Chapter 27
Everyone was still out searching for Mike. It was now becoming dark and spitting with rain.
"Where do you think he would have gone?, " Elliot asked Jessica.
"I'm not sure, I don't think he would have gone far, but I also thought he would of been home before it got dark and it's going to be pitch black in about ten minutes so I really don't know," Jessica replied.
"Maybe we should cal somebody else ask them where they've already looked because there's no point in looking in places where others have already looked," Elliot suggested.
"Yeah that's probably a good idea," Jessica replied. She took her phone out of her pocket and looked down her contact list until she reached Sarah.
"Hello Jess have you found him?" Sarah asked answering her phone.
"No sorry," Jessica replied.
"Where are you now?" Sarah asked.
"By the lake not too far away from the house, what about you?" Jessica said.
"We're out in the woods you know on the path dad took us to go on that family walk," Sarah answered.
"You don't think he would have gone out there on his own do you?" Jessica asked.
"Well I didn't think he would have but we found some footprints in the mud and there were about the same size of feet as Mike," Sarah said.
"Well any idea where we could look?" Jessica asked.
"Well Jakes saying he might have gone to the skate parj the two of them went to the other day but you don't know where that is," Sarah said.
Jessica held her phone away from her ear.
"She says to check out some skate park him and ajke went to but I don't know where it is," Jessica said to Elliot.
"I do," Elliot replied.
"I thought you would but I don't want them to know I'm with you because Sarah will be so mad," Jessica replied.
"Yeah she might be mad but if Mike's there now you may as well tell her," Elliot replied.
"Hey Sarah, we'll go check it out," Jessica said.
"But you and Kim won't know where you're going," Sarah said.
"I'm not with Kim she went back home to stay with mom," Jessica replied.
"Well who are you with then?" Sarah asked.
"Elliot but don't get mad I met him and he was out on his own and we thought it would be best if we stuck together," Jessica replied.
"I'm not mad. You're looking for Mike so it doesn't matter," Sarah said, even though she was a little bit mad that Elliot was with Jessica.
"Well ok we'll go check out the skate park bye," Jessica said before hanging up.
"Jake she's with Elliot," Sarah said.
"Why?" He asked.
"Something to do with them both on their own and thought it be best to stick together," Sarah said.
"You ok with that?" Jake asked. He knew that Sarah wouldn't be, he could tell by the look on her face.
"Yeah I'm cool with it, I mean he's helping look for Mike," Sarah said, trying to convince herself she was cool with it.
"Well let's just hope that he turns up soon," Jake said.
"While we're on the subject of Elliot, can I just say I'm sorry Jake I should have forgiven you when you first apologized," Sarah said.
"Why are you apologizing?" Jake asked.
"Because you were there for me and tried to help me and I just blamed it all on you, I think I was just looking for someone to blame and you were there so I blamed you, I'm sorry," Sarah replied.
"I'm really sorry too I should have never kept the whole Sophie thing from you," Jake said.
"You were just trying to protect me and it was kinda sweet actually," Sarah said before giving her brother a big hug.
"Never thought I'd hear you say that," Jake said.
"I suppose this whole thing has just shown me what a jerk Elliot really is," Sarah said, starting to look upset.
"You still really like him though," Jake replied.
"No I don't," Sarah said raising her voice, trying to deny the truth.
"Of course you do, you don't just stop have feelings for someone like that even if he did really hurt you," Jake said
"I just wish those feeling would go away though," Sarah replied.
"They will, just give it time," Jake said.
"Come on lets carry on looking for Mike," Sarah said standing up from the log they had been sitting on.
"Ok you know he could be anywhere by now, he could of gotten on a bus or train," Jake said.
"Don't say that he wouldn't have done that," Sarah said.
"Mark did, he was on the train and ready to go back to Midland," Jake said.
"You know it' all my fault he ran away. If I had just forgiven you then none of this would be happening," Sarah said as she began to cry.
"Don't blame yourself, it's just as much my fault if I had told you about Sophie then none of this would of been happening either, or if Elliot had never cheated on you with Sophie then again none of this would be happening, so don't blame yourself," Jake said.
"How far away is this skate park?" Jessica asked.
"Just another two minutes," Elliot replied.
"I hope he's there because it's really dark now and he's only eleven and he's all on his own," Jessica said.
"Don't worry Jessica he'll turn up," Elliot said.
"I sure hope so," Jessica replied.
"Hey mom you okay," Nora said as her, Bud, Lorraine and baby Tom drove up the drive way towards the house.
"I'm ok, I just want to find him," Kate replied.
"Mom its ok he'll turn up," Lorraine said.
" It's nearly eleven o'clock and everyone is still out looking for him and I haven't heard from most of them, I hope there all ok," Kate said trying to stay strong.
"Who has she heard from Kim?" Lorraine asked.
"Only dad who's with Nigel and Kyle, we've not heard from Sarah, Jake, Henry, Mark or Jessica and all the Murtaugh's are out helping look for him as well," Kim replied.
"What about Charlie?" Bud asked.
"He went away out looking for him too, he called about an hour ago to say he hadn't had any luck," Kim replied.
"Hello," Kate said answer the phone.
"Hey Mom it's Charlie, I've not found Mike but I did find Henry and Mark so they're going to stay with me since it's getting late," Charlie said.
"Ok," Kate replied.
"Who was that mom?" Nora asked.
"It was Charlie saying he's with Mark and Henry," Kate replied.
"We'll start looking too," Lorraine said.
"Yeah and we'll let you know if we see any of the others. Have you tried calling their cells?" Nora asked.
"No I tried Jake and Sarah's because they ran off but it went straight to voice mail," Kate replied.
