Chapter 2
5 YEARS LATER…
Derrick’s POV
I was sitting at the kitchen table, already in my uniform for work, half asleep, waiting for the coffee to finish so I could grab a cup.
I loved this time of day, even a little after 6 in the morning, half asleep I still appreciated it. It was so quite and peaceful.
It wasn’t a plan but a year after hearing no news about Angela I decided to move into the home we were suppose to move into together. At first it was harder than I thought it would be but then it got easier.
I thought about moving when I met Carly. When she wanted us to live together I suggested moving somewhere else but she loved the house so we stayed. I thought about it everyday since I proposed to her but again she had a good point, everything was already in place, it would be such a hassle to move and we loved it here. I knew she was right but it was strange living here with someone other than Angela.
I heard the beep of the coffee machine, letting me know it was ready and I grabbed a cup. I sat back down at the kitchen table, starting to drink it slowly when the phone rang.
I stood up fast to get the phone, I didn’t want it to wake up Carly. As much as I loved her, she definitely wasn’t a morning person.
‘Hello?’ I answered.
‘Hi Derrick.’
‘Who is this?’ I asked not sure who it was. The voice sounded familiar but I couldn’t place it.
‘It’s Dave…Angela’s Dad.’ He said.
‘Oh wow, hi…how are you Dave?’ I asked him, wondering why the hell did he call, and why so early.
‘I’m alright, you?’ he asked.
‘I’m good. Is Barb ok?’ I asked.
‘Yeah, she’s alright. It’s Angela.’ He said.
‘What do you mean, it’s Angela?’ I asked, getting more confused as our conversation went on.
‘We got a call from the police station telling us to come to the hospital.’ He said.
‘What?!’ I practically yelled into the phone.
‘She never left Derrick, well…not willingly. She was missing.’ Dave said.
‘What do you mean, missing?’ I asked him.
‘Exactly that.’
‘You mean this whole time?’ I asked. All this time I wanted answers and at this moment I just had a million more.
