RUTHLESSLY

Pigs

I shot up with a start, my heart was beating fast. I almost hit my head off of the metal it was resting on. I looked around trying to get a grip and understand where I was. My breathing calmed as everything resettled in my head and I had remembered what had happened.

'Its alright. Were okay.' My brain soothed me.

I took a breath and nodded, closing my eyes as I did. I stood up, it was dark out now. I didn't know how long I had been sleeping for. I had fallen asleep during the early morning, how could I have slept this many hours?

'Probably because you haven't slept in three days.'

I nodded again, that must be it. My body finally had enough.

I looked out to the road, few cars past, but no police cars. I sighed and walked out from my hiding spot.. I could try to walk down main now, if I wanted to risk a free ride to my death.

I looked back at my dumpster, I could live there couldn't I?

"Don't be stupid. You'd be found eventually. Karma's, remember?'

I shook my head, my brains always right. I guess I have no choice.

"Stupid pigs.." I sighed outloud, before I carefully crouched to the ally corner, before sneakily going out into the open on main street.

Hood up, head down and looking sketchy as hell.. Great.

I'm defenitly getting caught.

JASONS POV

"What do you mean, haven't found her?!" I shouted at Mark through my cell phone. I was pissed, my sister got away from me and is now running the city streets like a street rat. And now these cops are telling me they've found nothing on a 16 year old girl, when I've reported her missing hours ago.

"Are you sure you know what your doing, dumbass? I'm sure its not your job. If it was your job, you'd have found the brat already!" I yelled again. I could feel the venom running through me.

"Jason, you need to calm down. We'll find her, but cases like these take a bit more time than a few hours" Marks voice sounded through the phone line. I mentally sighed at hearing his deep, loud and annoying voice.

"Whatever." I snapped. "I'll be the one to find her. You cops think your so good. Yet you can't find one little girl!" I gritted my teeth in frustration, I smoothed my hair back, I was angry. I wanted her home. I was gonna kill her when I found her, who did she think she was? Humiliating me like this? She was gonna pay.

"Jason, don't talk about my squa-"

"Oh, goddamn, go fuck off and do fuck all you fucking jackasses!" I screamed the last part, loudly. I hung up and slammed my phone down. If it weren't for the screen protector and phone case, it would have smashed.

I looked up to see Jody entering the kitchen. Great, he probably heard that. I picked up my cigarette package and took one out, lighting it up.

"Hey.." He said leaning in the doorway and crossing his arms. "Anything on her yet..?" He questioned, knowing the answer.

I took a puff of my cigarette and stared back somewhat calmly.

"What do you think?"I made a sarcastic hand gesture towards my phone, Jody scoffed.

"I'd think they'd have found at least something on her by now. Its been hours.." He pulled out his chair from across from me. He took my cigarette from my hand and started smoking it.

I sighed and shook my head, I looked to Jody. "I don't get how she could have just gotten away like that.."

Jody slightly choked on the cigarette before handing it back to me. I looked at him curiously. "Sorry, swallowed the smoke.." He shakily said. He coughed, clearing his throat. "She must have been plotting to run for a while, waiting for the perfect time to get away.."

I nodded, he was more than likely right. If I knew my sister, she was a sneaky, desiving little snot. She had to have planned this more than a few weeks ago, maybe even a month or so before she ran trying to gather the courage.

I looked to the floor, my hand resting on my chin. I was thinking of where she might've run off too. Then it hit me, "I wonder where she ran off too. The first place that comes to my mind, Karmas farm."

Jody went silent for a moment. I could tell he was thinking, or maybe try to act like he was.

"I don't know Jay.. Why would she go somewhere where youd look? Maybe she's just squatting in ally ways and making friends with the homeless."

I nodded my head, and thought he was right. If Jade wasn't at Karmas she would be out on the streets. Either way I'd have to go out and look, the cops weren't a big help in the hurry to find her. I grabbed my keys off the table and headed for the door, Jody at my heels.

"Where are you going?" He asked. What a stupid question, where does he think?

"Out to find her, Mark's no damn help."

Jody nodded, "I'll come and help, four eyes are better than two."

I agreed, and we left out the door, only I couldn't help but think Jody was coming for another reason. I could've sworn I had heard concern in his voice. We got into the car, I turned it on. And that's when I noticed, looking at the dashboard behind the steering wheel,

There were extra miles put into the car kilometers. He drove somewhere, and pretty far too. I decided not to say anything, after all Jody wouldn't betray me by helping her escape, would he?

He had better not have.
