Farrah

Ryan: Hi Farrah, can I have a word?
Farrah: About what?
Ryan: Ste told me about your little conversation the other day. I need you to keep your mouth shut.
Farrah: I don't think that you're in any position to give me any orders.
Ryan: I'm sorry, I don't mean it like that. I'm begging you. You can't tell anyone what you know about me. It would ruin everything. Listen I didn't hurt Tegan alright. She hurt herself. She couldn't deal with finding out about me and Ste. And I hate that she's now lying in that hospital because of it. But she chose to drink herself in to a coma. And about Kim. I don't think I have ever even spoken to her. And I would definitely not do anything to hurt her. I'm not like that. You've got to believe me.
Farrah: Of course I believe you. I never meant to accuse Ste or you. I'm just really concerned about Kim missing you know.
Ryan: I understand. I will do everything to help you find her. But please do me this one favour.
Farrah: Don't worry about me. I won't say a word about you and Ste.
Ryan: Thank you. I need to go, work and all that. If I hear anything about Kim, I'll drop straight by you to inform you.
Farrah: That's very kind of you. Good luck with work.

I thought hard at what I was going to do about Ryan. After our conversation I actually felt more suspicious about him then before. He seemed very intense, almost felt intimidated by him even. I know that I haven't got any evidence on him. But there's something not right about him. He could be completely innocent for all I know. I could ruin his career if I were to go to the station and accuse him of having something to do with Kim disappearing. Also the way he spoke about Tegan. I bet she did go to confront him about cheating on her with her brother. He could've hurt her to make sure that she'd keep her mouth about him being gay. Though I can't imagine being that scared about people judging who you fall in love with that you would go that far to keep it a secret. But maybe he could go that far? if he would hear about me blabbing to the police about what I think to know he'd probably hurt me then. But can I risk to not do anything? Maybe Kim is still alive out there, somewhere. He could be keeping her hostage until he's convinced that she won't tell anyone about him. Or maybe he had send her abroad, far away so she can't tell anyone. I wish I could get some kind of evidence. As long as Tegan's in a coma I've got nothing. And with Kim's phone missing I have no idea what was on that voicemail.

I was looking very intensely into my coffee cup apparently because Maxine asked me if I was alright.

Maxine: Hi I don't want to bother you or anything. Just wondering if you were alright. You seemed a bit preoccupied.
Farrah: Just got a lot on my mind that's all.
Maxine: About Kim I'm assuming.
Farrah: Yeah.
Maxine: Did you go to the police?
Farrah: Yes, I already went there the day after she went missing. But they're no help.
Maxine: You think something happened to her? Maybe she just chose to leave?
Farrah: I'm positively that it wasn't her choice to leave. All her stuff are still at the house, including her passport. Her phone seems to be out of use.
Maxine: Maybe you could ask Ryan for help? He's been with Tegan for a while now right? Than he has probably gotten to know Kim. He would want his girlfriend's best mate to be save, so maybe he can help you finding her.
Farrah: According to him they never had spoken to each other before.
Maxine: Sounds a bit strange, never meeting your girlfriend's friend. Maybe with everything that's going on with Tegan, he's not in a right state of mind. I can't imagine finding the person you love lying in a bathtub like that.
Farrah: You also think that Ryan is acting suspicious?
Maxine: Well I wouldn't call it that. He's probably just having a hard time. I've seen him taken a few nightly strolls recently. Guess to clear his mind.
Farrah: Where have you seen him?
Maxine: Just around the village. Oh and according to Glenn also around the school.
Farrah: The school?
Maxine: Yeah Glenn caught him wondering one night when he was still working on the building site. Asked him what he was doing there. Ryan told him that he was just walking around for a bit. Glenn didn't think too much of it. He doesn't want to go upset a cop now does he. So he let him be.
Farrah: When was that?
Maxine: Oh let me think. It was date night for me and Adam. So it must have been 2nd February I think. Why?
Farrah: Nothing just wondering.
Maxine: Oh I need to go. Need to pick Minnie up from nursery.
Farrah: Yeah of course. Thanks for the chat.
Maxine: You're welcome. Listen if you ever need to talk, I'm a good listener.
Farrah: I will keep that in mind, thank you.

Oh my God the school. Yasmine told me that Leah had heard something at the school when she went down there. What if she heard Kim? That could explain it. Why else would Ryan go there at night? Specifically, on the night that Kim went missing. What if he brought her there that night? Should I go there now? People are probably still working, and no way that they would believe me if I would tell them that Ryan Knight was keeping my girlfriend hostage there. I need to go there when it's dark. Now let's hope that Ryan doesn't decide to visit the school too. Because if he finds me there. I don't even want to think about what he could do to me. Maybe I can get someone to come with me?
Yasmine would be interested in a little adventure I think. Should call her to see if she's home. But how am I going to explain everything to her?
…..

Yasmine: I'm sorry what.
Farrah: I know it sounds very weird and unbelievable. But I'm sure that Kim's in there.
Yasmine: I need a moment here sis. Shouldn't we go to the police with this?
Farrah: They wouldn't believe me. I haven't got any real evidence. Just a gut feeling. But if Kim is there, I can't let her spend there for another night.
Yasmine: And you need my help because?
Farrah: Well we're not really aloud to go there. Especially not at night. So I need someone to be look out.
Yasmine: Why me though?
Farrah: I trust you first of all. Secondly you like adventure. And thirdly you could possibly save someone's life. I beg you please help me.
Yasmine: Ok fine. I'll come with you. But if mum catches us sneaking of tonight, all the blame is on you.
Farrah: Great thank you. You are the absolute best, I love you.
Yasmine: No need to get emotional with me, but yeah I am pretty great.
Farrah: Don't let it get to your head.
Yasmine: Do you have any idea where in the school we need to search for her?
Farrah: No not at all. Can you maybe ask Peri if Leah told her where exactly she went?
Yasmine: I will do that right now colleague.
Farrah: Colleague?
Yasmine: We could be like a detective duo. Oh maybe we could have a cool team name?
Farrah: What about no. Just speak to Peri already please.
Yasmine: Fine, spoil sport.
….

We waited until it was midnight and everyone at the house was asleep. I'm so grateful for Yas to come with me. I know I sounded so ridiculous explaining everything to her. But she trusts me and my gut feeling. She also found it strange how Kim suddenly went missing. She and Kim had bonded pretty well since she moved in with us. I at first didn't really know if they were going to get along in the first place. But they seemed to get along just fine. And apparently Yas and Kim seemed to talk quite often with eachother. Yasmine would talk about her health problems and how scared it could make her feel sometimes. And Kim talked about her past relationship with Esther. I don't know how much Kim told her but it didn't scare my sister away luckily. I know that Kim's past can sound quite extreme. And a lot of people judge her for it. But she's really an amazing person, I wish people would just stop judging her for past mistakes she had made. She's has come such a long way from that. It's weird how I hadn't notice them talking so much, but I'm glad they did. So now it made much more sense why Yasmine seemed so worried about Kim. I think that if I had told Sami about everything he would've told me to see a doctor.

According to Peri, Leah had gotten downstairs to the basement area. We both had torches with us so going down some stairs shouldn't be much of an issue. Though I'm still scared of getting caught. How on earth were we ever to explain ourselves if we got caught. We had decided to both go inside instead of Yasmine waiting outside for me. I felt more comfortable with her being right beside me. As we were walking inside the school, I had no idea what to expect. Maybe I was all wrong and she wasn't here. Or maybe she was here, but just not breathing anymore. Maybe he had killed. I don't think I can handle seeing her like that. And my little sister should definitely not see her like that. I'm starting to doubt everything now, but we've already come this far. We can't stop now.

Kim

It's probably my imagination going wild again. But I swear I heard something. I don't know what it is, it seems pretty far away. It could be a person. Maybe Ryan regrets what he did to me and is coming to let me go. I just want someone to save me already. I don't care who does it, as long as I can get out of here. I want to be able to see Farrah again, to hold her. Even just hearing her voice would make me happy. And I need to know how Tegan is doing. If she is even still alive or if Ryan visited her in the hospital to finish her off for good. I need to know that everyone is save.

I think I can hear footsteps above me. At least that's what it sounds like to me. I can't hear any voices though. It could be an animal that has gone inside the building. No I actually think that these are footsteps. But who's are they? And are they here for me? Do they know I'm here, or are they just repairing stuff. I haven't used my voice in ages. What if I can't yell for help?

Wait I think I can seriously hear someone talking. Sounds like more than one person. Wait I recognize those voices.
