Not What We Thought

Chapter 12

Once the appeal was on television the police had got a few phone calls of sightings two in Connecticut and one in Virginia so the police were looking in those areas. Some of the sightings may have just been a bot that looked very similar but a few said they saw him with a guy. One person said they saw a child that looked a lot like Kai in a fast food place with a man around 2 days after he went missing he appeared happy but apparent did ask when he was going home apparently the guy said soon and that they were having fun anyway why would he want to go back. The lady didn't know about the child being missing but when she saw the appeal on television she called. She described the guy as bout 5''10 dirty blonde hair and blue eyes.

Justin was just staring into space and Alex had her head on is shoulder "Justin I'm so scared" he just kissed her head "You're not alone on that one" "Why do people do things like that" she asked him "There are twisted people in the world Lexi" tears streamed down her face "Justin what happens if.." "Alex please" Justin said not wanting to hear what she was going to say next "I need to get out of here I feel ill" and with that she got up and walked out the bedroom leaving Justin alone.

Alex came down the stairs "Sweetie are you okay" asked Theresa "No mum my baby's missing" Alex yelled "Alex do you want anything" asked Carl "What I want is for you to get out of our face's me and Justin don't need you guys asking us if we need anything or if where ok very second ok" she said and slammed out the front door "Where did she go" asked Bailey "She needs some air" Harper said.

As she stepped out the door two reporters started asking her questions she just walked past them like they didn't exist and eventually they left her alone. She was walking towards Jay's house she hadn't talked to him in a while and to be honest she didn't want to but maybe he could help maybe he saw Kai or saw someone with him any bit of information helped at this point. All the lights were off and it seemed very quiet. That was a bit weird Jay was usually home during the day that's why he was able to help Alex so much. She lightly knocked the door and stepped back a bit no answer, she then remembers she had his number on her phone so she dialled it and weirdly enough it went straight to voicemail "Mrs Russo" she turned around and saw 8 year old Rosa Kennedy who lived a few doors down "Hi" "Are you looking for Jay cause if you are he's not here anymore" "What do you mean" she asked not understanding what she was talking about "And Kai's with him" Alex didn't know what to say but got the nerve to speak up "What do you mean" Alex asked "They went in his car a few days ago so Kai isn't lost when Jay saw me he said that you knew and you were okay with it and not to say anything " Rosa said Alex couldn't breathe what she was hearing couldn't be true at this point she didn't feel like she could stand any longer so she slowly sat on the step leading to the house to try to collect her thoughts she suddenly remembered the description of the guy dirty blonde hair blue eyes 5''10 how could she have not thought about it "Sweetie did you hear them say they were going" Alex said literally breaking down Rosa walked on the step and sat next to her "I'm sorry he didn't" She couldn't believe this Justin was right and he'd probably hate her now she was to blame she knew Jay was mad the last time he saw her but she didn't ever think he'd want to hurt her that much she felt sick to her stomach should she tell the police well she had to this was her child but it was from an 8 year old her mum would have to give permission to give a statement Mrs Kennedy was helping as well so she probably would. Where had he taken Kai were they even in the country, was he safe she needed to know.

Alex had spoken to the police Mrs Kennedy was more than happy for Rosa to be interviewed, Justin knew that Jay may have taken Kai and saying he was mad would be an understatement he wouldn't even look at her anymore and that was killing her .

"I don't blame him" she cried "Alex he'll be fine trust me he's just a little angry he'll get over it you too have to be there for each other and he knows that" Hayley said to her "But he warned me and me being my stubborn self-thought he was overreacting this is all my fault if anything happens to my baby it's my fault" "No it's not how would you have known what his intentions were and what he was like" she said "I should never have let him think there was something there I was an idiot I shouldn't have let him in the house or anything I understand why Justin is so mad I can't blame ".

"Justin you have to be there for each other no matter that's you guys son and she's pregnant man don't be a jerk" Troy said to him "Man he's right" Zeke said "You guys won't understand if she hadn't made friends with the dude he wouldn't have got the wrong idea and maybe if she handed things differently he wouldn't have gone mad and taken off with are son it's partly her fault" "Justin come on don't be like that it's not her fault ok the only person to blame is that Jay" Max said.

"Rocky could you go get Justin and Alex the foods done" Carmen said she hadn't been sleeping well either "I can try" Rocky said and headed to the staircase Alex had been locked up in her room since yesterday and Justin was in one of the guestrooms. Rocky slightly knocked on Alex's door but there was no answer "Alex" she said trying not to be too loud "Um come in" "Carmen said the foods ready when you're ready" Alex turned to face her "It's fine I'm not eating" Alex sighed. "Um okay do you want anything" "It's fine honestly" Alex replied and with that Rocky lightly shut the door.

She knocked on Justin's room door but he didn't answer so she went back downstairs "Anything" Carmen asked "No luck" Rocky sighed "Where's Max" "He's out looking with Gabi" Carmen turned around and literally broke down "Rocky I don't know what where going to do if we can't find him what's going to happen I'm so scared" "We will find him we just have to stay positive and keep doing what where doing they have leads" she said. Carmen nodded.

The police wanted to talk to Alex about Jay find out why he may have done this "How did you meet him" "I usually picked Kai up from school and sometimes we went shopping and a couple months back he saw me struggling to bring the stuff in so he offered to help so I accepted and we talked he said he was a mechanic and if I needed anything he just lived across the road" She noticed the police were writing this down "What was he like the last time you saw him" the other one asked "He told me he liked me more than a friend but I said that wasn't going to happen because I was married and I was a mother and pregnant and I loved my husband he got really mad and said something like you'd shouldn't haven't done that or something I didn't think anything of it I just thought well that was an end of a friendship" "What did Kai feel about him" "He liked him they had fun together" "What was Kai like when he noticed Jay wasn't around as much" "He just asked where he was and I told him he was busy I couldn't exactly tell him the situation" "Ok I think that's enough for now" one of them said "We may come back later for more information but thank you for your time" Alex got up and followed them out.

The police searched Jays home and found that most of his clothes were gone his safe had been cleared and there was piles of letters in his letter box. To them it was looking as if he had done a runner. They had went through Jays record and it turns out he wasn't as nice as he appeared to be. He had committed a few robberies and been in a tonne of fights. Alex felt like such an idiot falling for his lies and trusting him in her house.
