Disclaimer: I don't own ANYTHING! Stop rubbing it in my face that all I own is my evil dude and his stupid goons (do you think that I am proud of that?...no I a not) But yet again, I do not own "Behind These Hazel Eyes" by Kelly Clarkson...so don't sue me please.
Oh My God…I am so0o sorry to keep you guys waiting for so long. I had yet again had a case of writers block and when I got over it…it was during mid-term week so of course I couldn't write. But then after the test I couldn't go on my laptop because…well, don't wanna talk about that but anyways…I got it back and I wrote the chapter and then went over it again and again and then I sent it to my beta and then…well, here I am! Thank you for being so patient with me and I promise that I will get the next chapter up as soon as possible.
Well…here is the next addition of Missing Since Monday
-------------------------------------------------
Chapter 10- Wednesday, June 28th
Frank was running down the hallway so fast that he could barely see the walls passing by him.
"GEORGE!" He screamed as he continued to run with all his might. Then he heard some so faint it sounded like the wind…or muffled by something
"Frank! Help me!"
"GEORGE!"
But when he shouted this time, he heard nothing. Frank knew he was running out of time to save George. 'No! Not again, I wasn't there to save Nancy from these people but I am sure as hell not going to let them take George. But just running and calling her name isn't working.' But then something hit Frank suddenly.
"Why didn't I think of this before!" Still running, he dug his hand into his pocket and grabbed out his cell phone. He then dialed George's number and put it on speaker.
RING-RING
He held his breath hoping with his whole being that is would work.
I can't breathe. No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on
"YES!" Frank gained speed as he ran towards the sound of the music.
Here I am once again
I'm torn into pieces
He knew he had to be quick because he knew that the people taking her would go by any means to shut it up, and fast. As he got closer to the corner, he heard hurried footsteps. Smiling to himself, he made the turn to face the corridor. It was empty except for the small device on the floor
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Frank mentally kicked himself as he hurried towards the phone and picked it up.
"Shit!" Frank then started to run again only to be pulled back by the collar of his shirt. Then a group of thugs came running out from the neighboring rooms to restrain Frank. Frank was trying with all his strength to get out off the grip of the thugs but then stop after receiving a punch in the gut. He was looking at the floor trying to think of a plan to get out of the situation when he heard a voice.
"Well, well, well…what do we have here?" Frank looked up to see a short, over-weight man looking at him with a snug look on his face. "Trying to find something you lost? Like a certain girl?" As if on cue, a taller thinner man came into the corridor carrying an unconscious George bridal style. Frank's eyes then filled up with rage as he tried to get out of the thugs' mighty grip on him.
"LET HER GO NOW, OR ELSE!"
All the two men did was laugh, "Oh what are you going to do, boy? Stare at us to death?" The thinner one said chuckling. "Yeah…" said the shorter one "we better do something to prevent that." With that, he nodded at the thugs and the last thing that Frank felt was something hard on the back of his head.
The corridor when quiet as Frank fell on the floor unconscious. Harry then turned to Jake "Should we take him too?" Jake then looked at Frank, considering the question before looking back at Harry. "Call the boss; ask him before we do anything that could possibly ruin the plan."
Harry nodded as he walked into a room and called Mark.
RING-RING
"Hello?"
"Hi boss, it's me Harry!"
"Oh, it's you. Well, what do you want?"
"We got one of the girls!"
"Wow, good news from you two for once. Well, is there anything else?"
"…"
"Ugh, as always. What is it?"
"She wasn't alone, she was with this man. We managed to knock him out also. Should we take him too?"
There was silence as if Mark was thinking on taking on another prisoner. "No. Leave him there. I want him to wake up in there and realized that he failed to protect her from us. He will blame himself, wishing that it was him taken instead of her or at least you guys killed him. I want to mess with his mind before we bring him here. And try to figure out who is the man that girl was with."
"You got it, sir. We will be returning to the hide-out in less than an hour.
"Good, I'll be looking forward to it."
"Good-
CLICK
bye."
Harry just sighed before closing his phone. "People never say goodbye anymore." He then walked out the door and called over Jake who had placed George on the floor to tie her up. Jake got up and walked over to Harry
"What did the boss say?"
"He said that we should leave him here but try to find out actually who he is." Harry said while walking towards Frank turning him over on his back. He stuck his hand in his pocket and felt something. He grabbed it and looked at it. It was his wallet. He opened it up to reveal his driver's license, pictures of family and friends, and credit cards.
"Frank Hard-ee" Harry said slowly and then Jake grabbed it out of Harry's hands
"What are you five? Humph, can't even read." Jake then looked at the wallet himself puzzled
"What is it, Jake?"
"This kid looks familiar to me. But I've seen a lot of people this week so maybe it's no one." Jake then threw his wallet on the floor and went to pick up George. "Come on Harry, let's get out of here before Mr. Hardy wakes up"
Harry nodded at Jake and waved onto the other thugs that they were leaving. They all left the corridor leaving Frank on the cold, hard floor.
-------------------------------------------------
6:00 AM
"Ugh, Joe, are you done yet?" Bess said impatiently as she filed her manicured nails. She was sitting on the bed while Joe was working in front of her on the desk.
"Actually, it is done right now." Joe said as he click a button his laptop. He then spun around on the chair to face Bess completely. "Ready to watch it?"
"Joe, I've been ready for the last 2 hours." Bess then quickly got off the bed and went towards the laptop. Joe spun again to face the laptop. Bess and Joe exchanged glances before he press the "Start" button. The picture was a lot clearer and looked like an actual movie. As the people passed by the camera and went into Ned's room, Joe would press the "Pause" button and asked the same question over and over again.
"Do you recognize this person?"
And Bess would always answer the same, sadly shaking her head.
"Alright Bess, there is only a couple of more seconds left so if you see anything just let me know." Joe said while clicking a button on his laptop. Bess then looked really hard at the screen, trying desperately to recognize someone. And then, she saw him.
"Oh my God! I see someone!" Bess screamed as she started to jump up and down in place.
"Where? Who?" Joe said as he quickly paused the movie and tried to find the person she saw. Bess then calmed herself and pointed towards a pale and thin man on the screen.
"This man, I thought I recognized him before in the movie but he moved too fast. But now I know I've seen him before. The point is that I don't know where and I have no idea what his name is."
"Well, that is a good start. We can go to the station and give this over to our good friend B.D and he will try to match up a name with the face." Joe said as he copied the movie onto a blank C.D while Bess was happily going around the room
"Yes! We are finally moving along! Should I call George and Frank to tell them to meet us as the police station?" Bess said as she grabbed her cell phone from off the bed.
"Yea, we are most likely going to be there all day so they might as well come there whenever we are done." Joe said as his computer made a sound meaning the movie finished copying. Joe took the C.D out of the laptop and then shut it down. "I'm going to tell Carson what's up with the investigation. Just come down when you're ready." Joe then walked out the door and walked down the hallway. Bess then dialed George's number and waited for her to pick it up but it went right to her voice mail.
"Hi, I can't get to the phone right now…hopefully you know what to do at the beep"
BEEP
"Hay George, it's me Bess. I'm just calling to say that me and Joe are going to the station to work up on a lead. We are probably going to be there the whole day so just come there, ok? See you soon! Bye!" Bess then hung up and skipped down the hallway 'Something is actually going right for once'.
-------------------------------------------------
1:37 PM
Frank was just regaining consciousness when he heard a beeping noise. He slowly got up and moaned in pain as he what had happened early that day. The car, the scream, the men, George been taken, and him getting knocked out. 'This stuff is giving me a headache', Frank said to himself while he leaned against the wall and rubbed his temples in an attempt to get rid of the pain. He then the 'beep' noise again, but this time it was over and over again. 'Ugh, and that beeping noise isn't helping. Wait…what the hell IS that noise?" Frank then tried to listen to see where the beeping was coming from. After 10 minutes of searching the area around him, he still couldn't find where it was coming from and the 'beeping' was still going on.
"UGH! Everywhere I go the sound sounds the same! Where is it friggen coming from!" Frank yelled as he put his hands angrily in his pockets when he felt is cell phone. He grabbed it and when he did he heard the beeping sound being muffled. Frank just sighed to himself
"Wow, now that's so stupid it is not even funny." Frank then grabbed out his cell phone and saw that he has 10 missed calls and 10 voice messages. All of them from either Bess or Joe. He listened to them all and they all said the same thing, 'Where are you? When are you getting here? Are you ok?' Frank just thought to himself 'Where am I- I have no idea. When am I getting there- no clue. Am I ok- no where near alright. I should call them back so they don't worry.' Frank then went to call Joe cell phone when his cell phone shut down on him.
"UGH! What the hell is which my luck lately!" Frank then threw his cell phone and kicked the wall which of course wasn't a smart idea because he just ended up hurting his foot. After 10 minutes of getting the feeling back to his foot, he walked towards the exit and opened the door revealing a beautiful day. Not even caring or stopping to admire the view, Frank started to walk towards the direction in which him and George traveled just 12 hours ago.
-------------------------------------------------
6:39 PM
Joe and Bess were still down at the police station. They had handed over the CD to B.D and he analyzed the person who Bess recognized. B.D just went to get the results of the search because they did a global search. Joe wanted to just do the local area but because of all the places Nancy, Bess, and George have gone to solve mysteries it was possible that the person would not be from the States.
Joe and Bess were waiting in B.D's office for him to get back with the results. Joe was leaning back on one of the chairs in B.D's office and closed his eyes while thinking about what has happened in the passed 24 hours or so. 'I never knew that so much can change in one day. At the beginning of today, it was the four of us together and we had just found Ned. Now, Ned is gone yet again and we are separated but I can feel we are one step closer in finding Nancy. But why do I feel that this step forward also made us take a big step back?' Joe then opened his eyes to check on Bess, who was looking out of the window in the office, watching the sunset as if trying to re-gain her strength and perkiness in the sun's setting glow.
"Penny for your thoughts, Bess?" Joe asked while getting up and walking next to her. But Bess didn't respond, as if she didn't hear him or just didn't want to. She just took a long breath in and then turned to Joe
"It's gonna cost you WAY more than a penny for all of my thoughts." Bess said with a chuckle and turned back towards the sunset. Joe just smirked
"No need to worry, Bess. I think that I have enough to manage. So, come on…dish." Bess, stilling looking out the window, took a deep breath before talking.
"It's just…I am just tired of worrying all the time. I'm worried that we might not get to Nancy in time or that we won't be able to find Ned or that there is a bad reason why neither Frank nor George has called us back. But the funny thing is that regardless of all this, the future doesn't scare me at all. It's just that nothing was like it was Monday and I think that it just hit me that anything can happen at any time. Good or bad; right or wrong. Things change."
No one said anything for awhile. Just taking in the last light of the sun as it slowly crept behind the cloud. They then were interrupted but a loud noise outside the office. They both ran to the door and jerked it open, revealing an unconscious Frank laying on the floor.
"FRANK!" They both shouted
-------------------------------------------------
7:03 PM
Nancy was sitting nervously on her bed. She had been waiting all day for this moment and now staring to get second thoughts. If I wait any longer than Mark could come in and I would be caught in action. But if I do it now then Mark might come in now and catch me anyway. But it's now or never and I don't wanna stay here another minute that's for shit sure. Nancy then quickly stood up on her bed and silently opened the vent and crawled in. She closed the door to the vent and started to crawl down the dark pathway.
She had been crawling for some time when she started to hear a voice. It was a girl's voice. She then kept on crawling and the sound kept getting louder and louder. She then saw the little vent opening where you can see what's going on in the other room. But when she looked down her face went pale white.
"Oh my God! George!" Nancy said silently as she covered her hand with her mouth so she wouldn't be heard. She looked around the cell and saw it was just her. She was just about to call her name when the cell door slammed opened and a bunch of thugs came in and lifted George off of her bed made her stand up. George looked up to look just in time to see Mark come in to the room and close the door.
"Well, well. Look what the cat dragged in. If it isn't little George." Mark said as he slowly walked towards her.
"Well, well. If it isn't Crazy-Marky. So, still trying to out-do your brother by trying to get back at Nancy?" George said in her normal tone of voice. Mark didn't answer her; all he did was punch her in her stomach.
"You're going to pay for everything thing you did, George. And all those stupid little one-liners you say. Take care of her boys, but don't kill her. We need to have an extra guest here for that. See you on the flip side Georgie." Mark said as he stepped back and let all the thugs head towards George. But Mark didn't leave, he just stood there watching it all happen, smirking to himself.
Nancy was silently crying holding her hand to cover her mouth. When she heard George shriek in pain she broke down but didn't make too much noise. She then turned away from the opening, not able to watch the horrible thing unfold in front of her.
Oh God! I can't believe this is happening. Now I can't leave, I can't leave George here. But if I don't get out of here than she might have the same fate, but she might be killed if I escape. Nancy then slowly started to crawl back towards her cell thinking of a new plan
-------------------------------------------------
