Update. Oh love.
Jake ran down the street, praying to the deepest of his heart that Beth was safe. Beth was his niece as, thus far, his favorite. He wasn't even sure if she could be considered his niece...more like a half niece. But still his niece in his heart.
He got to the park within a few minutes. Luckily the park was filled with lights and assuming Beth knew where the playground was, began running into that direction. He was lucky that the park had a lot of lights on and the moon was full and very bright.
Down at the park he searched all over the playground and called out her name "Beth! Beth!" He cried out, his heart racing faster than ever. "Beth!" he called out louder, running all over the place. Looking inside of tunnels and every single monkey bar, swing set, teeter-totter, and bridge.
Nothing.
After about ten minutes Jake sat down on a bench, his head resting in his hands shamefully as he kept thinking one thought only.
"I suck, I suck... Oh god." Jake took a deep breathe. He clasped his hands together and looked up at the sky. "Hey fella. Look I know I don't pray so much or attended anything religious at all but you've gotta pull something here for me, please? I've...okay I've done bad things. But Beth's my niece and... I love that little girl. So do her parents—birth and adoptive. Quinn, Shelby and Puck. Please, just do this one super nice thing for me? Send me a sign too?"
Jake rested back on the bench and sighed, taking a deep breathe.
Minutes late he could hear the sounds of a band, far away at the central gazebo. A familiar tune he's heard before. It was the song by Queen that Puck loved out of the rest. And for one reason only.
His daughters name.
Jake looked up, "If this is it..." He said as he got up and ran towards the gazebo.
