Twelve weeks later
It's been twelve weeks and still there have been not sightings of Abby. No one has heard from her or seen her. It's very strange for someone who was having such a good time in her life to just disappear without a trace. Carter had tried the police. He tried to list her as a missing person but they said that if she left of her own free will then technically she wasn't a missing person. Starting an early shift was always hard but since Abby had disappeared it became harder and harder for him to get out of bed in the morning. Making his way to County he was thinking of the last conversation he had with Abby.
****
"Hey sweetheart." Carter crept up behind Abby sliding his arms round her waist. She smelled so good even after a twelve-hour shift. "You off?"
"In about ten minutes yes." She seemed a little distracted but nothing out of the ordinary. She had suffered the wrath of Romano all night and was looking forward to having the day to herself. She had some things to do.
"Well, I'm off at six so see you after that. I'll come round and we can have a meal or something. Your choice." He smiled as he whispered in her ear.
"As much as I would love to I'm on again at six. Maybe another night." She turned in his arms and slid her arms round his back. Reaching up she gave him a quick kiss before disappearing.
That was the last he saw of her.
****
"Carter!" He heard Haleh shouting on him as he neared the end of his shift. "Carter!" She called again.
"Yes Haleh and what can I do for you?" He was tired as he was every day. He wasn't sleeping at night and working so hard.
"Well I was talking to a friend of mine who works over at Northwestern. She was saying that there is a woman fitting Abby's description there on a regular basis. She doesn't know if it is her or not but it's the only lead we have had since she been gone."
"Haleh you are a star. Thank you and thank your friend." He couldn't believe it. He finally had a lead to look for her.
An hour later Carter and Susan were taking a walk down by the river. Carter loved coming here. Abby and he would walk here all the time. He could see someone standing by the spot he would stand on a regular basis. He didn't think anything of it. "I can't believe it Susan. I may be able to find her." He looked up just as the person started to walk away. "Susan, it's her." He started to run after the woman who had been standing by the river. But never caught up with her.
Susan ran after him. "Carter are you sure it was her? She wouldn't run away from you if she knew it was you."
"It looked like her but I don't know there was something different about her. Something that I can't put my finger on." Carter rubbed his chin. Was it her or was he just imagining again.
