Okay, I only just posted the previous part but I thought seeing as you guys have been waiting months I would crack on and keep writing (the past 4 hours has been spent writing new chapter of this) and I guessed you guys deserved some sort of commitment on my part so I'm posting another part now. The next part WILL be up straight after this part (I have already written the next 3 parts) I promise

"Sapphire?" Michelle called again, where had they gone? It's not like she was gone for a long time! Not exactly long enough for them to forget she was coming back! Where in the hell had they gone in such a short space of time? "Come on! Simon? Amy?" she called out again, hoping she wasn't gonna have to go traipsing round looking for her niece; it wouldn't be the first time. Against all of her wishes Michelle begun walking down the back ally and around into the street to have a look for the tiny tearaway.

This was just like Simon; to go off somewhere without telling anyone. He often got into trouble with his dad for doing such a thing. What Michelle couldn't understand though, was that this wasn't at all in Amy's nature! Contrary to peoples beliefs that she would be just like her mother as she grew up; the teeny bopper had turned out to have her fathers temperament and wouldn't hurt a fly, not even if she was paid to!

She looked in all of the shops as she made her way down Coronation street, checking they weren't in anyone gardens or playing in the little allyways between buildings...where the hell were they? "Hey Norris, you haven't seen our Saph' have ya?" she asked across the road looking in the direction of the Kabin. The resident busy body looked completely shocked that she would be asking him, although he did love to be involved in any sort of drama that was going on.

"Well, now you mention it I did see young Simon rushing down that way" he pointed in direction of the Rovers. Michelle went to run the way he had said, but was stopped before she could take a third step "Oh and Amy went that way..." he signalled in the opposite direction, Michelles face dropped.

"No Saph?" she asked, looking a little worried, he shook his head and went back to sweeping the curb. "Well where the bloody hell is she then?" she sniped and zoomed off towards the pub where she assumed Simon would be looking for Peter. "Si?" she checked at reaching the opened doors of the Rovers, perhaps everything was fine, maybe she was worrying about nothing and the little mite had gone and found her mummy; she could only hope!

"Chelle? What's up?" Sean asked at seeing his troubled looking boss enter the pub, she didn't answer though, just carried on searching the seats and even behind the bar for her little niece.

"You haven't seen Sapphire have you?" she questioned, not aiming it at anyone in particular just anyone who could hear her.

Before she could leave after seeing several people shake their heads, shrug their shoulders or just plain say 'no' Peter burst through the toilet doors with Simon quickly in tow. "Oh my god, Peter am I glad to see you! Simon, where's Saph?" she rambled, now in the teenagers direction.

"She ran off auntie Chelle, we been looking for her but I can't find her anywhere! She were on the swings, then she said she wanted to play hide and seek..."

He looked so guilty! He loved that little girl and was just as worried about where she was as his auntie was.

"Ay, Michelle let's not panic. Shall we go over to Underworld? See if she's over with Carla yeah?" she nodded in response and followed him out of the front doors. How could this happen? She'd had to go looking a few times before for Sapphire, if she played hide and seek a little too well or if she'd had a mini 'Carla tantrum' but never like this, and never when there was a very good reason for her to be kept in their sight!
