The secrets of Joanne

Chapter 37~ Quitting

Joe's POV:
I was driving around for 50 minutes or so until I was at Hyde park. I got out of my car, locked the doors and called Caspar. The first time he didn't pick up, helpful much. The second time he answered it after loads of ringing.

C: Hello?

J: Where are you!

C: In the park.

J: I know you're in the park but where in the park?!

C: We are near the big grassy area. Like, the massive field bit.

J: Have you checked the bushes?

C: Yeah, we have checked everywhere! She's just not here!

J: I'm going to look around myself. If I can't find her myself then I'm calling the police.

I hung up and started to search around. I really hope I find her.

2 and a half hours later.

I am stressing out so much right now. I'm going to call Dianne first and then the police. I can't bear to see Dianne later. I opened up my phone to set a message from, 💓😘Dianne😘💓.

I guess I have to call her now. I can't bare to see or hear her upset. I picked up my phone and clicked call.

D: Hi babe. Any luck?

J: No. None. I'm obviously calling you now and then I'm gonna call the police and file a missing person report.

D: Ok. *sniffle* Well once you do that. Come back home and I'll speak to Strictly about it and ask if I can leave after the show ends.

J: Ok. I'll call the police now and then I'll come home. Love you.

D: Love you to. Bye.

The sniffles coming through the phone. Dianne is so upset about this. Our little girl. Our little girl is gone. I dialled 999 into my phone and called.

D: 999 what service would you like? Police, Ambulance or Fire Service.

J: Police please.

D: Hold on one second.

P: Hello. What's your emergency?

J: I need to fill out a missing person report.

P: Ok. I need you to tell me what their name, sex, parents name and age of all of you.

J; Her name is Crystal Sydney Sugg.

P: How do you spell that?

J: C r y s t a l. S y d n e y. S u g g. She is a female. Her parents are Joseph Graham Sugg and Dianne Claire Buswell. Crystal is 5. I am 26 and Dianne is 28.

P: Ok. Thank you. Where was the last place you saw her?

J: Well, my friend was looking after her and they last saw her in Hyde Park.

P: Ok. Thank you. We will send some officers to look now. If you send a photo through to us we will hopefully be able to find her.

J: Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

P: No problem. We are sending officers ok the way now. You can go home if you wish and we will contact you if we do see any trace of her. Have a good day sir.

J: And you to. Thank you again. I can't say it enough.

I hung up and quickly sent a picture through to the police officers. I started walking as I heard faint sirens coming from the distance. Voices started coming to my head. 'What if she's gone forever?' 'What if we will never see our little baby again?' 'What if- enough Joe!' I'm going to drive back home and tell Dianne about it. She has rehearsals tomorrow and she has to go or she will get sacked from the show. That's what happened to Chloe and she hasn't been mentioned on the show since.

50 minutes later
Dianne's POV:
After a lot of throwing up and wanting to pass out. The door knob turned and I got up and ran to the door. I saw Joe's fluffy brown hair and jumped onto him, Joe almost falling over. "I'm guessing you missed me then babe." Joe laughed. "Yeah. But the real question is did you find Crystal?" Dianne asked concerned. "Sit down, I'll get some water for you and I'll tell you all about what happened, okay?" Dianne sat down and had a look of concern on her face.

"So what happened then?"

"So, the police are looking for her now and they said they would contact me if they found any traces of her but so far nothing is to be seen."

Dianne looked away from Joe for a second and bit her lip. Joe knew immediately that she was going to break down into tears.

"My baby. She's gone!"

The rest of the day was silent.

Nothing.

Just plain silence.

Hi. Sorry I've been away for so long. I keep forgetting I have this book because I'm writing another one called - What are we? - plus I have no ideas for this book anymore. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas (or break) and a happy new year.
