Chapter 6

Mitch’s POV

“What?” I asked in slight disbelief. Her eye twitched slightly and I took a slight step back.

“My…ring…is…gone! ARE YOU DEAF!? Please help me!” She yelled and started searching. After looking through the house she made me go out to the shed, get the tool box and start taking off the pipes to the sink.

“Sara I think you’re taking this too far,” I then pointed a wrench at her, ”I mean having me take the pipes off the sink and having me look at the garbage disposal is…a little crazy.” I said and got back to taking the pipes off.

“I know but it’s very valuable, you gave it to me and I loved it. Also it kinda goes with a lot of my outfits.” I chuckled.

“You have changed. You didn’t used to care if your cloths matched.”

‘Well I grew up and have you gotten the pips off yet?” After she said that i got the pipes off. After checking the pipes and looking at the garbage disposal we couldn’t find it. Next thing I knew Sara was pushing me out the door.

“W-wait where are we going!?” I said as I dug my heels into the floor so I could stop her. She pushed harder and pushed me into the rivers seat of one of the cars. She got in and gave me a look that she will tell me if I start driving. I sighed, started the car and pulled out of the driveway.

“Police station…now.” I shrugged and drove off. After we got there we talked with an officer and Sara had me give a description of the girl. After I gave the officer the description he froze and squinted his eyes.

“Sir…can you give me that description once more when I get back.” I nodded and he left, he came back with a man holding a sketchpad and a pencil. I gave the description again while the guy with the sketchpad drew. I was confused and after the guy showed me an exact sketch of the girl I said that was what she looked like.

“Sir…you might’ve just helped us with an investigation that has dragged on for a few months. That young girl matches the description of a girl that had committed the murder of her grandmother and cousin. We’ve been searching for her and she has had a history of petty thefts. It seems that your ring was taken by her. We have a suspicion on where she is and when we catch her we’ll call you.” We nodded and left. It was a silent car ride home. When we got home I put the pipes back on the sink and after I finished everyone came home.

“We’re home finally and we have food!!” I heard Ian yell. Sara and I left the kitchen and Ian handed us our food. After talking and messing around for a little bit everyone went upstairs while Sara and I ate. After we finished Sara looked at me.

“Let’s go find her…” She said after a few minutes. My eyes went wide.

“You mean go after that young girl that stole your ring and killed two people? You do realize that she might be armed right?” I asked and she nodded.

“I do and I want my ring back now. I don’t want to wait for who knows how long for my ring to turn up.” She said and I sighed.

“Fine…I’ll be back down.” I said and bolted out of my seat. I jogged up the stairs, went into my room and got the key from under my mattress. I walked over to my closet, moved a tack of cloths and instead the key into the safes key-hole.

“Well…I hoped that I would never have to use this…and I hope that I don’t.” I said as I grabbed the Ithaca 1911 and loaded it. I got up and when I walked out of the room I saw Jerome with wide eyes. He then ran into his room and I shrugged, turned around and jogged down the stairs. Sara looked at me then at the gun, wide eyed, then at me again.

“Damn how did you get a gun?”

“A fan gave it to me once. He said ‘incase things get out of hand’ and walked off. So I bought bullets and it’s been in my safe.” She shrugged, got off the couch and walked up to me.

“Do you even know how to shoot a gun like that?” She said with a smirk and she crossed her arms.

“Well…no…I don’t know how to shoot a gun in general.” She laughed slightly and took the gun out of my hand.

“I’ll hold onto this ‘cause I know how to shoot a gun.” She said and walked up the stairs. She came back down with another gun and a knife. She handed me the knife and pulled out two slender cylinders. I raised an eyebrow in confusion.

“Silencers. So if we do have to shoot they won’t make a sound.” She said and put the guns in her back pocket then paced the silencers in her pockets. I then looked at the knife.

“Hunting knife. Let’s go.” She said and we headed out. I placed the knife in the consul of the car and Sara took out the guns and placed them on her lap.

What were we getting into?

Yeah this is kinda a short subplot because I blanked out while writing this and suddenly I came up with the woman being a murderer XD
