[ conan ]

He stood outside, having a breakdown in the arms of a police officer.
"Sir, I need your phone for evidence. We will give it back in a minute." She said, holding out her hand gently.
Conan nodded, sniffing as he took out his phone and handed it over.
The police officer looked at their texts, nodding, and gave Conan his phone back.

"Thank you." She walked away.
He nodded, sitting down on the driveway.
His Manny was gone, and overhearing the conversation some investigators where having, May was probably kidnaped or murdered.
One detective walked over. She has long blonde hair and a brown trench coat with a very nice black beanie.
"Hey there, My name is Amanda." (aMaNDA rOLLANS?? no im sorry ;( ) She smiled at him, sitting down next to him. "What's your name?"
Conan looked up at her, rubbing away his tears. "C-Conan... Conan G-Gin."
Amanda nodded. "It's nice to meet you, Conan. How did you meet Manny?"
He looked down, holding himself.

"I uh, w-was at the park. I-i ggot beat up, bad, and Mm-manny helped me. W-we got back i-in touch l-later aand became friends."
It was short but true. 
Amanda nodded again, resting her hand on Conan's knee. "Im glad he helped you, you seem like a nice kid." Her smile stayed, though it was a bit faltered.
"Umh, can you tell me if anyone would want to hurt Manny in any way?"
Conan thought for a moment, looking at his shoe.
He inhaled sharply, "W-Well, uuuhmm.. m-maybe his ddad?" He suggested, rubbing his cheeks that were stained with tears.
The detective nodded once more, letting out a sad sigh.

"Thank you, Conan, for all your help. We have more questions but I suggest that you relax. I promise you that we will get Manny back one way or another." She promised, smiling widely at him.
Conan nodded, sniffing. Amanda removed her hand from Conan's knee, getting up and walking over to her partner. They started talking, the two of them looking back at Conan with concerned glances.
Conan just sat there, trying not to cry more. It was cold and he was freezing but he didn't care. Manny was out there, lost, gone, scared, alone, and probably.. dead. He didn't want to admit it but his May could be dead or dying. He hated thinking about it, but it could be the truth. Manny.. could be.. well... gone. Off the face of the earth. Leaving Conan alone. Forever.

[ jessica ]
She ran over to Conan, leaving a girl behind.
"c-CONAN!" She sobbed, sliding down and engulfed him in a hug. Jessica proceeded to cry into him, her nails digging into his jacket.
Jessica let go of him a little bit, just enough to see his face.
"Jessica!" Conan squeaked in surprise, hugging back. "Renii!" He smiled as a small girl came over.
She had long, black braids with glasses and a black sweater. The girl, Renii, had a light grey skirt, tall black boots, and black leggings. She ran over, hugging them.
Jessica held Renii and Conan, sobbing.
She heard what happened to Manny, her best friend since primary, and overheard some of the things the detectives said.
"Ww-what happened, Cc-Conan?" She asked in a broken, fragile tone.
Conan stared into her eyes for what seemed like an hour, looking for words and forming sentences that broke as soon as they got ready to be used.
He finally said, "Manny texted me 'help' and 'im sorry' over and over again. I had my phone on silent and when I picked it up it was too late. I came over here and searched his house. Tt-there wwas blood... a-and--" Conan broke out into a sob, falling into Jessica.
The two of them cried as Renii held herself together, going to go ask more things.

[ manny ]

He awoke, tied up again. Manny had apparently passed out. 
Instead of the metallic sides of the van, the boxes he was pressed up against, and the man in front of him, he was in a closed off area with wavy metal sides. 
He looked around, squinting and blinking until he could see around him.
Where was he?

Well, he was laying down on a weak air mattress with a small pillow under his head.
By the looks of it, he was in a shipping container.
Great.
Manny opened his mouth to speak but remembered that he had cloth in his mouth again.
Even greater.

Loud screeching of metal scared Manny, forcing him to get up.
The door of metal was dragged across the ground and closed quickly. A figure came into the room, then another one and another came in.

Three people were in the room, all wearing gloves, hiking boots, and black clothes.
I wonder why.
