MISSING

Four

A month passes and the case goes cold, no new leads, no useful CCTV footage, all leads end up at a dead end but Harry refuses to close the case. Two more bodies have shown up and even though the killer slipped up and left his DNA behind on one of the victims, its finding the killer that's the problem.

Stanley Green was a direct hit in the database, his face has been plastered all over the news but he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth. The hoax calls are coming in thick and fast resulting in resources being used up and its becoming frustrating. They won't give up though, the boys are still as vigilant, are drumming up as much media attention as they can which has been a huge help. They just need one good lead so they can nail this guy once and for all.

"Do you think he's still alive" Drew asks as they are all eating dinner at the apartment

"Without a doubt. Louis is smart, he's strong he's got mum and dad looking after him from above. I know he's alive" Scott says with conviction.

"Do you think he will be okay? Like if we find him, do you think he will be okay?" Edward says.

"With us around I know he will, whatever shit that arsehole has put Louis through we will get him through it, we will be there for him, he will recover from this" Scott says

Edward looks to Harry and Charlie for reassurance too.

"Scott's right, there's been plenty of cases where we've saved victims who go on to lead happy and healthy lives. Of course dealing with the trauma can and will be terribly hard, but I know we are going to find Louis and get him through this" Harry says

It's then they Harry's phone rings

"Styles" he says direct.

"Boss, we've had a complaint from a neighbour of a man in Greenberg street West Grove. She said she heard a commotion coming from the house tonight, as well as other strange comings and goings the last few days. She describes the car the man is driving as a blue Camry, I've pushed a warrant through.....she says she saw a boy in the upstairs window tonight, and he matches Louis description" Jax says over the phone sounding rushed

"Shit, Charlie and I are on our way, no one is to go in without us. We will meet the team at headquarters, de brief and head in" Harry says

"Right boss I'll organise everyone" Jax says

"Will will be there within half an hour" Harry says as he hangs up

"What's happened" Scott asks and Harry can see the fear in his eyes

"We have a lead, a possibly sighting of Louis" Harry says as he and Charlie grab their coats.

"What, can we come? Where are you going" Edward asks as they all get up.

"You know you can't come, sit by the phone, we will call you as soon as we can, you know that, please boys trust us" Charlie says.

"Please please find him, please bring him home safe please" Drew begs and Harry and Charlie's hearts break. These boys have been through hell the last few months.

"We will boys, we promise" Harry says

"Sit by the phone" Charlie instructs and the boy's do

Minutes roll into hours and it feels like an eternity. Just when they are going to give up and lose it. The phone rings.

....

Harry and Charlie head straight to the station to de brief the team.

"Boys listen up, let's get this organised and Louis home safe" Harry yells to quiten the room down.
