Chris and Kamaal

Chapter 52: Escape Plan

Chapter 52: Escape Plan

*Ms. Richardson's POV*

It's been two days since my son has been missing. It's every mothers nightmare to have the police tell you your child was either missing, or worse, dead. My whole  world has been falling apart. I took Ashley out of school for a while because I didn't want anyone giving her too much attention. We've been in and out the police station, but nothing has happened yet. Eventually the detective walks up to us.

"Have y'all found out anything yet?"

"Not yet...we-"

"So what the hell have y'all been doing these past few days, playing hopscotch?:

"We've been trying to search, but we keep coming up short."

"I'm not understanding the problem. Isn't there a certain protocol y'all follow? Did you go back to where he was kidnapped at? Did you ask any witnesses that could've been around the area? Did you find any evidence? Don't give me no bullshit cause I watch CSI faithfully."

"We're doing the best we can. Solving a case like this with no evidence is pretty tough."

"Then y'all better call the FBI or the Swat Team or something. I want my child found!!!"

I get up from my chair, grab Ashley from outside the Detective Office and head out the police station. As I'm holding Ashely's hand she taps me on my leg.

"Mommy where's Chris?"

I had a feeling she would eventually ask. I can't tell her that her brother is missing.

"Chris is out playing hide and seek."

"Well are we gonna find him so he can be it?"

"Of course we will baby."

There's a silence between us before we get in the car. Ashley sits in the backseat and puts her seatbelt on. I start my car and head out the parking lot.

"Mommy."

"Yes honey?"

"If Chris is playing hide and seek, why was he on tv?"

"Umm, well he was so good at hiding, that we have to get the whole community involved."

"Is that why you were talking to the police cops"

"Yes baby...they called me and told me that they wanted to play too"

"Mommy, I hope we find Chris so I can be it next."

I look at her through the rearview mirror as a tear falls from my face. I pull up to the nearest McDonald's to get Ashley and I something to eat.

*Kamaal's POV*

"Kamaal.....Kamaal....KA-MAAL!!!"

"Oh shit, my bad..."

"Yo you alright kid? You've been stuck in this trance since you got here last night." Mookie says to me

"I'm alright, I'm just thinkin about Chris."

"Don't worry man, we're gonna find and fuck those niggas up who got him."

"I know, I know....I just be thinkin the worst things are happenin to him right now."

"Yeah, I feel you on that. But the good news is, we may have a feeling that we know where he's at." Mookie says as he starts rolling a blunt 

"How do y'all know that? The police don't even know shit."

"Fuck the police, nigga."

"Well where do y'all think he's at?"
