The trilogy of Gotham.

Part Eight

Its been a month for me here and its only me and Ms Smith striding uphill today. Alex faked a cold. I knew he just didn't wanna come because the air around us changed ever since I went out with Alec.

He'd even denied any allegations of crashing me but just caring for my well-being but deep down I knew he was hurting. Alex had something for me.
Ms Smith even noticed once when he came over to visit. After that, he reduced his visits because he didn't wanna be pinned.
Alex was turning out as a brother I never had and this relationship wasn't to be broken. I don't wanna lose him.

We jog further today but unlike other days, our pace is slightly sluggish. Ms Smith seems so tired and keeps resting to catch her breath as I holdup for her. I notice my surroundings as I wait for her to catch up, its really far. The twigs are now evidently protruding to the trail.

Then I hear movement in the nearby bush. The leaves rattle and then there's dead silence once more. Little did I know that I'd caught my breath.

Then Ms smith laughs.
I laugh to realizing its nothing. The movement begins again and this time round, it's louder and more fierce.

It starts to get creepy. The area is now foggy too, I loose sight of Ms Smith.

"Ms, I think we should be going," I retort backwards.

There's complete silence.

"Hello stop scaring the hell out of me," I walk towards her but there's no one in view. "Ms Ms," I begin calling.
There's dead silence,I could feel even the sound of my heart beating.

"Ms Ms," am now really scared.

I find one sneaker lying on the log, the're marks of a struggle on the ground. Like she was being dragged away.

Then I make the loudest scream.
This is real, it's really happened. After the alarms Mr Smith warned me against.
Its my fault. Am now wailing entering into the thick woods myself.

"Ms Smith where you?" I cry moving further.

The detectives took over the search and all morning there wasn't word of where Ms Smith was except for the snicker. Mr Smith kept saying it wasn't my fault but deep down I was at fault.

Am here lying in bed with Alex as he cuddles me. He runs circles on my back, am having endless tears.

The silence within us comforts me.

"Why on such a day would Ms Smith vanish," I sob. "She has such a big heart like the sun. She housed me and provided me a good paying job."

"She'll be fine. Am sure she's lost in the woods," Alex defends after the silence.

"Don't you get it, she's been missing for over twelve hours!" am startled, sitting upright. Tears uncontrollably move down my cheeks. He extends his hands to my face, then rubs the tears tenderly.

"It breaks my heart, to see you crying," he says.

Ignoring, " Is it the fast time such a mystery befalls the trail?" asking and he stays silent. "Why didn't you warn me?"

"Am not sure too. Its just a myth."

Are you guys enjoying, what do you think is happening to Ms Smith. Is she really safe.
