The wrong kind of comfort
Chapter 8
Conclusion
The Palace
She had been missing 5 days now and all of them knew, especially Noah that as each day passed, the less of a chance it was that Kit would return. Noah rubbed his forehead tiredly. Hayley looked up from her assignment and sighed. "Noah why don't you go up to bed and rest, worrying isn't doing you any good"
Noah looked up "It's no use hayls; Every time I do go to sleep I have these nightmares of her...." He gulped "Never mind"
Hayley gave him a sympathetic look. "The police still haven't got any leads"?
Noah shook his head "No, but the officer said that if any of us thought or remembered anything that we were to give him a call"
Hayley looked down at her watch "I'm meeting Alex for lunch; do you want to come with me"?
Noah shook his head
"Are you sure"?
He nodded his head and Hayley bit her lip "will you be ok"?
Noah gave her a grim smile, "I'll be fine"
Caravan Park
Rhys wore a worried expression as he watched Beth walk back and forth across the kitchen floor.
"Beth?"
"Hmmm"
"Are you alright?"
She looked up at him incredulously, her eyes welling up with tears "Of course I'm not ok; my daughter's been missing for 5 days!" After a few moments she rushed up to him and threw her arms around him.
"I'm sorry "she cried "I didn't mean to snap at you, "I'm just so frustrated and the police they aren't doing anything"
He rubbed her back soothingly, "I know". He knew they were doing the best they could, but it didn't seem enough and he could understand how she felt, after all, if it were one of his girls, he'd be feeling exactly the same way.
She stood back and wiped her face "It's just , I can't understand why someone would want to do this to Kit , I mean I know heaps of people disliked her and some probably still do , but why do this of all things, there not just punishing her , their punishing us"
Rhys froze; a light bulb had suddenly just switched on in his head. He rushed to the phone and started dialing
"Rhys"?
"I bet that's exactly what their doing"
"What"?
"Maybe it's someone out to get us and not Kit"
He turned back to the phone "Hi this is Rhys Sutherland can I please speak to officer Michaels"
The Beach
Dani silently sat down next to Scott
"Hey" she said softly
He turned to her "Hey" he whispered back, and then stared out into the ocean again.
"I've been looking for you all day" she paused "Where you been"?
He shrugged his shoulders "Here and there"
Dani sighed, she knew what that meant.
"You went looking again"?
She was answered with silence
"Scott please talks to me" she pleaded
He took hold of her hand "I can't right now Dani, please just sit with me"
Caravan Park
"Thanks" said Rhys gratefully into the phone before he hung up
He walked over to Beth
"Officer Michaels will be here in a couple of hours"
She nodded her head "Ok"
"I'll make you a nice cuppa"
Beth gave a tired smile, she knew how hard he was trying I have to try too she silently thought
"That'll be good, thanks"
