Chapter 102-1

Vincent’s POV

I barely hear the thrum of the engine as Reid and I pull up to Emma) house.

My mind races, spinning faster than the wheels beneath us. Sofia should have been here by now, safe with Emma. But she isn’t. And no one knows where the hell she is either!

Reid follows me out close behind me, Isis face a reflection of the same growing dread we both feel. There were currently endless possibilities of where she could be most of which made me feel sick.

But I also knew that she had moved from place to place before whenever she had felt threatened by her father… and I feared that this was the same… had she run off again to a new town?!

We reach the door, and Emma flings it open before I can even knock having been watching for us by the window,

Her expression is panicked, a mixture

1, a mixture of worry and confusion swirling in her wide eyes.

“Reid, Vincent,” she breathes, stepping aside to let us in, I don’t know what’s going on. She said she was coming here, but still nothing…

“We will find her.” I say firmly, knowing that I would stop at nothing to get her back.

Emma nods, biting her lip as she leads us both inside. My muscles she from the tension, and I can’t stop replaying the dinner over

Emma shakes her head, wringing her hands nervously together. “Nothing. She picked up my call before you drove me home and I offered for her to stay the night and she agreed and said she would facet me here.”

I inhale sharply, trying to keep a lid on the anger bubbling beneath the surface. “Let me see your messages with her.”

Emma’s eyes widen at the demand, and she begins to open and close her mouth. “Vincent… that’s Sofia’s personal chat with me: I don’t want to betray her privacy like that-

Emma flinches but reaches for her phone, her hesitation clear. “Okay… okay. Her hands shake as she unlocks her phone and pulls up the conversation, I snatch it from her, my eyes scanning through the messages.

“Chill out bro!” Reid warns, stepping in to bottle my tone with his gul, as I all but grumble at his involvement.

My eyes scan over the messages from tonight, mostly all of which had been sent from Emma with no response from Sofia.

There’s nothing unusual. No clues. No hints of where she could have gone.

“She last read your texts just after ten.” I comment, seeing it displays ‘read‘ under the text from Emina at 10:05pm before the rest

My pulse rices as I toss the phone back to Emma, pacing across the joom. “That doesn’t make any sense. She shouldve been here by now if this is where she was truly headed. So where the hell is she? She could be anywhere by now!”

“Her phone stopped ringing at ten forty too, started sending me straight to voicemail. Either it’s dead or its twitched off, I think she has her charger though, it wasn’t upstairs in her room where it was before dinner…” Emma tells us everything she can think to share, as I rub my chin aggressively in thought.

“Right, if she has her charger then her phone won’t be switched off ever. Keep trying to call her I deadpan towards Emma, who looks alarmed but does as I say attempting again for it only to go straight to voicemail.

What if something bad has happened to her…

If she left town on a bus, don’t they have charging ports? Or maybe she just wants time alone to think and that’s why she switched off?

She might turn up any minute now, but it’s getting later and laten

Chapter 102-2

Reid shoots me a sharp look. “You should have answered that.”

| “No,” I snap, tossing my phone down on the couch. I don’t need his hit right now. Half of this is his fault!”

He might know something, maybe he’s even found her? Reid argues, his voice steady. “We can’t afford to ignore anyone. Let me call him back, explain what’s going on.” He reaches for his own phone, already dialing before I can respond.

I rub my hands over my face, trying to focus as I sit down for a moment. Reid’s right. As much as I hate it, we need to cover all our bases. Every minute that passes without knowing where Sofia is feels like a knife twisting in my gut.

It was too late at night for her to be wondering around or travelling somewhere on her own! I don’t care how many times she’s done this before either… that doesn’t make it right:

Reid steps aside, the phone pressed up to his ear as he waits for Daryl to pick up. Emma watches him, her face pale and drawn. I can tell she’s scared, but I can’t afford to comfort her right now. All I can think about is Sofia, alone somewhere- potentially in

danger.

I can hear

“We still don’t know where she is. She was supposed to go to Emma’s but she never showed, that’s all we know…” Reid says into the phone, his voice calm but urgent. He pauses, listening. “No, she hasn’t called anyone else. Have you heard from her at all?

Even the question irritates me, why would she call him of all people after what he done?!

fists clenching. If he knows something and hasn’t said anything… I’ll kill him.

Reid’s face tightens, and he glances at me. “He says he hasn’t heard from her either, but he’s going to keep trying to drive around. Is there anywhere you can think for him to look? Reid tests, as I breathe steadily.
