Looking For San
Chapter 5
As Quinn and Brittany drove up Mr Shue's driveway raindrops started to hit the windshield and the wind started to pick up.
'' Great, that's all San needs.'' Brittany mumbled as she opened the car door and got out. Quinn watched Brittany walk up the front stairs, getting soaked from the rain as she knocked on Mr Shue's door. Not long after Mr Shue answered in just a pair of boxer shorts, he had a sleepy expression on his face and looked surprise to see Brittany at his door. This was Quinn's cue to get out of the car and explain what was going on.
'' Quinn, Brittany, why are you at my door at 1:30 in the morning?'' Mr Shue asked before a yawn.
'' As you know Santana's missing and you need to tell us where Ms Pillsbury lives so she can tell us where that scary dentist guy lives so we can find San.'' Brittany huffed out all in one breath.
'' Santana's still missing?'' Mr Shue asked, extremely worried. Both blonde's just nodded. '' Come in.'' Mr Shue added as he stepped aside to let both girls in.
As Brittany and Quinn walked in and shut the door behind them they slowly followed Mr Shue into the living and sat down across from him on a coach.
'' Do you guys want a towel or anything, you two are soaked.''
'' No thanks Mr Shue, although you could put a shirt on or something because it's very distracting seeing you shirtless.'' Quinn admitted. Will just smiled as he got up from a comfy looking chair and went into his room.
'' Quinn, do you think Santana is cold?'' Brittany wondered looking at the other blond who was sitting right beside her.
'' Probably B.'' Quinn said, not even going to try to lie to her friend. '' But she'll be alright, Santana has always been strong.''
'' Hopefully.'' Brittany whispered as she rested her head on Quinn's shoulder. A couple seconds later Will came out in a white shirt with two over sized sweaters in his hands.
'' You guys looked cold so I grabbed these for you. I know there not the best fashion choice, but at least you two can be warm.'' He said handing both blonde's a sweater. Brittany put hers on first. The sweater was very baggy and went down to her thighs, but it did keep her warm. Quinn waited to put her sweater on.
'' So did you say that Santana's still missing.'' Mr Shue asked.
'' Yeah.'' Brittany frowned.
'' They were talking about her on the news before we came here.'' Quinn said nodding over at the large t.v. in the room. Mr Shue got the hint as he grabbed the remote from his coffee table and pressed the on button.
'' What Channel?'' Will asked. Brittany just shrugged, she didn't watch t.v. very often and when she did Santana always controlled what they watched, but Brittany didn't mind she loved anything Santana did.
'' I believe it was on channel 11.'' Quinn said. Then as Mr Shue changed the channel to 11 Quinn was positive that was the right channel, in fact the same news reporter who was talking about Santana moments before was talking again with a grim expression on her face.
'' Turn it up.'' Brittany shouted, suddenly getting closer to the television. Mr Shue did as Brittany asked and turned it up a couple notches.
'' Lima New'sNet just got back from talking to the police about what they have been doing to search for this missing girl, I believe there isn't good news.'' The news switched from the reporter to a Lima Police chief.
'' We have been searching for the missing teen for hours now and we have come up with very little. The only thing we know is that she might be around the west side of Lima, Ohio, so we are going to call it a night. We will resume with the search tomorrow morning and this time we will have choppers in the sky and officers with search dogs on the ground.'' The chubby police chief said.
'' Can you give us any information about the missing teen?''
'' Yes, her name is Santana Lopez. She goes to McKinley High School where she participates in cheerleading and glee club.'' The officer said as he nodded one last time before walking away.
'' If you have any information about where Santana Lopez might be please give us a call at missing persons.'' The news reporter concluded as the news switched over to a sports story.
The room was very still and quiet. Mr Shue nodded his head back and forth, not believing what was going on. Quinn kept her eyes focused on Brittany who was still staring at the t.v.,tears staining her cheeks.
'' We have to call.'' Brittany whispered as she broke the silence and finally turned around to face Quinn and Mr Shue.
'' Call and say what, we have no info.'' Quinn said, trying not to be so harsh on the other blond.
'' Yes we do. We know that San's favorite color is light blue, she hates the winter and that she's a really good kisser.'' Brittany explained. Mr Shue looked over at Quinn with a surprised look on his face.
'' Actually Britt, we didn't know that Santana was a good kisser.'' Quinn said.
'' Oh, well she is, trust me. Once she came over to my house and we-.'' Brittany was interrupted by Mr Shue.
'' Anyways, back to the problem.'' Mr Shue said trying to change the topic very quickly.
'' Please, so do you have Ms Pillsbury's number so we can call her and ask if she remembers where Dr Howell lives.'' Quinn asked.
'' Actually, I know where he lives.'' Mr Shue admitted.
'' Where!'' Brittany asked.
'' Do you know where the old train station is?'' He asked. Brittany shook her head no.
'' I do.'' Quinn said.
'' Okay, he lives right across from it, he's surrounded by trees.'' Mr Shue said. Quinn nodded.
'' And how do you know this?'' Quinn asked.
'' He invited me over once, when he was married to Emma.'' Will explained.
'' Well then Quinn and I should get going.'' Brittany said as she stood up from the coach and walked to the front door.
'' Yeah, it`s best if we leave and start looking for Santana.''
'' Are you sure you two should go look for her during the night?''
'' Well no one else is, so we have to.'' Brittany said. Quinn nodded, Brittany was right. Since the police were doing a crappy job looking for San it was up to them to find her.
'' Well do you want me to drive you two, it`s the least I can do.'' Mr Shue asked.
'' No, it`s alright Mr Shue, I'll just drive.'' Quinn said as she finally put the over sized sweater on and opened up the front door.
'' Thanks Mr Shue, for everything.'' Brittany said as she stepped out from the house and ran to Quinn's car.
'' Yeah thanks Mr Shue.'' Quinn said before giving Will a quick hug and running to her car.
As both blonde's got in the car and started to drive away the rain and wind started to get worse.
'' It`s about an hour and a half to the old train station, you should sleep.'' Quinn said to Brittany as she turned on to the highway.
'' But I do want you to be alone.'' Brittany said as her eyes started to get heavy.
'' I don`t mind B, but you should really get some rest, okay.''
'' Okay Q.'' Brittany said as she rested her head on the head rest of the seat and closed her eyes. '' Your the best Q, I hope you know that.'' Brittany whispered as she began to softly snore.
Santana huddled in a ball as she shivered and cried, that`s right Santana Lopez was crying. Her side was throbbing in pain and her thigh was burning. Heavy raindrops fell on the Latina and the wind made the trees dance.
All of a sudden Santana herd a loud crack that sounded not far from her.
'' What was that.'' Santana huffed out as she looked over in the direction the sound came from. A movement caught her eye as her breath froze. The Latina watched a huge tree fall, 5 feet away from her.
'' I have to get out of here.'' Santana said to herself as she shakily got on her two feet and wobbled as fast as she could. Santana herd tree after tree snap as the wind kept getting worse and worse.
'' Will this forest ever end.'' Santana said frustrated. Just then Santana tripped over a fallen tree and landed hard, her side aching with every pulse. Although she didn`t give. Santana Lopez never gave up. The Latina got on her hands and knees and began to crawl, her body getting weaker and weaker. The rain made the ground muddy and that much harder for Santana to crawl through. She finally saw a light in the distance and started to crawl faster. She could do this, she was almost out of this shitty forest.
Santana crawled in pain as she approached the outside of the forest, but what she saw wasn`t any better. Yes, she was out of the forest but now she was in a grassy field on the side of what looked like a highway no one used. The light she saw came from an old street lamp. There wasn`t even a house in sight. Santana whimpered as she realized where she was wasn`t any better then being in the forest. At least there was some kind of shelter in the forest.
The Latina crawled slowly towards the road in case anyone drove by, but she doubted it. The road was chipped and had many potholes. It looked like no one drove on it in ages. With all her strength that she had left Santana screamed, hoping anyone would hear her.
'' HELP!'' Santana screamed. '' Please help!'' Nobody answered, everything stayed still. '' Anybody!'' Santana screamed with her last strong breath. The Latina collapsed from her hands and knees and laid on the side of the road. Her body was weak and frozen from the rain, her voice a whisper and her legs jelly.
Santana looked up in the sky, praying someone would find her, soon.
Quinn turned down the radio not wanting to wake up the sleeping blond. Although she was pretty sure the bumpy road would wake her up sooner or later.
Brittany was mumbling in her sleep, something she always did and something Quinn always laughed at. Although Quinn was not laughing now.
'' Gotta find San.'' Brittany mumbled very quietly. '' Love her.'' Also escaped her lips. Quinn wiped the fresh tears from her face as she quickly looked up in the sky and prayed for them to find Santana.
As Quinn looked back on the road she noticed something on the side of the road up ahead. It looked like a log, but as she drove closer she noticed the figure had a shape to it.
Quinn slammed the brakes as her heart dropped to her stomach. The car jerked to a stop, waking Brittany up.
'' What's wrong Q?'' Brittany said confused. Quinn didn't answer. '' Quinn, what's going on.'' Brittany cried, scared.
'' I th-think that's San.'' Quinn whispered as she pointed to the figure up ahead of them.
