It's a cold universe

Chris view:

As we entered the police station I had a weird feeling. I've never been here before. I'm feeling like I did something wrong, and we have still no clue where Milly could be. This drives me crazy. There need to  be a sign. I was worried the whole time over since I found that blood on the street behind the store. Is it really her blood? I hopw they have the results now, because I need to know that. Otherwise I think I'm gonna forvce them to do it. What the hell as happened to me? I'm not my selfe anymore. I never had pessimistic thoughts since the divorce from Gwyneth.  And now they should haunt me again? I think I'm just not ready for all this.

,, You are white like a corpe. Are ya okay Chris ?¨, Will asks me caring.
,, Yeah I'm alright. I'm just so worried. That's all.¨, I respond.
,, witht he help from the police we gonna find her!¨, he promises me.

I take a deep look in his brown eyes and give him a weak smile.
,,Thank you Willy !¨, I say
,, No problem !¨, he replies and pattes me on the back.

::Mr. Martin ?¨, a woman asks on my left side.
,,Yeah. That's me.¨, I answer.
,,My name is Detective Diaz. May you follow me to your room, where my co- worker Mr. Hernandez asks you a few question about your girlfriend.¨
,,Of course. Will, stay here. Itz won't take long.¨

He nodds and than I'll turn and follow the woman to the special room.

As she openes  the door, Mr. Hernandez is already waiting for me. As he sees us both, he stands up and shakes my hand.
,,Mr. Martin. It's an honor to meet you!¨
,,Thank you. It's a pleasure for me too.¨
,,So will you sit down.¨, the policeman with the green eyes and black fluffy hair introduce me.
I nodd and try to stay as calm as possible. I'm sitting in the police station and I'm being questioned right now. How can I stay calm?

I take the seat infront of the man, lean back, close my eyes and take a deep breath.
,,Are you okay ?¨, he asks again.
,,Yeah I'm good. Sorry I think ths was just a bit much for me in just a short time.¨, I explain.
,, of course . It needs a bit of time. So I'm gonna ask you a few questions now about you, Milly's life and other things. Is this okay for you?¨
,,Yeah, sure! That's why I'm here, right ?¨, I giggle a bit.
He nodds and starts the recorder.

,, 2nd March 1977.¨

,, Born in?¨

,, Devon. United Kingdom!¨

,, Currently living in?¨

,, California and London. I'm switching!¨

,, Relationship status?¨

,, Taken. I also have two kids. Apple Martin, 14 years old and Moses Martin, 12 years old. Both living with my ex- wife Gwyneth Paltrow.

,, Profession?¨

,, Singer, songwriter, pianist and guitarrist from Coldplay.¨

,, Good these have been all basic informations now. Now to the real problem. How are you relate to  Milly Jenkins ?¨

,,She is my girlfriend since nearly 2 months now and we met last year at our last concert in Argentina, We fell in love with each other and that's all.

,, How does the other band members tolerate her?¨

,, The boys, I can't surpress a giggle, the boys love her. Especially Jonny Buckland. I think she has a special connection to him.¨

,, What you mean ?¨

,,Nothing much. Its just.....for example if I have to work long hours with the other boys, Jonny takes walks with her or they do their fitness routine every day. They're really close. But before you wanna ask that question, no, they could never have a relationship.

,, Okay. So when did you last see her?¨

,, Today in the morning. She slept at my place and we had breakfast. Later I told her that I'm gonna pick her up when she was finished with the work and than she left.¨

,, Did she say anything in advance. That she gonna be later that day or sth. like that ?¨

,, No in fact it was quite the opposite. She phoned me at 5.15 pm. and told me that I didn't need to come because she left earlier. I waited in my flat and than Mister Buckalnd also came and than we searched for her and found that blood on the street. We only suspected that's from Milly. Have I been right ?¨

,, We don't know it. We're still waiting for the results.

And did you ever see her........?¨, he begin but he couldn't finish his sentence because a man with grey hair enters the room.

,,Sorry to disturb you  Peter, but we got the results from the blood on the street!¨, he says in a deep voice.

Ohh finally !

,,Is it from Milly?¨, I ask concerned.
He takes a deep breath and looks me deep in the eyes. ,, Yes it's from her!¨

Gosh I knew it! Holy crap ! Okay now just stay calm!

I fold my hands infront of my face and try to stay cool

,, Thanks Daniel! Mr. Martin? This is Milly's stepfather. Daniel Jenkins!¨, the other police officer introduces him.

We both shake hands and talk about the situation. Than he changes his seat with Mr. Hernandez, who left the room, and asks me a few more questions about her.

,, She was so happy before Christmas. Than she was sad. Now she is happy again and now she got captured. Can you explain that?¨

,, At least I can try it! We met last year in Argentina. I just saw her when the stadium was closed and the show was done. We both flew back home, sperated, and than we had something like a letter exchange. Than we met and she got to know all of us. The band and I showed her, our private lifes and so on. Than I said something to her, which wasn't nice at all. She was dissappointed and hurt and than she left. Christmas came and I still had no answer from her. I thought that I lost her forever. But than my best mater, Jonny Buckland, forced me to phone her and convinced me to a meeting. We met after our agrument and now we were happy togther. Today was so strange. You think that we lost her completly ?¨

,, No, she is a strong woman, who can handle a lot of things. She is my daughter and I'm gonna do anything to get her back.¨

Milly was right! He's her  real dad!

,, The band and I gonna help you with everything we have.¨

,, I know and I'm thankfull for that. Susan and I don't know what to do! I mean, she isn't a 10 year old kid anymore, but I still see her as one.¨

,, I see your point. I have a small daughter either. I feel you.¨

We chuckle a bit and than suddenly my phone buzzes:

1 MESSAGE FROM: MILLY HONEY

No money

Milly

What the hell!! First of all, she don't write her name under a message because she knows, that I have saved her number. I stare at it like an idiot. She is alive! She. Is.Alive !

,, Mr. Martin, are you okay?¨, Daniel asks.
,, Milly is alive!¨, I respond and with that words I turn my phone to his face.

Everyone could truly see, that he had no clue what was going on.
