Marko's pov:

I walked along the boardwalk, Laddie trailing behind me as he held on to a stuffed animal that Dwayne had won him in one of the boardwalks games. I was taking him for ice cream like he had begged me to for the past hour and like the good 'older brother' I was, I gave in and took him to go get said ice cream. The boardwalk was as it normally was, bright lights, joyful screams, crowds of people and the various different foods you could smell, nothing out of the ordinary.

"I want vanilla! No, chocolate!" Laddie cried with excitement when we got to the ice cream parlour and his face lit up like a Christmas tree as he pressed his face up against the glass; eyeing up what flavour he wanted. "What do you want Marko?"

I look at the menue before my ears tune in to something else...the tv. "Now tonight, an urgent plea from a mother in need." Nothing out of the normal, just a dumb teenager running away again...they'll never find her. "Kirsty Santiago needs YOUR help in find her teenage daughter." Kirsty? Where have I heard that name before. It was familiar and I had no idea where or when I had heard it from.

"Marko! What flavour do you want?" Laddie asked urgently as if he was in a life and death situation. I shrugged him off as I continued to listen to the TV as the reporter continued her sob story back ground on the girl and her obviously distraught mother. The camera pans to a blonde haired woman with brown, tearful eyes and a solemn expression. "Please help me find my daughter, bring her back to me please!" Crying about it isn't exactly going to help her. "And please if you can hear me...come home...Katherine...come back to me." My whole body froze as my eyes instantly glued to the TV. "Please, please just come home Katherine, we all miss you here, come home and we can get you the help that you need."

And then, my sweethearts beautiful face showed up on screen along with a number underneath it. "Marko! Flavour!" Laddie tugged on my sleeve urgently. "Now, it is important that if you see Katherine Santiago, call this number immediately and do not approach. She as her mother has told us is prone to self harm in stressful situations and is not in the correct head space." The reporter finished up before it turned back to the beast dressed like an angel.

"Come home."

((Hey guys!! I'm in a much better mental state at the moment and I should be posting more frequently! What do you think of Kirsty, Katherine's step mum, looking for her? What do you think will happen?))
