Little Secrets

Chapter Thirty-nine

  Veronica's POV

"What do you mean it might be just to kids fucking running away? Lilac's not like that. She doesn't just up and disappear for almost 3 days with out so much as a text message. Shit she doesn't even leave her phone behind. She too fucking attached. And how the hell is she supposed to run away if she didn't take her car or drakes?" I yell at the officer who's is acting like a fucking moron. Arden places his hand on my shoulder in order to calm me down.

  "Well ma'am Teens do this all the time we can file a missing persons report but that about it." He said

  "That it you can't go looking for her or anything. What kind of cop are you? She's been missing fro 3 fucking days. Put a fucking party together and search for her. At this point she could be anywhere and your sitting on your donut eating ass telling me you can't do shit. Bitch you can and you will if it's the last thing I do on this god forsaken earth. The girl is my family and I swear if anything happens to her I will come for your badge you piece of shit." I said moving from his desk. And walking out the door with Arden behind me.

"Veronica!" He yelled catching up to my pace but j keep moving to my car. He grabs my wrist pulling me to stop. I spin around and look at him.

"You good?" He asked a I roll my eyes.

"Yeah I'm fine knowing my sister is fucking kidnapped and the cops are fucking useless." He wraps his arms around me pulling me close to his body.

"Arden I need her to be okay. She all I got in the world. She my only family. I just need her to be okay. I need her to be alive." I whisper in to his chest as I wrap my arms around his torso. When we pull away I meet his eyes to see tears welling in them.

"In sorry. I know it wasn't just me who misses her."I said offering a sad smile. Looking behind Arden I see Liam, Raylee and Conner walking out of the police station.

"I'm gonna make some call in hope that I can find them. I know a few people who owe me favors." Liam said pulling out his phone to make calls as he walks to his car. He was really going through it he just found her and now she's gone. Drake and lilac missing was really taking it toll on everyone. Emotions had ran wild and it had only been three days. I was so worried. God I pay they are okay.

"Ard you want me to take you home?" I ask and he shook his head.

"Can I come home with y'all?" He asked and I nod my head walking to my car and hopping it. Once I take off some the road I ask Arden a question that he has asked me a thousand times over the past three days.

"Are you okay? I feel like no ones asked you that." I said glancing toward him.

"She's my sister and I didn't know my whole life. 17 years I had a sister and didn't know and then. I found out and it was like that bond was created between us only for er to disappear. Granted I didn't know about her. But I met her and it was that instant comforting connection. And now she gone and i don't know if she's coming back. I don't know where she is. I don't know anything and I'm falling apart." He laughed humorously. As he looked back out the window and the car got skeletons for a second

"Lilac had that affect on people. Despite everything she's been through she still manages to bring the light out of people. She still manages to smile and make you feel comfortable. Despite all odds Lilac always come out on top. She alway finds away to make others happy. Her Presence just lights up a room despite the darkness that hovers over her. She makes her own light. And that's a gift that very few possess." I said think of all the times lilac has brightened my mood even after we got beaten and abused she still manages to bring a smile to mine and every one else's.

Pulling up to the house I hop out and walk inside I head straight to my room passing lilac's. I pause and open her door. Looking inside I see her unmade bed along with clothes scattered across the room hers and who I assume is drakes. Standing in the middle of the room I look around and I try to play detective. She if her and drake were here when they were taken from the house then how'd they get in with out the code? Without a key? With out setting off the alarm? What happened? Looking around there were so many unanswered questions. Looking around I see a phone. Lifting it up i push the button and it's dead. I plug it in to a charger and wait while I look around for more. I see Arden walk in from the corner of my eye.

"What are you doing in here?" He asked lifting an eyebrow.

"Playing detective since the real cops won't do their fucking jobs." I said irritatedly.

"You want help?" He asked and I nod.

"See if you can fine another phone. So we can get a feel of what happened up to the point they were taken." I said and suddenly I feel like I'm in an episode of criminal minds. Looking around her room I open a drawer with a vibrating dildo, a small vibrator, some ropes, hand cuffs, lube and a blindfold. I knew she was a kindly little slut. I said laughing to myself.

"What?" Arden said.

"Oh trust me brother you don't wanna know. I said closing the drawer. Looking throughout the room I don't find anything. Until my eye catches something out the corner of my eyes. I stop and move towards it when I stop abruptly. Spotting a small camera in the corner of her room on a picture frame. My eyes widen she was being watched.

"I found her phone." Arden said. I pick up a picture frame next to hit and looking at the picture. If they were watching Lilac they might be watching the rest of us. Walking to Arden I show home the picture before turning my back to the camera and mouthing. "Where being watched. Camera." He doesn't respond she just looks down at the picture.

"Wow you guys were so small." Was all he said.

Me and Arden the grab the phones and leave the room. I wonder if there is cameras all through out the house. I though to myself. There could be cameras anywhere and everywhere no where is safe anymore.
