MadArcher💚 [Once Upon A Time]

Chapter 20

First of all, THANK YOU FOR THE 4K READS!! I'm so happy people still read this book, even though I took this long break from writing. Enjoy this next chapter :)

Tilly's POV:

It couldn't have been Margot who turned off the lights. I held my breath. I didn't know what to do. This moment felt like centuries, but it was only seconds. Then I ran. I opened the door and went through. I didn't know what was waiting for me there, but I had to try. I stumbled and fell on the ground. I looked up. Margot. I saw Margot. I had found her. She didn't seem happy though. I could read the fear in her eyes and she tried to speak to me. Something like: ''Turn around''? Turn around? I needed a second to think about that. Then I realized what she meant. I turned around and suddenlt everything was black around me. And all I felt was pain. 

Detective Rogers' POV:

When I came back to the car, Tilly was gone. I couldn't say I was surprised. She wanted to solve this mystery herself. But I also knew that if Nick was even as half as bad as I thought, it wasn't going to end well. I dialed a phone number and got detective Weaver on the phone. ''What?'' he asked. ''Tilly's gone and I need you to find her'' I said. ''She's Tilly. She could be anywhere and she's probably fine'' Weaver responded, ready to hang up the phone. ''Yeah, but I took her to find the Candy Killer'' I said and regretted it immediately. ''You took Tilly on a dangerous police mission??'' Weaver sounded angry and he probably thought I saw the dumbest cop ever. ''Just find her and call me'' I said and hang up. I hoped Weaver started searching immediately. 

30 minutes later I got a call from Weaver. ''And?'' I asked. ''She ran after a man in black. And then she disappeared from sight. She is somewhere north in Hyperion Heights, but that's all I can do. I am busy. Good luck'' Weaver said and hang up. I took a deep breath. I started the car and drove north. I needed to find her. If she followed Nick, she was in great danger. 

I entered a building. I had checked every building in the neighbourhood. She wasn't there. This had to be it. The door was open, but there was no one in the house. I checked every door. And then I found it. When I opened the door I heard someone. There were multiple people down there. I needed to check it out. Tilly was probably down there. And maybe, maybe, if they were lucky, Margot was down there too. My heart pounded in my chest, but I ignored it. I pulled out my gun, loaded it and walked down the basement.
