Turning Point (A Reaching Out Novel)

Chapter Forty-Four

{A/N: Since it is Prince Harry's birthday, I am publishing two chapters today!!! Happy Birthday, Prince Harry! }

When we came in the apartment, William and Kate was lounging around our living room.

" Well, I hope you are enjoying your stay. " I said.

William was startled and Kate almost fell down her seat.

" I'm gonna head upstairs. " Allana said.

" You okay?" I asked

" Yeah, sure, I'm just going to check out something. I'll be right back. " she replied

Then she went upstairs.

" Any updates?" I asked.

" No, William Bassingthewaighte does not know where Carmela is. " William said.

" But does he know about Carmela's way of thinking and the things that she'd done?"

" We have no way of knowing. He's lawyering up, and his lawyer is very, I don't know, undefeatable and a killing machine. " William said.

" Oh. "

" I'm just gonna go and check on Allana." Kate said.

Then she went upstairs.

" I think he knows what Carmela has done. " I said as I sat down.

" Yeah, it's unlikely to keep a secret from her husband, or William could have figured it out on her own. " William said.

" Yeah, I-" I started but I didn't finish because Kate was running down the stairs, panting.

" Kate, what's going on?" I asked.

She was panting so hard.

" Allana," she said

" What about her?" I asked.

" she's "

" She's what?" William asked

" gone. "

I felt my eyes pop open.

" Dead?" I asked.

She shook her head.

" No! Gone! She's not in her room! " she said.

" What?"

I ran upstairs and went to our room.

Kate's right! She's not in here. All of her things are, including the things that she brought up.

I looked for her security button, and it's not here.

And I am panicking.

I immediately pressed my button, sending off blaring alarms around the palace.

Austin came in in a hurry.

" Sir?" he asked.

" Allana's missing. "

He grabbed his walkie-talkie and spoke.

" Base, come in, come in, over. " he said.

" Base, over. " the walkie talkie said.

" Sparrow is missing, do you copy? over. "

" Copy. "

" Over and out. "

" Austin, I want you to check her phone records, security cameras, everything. "

" Yes, sir. "

He grabbed his phone and read something.

" Sir, the Duchess left 10 minutes ago, leaving in a silver BMW. "

" Is she driving?"

" Yes, sir. She went to the garage and got her car. "

" It's her car?"

" Yes, sir "

" She just left 10 minutes ago, so she's not that far. So, follow her. " I said.

He bowed and left.

Why would she leave?

I'm afraid.

And freaking out.

Allana has not stayed here for at least an hour, and she just got out of the hospital, AGAIN, and now, she left, without telling anyone.

I can't breathe.

I feel like the world is compressing.

Where the hell would Allana go?

I think Carmela's in on this.

I can sense it.

Allana left no notes around the room, no notes on the side table, no notes anywhere. And it's unlikely for her to tell anyone where she is, because she only tells me where she is.

I swear I could kill Carmela if she's behind ALL of this.

Well, I know that she already is, but I have to hear her confession.

I would kill her for the sake of my unborn child.

But I couldn't kill anybody, nor ask anyone to do it.

The Prince-ly thing to do and the humanly thing to do is turn to the other cheek.

I can feel that Carmela is behind Allana's disappearance.
