Chapter One
Nina quietly sat at the police station, fidgeting with her hands as the clock ticked from behind her. The ticking was making her even more nervous, it slowed time down. Lilia sat behind her, mimicking Nina almost identically.
They had both been called down to the police station, for questioning about Delaney's disappearance. She had no idea why they were questioning her nine-year old sister, did they really believe she would be a part of it?
"Nina Martin?" Someone called out, forcing Nina to look up. A police officer stood in front of her, holding a clipboard to his chest. "Come with me, please."
Nina slowly got up, and followed the officer into a closed-off room. There were no windows, only a mirror, which she knew was really a one-way window. Nina wasn't stupid, and even stupid people could figure that out. Movies showed that all the time.
The police officer closed the door, and gestured to a seat across from him. Nina quickly sat down, and glanced back at her hands, as he got his papers together.
"I'm Lieutenant Gearhart." The officer told Nina, looking over at her. He noticed how nervous she was, and calmly said "There is nothing to be worried about, Ms. Martin. This is a typical procedure that must be done, so we can figure out where Ms. Fitzgerald is." Nina nodded.
"Okay, so when was the last time you saw Delaney?" He asked her, taking his pencil from his pocket.
"I haven't seen her for a couple of days, we don't go to school anymore since we graduated, so we get to see each other as much…" Nina responded softly, not looking at the Lieutenant. She hated talking to older adults she didn't knew, it was awkward and uncomfortable.
"I see. What did you guys do last time you saw her?" Lieutenant Gearhart asked her.
"We went shopping at the mall. She seemed fine, if that's what you mean…" Nina replied, fidgeting a bit less. This wasn't too bad. They weren't accusing her, which is what she thought would happen.
The Lieutenant wrote some stuff on his clipboard, and looked back over at Nina. There wasn't much for him to ask her, since she hadn't seen Delaney that recently.
"Last question. Do you know anyone who doesn't like her? Or does Delaney have any enemies?"
Nina shook her head quickly, and the Lieutenant let her leave. Nina swiftly ran out of the room, and back into the room she was in before. Lilia was gone, she figured they took her to be questioned already.
Is it even legal to question a nine-year old about a kidnapping?
Nina went over to the snack machines, and took out her wallet. She was starving, they had been at the station for three hours already, making it nearly midnight. She was surprised Lilia hadn't fallen asleep, Nina was ready to fall over.
Once she managed to find a dollar worth of change, she went over to the coffee machine, and bought herself an espresso. She waited for the machine to pour it, and leaned against it, closing her eyes.
She was so concerned for Delaney, things like this never happened around her. How could she be here one minute, and just be gone the next? It didn't seem like it was possible!
The machine beeped loudly, and Nina stood up straight, taking it cautiously. She took a sip, and smiled to herself. She loved coffee so much, and it always woke her up. It's what she needed right now, a boost.
Nina noticed a TV not far from her, so she walked over, plopping onto the couch. This police station wasn't too shabby. She continued to drink her espresso and watch was on the TV, until Lilia walked back over.
Lilia poked Nina's shoulder, and Nina turned her head, grinning at Lilia.
"You ready to go, Lil?" Nina asked her, the coffee already giving her the energy she needed. Lilia nodded once, smiling back at her big sister. She looked up to Nina, she wanted to be just like her when she grew up. She was smart, beautiful, and silly. That's everything Lilia wanted to be.
Nina got off the couch, and took her sister's hand, stepping over to the open door, and walking outside. It was completely silent, other than the quiet chirping of crickets. Lilia giggled, and Nina led her to her car.
For her sixteenth birthday, Gran had gotten Nina a red Jeep, something she always dreamed of having. She always told Gran how amazing it would be to own such a car, how free you would feel. So Gran saved her money up, and got it for her. She had been so surprised that July morning.
She missed living with Gran, but she didn't regret moving out. Gran was becoming older, and Lilia was too much for her to handle. And Nina was growing up as well, she needed to start living her life.
Lilia let go of Nina's hand, and got into the backseat, buckling herself afterwards. Nina did the same in the driver's seat.
"Ready?" Nina asked, looking at her sister through the mirror. Lilia nodded, and Nina began driving towards her house.
"Hey Nina?" Lilia asked, as Nina drove.
"Yes?"
"For Delaney, why don't you hire Fabian Rutter? He is famous for things like disappearances." Lilia said. She had read about him in the newspaper, she thought he was amazing. He was Nina's age, and doing his job better than a forty-year old!
"The police got it, I'm sure Delaney will be found soon." Nina responded. She didn't even know who this 'Fabian Rutter' was.
Not too bad of a chapter, a bit of a filler, telling you the situation, and the bond with Lilia. I just love that name, I randomly thought of it! I didn't even know it was a name xD Any who, hope you enjoyed, next update should be Monday, if I decide on that plan!
