Chapter 12.

Alex's POV

*Two weeks later*

No one has seen or heard from Alida or her father in two weeks. I shouldn't have let her leave my house, I should've told the cop what her father has done to her right then so she could've stayed. Who knows what that asshole is doing to her right now. My mom already did the paperwork to foster her, she just needs to be found now. I heard a knock on the window of my car, I looked to see the detective, Sarah, who is working on the case to find Alida. We were meeting up because she said she might have found something. We entered the diner, the smell of bacon and eggs hit my nose and now I'm hungry.

"How are you holding up Alex?" I shrugged.

"I can't focus in school anymore so I just didn't go the last two days."

"Well hopefully you can go back after I tell you what I found." I nodded my head lettering her know to continue.

"We looked at Mr. Santos' purchase history and he recently purchased some food at a store at this location." She showed me the address of the store and I stared at it.

"What does that have to do with finding him?"

"This store is located very closely by a house that they bought back in 2009. They still own this house so it's probably used for the summer. What makes me think he and Alida is there is because nobody else knows about this house and it is located in a private land."

"This is great! Alida has to be here. So you guys are going in tonight right? Now that you have a hit."

"We have to get a warrant first. If the judge sees the evidence today we can go in tonight. If not, it will take a week or less to get the warrant."

"Well how about we go to the court now and ask for the warrant." I got up and walked out the door. Sarah caught up to me and stopped me from getting in my car.

"You go home, I'll call you and let you know if I get the warrant or not. Okay?" I sighed and got in my car.

"I'm giving you till 5 o'clock tonight to call me. No later." She nodded and I drove off. I just hope the judge lets her get this warrant tonight.

*4:50*

"Relax Alex She will call, she still has 10 minutes." My mom said. Ash and Logan were sitting on the couch while I was pacing around the room waiting for Sarah to call me with the news.

"What if they can't get her till next week? She's already been suffering for two weeks." I sat down out of frustration and my feet hurt from walking too long.

"Alida is a strong girl. She will be fine." My mom patted my back. Ash nodded in agreement.

"Yeah! I bet Alida is kicking his a-"

*ring ring*

I picked up the phone faster that flash can run down a block.

"Hello? Sarah?"

"We got it Alex! We will be going in tonight to search the house." I jumped and silently screamed. Let's hope Alida is here so I could keep her safe forever.

"Can I come?"

"That's not a good idea Alex you co-"

"Please? I want to be there when she gets out." I heard a sigh on the other line.

"Fine. But you have to stay in the car, I don't want you getting hurt. Be ready in 5 minutes." She hung up the phone.

I ran upstairs and changed my clothes and got a pair of clothes Alida can change into. I was about run back downstairs but something popped into my head. I turned to get the bright red bag, of all doesn't end well I would need this. I heard a car beep outside. I walked downstairs and opened the door.
