Matt smiled pulling up to his house seeing Amy's car sitting in the driveway.
"Damn, you've got it bad," Cena laughed teasing his friend. Matt ignored him. John had joined him on the ride to the airport and figured he'd bug them as he waited for Liz to get out of work. Matt grabbed his bags and the two of them walked into the house. Matt went to get his key and was surprised when he didn't need it. He knew Amy normally kept the door locked out of habit.
"Amy?" he called out, as he walked inside followed by John. The second the cats heard him they started crying and meowing to get his attention and to get out him to release them. Matt was confused but quickly unlatched the cage and both cats ran straight passed them and to the door meowing. Matt was looking at the cats confused as John walked over to the crate picking up the note.
"Matt, you might want to sit down."
"What's it say? Where'd she go?" he started shaking, nervously and trying to figure out what he did wrong that she left him and locked up the cats. He did listen to John though sort of and leaned against the couch.
"This sounds like one of my movie's scripts, but I think someone took her."
"What...why would somebody take her?"
"Money..." John said too calm.
"But I don't make that much."
"They don't know that. However, being that I'm pretty sure this chicken scratch is Amy's handwriting, I think she might be trying to tell you something addressing it to Evan."
At this Matt started pacing trying to get himself to think. He had John read the note and looked around for something. He spotted the little blood on the floor and John had to help him breathe to calm down. Once he did he looked at the keys, staring at them.
"I think one's missing," he finally said, "Normally that thing looks bigger...car key, key chains, broken house key from New Jersey...where's the key to her apartment?"
"Will all that stuff on it how do you know?" Matt laughed semi calming.
"We've had issues trying to get into her house after hanging out, and it takes awhile to find the right one. That's why she locked up the cats. I think it was another sign to say she wasn't that far away and to stall if that makes sense. Ok let's go." John put his hand on the younger man's shoulder.
"We can't just go over there. Amy wouldn't have went if they weren't armed or threatening. Neither one of us can go just to see if she's in the house."
"We'll these guys think my name is Evan...who wouldn't they expect if they haven't been watching long...and if they have who goes over there anyway..."
"Sheamus," they both said.
