How are you guys enjoying the story so far? Well, the next few chapters are POV changes... You'll see.
So if you guys have read the first two stories I have finally updated Victoria's Final Secret (after like, a year) and if you're insterested in the fantastic 4 I also updated my Ex-Factor story... So check that out! And get a cookie! Maybe!? Uh... Never mind...
Also if you're wondering who James and Jordan are, im pretty sure they were in the first story... The one before Dead and Gone... I think The Last of Us was the name (i have horrible memory)
it took me 7 minutes to write an Authors note! (8:31 am- 8:38am)
Enjoy!

Chapter 7: Gone Missing
~Jess' POV~
"There isn't enough of us, we can't risk it... Not yet anyway." Our friend James said,
I leaned forward, "We aren't going to charge in on Hydra... Not yet." I finalized on Jordan's notion to attack Hydra soon, "Our defenses are weak and we can't risk it, not with all of the kids." I said, Seamus nodded, "We'll discuss the matter later." I dismissed and we all left.
Seamus wrapped his arm around me as we walked out, "You think Arika is okay?"
"Seamus, she's 12 years old, she is fine on her own for a few hours."
"Yeah I know, but I can't help but worry."
"Well if we go home and there is no house there then we will know that she can't be on her own." I got into the car.
We got home at 11:30 pm, all of the lights were off, which was surprising, Arika was usually up at this time on the weekend. We walked in, the house was eerily quiet, "Arika we're home..." I said, there was no answer. I headed up the stairs to her room, "Arika?" I opened the door and flipped the light on. The bed was empty and she wasn't there, "Arika?" I checked our room to see if she was there, "Seamus, Arika is gone!" I ran down the stairs,
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that she's not around!" I cried,
"Calm down, she probably just went to Sarah's or Tony's, or Rosa's."
He called Pepper, I called Pika, "Hello?" Sarah answered,
"Where's your mom?" I asked,
"She's not home yet. She left her phone home... Again."
"Is Arika there?"
"No."
"Have you seen her or heard from her at all today?"
"No, I haven't."
I sighed, "Call me if you hear anything."
"Okay."
"Bye." I hung up,
"She wasn't at Tony's house." Seamus said.
I held my breath as I dialed Rosa's number, praying that Arika would be there, "Hello?" Rosa asked, she sounded exhausted,
"Is Arika there? We can't find her anywhere."
"No she's not here."
"Have you heard from her?"
"No Jessie I haven't." I started mentally freaking out, "She's probably out causing trouble, you know how she is."
Great, as if that made me feel any more better about the situation. I sighed, "Well, thanks anyway." I said,
"Don't worry you'll find her."
"Bye." I said,
"Bye." She hung up,
"SEAMUS SHE'S MISSING!" I literally shouted in his face.
He wrapped me in a hug, "It's okay, we'll find her." He kissed the top of my head.
I buried my face in his chest, "What if she's dead?" I cried,
"She'll be fine, she's a fighter, but we aren't any closer to finding her by just standing here." He lifted my head up so we were looking each other in the eyes.
I sniffled, "Y-You're right..."
He smiled and kissed me on the nose, "C'mon, let's go find our daughter."
