CHAPTER 11: WHEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG...
DANI'S P.O.V.
Michael's idea was to stay out all night and find things to do.
I told him I would go out with him on one condition...I did not want to end up in the same situation as D.J. and Callie.
So we left the zoo to find other places to in Los Angeles. All the time I was wondering if my parents, Uncle G. or Uncle Sam would turn up at the same place Michael and I ended up at.
I knew it wouldn't be long before D.J. or someone told my parents I wasn't at school.
At first it had been a thrill being the bad girl and skipping school...defying who I had always been.
Now though the thrill was wearing off and the worry about being caught was starting to set in.
We took my car from the zoo and made our way around Los Angeles acting like tourist. I had lived in Los Angeles all my life, so it was kind of fun to play a tourist.
"You okay?" Came Michael's voice and I glanced at him, before returning my eyes to the road.
"Yeah, I was just thinking. This is fun...I never thought about skipping school." I told him with a smile.
"I've skipped school a few times, but...it's different skipping school with a friend." Michael told me with a smile of his own.
D.J.'S P.O.V.
I had gotten to school this morning hoping to talk to Dani and repair things.
I looked around all morning, but as the day went on and lunch came...
I had not seen or heard from her all morning and Callie had noticed as well. Callie has already asked me if Dani was at home sick.
So I finally had to tell Callie everything...
How Dani lied on the beach about being okay with everything...
About Dani starting to rebel...
Going off twice...
Callie listened and then I saw the same worry in my eyes that had to be in mine as well.
"I'm going to call, Dani. I know she probably won't answer, but I have to try to call her first." I said at last.
"Good idea." Callie replied, her voice breaking and I looked to see tears in her eyes. "It's going to be okay Callie." I said, trying to reassure her as much as I was trying to reassure myself.
"I don't understand why this had to happen. What we started on the beach that day...changed everything. I just wish we could go back and..." Callie began. "We can't change it, Cal. We just have to try and deal with it the best we can." I said, hitting the speed dial on my phone for Dani.
I knew that my afternoon classes were about to start, but I had to make this call first.
I had to find, Dani...again.
After a few rings...it went straight to Dani's voicemail.
I don't know why, but the hair on the back of my neck began to stand up and I got a feeling of dread.
I can't explain it, but I knew...something had happened to, Dani.
"Voicemail," I said as disconnected the call, after leaving a voicemail for Dani. "Why don't you try your Grandma? Maybe she knows something." Callie suggested.
So I called my Grandma and she told me that Dani had left this morning. I couldn't call my parents, at least not yet.
But the feeling of dread was getting worse with each passing minute.
THIRD PERSON'S P.O.V.
The school day finally ended without a word from Dani.
D.J. knew he would have to tell his parents now, if his Grandmother had not already told his mom.
After school D.J. and Callie decided to check the beach and several of their other hangouts.
There was no sign of Dani anywhere...
Finally after a few hours, D.J. dropped Callie off at her house and the dread he had been feeling all day was now almost unbearable.
He now had to go home and tell his parents.
THE DEEKS' HOUSE...
Kensi and Marty were sitting in the living room, but looked up when D.J. walked in.
"What's wrong, D.J.?" Kensi asked upon seeing him. "Why does something have to be wrong?" D.J. inquired, with a smile.
The smile did not reach his eyes or hide the worry he felt.
"D.J. we can tell something is wrong. Did something happen at school?" Marty asked.
"Dani wasn't at school today and when I called her phone...it just went to voicemail. She hasn't called me back. Callie and I just spent the last few hours looking for her at our usual hang outs, just like I did last night. I couldn't find her anywhere." D.J. replied at last.
A look of worry and fear crossed, Kensi and Marty's faces.
They were reminded of years ago when D.J. had been kidnapped.
They all knew they couldn't jump to conclusions, because of Dani's recent attitude change to the bad girl.
Kensi wanted to do something and Marty knew the LAPD wouldn't do anything until forty eight hours had gone by, but something had to be done...NOW!
"Let's call Callen and Sam; we need to tell them what's going on. Kensi, you call..." Marty began, only to be interrupted by D.J.
"I already called Grandma and she said that Dani left this morning. She hasn't heard from her since." D.J. told them.
There was a knock at the door and the feeling of dread filled the house...
