" Zoey there are cookies in the cookie jar on the counter in the kitchen, go help yourself" Elaine said.
Zoey walked off into the kitchen and they waited until she was out of ear shot.
"What's going on? " Elaine asked immediately.
"That was Randy on the phone" Auden replied.
"Well? ".
"He said to take care of Zoey for awhile, he has to leave to get something's into perspective".
"What! That boy isn't thinking, that child needs him".
"I know, he didn't talk long, he hung up quick".
"I don't know how we'll explain this to Zoey, she's such a sweet child" Elaine said sitting down on the couch.
Little did they know Zoey had heard everything just now. Well she wasn't going to sit around and let this happen. She wouldn't let him abandon her, she'd find him. Zoey took a few more cookies and went to the backdoor and opened it and slipped through. She prayed her daddy didn't go too far.
Randy stuck his phone in his pocket and downed the rest of his beer. He dropped a tip on the table then and left the bar. His mind couldn't help but wander back to the hair clip they had found at the scene. Why didn't he think to see it? Randy made up his mind to go to the Police station. He hailed a taxi and went straight there.
"What can I do for you Mr. Orton? " The Officer asked sitting behind his desk.
"Remember the hair clip you said you found at the scene? ".
"Yes".
"Can I see it please, maybe I can identify who it belongs to".
"Oh okay, Thompson, go get the hairclip we brought in yesterday".
The Policeman went to the back room where they kept all evidence and returned with a plastic bag containing the hair clip.
"There you are Mr. Orton".
Randy examined the hair clip, it was gold with silver shaped diamonds. He no doubt had seen this item before and on who he saw it on. His jaw tightened and his blood pressure began to rise.
"I know who it belongs to" Randy spoke up.
"Well damn ,tell us".
"A cold hearted woman named Vanessa".
"You know where she lives? ".
"You damn right, I'll take you right there" Randy said through a low tone.
"All right let's go" The Officer said grabbing his keys.
"We're just going to have to come out with it, she deserves to know" Auden said.
"Your right, Zoey! Could you come here for a minute" Elaine called.
They waited but she didn't come.
"Zoey? ".
No answer.
Both woman got up and went back to the kitchen and found it empty. They both looked at the back door that had been left ajar. Their eyes widened.
"You don't think? " Elaine asked.
"Yup, she's gone" Auden answered.
Randy lead the Police over to 2012 Parton Dr. Vanessa's respective address. They got out of the car and walked up to her front door. Randy rang the doorbell, to say he was angry as hell was an understatement.
"Yes" Vanessa said opening the door and wished she hadn't.
Randy couldn't hold it in once he saw her face. He grabbed her by the throat and squeezed.
"You fucking bitch! " He screamed in her face.
Wow.
