Here's chapter 14. I'm not sure how many chapters are left. I think that I'm going to have a few chapters with POV's of Sadie and Anubis. From here and until Sadie and Anubis meet again the chapters are going take turns in their POV's hope you enjoy.
Anubis's POV
It was the next day. I had rented a car and decided to come up to where I had last saw Sadie. Where the accident was. I stood on the sidewalk and looked at the intersection. I was standing close to where my car had crashed. I didn't remember anything but Sadie screaming and me trying to speed up to avoid getting hit. Sadie had probably survived the crash. I study it a minute before someone comes up to me.
"Hello," A voice says. I turn to see a girl with red hair and green eyes. She was wearing blue jean shorts, a white shirt, and she had converse on. "You must be the boy from the accident."
"How did you know?" I ask.
"I was the one who found you," She says. "I called the cops and everything. I also stopped some of the major bleeding before the paramedics arrived."
"Well," I say. "Thank you."
"You're welcome," She smiles. "I'm always happy to help. I'm also glad that you're alright. The paramedics were not sure you were going to make it."
"I guess your help did save me then," I say.
"Guess so," She smiles. "I'm Layla," she holds out her hand.
"Anubis," I say.
"Well Anubis," She says. "Nice to meet you." I shake her hand. "So, what brings you back here?"
"I was just trying to figure out what happened," I say. "We're there any cameras that would've caught what happened?"
"Well," Layla says. "It would've been the bank across the street. I believe the police already check them. The cameras were apparently down that night."
"Is there any other cameras around town?" I ask.
"There's some outside my father's shop," Layla says. "It's all the way down at the end of the buildings." She points.
"Can we look at it?" I ask. "Maybe I can see if the person who hit my car drove that way?"
"I'll have to ask my dad," She says. "Any specific reason you're doing all this? Shouldn't you be recovering?"
"There was a girl in the car with me," I explain. "I believe that whoever hit me took her with them."
"Shouldn't you let the cops know that?" She asks.
"I'm sure they already know that she's missing. I decided to start my own investigation." I tell her.
"Come with me," Layla says. "I'll see what I can do." I follow Layla down the road to her fathers' shop. When she goes to open the door, I sit on the bench. I needed to sit down because my ribs were hurting. "Are you alright?" She stops and asks.
"Yeah," I assured her. "I just need to sit down for a moment."
"Alright," Layla looked concerned. "I'm going to go in and talk to my father. I'll be right back."
"Okay," I say. She goes in and I was left alone. I sat and watched everything in the town. It was peaceful. I'm sure they were all shocked when they heard about the accident. I'm sure some of them heard it. I'm worried about Sadie. I'm sure my father had her by now. She may not even be alive anymore. A few moments later Layla comes back out.
"My dad said you can come look at the footage," She says.
I get up and follow her into the store. We go in the back. I see a man who look a lot like Layla. He looks at us. "Hello son," He says. "I'm sorry about what happened to you."
"Thank you," I say. "Thanks for letting me look at the cameras."
"No problem," He says. "I hope you find this girl. My name's Oliver Thomas. If you need anything let me know. Layla will help you search through the cameras."
"Thanks Mr. Thomas," I say.
He leaves and we begin looking through the cameras. I we look for a half hour before we find something. I pause the footage. I see two people in the car. I recognized the hair of the girl. It was Sadie. I let it play until the license plate is in view. I write down the make and model of the car and the license plate number.
"Did you get what you need?" Layla asks.
"Yes," I say.
"I'll walk you out," Layla says.
We walk out of the store. "Thanks again, You and your father were both really helpful."
"It's what we do," Layla says. "We're always helping out people who need it."
We walk down towards my care in silence. Once we get to the car she says something. "I hope you find her, the girl."
"I hope so too," I say. "I don't know if she's alive or dead. If she's alive she's probably worried. I can't imagine what has happened."
"She's a lucky girl," Layla says. "You should be resting in the hostpital but your up four days later and already searching for her. The police probably have people looking everywhere but you still decide to search yourself."
"She means a lot to me," I say. "I've never met someone who I cared for as much as I care for her."
"Good luck," Layla says. "If you ever come back through town stop by."
"I will," I say. "Thanks Layla."
I get in the car and drive back into the city. It was about and hour and a half drive. Once I got there I got a motel room. I took out my phone and called Horus.
"Anubis," He says. "Everything alright?"
"Yes," I say. "I got a license plate number. I'll send it to you in a text. I need you to figure out who owns it and give me the name and address."
"Sure thing," He says.
He hangs up and I text him the plate number. I decide to take a shower. I looked in the mirror after removing my shirt. I had bruises all over my body. I had cuts on my face and arms. I also had the cut from earlier that Sadie fixed up for me. Once I was out of the shower I put sweatpants on. I decide to lay down and get some rest. My body was still sore and I didn't exactly wait for the doctor to prescribe and medicine. I just needed to focus on the job at hand. I have to find Sadie Kane. I have to let her know I'm out here looking for her. I looked at the time. It was getting late. I decided to get some sleep. I spent my time thinking about Sadie until I fell asleep.
Hope you enjoy this chapter. I know it's short. I somehow managed to get two chapters for you today. Hope you enjoyed them.
