Macey POV

I was pacing up and down the small bedroom that us girls would be sharing. Liz was sitting reading one of the many books that she brought with her. I looked at my watch again.

'They should be here by now'

'They still have 2.3 minutes to get in' Liz didn't even look up or check her watch. I stopped and glared at her

'Cam wouldn't want to test Joe's patience, not now, not after everything' Liz finally looked up from her book after registering the sadness in my voice.

'They will be here' She said slowly. I held my breath hearing the front door open and shut. There was muttering outside. Followed by shouting. Liz and I looked at each other and burst out of the room. Townsend was on the phone and Joe was pacing.

'Where's Cam?' I asked

'Not here' Joe sighed.

'They don't have their phones or their comms either' Liz added. Both adults shared a look. They didn't say anything, but their look spoke thousands.

'She hasn't run' I snapped defensively knowing what that look meant.

'We don't know that Macey' Joe said

'She wouldn't' I snapped 'Something's clearly wrong, we need to go find her'

'We don't know the terrain Macey, we can't just go in blind, what if something has happened'

'I know the woods' The voice from the corner of the room shocked us all, we all turned to see Tyler staring at us. 'I know the woods better than anyone and I know Cam'

'You don't know her' I snapped. Tyler stared at me

'I know when she had her first nightmare, when she ran away and when she nearly killed herself'

'What?' Liz's eyes were wide. Tyler shook her head

'There are some things you don't want Cam to know. There are some things that she's forgotten and I'm glad that she's forgotten them. But please, I know what Cam's capable of and I know these woods, let me find her' I looked back at Joe and Townsend.

'You have one chance' Joe warned. 'Liz, get the tracker' Liz nodded and dived into one of the bags, she produced a pill and a bottle of water. She walked slowly over to Tyler as if he was a wild animal, ready to pounce. Her hand shook as she held the items out.

'You need to swallow this' Her voice shook. Tyler didn't argue, he did what he said. Liz stepped back and punched in a few things on her phone. There was a red flashing dot on her screen.

'Tracker's active' She informed Joe.

'McHenry and Sutton are with me' Joe strolled over to Tyler and unlocked his cuffs. Tyler didn't argue, he stood up, checked his risks and then waited for instructions. He was a soldier with too much respect and too much to lose.

'Let's go' Joe nodded to me. Liz and I left the house and began to walk along the way that Bex and Cam had disappeared along.

'CAM! BEX!' We called, there was no response, just our voices echoing off the trees.

'Where should we go?' I spun on Tyler. He was studying the trees, the ground, the sky, trying to place us.

'Cam knows this part of the woods' Tyler breathed out. He did a 360 scan of the area, before landing on a particular point.

'This way' He pointed north. Joe nodded

'Lead the way' Joe said. Tyler nodded and began to move slowly ahead of us, he knew that we could track him and he knew that he wouldn't get away so he didn't bother.

You could tell why Cam loved the woods, you were hidden from almost every direction, the thick leaves above masked the setting sun almost plunging us into darkness. Tyler had an ease walking through the trees, he didn't use a flashlight, he just knew the way. We had to pause regularly as Liz kept stumbling and falling. Soon the ground levelled out and we were at a small clearing. Tyler's body language changed, instead of being calm and controlled, he was looking around frantically.

'What's wrong?' Joe asked

'Cam isn't here. This is our spot so I thought she'd come here'

'Maybe she's walked further' Liz suggested. I swept my torch around the area, there was a small cliff slightly ahead, I walked over and shone the light over the top, it flashed against something metal.

'Joe, I think I found something!' I called. Twigs broke behind me.

'Let's get down there and see, be careful not to fall'

We made our way down, Liz being extra precautions and taking it one step at a time. Once down on solid ground I moved towards the object. I bent down and picked it up. The tiny pin glowed against the torch light. My breath hitched.

'Joe, this is Bex's' I looked back up at him 'It's a pin from her jacket' Joe examined it carefully. Tyler came up as well, but he wasn't looking at the pin.

'There's blood' He pointed out. We glanced down, the red liquid was still shiny and wet but beginning to dry around the outside. It wouldn't of been too long ago.

'Which way would she have gone from here?' Joe asked Tyler. Tyler thought for a moment, looked around once more and then back to Joe.

'Knowing Cam, she would have followed the treeline trying to find her way back up' He looked at the sky, the purple sky was now turning inky blue. Tyler's breathing hitched slightly.

'We need to find her soon'

'Why?' Joe asked. Tyler looked at him dead in the eye.

'Like I said earlier, there are some things you don't want her to know. And judging by where we are now, Cam will find something, and then we might lose her again…'
