On with the chapter

Leo's P.O.V

We finally decided to go and see Zya's mum 'cause she's probably worried. "I'm nervous" Gio said out of the blue "Who wouldn't. Which parents wants to hear that their child is missing" Jack replies him.

"We will be fine ...hopefully" Emma said her eyes red 'cause she has been crying non stop after it became obvious that Zya wasn't coming back anytime soon. Jack kisses her forehead and holds her close to himself.

I was about to talk but my phone started ringing, I checked and saw Mark's name flashing on the screen. I sighed and picked it "Hey Mark" I said as I changed the lane so it will take a longer time to get to Zya's house so we could get ourselves together.

"Hey man, are you coming to tonight's fight" he asked "No I can't come. Did you find anything" I asked him "No but I will tell you once I do" he said and hung up. Mark was a friend I made in the ring. We trained together and instantly became friends, he is also training to be on the police force so I trusted him with Zya's case since the real cops were useless.

"We are here" Emma said and I saw we were already at Zya's house. I blew out a breath and we all got down, Emma rang the doorbell and after five seconds the door swung open to reveal Zya's mum in a blue summer gown with her hair in a high ponytail.

"Hey guys come in" She said with a huge smile making me sad because she doesn't know what we are about to tell her. "Hey Miss Russo" we all greeted her "How many times do I have to tell you to call me Natalie" She said in a fake angry voice.

We all laughed nervously and Emma said "Hi Natalie". "That's better" She said with a small smile and told us to sit while she went to bring some cookies she just finished baking. "So why are you guys here" She asked us after a while. We all looked at each other not knowing what to say.

"Uhmm Miss- I mean Natalie I don't know how to say this but Zya is missing" I said and Emma started crying all over again. Natalie looked shocked "W-w-what do you mean" She asked "S-s-she disappeared one night a-a-and she's not picking up her phone and we don't know what to do c-c-cause the cops won't help" Emma stutters while hiccuping and crying.

I have never seen her so distraught before and I feel helpless I couldn't save Zya and I can't help Emma. "Oh my God why don't you guys go I will call a friend of mine who is a cop. I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding" She said looking like she was trying to control her tears. I nodded and we all left.

We entered the car and Emma was still crying while Gio and Jack were trying to cheer her up. I have been trying to stay strong but I don't know if I can anymore.

I just hope Zya is okay.

Natalie's P.O.V

I felt bad for lying to my daughter's friends especially when they were so distraught but there was nothing I could do. I sighed and packed the rest of the cookies in a box and head out to my car.

I got in and drove to Nico's house. I promised Zya I would come back. "Hey Aiden" I said as I entered the living room to see Aiden watching a movie. "Hey Nat, Zya is in her room" he said without looking away from the movie. I roll my eyes and head to Zya's room.

"Get out " I heard as I was about to open the door "Shit, listen I- " I heard Nico's voice "I don't want to now leave" I heard Zya scream and I entered before Nico could respond he looked at me and sighed before leaving. "What happened" I asked her "I don't want to talk about it" She said and smiled when she spotted the cookies.
