Chapter 14
Lindsey’s Mom had been giddy for the past couple of days. Trey told her it was nothing, stress from the new restaurant there was nothing to worry about. Lindsey semi-bought her story. Margaret approached Lindsey twice with something to say then suddenly remembered she had to unload the laundry or bake the cake she’d been meaning to.
Lindsey hadn’t spoken to Serge since she was caught sneaking back in. It sucked because she missed him. His sexy glasses, dazzling eyes and most especially their rides home from school. Riding home with Clem and his recent girlfriend was a mini terror show. Betty was terrifying. How did Clem pick them? She threatened to cut off Clement’s toes more than once since Lindsey had met her. She kept a tooth and nail collection. Lindsey didn’t want to know where they came from. Clem was stuck with this one. Lindsey stuffed her text books in her locker then turned to the courtyard where she’d wait for Jordan to return with their lunch.

Lindsey shouldn’t have been doing it, her stuffy nose and puffy cheeks confirmed it. At two in the morning before the sun was awake and she couldn’t sleep, Lindsey pulled out her laptop and logged in to her F******k. She hadn’t done that in years. She searched Leah’s profile. The realization that there really was someone out there who had her face only continued to pull her in like quick sand. Knowing she’d lived a good part of her life without someone so close to her soul was baffling for her. She couldn’t help wonder what their lives would have been like. They would have annoyed the crap out of each other and made their parent run mad while they were at it.Pictures of Leah fishing with her Dad filled the screen. Acne faced Leah and Jordan appeared on the screen next. Lindsey remembered her own horrid acne years. She watched Lindsey’s life over the last few photos.‘It’s good to know you had a nice life.’ She sniffled.Lindsey logged in to I*******m.

‘What the hell are you doing?’ A man jumped out of his car. Lindsey was bent over clutching her knees. The man looked at where she’d jumped out of then back at the panting girl. ‘Hey, was someone chasing you kid?’ He slammed his door shut then walked towards her. Lindsey managed to straighten herself and control her breathing. That was too close. Leah didn’t make a single move to try to escape. ‘Yeah, he tried to grab me. I have to call the police he has my sister.’ ‘Your sister?’ The man with brown bushy hair fished out his phone and rapidly dialed for help Clem burst onto the street with his girlfriend by his side. They scanned the area for Lindsey before spotting her across the road. Doors opened and people came out of their homes to find out what was going on. Surely, the man in front of Lindsey wasn’t the only one who called the police. From the other end of the road Lindsey noticed Serge jogging up the street. ‘The police

It was the second day of the search and still they didn’t find a shoe to bring them hope. Margaret wondered how a forest could be so big and so consuming.Clem promised not to leave the house until they got home. Trey wanted to get Margaret how of the house and do some work at the restaurant. It seemed to relax her a bit, though he could still tell her mind was wandering.The tiny bell Trey installed on top of the door dangled alerting them both of someone’s arrival.“Quite a fancy place you have here,” the soft voice said.Margaret’s recognition of the voice nearly froze her to the spot.“I’m sorry we’re not open for a couple more weeks.” Trey said.The short blonde woman smiled, looking around the place. “Oh, I can see that.”“Tr

After Margaret broke the news they piled into the car and drove to the scene. Lindsey noticed her mother shaking and her father’s muscles tense. They replaced all the wiring as far as Lindsey knew. They didn’t have any information what could have started the fire or how bad the damage was. When they arrived at the building the fire department was there along with the police. The police were taking statements. The building was as black as coal. Everything in it was gone. The new windows, the new tiles all their hard work gone in flames. ‘Oh no,’ Margaret sobbed. ‘This is messed up,’ Clem said. ‘How could this happen?’ Lindsey muttered. Detective Montgomery approached the family along with the chief of the fire department. He introduced Chief Carson to the Goodman’s. ‘Detective why are you here, wasn’t this an accident?’ Trey asked The detective and chief shared a glance. ‘This wasn’t an accident.’ Luther said. Ma

Maybe it wasn’t an hour later when Lindsey got home, but Clem wasn’t there to ask questions. She was the one determined to ask questions that morning at breakfast. She wanted to know who her parents believed caused the fire and what they were going to do. All their savings went into that place. ‘So, mom, are you going to ask Lindsey when she’s bringing her new boyfriend over for dinner?’ Lindsey dropped her fork. She should have known Clement Goodman would have other ideas. ‘Boyfriend?’ Trey asked, with a mouth full of eggs. ‘Don’t listen to Clem.’ Lindsey mumbled, her cheeks turning bright red. ‘What boyfriend? Is it that boy up the road?’ Trey looked between his children. Lindsey shut her eyes. As well as going to see Leah’s old friends today she and to come up with ways to get her brother back. ‘Well, when are you bringing him over?’ Margaret asked. Clem frowned and Trey gawked at her. ‘You didn’t just say th

It was easier to tell a stranger the things that plagued you at night. You didn’t know how they would react. They might not judge you the way your friend would. Lindsey had found the perfect stranger. Now to find a guy called Dylan in Hollow Cove.‘I don’t think Jordan will want to speak to us for a while.’ Serge said when they were both in the car.‘She’ll come around when it all sinks in.’‘Are you going to the police.’‘I kind of want to check it out myself first.’Serge ran a hand down his face. ‘You’re not going to investigate a missing person’s case Lindsey.

‘Do you think we should tell Jordan and Gloria about the plan?’ Ruby asked, when the car stopped in front of Lindsey’s house. Jordan wouldn’t be happy she went behind her back. Still she deserved to know. She would want to be in on the operation as well. ‘I’ll tell Jordan. She’ll be pissed, but I know she’ll want in.’ Ruby nodded, ‘You’re right. Will you keep me posted?’ ‘Of course. Thanks for your help.’ Ruby smiled. ‘I hope she’s okay.’ Lindsey hopped out of the car and watched as Ruby drove off. The sun shined on her face as it slowly said goodbye. Hollow Cove woods which had been abandoned by the police and rescue workers beckoned her. It was as if now that everyone was gone it was ready to reveal its secrets. Instead, Lindsey looked ahead to the house slowly filling up with people and driveway with cars. Her parents white truck was parked at home. ‘They’ve started early.’ Lindsey murmured. Orange blended in

It was four in the morning in the morning, but Lindsey walked into her closet and dialed Dylan’s number. ‘What do you mean Leah was there?’ It sounded like Dylan crumbled a piece of paper against the speaker. ‘I saw her I tried to speak to her. She freaked out.’ ‘What did she look like? What happened after?’ ‘She… looked awful. She’s definitely under the influence of something. She took what Dean had a ran off. I heard a car drive off, but I didn’t see it.’ ‘Someone’s aiding her! It could be the guy who tried to grab me in the woods.’ Dylan exhaled on the other end. ‘Lindsey, I think we should go to the police.’ She nodded. Lindsey clenched the front of her shirt. It was the right thing to do. They had a chance to bring Leah home even if Lindsey wasn’t sure where home was. ‘What about your brother?’ ‘Dean… he’s got to get his shit together. I don’t know, but I can’t keep quiet anymore.’ ‘
