Nathan watched Duke as they pulled up to the police department. The smuggler was tapping the door, visibly anxious.
"You already care for, don't you?" Nathan asked.
"She's like a second chance. I can't exactly take care of Jean, and I wish I could. If I don't find Hazel, I'll feel like I failed her." Duke's tapping increased in tempo.
"We'll find both of them." Nathan needed to find Audrey. Duke just looked at him with worry in his eyes.
Hazel came to in a dark room with her hands tied behind her. Audrey was next to her, still unconscious. Hazel pulled against the ropes with limited success. She flexed her feet and realized she was barefoot and her feet were tied too. The back of her head was throbbing as well. She sat there as Audrey slowly came to.
"How are we going to get out of here, Audrey?"
"I don't know." Audrey shook her head and looked at Hazel. "You've got a lot of blood on your neck, by the way."
"That explains the throbbing." Hazel wished she Duke would come through the door right that minute. "But they'll find us soon."
The radio crackled to life. It was a call about an extremely hairy man in someone's house. Nathan and Duke drove out to find a woman standing in a yard.
"Nathan Wuornos, Haven PD. What's wrong?"
"I went into my bedroom and found a man sleeping in my bed. It looked like he didn't even know what a razor was."
"Alright ma'am, me and my... partner will check it out."
Nathan and Duke entered the house, guns up. They found the man staring into the mirror in shock.
"Sir?" Nathan inched forward.
"I wasn't like this earlier. What happened?" The man turned. "I'm John Watson. My wife's screech woke me up."
"I don't know what happened. What did you do last night?"
"Went out with a few friends. Can you help solve this?"
"That's what we want to do, sir." Nathan and Duke walked off, both occupied with thoughts of Audrey and Hazel.
Sorry for not updating in forever. I couldn't find a good place to stop. Oh, and if you ever want longer chapters let me know. And Silent Night is in the works as well, that one is just a bit difficult.
