Chapter Twenty: Finding the Clues
Amelia's P.O.V
I went to the library to see if they had seen Ginny last night. Karen came with me since it was her turn to watch over me. I went to the librarian who looked over at me.
"Did you see this girl here yesterday?" I asked showing a picture of Ginny.
"Oh yes. She was sitting alone reading all these law books," She said.
"Did you happen to see what direction she walked when she left the library?" I asked.
"I think she walked left," The librarian told me.
"Left?" Karen asked.
"Mhm."
I looked over at Karen before letting out a sigh. I pinched the bridge of my nose.
"That's the long way home," I tell her.
"It is?"
"Yes."
We quickly walked out before following the long way back to my apartment. I saw a police car by an alleyway making me rush over.
"Amelia!" Karen said.
"What happened?" I asked them.
"Ma'am I'm going to need you to step back please," The officer told me.
"Is that my daughter? The one who's missing?" I asked. I hoped that it wasn't.
"Can't you just tell her a yes or a no so that she can ease her mind just a little?" Karen asked me. The officer looked at me and Karen.
"No. It's not," He told me.
"Ginny's still out there and I have to go find her," I tell Karen.
Ginny's P.O.V
I woke up when the door slammed open. I moved closer to the corner as I looked up at the men walking over.
"Get up," He told me. I scurried up before crossing my arms.
"What are you going to do with me now?" I asked.
The man grabbed a black bag before covering me again. I felt them grab my arm as they dragged me over.
I had no idea where we were going. However, I knew we were by the docks as soon as I smelled the salty water. I felt the men drag me onto a boat before taking me to the lower levels. They took off my bag making me look up at them.
"Are you going to kill me?" I asked.
"You're a brave one aren't you?" One of the men asked me.
"We 're all going to have to face death at one point," I tell him. The man let out a chuckle.
"Keep this one alive. She can be useful," The man told me.
Amelia's P.O.V
I sat on my kitchen table as I thought about Ginny. I hoped that she was alive and okay. I heard a knock on my door making me walk over to open it.
"Hi, Matt," I say.
"Hey, Amelia," Matt said.
"Come on in," I said, moving to the side to let him inside.
"Still no sign of her?" Matt asked me.
"No," I said softly.
"You're going to get her back, Amelia," Matt told me.
I sat on the couch which he followed. I leaned against him as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder.
"I found out that she took the long way home. She must've gotten kidnapped from that route," I tell him.
"The long way home?"
"Yeah. When she's at the library, we turn right when we walk out cause that's the faster route. When you turn left, you past this alleyway close by and take so many turns. I feel so bad that we had that fight now," I said.
"I know she regrets the fight as well," Matt said. I nodded before looking at the TV.
Matt's P.O.V
When night came around, I gave Frank a message to meet me up by the library roof.
"What's the plan red?" Frank asked me as he came up onto the roof.
"Look for any gang related people. I hear that Ginny's family had no bad blood with anyone," I tell him.
"Yeah they didn't. So, any good reason why we're on top of a library," Frank said.
"I got information that Ginny went left when it's faster to have gone right," I tell him.
"That alleyway by the left side is normally for drug deals or other businesses," Frank told me.
"We better go," I tell him.
We went to the alleyway where I saw some gang members there.
"Hey!" Frank shouted as we started to close on them.
"Where's the girl?" I asked.
"Who?"
One of the boys tried to attack me but I got them first. I pushed them to the wall before Frank aimed his gun at them.
"Where's the girl!" Frank shouted.
"Who?"
"Don't play stupid! Where is she?" Frank asked.
"What girl?" One man asked.
"The one who was claimed missing. The one who was in this alley the other night," I tell him.
"I don't know!"
"You better knew something," Frank threatened.
"I know that some guys took someone last night," One man said.
"Who were the guys?" I asked them.
"Some dealers," The guy tells me.
"Give us their contacts. Now," I said. As soon as Frank and I got the information, the men ran off.
"That ought to scare them off," Frank aid.
"Let's just go," I said.
One step closer to finding Ginny now.
