Sara's P.O.V.

I ran I didn’t look back, I couldn’t see anything apart from large trees, it was cold, and my stomach growled because of all the hunger. My heart pounded I was getting tired, my feet were weak, and I couldn’t run anymore. I was about to stop when I noticed a ray of sunlight there was a road, it wasn’t far.

I limped towards the road, it was quiet, and I didn’t see any single person. I raised my hand waving to stop any car that comes. I couldn’t speak, my throat was dry, I tried shouting for help but I couldn’t.

I couldn’t breathe properly, I was losing hope when I saw a car, I raised my hand trying to stop the car but all went in vain, I decided to go further before he sees me. I limped further trying to find a house or cottage or someone that can help me.

I walked for hours but couldn’t find anything or anyone, Everywhere looked the same, trees all around.

I stayed under a tree to take a rest when I noticed a house, it was far but I could see the roof, I was tired but I decided to walk further, the further I came the more I could see the house, it was close.

I walked for over 5 minutes to get to the house, The house is large, and it looks beautiful, I was about to approach the door when I felt some hard touching my head, I raised my hand to touch my hair, and someone hit me. Before I could figure out who it was I fainted.

Police Station.

Officer Emily's P.O.V.

She sat putting one leg on top of another, she wore a royal blue gown, it was so tight she looked so uninterested in everything that was going on, she held a cigarette in her hand, she slowly took the cigarette touching her lips, she looked like she was in her mid-forties, she was fair had pimples all over her face, she wore makeup it was too much.

Who dresses like this when her daughter is missing?

She seems a bit weird though.

I called her last week to inform her to meet me so we could talk about her daughter, She made excuses of being busy but yet she still had to come today.

“Let me cut it short, Did you kidnap your daughter, or Did you do it yourself? Or you got someone to do it for you”.

Any officer would ask her that question if she keeps dressing like this and gives giving this stupid attitude.

She gave me a cold glare after she adjusted her sitting position.

“I don’t understand what you mean officer, I have been worried about my angel for days and now that you can’t find her you are blaming Emma”.

That's why you are dressed fancy. My inner voice

“Your action doesn’t say the same Mrs. Knight”. I was pretending to be tough, well don’t blame me I'm just 22 years. I try and pretend am tough to scare the criminals.

“What do you mean?, What are you trying to say?”.

“Your daughter has been missing for days and you are all dressed up and Mr. Knight can’t even come to the police station because he is busy” She looked quiet, I was hitting the spot “ and Mrs. Knight you tell me what kind of mother will you be when I have to force you to come to talk about your daughter and Mrs. Knight based on this pictures, you seemed happy last night,” I said taking out some pictures from the drawer. “it clearly shows you are okay with your angel missing”.

She looked at me with bitterness. “It still doesn’t prove anything and are you spying on me I could get you fired for that and Are you trying to accuse me of kidnapping my daughter, come on officer don’t be stupid " She shouted.

“Don’t raise your voice, you are at the police station, not your house?” I said trying to sound serious. “and we are not spying on you”. And based on our reports there was a complaint on the 3rd of January last year, a girl named Alice reported an abuse case, it says here you abuse your daughter Sara and then after her report, she was no longer seen again” I said pointing at the report.

She kept quiet for a while, it seemed like forever until she spoke.

“Since you have carried out research, you must be aware the girl is mentally unstable and I feel sick I will like to take your leave, and please you better solve this case and stop pinning blames ”

Lie.

She quickly stood up, adjusting her dress.

“I look forward to meeting you again,” I said taking my hand out for her to shake. She turned her heels and left.

Last night she went to a party at a club, last few days I appointed informers to keep tabs on her, it is like she doesn’t care about her daughter and Mr. Knight keeps pressuring the police to find his daughter, I have reassured him three times that we will try our best and find her.

It is a weird family, the mother seems like she doesn’t care about her daughter, she goes to parties and enjoys herself while the father seems like he can’t live without his daughter, I need to find out how their relationship is with Sara.

I quickly pressed the intercom.

“ officer Lewis,” I said softly.

“yes, ma'am”.

“get me information about this Knight family and arrange a meeting with Alice, every little piece of information is important”.

“Yes, ma'am”.

“And focus mostly on Mrs. Knight, I want to know everything about her, and everything she does, follow her steps and be her shadow.”

“Ok ma'am, I will get the informers to start working”.

I am sure Alice sure knows something about Sara's family, she is the missing puzzle to solve this kidnapping issue.
