Bellamy, Octavia, and Lincoln stood at Octavia's counter in her kitchen talking. Bellamy glancing at the time on the microwave.
"She must be ready by now" He stated. The three of them walking out into the hallway, Lincoln paused to lock up as Octavia walked to Clarke's door. She knocked once and the door clicked open. Bellamy felt his heart drop.
"Clarke!" He yelled walking in and searching the apartment. He moved room to room feeling the panic start to take over. His mind was occupied with thoughts scolding himself for not staying with her.
"Bell" Octavia called, He walked into the living room seeing her reading a note and holding a key.
"The note says she had a family emergency, to look after the apartment" Octavia stated. 'Family emergency, my ass' . Bellamy looked to the counter grabbing the envelope with his name on it, that's when he noticed her phone. He opened it up, his message on the top screen, She didn't even read it, and she always locked her apartment, 'What the Hell did she do, she had time to write a letter but not fucking call me'. He slammed his hands off the counter receiving looks from his sister and Lincoln.
"Here Bell" Octavia said handing him Clarke's key.
"She would want you to have it if anyone. I know her, she was just trying to make me feel important too" Octavia smiled, her smile faded quickly, her brothers dark eyes meeting her own. Something was wrong.
"Bell, what is it?" Octavia asked.
"There is a lot you don't know about Clarke, Call Harper and Raven, Get Monty, Jasper, Wick, and Miller over here. Fuck her secret, we need to find her." Bellamy said. Octavia hesitated watching him intently.
"Now O, she's in danger" he added. Octavia turning as Lincoln nodded following her out to their apartment, closing the door behind him.
Bellamy unplugged her phone putting it in his pocket. He looked down at the letter in his hands. Running his fingers over the letters of his name along the front of the envelope.
"Clarke, what did you do? where are you?" He whispered to no one. He slowly flipped the envelope over opening it before sliding the handwritten letter into his hands. He took a deep breath hopefully helping him to be ready for whatever could be written in the letter, he unfolded it slowly. His eyes focusing on her writing.
Bellamy,
Hello, my hostile patron, I know you probably already pissed just by seeing the letter sitting on the counter, I'm okay, I promise, I have to take a little trip, I should be back soon! Please look after my apartment, Octavia has the key. Know that I'll be thinking of you every day and I can't wait to be back with all of you. Finish out this soccer season on top!, we worked to hard to let it all fall apart. Tell everyone I am immensely sorry, but it's an emergency, no choice in the matter. Don't give Charlotte to much trouble at the library. May we meet again.
Your Princess,
Clarke xoxox
He smirked at the thought of her being His Princess and the fact that she called him Her Hostile Patron. It was something small and insignificant to anyone else but he got the message. She wouldn't have been careless, she wouldn't have left letters where anyone could find them or see the names of her friends. She would have slid the envelopes under Octavia's door before she left, she would have taken her phone, she would have locked her apartment. She would have told him, maybe. Something was wrong, he knew it. He stood grabbing Charlotte's letter and heading for the door, the backpack on the floor caught his attention. He knelt down unzipping it, it was full of clothes, a phone charger and her apartment and library keys sitting on top. She was going to leave, she was prepared to run, and she did leave, only it wasn't her choice. He knew Clarke better than that.
He stood opening the door, and putting his letter in his pocket, still holding Charlotte's as he locked up her apartment. Lincoln exited his apartment.
"Everyone will be here before or around ten. " he stated. Bellamy nodded.
"I'm going to take this to Charlotte, I'll be back by ten" Bellamy stated, he clipped her key on his key ring and headed down the stairs.
...
He entered the library, Charlotte giving him a puzzled look.
"Hey, Clarke had an emergency, she asked me to give this to you" He handed her the letter. He stood there while she read it quick.
"Okay easy enough" She smiled setting the letter down.
"Alright then" he replied turning.
"I'll see you at the game later?" Charlotte asked. He paused 'shit, the game'
"Yeah, we will all be there" he forced a smile, thinking about Clarke's letter, and telling him to finish the season on top.
He was headed down the steps when her phone started to ring in his pocket. He pulled it out seeing an all to familiar number.
"Roma?" he answered.
"Bellamy?" she replied
"Yea, you wouldn't happen to know where Clarke is? or care to enlighten me as to why you have her number?" he asked.
"I don't know where she is, however I need to talk to her, if you see her tell her we need to move our time up to 11, same place alley by the park"
"Nope, how about 11 am Octavia's apartment"
"I have strict orders to not involve you in this"
"Roma, 11 at Octavia's I am not playing" he growled before hanging up.
...
He walked in Octavia's apartment everyone he had mentioned to call earlier, was sitting in the living room looking to him. He grabbed the remote clicking the t.v. off. He had their undivided attention as he told them everything, he even told Raven about Finn, he felt like he was betraying her but he was scared and needed all the help he could get, but he wouldn't get it if he wasn't honest, that was just the kind of friends he had. They were the kind you could trust to hide anything. Today he was grateful for that.
They all sat waiting for a knock on the door. At eleven on the dot the knock echoed through the room. Octavia opened the door, Roma and Murphy entering wearing backpacks. Before they could take note that Clarke wasn't there Bellamy shut the door behind them.
"Packed for a trip? where are you going?" Raven asked. Roma looked around, the realization that Clarke wasn't there, the dark look of rage in Bellamy's eyes. Something was wrong. Before Murphy could answer Raven, Roma spoke.
"Where is Clarke? we only have a small window to move her" She asked.
Raven and Octavia checked Roma and Murphy's Backpacks. Octavia handing Bellamy three airline tickets to Michigan.
"She's missing, you were going to take her, without telling me?" Bellamy's voice was just short of a roar as he backed Murphy into the wall, his hand fisted in the front of Murphy's shirt.
"Listen, If I told you, then what? you guilt her into staying, because you don't want to lose her, she was not safe here, clearly, now that she is missing, there is only one person who has her, and I hate to say it but her odds are not good." Murphy stated standing toe to toe with Bellamy. Bellamy released his shirt and ran a hand through his hair. He took a step back and looked back to Murphy,
"What do we do now?" Bellamy asked, he looked wreck. There was no easy way to describe it.
"Okay lets get a notebook, What do we know about who has her?" Harper asked moving to the counter. Roma eyed her suspiciously.
"Nothing on the record, this is us figuring it out, I'm not calling my unit unless I have to, In that case I'll leave your's and Murphy's name out, I promise" Harper said to Roma. Roma nodded taking a seat across from Harper. Bellamy and Murphy joined Harper and Roma. After an hour of notes everyone got a task.
"Monty and Jasper Find the tape footage from the camera in the hallway. Let's see who works for Nyko, aside from Murphy " Harper stated both guys nodding before heading out.
"Raven and Wick, take a walk, the library, coffee shop, soccer field, all her usual stops, see if anyone else is looking for her, Octavia, you are staying here, in case she comes back, Lincoln you are also here but I want you to both go next door. Snoop, see if anything will give us an idea who took her, Lock up once you are in, just in case anyone try's to get in her apartment. Murphy, call your friends, the ones you can trust."
"That won't take long, their is only one" he said heading for the balcony.
"Roma, reach out to your family, any way that anyone can help is appreciated" Harper stated.
"Bellamy, go with her." she added. He stood looking at Roma.
"Come on, let's find your princess" she said grabbing her backpack.
"I'm going to use Octavia's laptop, see if I can't find something helpful, run a few names, once you are all out I'm locking it, so knock. " Harper said sliding Octavia's Laptop over in front of her.
Everyone headed in different directions to different locations. Bellamy following Roma out of the building, They were going to find her, they had to find her.
