LIGHTED FEELINGS

Chapter Twenty-One

THIRD PERSON P. O. V

The longer it took for Adam to reach Faye's family house the more fear set into the pit of his stomach.
His office had been about twenty minutes away normally without traffic and with the free way but Adam had made it a mere thirteen minutes.

His heart dropped when he saw that not even the police had been there yet. He had called them fifteen minutes ago they should be here.

Adam was dreading what could be going on inside since the police hadn't been there to assess the situation yet.
They should be here.
Adam thought to himself as he stepped out of his truck making his way around the house looking through the windows.

But he hadn't seen anyone still.
Before he knew it he was already listen to the ringer of who he could assume was Faye's phone echoing throught out the house as he stood at the back door calling her phone.

Fuck it I'm going in. Adam couldn't stand waiting for the police and quickly took the key from under the flower put and unlocking the back door.

He saw Faye's phone ringing on the kitchen island as soon as he had entered and again the sense of dread he was feeling had risen even more.

In just taking a few steps towards the island a puddle of red came into view and Adam couldn't draw his eyes away.

"Faye!" He rushes around the island but what came into view for some reason sent him glimmer of relief. For a second the dread he has been feeling eased off but it quickly came back when realization hit him. He still e known if Faye was okay.

"Faye where are you!" Adam yelled out but got no answer. Well he did seconds later when a groan sounded from William who laid sprawled out on the ground with blood seeping out of him coming from what appeared to be his chest.

"Jesus, You're alive" Adam breathed out as he kneeled examining William as his eyes started to open.

"Faye" William breathe red out his voice barely above a whisper but Adam had still heard him.
"Where is she? William what Happened to her?" Adam rushed out in his panicked state.

Will hasd let out a loud cough catching buds breath before whispering again,
"Nhylaa... shot me. You need to find... Faye she's in danger..."

Adam felt like his heart was going to beat his chest and he had been so caught up with this he had the even heard the sirens getting closer and closer flashing their red and blue lights.

But he snapped out of it when Will started coughing up blood.

"I'm going to go get you help stay awake Will!" Adam ran out to the police and returned with them and the EMTs in a less than a minute and they had immediately got to work on William wasting no time.

"The house is clear" he heard an officer say to another.

"Sir, I have come to the understanding that you're the 911 caller?"
A woman came over with her pen pad in hand looking pointedly up at Adam.

"Yes that would be me."

"Alright, I'm detective Larson. And I have a couple of questions I need to ask you Mr-?"

"Samsol, my name is Adam Samsol. Listen, my girlfriend's pregnant and I think she's in danger. I think her sister took her and shot William. I don't know exactly what went on here but I do know that my girlfriend is missing! She said th-the code word. I knew something was wrong then so I called you guys-"
Adam became more and more panicked as he spoke, the gravity of the situation setting in even more.
But ge was interrupted when another officer came over.

"Larson we found something." The officer spoke side eyeing Adam while the detective nodded to him before looking back up at Adam.

"Stay here, Mr. Samsol we aren't done talking." With that the detective was following the officer down the hall stopping in front a door way where a firearm sat on the floor near a small puddle of blood.
