed. He picked up the phone and I saw him dial 911. He looked angry and terrified and sad, all in the same face.

" Yes! My name is Caden Eastwood and I live on Gander street. I'm calling to say that I ...... I think my sister was," he swallowed hard. I could tell he was fighting tears. He was a big football player that had to be at least 280 pounds of almost all muscle, nothing scared him and I had never seen him cry. " I think my sister was either kidnaped or.... Killed." He said finally.

I was shocked to hear that he thought that that could've happened. I didn't hear the rest of the conversation, I was shocked for the second time that day. I didn't even noticed when he hung up the phone. All I knew was that I was being led to my room in a comforting half hug. I didn't notice that the unshed tears had decide to show themselves until I blinked.

" Hey, listen to me bud." Caden sat me down on my bed and lifted my chin to meet his green eyes. He and Alexandra looked so much alike, dark brown hair, green eyes, tall, same high cheek bones and strong jawline. He was handsome and she was beautiful.

" The police are coming to see what happened. I need you to be strong and tell them all you know. They want to ask you questions since you were the one who found out, ok?"

" Ok, they will find her won't they?" I asked sniffling the whole time.

He smile reassuringly and said, " They will do all they can."

Just then I heard a knock on the door. I stiffened and Caden went and opened the door. Through the house I heard a voice say,

" Caden Eastwood? I'm detective Longbar, I'm here to help find your sister."

So it had begun.
