Chapter 2: New Case

Beth sat in her office freshly showered after her and Mick's bout of lovemaking, now she was waiting on her 3 o'clock appointment to arrive. A few minutes before three a knock came from the door, Beth took in the scent before opening the door. "You must be Mr. Sharp, please come on in."

Mr. Sharp was an attractive man in his late twenties, his black hair cut low and his eyes were a deep green but they held a deep sadness. "I'm sorry to be so vague on the phone I just…I know how it must look."

"Please have a seat Mr. Sharp and tell me about it."

"Call me Peter please," Beth nodded. "My wife, Sabrina is missing. Technically she's not my wife, we weren't married by legal standards but to us we were, it's a long story."

Beth smiled, "I understand. Please continue how long has your wife been missing?"

"Since last night," he moved around in his chair. "The police said I have to wait to file a missing persons report that she might have just went out but she wouldn't have done that. Last night was our sorta anniversary she said she had to run out to get something she forgot for a surprise."

"What time was this?"

"She called me just before seven, I got home from the office at seven thirty and she wasn't home. I waited until eight and when I hadn't heard from her I got worried. I tried calling her cell but it just goes to voicemail and she never came home and I can't reach her anywhere."

"Do you know where she was going?"

Peter shook his head, "No it was part of some surprise she had been planning." He looked Beth in the eye, "Please tell me you can find her."

Beth stood up and moved to stand beside him, "I'll do everything in my power. Now I'm going to need a photograph, her cell number and provider information, vehicle information, and anything you can tell me about her."

"Of course I have all that with me, I was so glad you could see me. Here is everything I can think of if you need anything else please call and I will try and find out."

Beth took the file from him opening it to look at the photo it was of the two of them both smiling and clearly in love. "We will get right on this."

"Your partner, he's your husband?" Peter gestured towards the other side of the office.

"Yes he is," Beth nodded.

"Please find her; I want to really marry her." He laughed, "We tried twice but something always came up and our wedding got canceled so we just decided to say our vows to each other. To us we are married."

Beth felt a tug on her heartstrings she wanted to find this girl alive and get her married to this man. Beth showed Mr. Sharp out of the office and text Mick back at her desk that she had a new case that needed immediate attention.

Allie sat in the break room drinking her meal sitting alone with files in front of her. She tried to stay busy pulling doubles as often as she could working both her regular shift and special rounds in the ER to keep her mind full and off of one thing. It didn't matter really no matter how busy she was she would see someone with his hair cut, or his body build and she would instantly think about him.

"Allie please just talk to me," Seth came into the hospital and found her.

"Please leave Seth, I don't want to have to call security."

Seth didn't leave he continued with everyone around watching, "Just talk to me. Tell me what changed."

Allie picked up the phone and asked security to come to their location. Seth just looked at her not ready to give up sure if he just kept talking she would come to her senses. "Allie please I love you. You know I love all of you."

Security arrived, "Sir we need you to come with us."

"Allie please—"

"Seth just leave me alone please. Move on."

"I can't, you have my heart."

Allie turned to leave as security guided him out of the building. Tears running down her cheeks as she made her way to an empty room shutting herself away from the prying eyes. "I should just leave. I should just relocate and be done with this."

Rubbing her eyes Allie sat back in her chair coming back to the present. The last few months had been hell to her. Six months, how long she had been without him or any reason to smile. He had tried for months to try and get her to talk to him but she turned him away and wouldn't see him knowing it was too hard that a clean break was best, that she couldn't let him change her mind. She hadn't heard from him in the last two months he must finally have forgotten her and moved on, a thought that both pained and pleased her. She wanted him to move on and find someone normal, someone who could give him everything he deserved, someone that wasn't her, but still it hurt to think of him with another. Now she just had to find a way to go on as well.
