Hi again. Sorry I've been away on holidays but it's all good I'm back now :D thanks for staying with me guys, love ya all. Okey dokey let's get the chapter rolling shall we?
VIN
"What?"
"She's a missing person and has been for five years. I realise that she has seen her Dad during breaks, but he probably has no idea where she is afterwards, about Pinkerton that is. Neither do the police for that matter. That's not all though. I looked into her father and it seems that he's actually a suspected criminal. Did you know I was once a police officer, so I can't ignore this issue. This man disappeared after his daughter ran away. As I said before Zero has seen her father and will know where he is. I need to –"
"You need to leave." Mr. Soper says standing up, "You have no right to pry into other people's lives. I'll talk to Zero as soon as she turns up but because of all of this she's ran off again. I don't want you to come back here. Thank you Director."
Mr. Soper shoves the Director out the door. I lean back against the wall as the screen goes dark. Zero's Dad is a criminal and she knows where he is. She ran away and changed her identity. I don't even know if Zero is her real name anymore. Something flickers outside and I dash to the window. A figure leaps from the wall of Mr. Soper's office and into the forest. Zero…She knows. I point this out to the others, but we make no move to try and go after her. I slide down the brick wall and crouch on the floor. Zero was cute when she was younger. She's cute now…Did I just think that? I sigh; we have to talk to her.
"What if we left a note?" I say looking up.
"In her room?" Newton says
"Yeah, we ask her to take it and that means that she'll meet us. If it isn't gone by tomorrow then we know she doesn't want to see us and it's…over."
"What if she doesn't go into her room?" Newton asks
"Then at the bottom of the paper we ask her to write yes, to meet us or no to not. If nothing is there then she hasn't come." Trixie says and pulls out a pen and paper. "Vin you can write it."
I don't protest. My hand shakes as I write. I have to stop myself from adding in my person thoughts. It is meant to be from all of us. When I finish we run down to her room. I place the note on her bed and as we leave her room Mr. Soper comes around the corner.
"Hello kids. Don't worry I'm sure she'll turn up soon. I just wish we could forget everything that has happened." He sighs and continues on his way.
I round on Newton, "Can we erase the Director's memory?"
"I think so; I'll get right on it."
I smile, but only because he is. I want to cry and that's exactly what I go and do. I enter my room and the tears cascade down my cheeks. I let them fall onto the pillow that muffles my cries. No it's more of a wail. I can't bare it. I need her back. I haven't told her anything yet. Zero's my best friend. She's hard to handle, she has a temper and can be quite scary, but even with all of those traits she loyal. Zero's is extremely brave, strong and will do the right thing. She will never let anyone down not to mention she's beautiful. To me yes maybe not to others. Yep I'm in love and then I go and drown it. What if Zero never comes back? I don't think I'll be able to go on. I fall asleep with that question swarming in my head.
Hmmm. That was short. Really short :( alright I think I might post another Poisoning chapter. Oh and just giving you all a heads up but this is the second last chapter for Invalid! :O Don't fret my wonderful readers a new story will replace this! So stay tuned for the final installment of Invalid!
