Why not ?

≈Miami, FL...

(7:34 p.m) 

Hours since they started searching her and they still had nothing. They were all worried and hoping to find her as soon as possible. But where did he take her ? None of them really knew Cameron to know where to start. Nobody except Cora, but they hadn't been in contact since ten whole years. And even when they were together, she didn't really know what he was doing when he was out without her. 

She was furious and determined to find her baby. She kept praying asking God to protect her little angel. She was hoping that he didn't hurt Acacia yet. But knowing him...

"Are you okay ? " Kalvin asked with his eyes focused on the road. They had separate in groups to have more chance. Nelson called two of his friends, who were policemen and they went to search info towards the street gangs, prostitutes and drug dealers. Sancy called her boyfriend, Yohann and they went with Sasha searched Acacia in town. Kaldrick, Kalia, Roger and Francesca went in town also, since it was big just for one group. Halley, Latoya, Terry and a couple of the teammates who generously proposed their help went in the hood out of the city towards the highway. And finally, Kalvin, Cora and Almar were searching in the neighbourhood. They thought that maybe Cameron wasn't as far as they believed and was closer. Every hour, they called each other to give some news. In addition to their big group, the cops were also trying to find her.

She slowly nodded her head, "I have to be strong." She answered turning her face to check on Almar in the backseat. The young boy fell asleep and looked so peaceful, it was making her feel a bit better.

Kal sighed shaking his head, "I don't understand though. We're searching everywhere, we're like more than thirty people looking around the city and we still have nothing. Man, I though he was more stupid than that." He was trying to keep calm, but it wasn't that easy. Inside him, the rage was boiling like lava in a volcano.   

"I know...But we have to keep faith...It's going to be alright, right ? " She could feel the tears coming again. She was tired to cry, but she couldn't help it and let the water fall. 

The car stopped at a red light and then Kalvin saw her crying silently. He didn't like to see her like that, it was breaking his heart. He instantly started wiping the single teardrops away with his thumb, but there were always others that followed just behind. 

"Cora, I'm sure she's fine." He said to reassure her. 

She sniffed and turned her head towards him, "And if she's not ? He's crazy and I'm sure that the fact that she is his daughter won't change a thing. When he wants to hurt someone, he will do it. He doesn't care about anybody's feeling, except his. Sometimes..." More tears ran on her cheeks, "He can act so heartless. He did it with me. He's a horrible person." To hear her say those things, were scaring him more than anything else. 

Suddenly they heard a growl. It was coming from a stomach, "Did you eat today ? " 

She shook her head, "Sorry. I hadn't the occasion since the breakfast this morning. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to starve the baby."
