Taken

Chapter five

~~~~~~~

The officer, I think his name was Officer Ledger, inspected the house then sat down and interagated ME. Can you beleive it? I most certainly didnt. 

"Where were you around the time of the kidnapping?" 

"Are you serious?!" I was rubbing my temples. Too many people were here, all talking at once. 

"Just answer the questions as truthfully as you can." Officer Ledger leaned back in his seat. 

I sighed. I didnt want to tell anybody I had ditched my sister for a Script concert. "I was with my friends. We were, hanging out." 

Officer Ledger looked at me seriously, and said, "Can anyone verify that? Do you have a witness?" The last thing I wanted to do was to bring my friends into this. Accually, the only thing worse would having my parents find out. They are going to kill me, this is awful. 

"Um" I said, nervously. "We can call Angel." Our eyes never met; I could tell that he sensed how nervous I was. Shaking, I dialed Angel and the first thing she said was about how awesome the concert was. "Yeah, hey Angel I gotta ask you something."

"Miss Angel. I'm Officer Ledger," He said cutting in. "Can you verify that your friend was with you hanging out today?" 

"Yes, I can." I let out a huge sigh of releif, although I was far from relaxed. "We went to a concert, acctually." SHUT UP ANGEL, I thought in my head. Great, now he knew I ditched Romona. He hung up, thanking Angel. 

"So, your alibi checks out, but-" 

I cut him off, "But what? I obviously didnt kidnapp my sister! I wasnt here when she was kidnapped! I didnt even know she had been till I got hom ten minutes ago!" I was screaming in his face, on the verge of tears. "As for my "Alibi" I am NOT a suspect, so stop treating me like I am!" I startd sobbing right then and there. Officer Ledger was absolutly shocked. 

He gathered the papers he had and walked out, "Thank you." That was it, no sorry. Just, left. 

I don't know how long it was until I stood up from the kitchen table, staring blankly at the chair he had been sitting in. No longer crying, I rubbed my eyes and sniffled a few times before checking my phone. Angel had called 9 times, and texted me 14 times. She must have told the others, I had frantic vioce mails from both Felix and Logan. 

I listened to Felix's first. "Hey Melonie. Angel said you had cops at your place. You okay? Did someone hurt you? Did you hit somebody with your car!? Of course not, I mean, we dropped you off right?Did we accidentlly steal a car!?Of course not, or my keys wouldnt have worked." I couldnt help but smile at how mush he cared about me. 

Logan's was next, "Hey mel, herd the police were at your house. Angel said they needed an alabi. What happened that they could have needed an alibi for? You didnt do anything wrong right? Whatever happened, just know you can truest me. I'm here for you." I hated that he called me "Mel", I barly listen to the rest of the message. He seemed slightly too calm about the whole cops thing, I didnt notice because I was still hung up on that "Mel" thing. 

The viocmails escaladed from worry to panic. When I thought Felix couldnt panic anymore, he did. "Hey, you havent called me back. Was that cop fake?Oh my gosh, did he MURDER you! Oh my gosh are you dead!? Meloni!?! Oh my- I am talking to a corpse..." I hung up mid-message and called him, he was aboviously the most freaked out.

I was passing around the room, My best friend was MURDERED. I was freakig out. My phone went off on th ekitchen table. I checked the caller ID, I had to do a double take before lunging on the phone. "Melonie?! Are you a ghost?! Wait ghosts arnt real...right?" 

There was lauphter on the other end, "No, felix I am fine. The Officer was real and was just, trying to help. I'm sorry I didnt answer." 

"Wait! help with what? Did you get like run over? I should have walked you to the door..." 

"Felix!" Melonie yelled. "I am fine, It's-" She took a deep breath. "It's Ramona she-"

"Did you kill her! Melonie she might have driven us all crazy, but wasnt that a little far!?" I pictured Ramona cut in half with Meloni crazed face leening over her, it made my body shake. 

"No Felix, I didnt kill Ramona." She was crying. "I didnt...I didnt even-" She was ful on sobbing. 

"Hang on I am comming over there. Can um, you cleam the blood on your own?" I still think she might have killed Ramona. She hung up. As fast as I could, I grabbed the keys and ran out to my car. Melonie didn't live very far from me, but it seamed like forever until I finally got there. The red lights seamed longer, the traffic seamed worse. Maybe it was all in my head. 

Mid-drive I realized how crazy this was. Or rather, how crazy I had been. Everything about not knowing, waiting for her to call me back, and the lingering feeling that Melonie and Romona could be in grave danger. Even though she said she was fine, I couldn't shake the feeling. I parked my car sloppily in the driveway, at this point I didn't even care about my parking skills. All I cared about was Melonie. 

I didnt know what it was, but I think I loved...Melonie...

Authors note: 

Hey... Note of apologies-

So Fruitcup94 and I were writing, having a good time writing when BAM! All of out progress since the last time we saved was lost. What happened was we had the funniest section ever, and I hit a button, "x"ed out of the thing that popped up and, you know the rest. 

So, we had to re-write it and, it came out a little less funny. We tried to make up for it in Felix being extra crazy. :p 

Thank you- Your delighted Authors,
