((Thanks for the tips and support you guys! Okay, I haven't exactly come up
with an ending yet, I'm making it up as I go along- so this is going to be
harder. I'll try to make my chapters longer, sorry- and if there are any
grammatical mistakes- sorry. The best I can do is spell check... Oh, and
thanks for pointing out that Zach is really Zack- oops... Thanks again!))
Disclaimer: How many times have I been through this?!? I own
nothing/anyone/anything/ any part of this story! *sighs* Okay, I'm done
now...
Chapter 3: Suspicions Arising
"Breath, Katie, breath!" Katie saw a blurry image of Summer leaning over her. "It was your birthday only two days ago, you can't die!" "Summer- she's awake." Zack pointed out blankly to his frantic girlfriend. Katie sat up as Summer jumped up and clapped her hands happily, hugging Zack as though he had predicted a miracle. "What happened?" Instantly, flooding back to her like a tidal wave, she remembered Freddy being missing! And then the phone call... and then she had... had she fainted? She shook her head. There was no time for that now. She had to find Freddy! "Oh my God, you guys! We need to find Freddy! Call the police- do something! I'll start looking downtown, Zack, you can-" Dewey interrupted her, "Hold up, there! We are not going to the fuzz unless we know for sure! Plus, I'm not exactly a favorite among the local authorities and I don't want them thinking I'm crazy or something... Anyways, we'll just have to check with the other band members first. There are almost twenty of us- someone has to know something! Once we check things out a bit more, then we'll get the police, cuppish?" Katie shrugged solemnly and nodded. Freddy had to be okay. He just had to! Someone in the band had to know more, they had to! She had a gut feeling... Someone in this band knows something- and I'm gonna find out... ~*~*~*~*~*~
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!!! Zack pounded on the wooden door of Frankie. Katie had come up to him and Summer after they had left to Dewey's.
"We need to talk to the other band members- now. I have a feeling that one of them knows something. Will you guys help me?" She had asked. Willing to help out Freddy, and Katie, of course they had volunteered to ask around. Now, here he was at Frankie's house- ready to get some dirt. He couldn't believe something like this would happen to Freddy! Who, what, when, where, why, and how? All of those questions needed to be solved- and he knew that Freddy's being depended on it.
"Zack, man. What's up? I thought practice had been cancelled for today." Frankie chattered as he opened the door with a creak and let Zack inside.
"Dude- Freddy's missing!" Zack replied before rattling off the story. By the end, Frankie's mouth had dropped three feet from his jaw.
"No way! Freddy?!" He had exclaimed, sitting down on a couch.
"Do you know anything by any chance?" Zack tried- though it was quite obvious Frankie had no clue. Or did he? Just for a split second Zack thought he saw something flitter over Frankie's eyes. Had that been guilt? Fear? Anger?
"No, man. The last time I saw him he had been flirting with Eleni by his drums at practice. Then he had left to walk home with Katie. I never heard him mention anything about leaving or anything..." Frankie solemnly shook his head- which had turned a light shade of pink. Zack guessed because Frankie had had a crush on Eleni for forever- and everyone in the band knew about it- except her, of course. And maybe Freddy.
So Freddy had been flirting with her... If mentioning it was enough to make Frankie blush, would living with it be enough to provoke Frankie to do something drastic? Zack's brow furrowed. Could Frankie have done something to Freddy? ~*~*~*~*~*~
"You guys find anything out?" Katie asked nervously as the three met up at the driveway of Freddy's deserted house- as Katie had told them to before.
"Not exactly. Michelle wasn't home- so I went to Eleni's house. She said that she didn't know anything. I made a list of our band- so we can take notes and stuff. Does anyone else feel like a detective or something?" Summer bustled, taking out her clipboard. Katie could see Zack smile and put his arm around Summer.
"Yeah- but I bet you're the best detective of them all." He grinned. Katie sighed.
"Could you two please cut the girlfriend/boyfriend thing out until we find Freddy?!" She cried, pacing around. Instantly, the two others blushed and stepped away from each other.
"Sorry." Zack and Summer mumbled together.
"Okay- so there's nothing from Eleni that we know of. Michelle could still be a... suspect? She wasn't home. I checked out Leonard- he seemed pretty innocent. He had been out all last night and this morning with his parents out of town- and I know he's telling the truth because his parents were unpacking suitcases and junk. What about you, Zack?" Katie explained as Summer zipped across her clipboard with her pencil.
"I went to Frankie's. He said he didn't know anything- but he did get kind of tense when he mentioned that he last saw Freddy flirting with Eleni. I dunno if that means anything, but that's all I got." He shrugged. Katie smiled. Finally! Something of a lead!
Whoa there, she told herself. You are acting like Miss Police Sergeant! Would anyone in the band really kidnap Freddy? You're acting like the world is ending and only you can stop it. Why?
She had no answer. Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw Zack looking off dazed behind her shoulder. She followed his gaze, where she saw a tattered piece of cloth caught on a branch of a huge weeping cherry tree- that Freddy often used to climb on to escape from his room.
She immediately walked over to it, with Zack and Summer following.
"What is it?" Summer asked, confused.
"That, my friend, is a thing called evidence." ((I'll be updating as soon as I can- review, review, review- please! ())
