Chapter 8: Where's Seth?

A Few Days Later

Seth's POV:

It's been a few days since I accused Dean of cheating and he was still not talking to me. He spends a lot of time out of the house and when we are home together, he barely acknowledges my presence. I hated not talking to him and I felt bad that I wanted to jump to extreme measures when I didn't even know the full story.

"Daddy, are you okay?" Harper asked me.

"I'm fine Harper." I said.

"Is Dad still not talking to you?" she asked.

"No, he's not." I sighed.

I started thinking and realized one thing. All this shit going on has been happening since Hunter returned. I know he's out to get us but why?

I picked my phone up and dialed a number.

"Hey, it's me. I need your help with tracking someone." I said.

Dean's POV:

I've been spending a lot of time with Roman recently. I was still mad at Seth for not trusting me and I've been getting Roman's help with trying to find Hunter. We tried everything we could but nothing was working.

"I don't understand. It's like he doesn't exist. No credit card details, no bank alerts, no phone calls. Nothing." Roman said.

"Well, he's out there somewhere. He's after Seth and I and he won't stop until he ruins us." I said.

"Have you talked to Seth yet?" Roman asked.

"No, and I don't want to. He hurt me. He said he wanted a divorce without even hearing me out."

"Look, I was there when he saw the picture. He was really hurt. Even when I saw it, I thought, what the hell? If I saw a picture like that of my wife, I would probably react the same way. You shouldn't blame Seth. You know you would react the same if you saw a picture like that of Seth." 

I sighed to myself, knowing he was right.

"Fuck you Roman. Always proving me wrong." I laughed, making him laugh too.

"Go and talk to him. He's probably still really upset."

I quickly ran home and went inside, seeing Seth wasn't there. 

"Seth?" I called out but instead of seeing Seth, I saw Nikki. "Nikki, what are you doing here?"

"Seth called me and asked me to look after the kids." she said.

"Why?"

"He said he had to go somewhere. He didn't say where."

I nodded and pulled my phone out, dialing his number. It didn't even ring. It went straight to voicemail.

"Shit." I muttered under my breath.

"Don't worry. He probably had somewhere he needed to be." Nikki said. "He said it was important."

I left the house and made my way to my in laws to see if he was there. I knocked on the door and my mother in law opened it.

"Hey Dean. Is everything okay?" she asked.

"Is Seth here?"

"No, why?"

"We got in an argument a few days ago and we haven't been talking much. I came home just now and he's not home. He left Nikki to look after the kids. Did he maybe tell you where he went?"

"No, I haven't spoken to him for the past couple of days." she said, looking concerned.

"Okay, don't worry about it. When I find him, I'll let you know." I said.

"Okay, you could try Brandon's house. He might have stopped there."

"Okay, thanks."

I walked to Brandon's house but I got the same response. They didn't know where Seth was.

"Where are you Seth?" I asked myself.

A Few Days Later

It's been a few days and Seth still hasn't returned home. He hasn't replied to my texts or returned any of my phone calls. The kids were worried about him too so I had to lie to them and say he was on some business trip and wouldn't be back for a while. They kept saying they wanted to talk to him but if Seth wasn't answering any of my calls, it wouldn't be possible to talk.

I told the police and they were all looking for Seth but so far, they had nothing. They were looking through his phone records and saw he had contacted someone the day he disappeared so they were still tracking the number down.

I had a bad feeling about all this. I knew there was something wrong. I felt like Seth was in some sort of danger and I wouldn't be able to ever forgive myself if something happened to him. A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I got up and opened it, seeing two police officers.

"Mr Lopez-Good?" one of the officers asked.

"Yeah?"

"We've found the person Seth contacted on the day of his disappearance."
