Try Again ~ Bughead

Chapter Eighteen

Jughead POV

"Islas here." He said and I started to panic.

"I'm on my way." I said and I hung up. "Boyle I need you to drive me somewhere now." I said

As we drove down there with the sirens on all I could think was. What the hell happened? When we got there I jumped out of the car. The coffee shop doors where wide open and there was police and ambulance there and there was police tape everywhere. I quickly spotted Terry and Amy crouched down I showed my badge that was around my neck to the officer stood at the tape and I ducked under it and started jogging towards Terry and Amy. Then I saw Isla look over Amy's shoulder her face was covered in tears and her eyes where red and puffy her eyes locked with mine and I started to speed up.

"Daddy!!" She shouted and both Terry and Amy stood up and turned to me as Isla started to run towards me. As soon as she was in front of me I picked her up and held her close to me as she started to cry into the crook of my neck.

"It's ok Isla. I'm here I got you." I said as I rubbed her back. "Baby are you hurt?" I said trying to see if she'd been hurt and she just shook her head no and cling to me and I walked towards Terry and Amy.

"What happened?"

"Ethan walked into the coffee shop. Robbed the place and then held a gun to Betty and made her walk out with him. She hasn't been seen since." Any said and my heart start to beat faster and faster.

"Not again." I said closing my eyes and burying my head into Islas hair why she rested her head in the crook of my neck.

"Ethans done this before?" Terry says

"No. Her dad when we where in high school and she was pregnant with Isla I......I don't see her for months and when she came back the day after she had Isla. I didn't know anything about our baby or is Betty was ok and now......now it's happening all over again."

"Don't worry Jug. We'll find her she'll be ok."

"She's pregnant and she was so happy today." I said softly.

"We'll find her Jug. Just go and take Isla home we'll talk to the captain and explain the situation."

"I can't go home. I have to find Betty."

"Jug Isla needs you. Go home we're going to scout for witnesses and check security footage."

"I can't just go home I need to find her I need to know she's ok." I said holding Isla close.

"Daddy I want to go home maybe Ethan took mommy there." I heard Isla whisper and it broke my heart.

"Yeah maybe. Let's go home then." I whispered in her ear and she snuggled into the crook of my neck. "Keep me in the loop guys. If you find anything I want to know."

"We will." Terry said and I nodded and carried Isla and got into a cab and went to Betts apartment where I kept a lot of my stuff and spent most of my time.

I kept tight hold of Isla as I unlocked the door. I pushed the door open and looked around the apartment and everything was the same as it was this morning. I walked into Islas room and let her down on her bed and pulled the covers over her as she'd fell asleep why we where on our way home. I kissed her forehead before making sure her window was shut securely then leaving the room and walking to the kitchen and making some coffee then I took it into mine and Betty's bedroom. I put my coffee on the night stand and then sat in the end of the bed.

I pulled my wallet out of my pocket and I pulled the ultrasound picture from this morning out off my wallet before putting it back in my pocket and I held the picture in my hand as I looked down at the little dot it brought tears to my eyes. All I wanted to do was hold her and tell her I loved her and that It was going to be ok.
