Perfect Tragedy
"I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night."
Billy Joel
Chapter 6
"Billy, have you found them yet," Charlie Swan yelled into the phone.
Waiting for an answer from the other side. His daughter and godson have gone missing and it was his job to find them. He felt as if it were his sacred duty to do this, a solo mission with the help from one man on the side. That man and him have been friends ever since they were kids. His trusted this one man with his life and his family's as well. He wanted to know if his daughter was all right. This was scaring him and he knew why because she was his little girl, one of the only things that he would ever treasure in his small-outlived life, along with Bella, of course.
"I have not," he replied into the phone.
Charlie placed the phone onto the cradle and sat down. He placed his head in between his arms and gave out a sigh. "Where could you be little one," he asked himself.
He looked into the window that was in front of him and began to wonder where his little girl had gone. This was not like her to do such a thing. And why is it happening now? He suspected that it would. It almost happened when they went to the mall. Little Kagome had become intrigued with the arcade with all its bright and shiny lights. It was if she was tempted to touch on of those machines. She stood there as he walked away. About five minuets later he realized that she wasn't walking with him and become worried.
He walked back to the arcade and saw her standing there with her small hand in her mouth. Staring at the machines. He picked her up and hugged her and was glad that no one had taken spent a few minuets lying with his head on his arms. Sadness overwhelmed him. He stared off into space. Not really caring about anything. That was when the phone began to ring. He had caller-id. He picked up the phone with his right hand and looked to see who was calling. Eagerly holding on to see if it was Billy.
It was Kaede not Billy. He let it ring until the last telephone ring and then decided to answer. "Hello, Swan speaking," Charlie, said. He was waiting for a response. It came in about three seconds after he said hello.
"Hello Mr. Charlie. I have found your daughter," Kaede replied.
"Do you have her with you? Is she all right? Is she feed? Where exactly did you find her?"
The questions began to come out more and more. The man had feared for his own daughter's safety. She was his one and only drug and that was the only thing the kept him from doing something wrong, the one thing that held him together. Without her, he would be in a pile of ashes by now. She was something he treasured more than anything in the world other that Bella. She meant a lot to him but not as much as Kagome had.
On the other end of the phone he heard a laugh. He raised an eyebrow. "She is fine. Her and Jacob are currently playing with each other. She has a few scraps and bruises from falling. Just like Jacob. She and the boy are fed. They were in the forest," she replied answering the question tick or tat.
She could hear a sigh from the other side of the phone and laughed again. If this had happened to her daughter or son, she would've reacted in the same way he had. Still it was funny to hear him so worried like that.
"I'm coming over to get her," he said in a quick manner.
"I will see you then. Bye," she replied.
"Bye," he said as he put then phone down.
He was rejoicing.
He had finally found his daughter or at least Kaede had. But at least she was breathing and everything. That was all that mattered to him. She was living, that was the thing that hit him the most. He loved this little girl so much. If she had died, he would've died too, on the inside that is. There would be nothing else that would fill its gap. She was the only thing that kept him sane. He needed her. Just like any gang-banger that needed to get his next fix.
He picked the phone up again and began to dial Billy's number. He held the phone to his right ear and heard as it began to ring. It repeated two to three times before Billy actually picked up. "Hello," said the voice from the other side of the phone. He knew it was him. He waited only a few seconds before he replied. It was so easy to do this.
"I've found them!"
"Where are they," asked the voice from the other side of the phone.
"They're at Kaede's. She found them unconscious in the forest. They're all right. Meet me there in a few minuets," he replied.
"Alright I will."
He hung up the phone and ran to his next-door neighbors. He panted as he ran. It was a lot for a man or woman. Their child lost during a thunderstorm. Then found only a few hours later. That was a lot. He ran up the stairs and banged on the door. The door swung right open. At the door were Kagome and Jacob. Standing still and crying. He bent down and hugged the both of them. He hugged the both of them as if his life depended on it. These were his most sacred treasures, his way of living in the coldness of the world.
"Its good to see that you made it."
"It is. Is it alright if I take them home?"
"Yes. Kagome has a few bruises, so she should be fine. Jacob has a few scraps and bruises, so he should be fine as well."
"How can I ever thank you," he asked.
"There is no need."
"Are you sure?"
"I am. I do not need to be paid for finding children."
"All right. I will leave you to yourself. Thank you very much for finding them."
"You are welcome. Now go."
"Ok," He replied as he walked out of the house with the children in his arms and walked back to his home. Billy eventually made it there. He hugged the heck out of the both of them. He was happy that they were safe and sound. They spent the rest of the day playing and having fun. This was something that they all would remember till they died. No matter what life would bring them. They would always be together and that was something that could be broken. Not by anything in the world.
Not even death itself.
