Chapter one:
Carlos Pov: The car finally rumbled to a stop after hours of boring scenery we had finally arrived at bright falls it wasn't to hard to tell that you had arrived they had a sign that was as big as a bus that said welcome to Bright Falls Alexa told me we had to go meet a George Stucky Jr to get the keys to the place that we were staying at i thought great the sooner we get the keys and location of the place the better. I really didn't want to be around alot of people i was still grumpy from the ride and plus i really didn't want to be here at all but in spite of that i came here for Alexa thinking that it would make her happy. After stretching our legs and me mumbling some things under my breath we got back into the car it took a few turns of the key to start up the old 1967 Chevy impala you got to love a woman that has a classic a few more minutes of driving around we stopped at the oh deer diner Alexa said we needed to gas up and that George Stucky should be here. I got out of the car and my phone rang it was James hey man i said i am fine i answered James question and told him i would talk to him later and hung up told my wife that I loved her and headed into the diner.
Alexa's Pov: As i watched the love of my life get out of the car and go into the diner i started to think back to a few years ago when he wasn't always frustrated but that was when he was able to write which was before he found out that his cousin was missing and so was his cousin's wife since the day of the disappearance Carlos has not been able to write and i have dealt with the outbursts and the drinking but the one person that has taken and dealt with more of the outbursts is his editor and best friend James. Carlos and James have been best friends for years even before me and Carlos got together. Me and James have never been real good friends but we both love Carlos so we tolerate each other and I know we both have Carlos's best intention's in mind which is why i agreed with James when he called me and said that he thought it would be good if Carlos went on vacation.
James Pov: I know Carlos has had a hard time writing lately and that has got to be frustrating there has been nights when Carlos has called me and vented to me and i would say just take it easy man something will come to you but it never did and on top of that his cousin has been missing for a while now.I know me and Alexa don't see eye to eye but i understand what she is going through seeing someone you care about hurt and angry all the time and not knowing what to do is very frustrating alot of people think with me being Carlos's editor that all i care about is the money that his books generate but with me being his best friend his well being is first and foremost that is why i called Alexa up and told her that i thought it was a good idea that Carlos go on vacation and take some time away from the city so he could clear his head.
Carlos POV : As i walked into the diner my wife drove to go get gas the diner was like any diner you would find in a small town like Bright Falls and for a bit i had forgot that there were towns like this where everybody knows everybody hello welcome to the Oh Deer diner my name is Rose said the woman behind the counter of the diner hey my name is i know who you are Carlos I am a big fan said Rose. "I am a really big fan" I could have swore she was flirting with me there for a second but i pushed it to the back of my mind and i asked i am looking for a George Stucky do you know where he is?He should be in the bathroom just head to the back i started to head towards the bathroom the hallway leading to the bathroom was very dark as i started to walk into the dark hallway this old bag lady warned me not to go into the dark she told me that the dark was dangerous and that i should be careful i said ok i will make sure i do that in a sarcastic tone i never was superstitious and i never believed that there was anything that could get me in the dark.I walked into the dark hallway as i walked to the bathroom the hallway was so dark that i almost couldn't see my own hand in front of my face i finally reached the bathroom door i knocked on the door Stucky i called out and no answer.I turned around to walk back up the hallway when all of a sudden i came face to face with a man " Stucky couldn't be present unfortunately he has took ill"said the man but here are the keys and directions to my cabin i will be by later see you and your wife i i was heading back out of the hallway my phone rang it said unknown i answered the other end sounded like it was breaking hello i said "leave please leave bright falls before it is to late Carlos" who is this i asked "please leave" and then the phone hung up.I stood there looking at the phone for a few seconds that call was weird the voice sounded familiar but i didn't know where from.I walked out of the diner hallway Alexa was waiting for me in her car outside of the diner I headed out of the diner door got in the car gave Alexa the directions and then we headed to the cabin.
George Stucky's POV: Hey wait Pena misses Pena your keys you forgot your keys.
