The house was quiet… a little too quiet for my liking.

I had left work early with the intention of taking Hayley out for a little treat since it felt like with every thing going on lately, I barely got to properly be with her. Aside from dinner and a little TV time together each night, we rarely did claborate outings and it was time to change that.

With that in mind, I eagerly left the office after informing Lucy that I would not be in for the rest of the day. I thought of all the things that Hayley and I could do during the afternoon but I’m sure if I asked her she would already have ideas of her own. She was a fairly decisive child and I always loved that about her.

However, when I arrived to the house that finally began feeling like home, I found it too still and eerily quiet. It was only just after noon and it would be too early for Hayley to be taking a nap yet there was no sign of any movement or even life in the entire house except for my own breathing.

I could not hear footsteps, nor voices, nor any sound whatsoever to indicate that perhaps they were some where around the house. A wave of panic washed through me but I pushed it away since I did not want to jump to any conclusions.

My legs dragged me throughout the house to search for either Nancy or Hayley before I could reach any drastic conclusions but as I inspected the rooms followed by the outside garden to the pool side and even the kitchen, I couldn’t find either one of them.

“Nancy? Hayley? Are you guys home?” I called out but my own voice echoed through the house only to come back at me unresponded.

Nancy was not authorised to spontaneously take Hayley on day trips and if there was a need then I would be notified so this was all very unsettling. A thousand thoughts ran through my head and I didn’t know which one to believe and run with.

This has never ever happened before making it all look very suspicious.

I finally gave in to the panic that begged to be unleashed. My brain felt numb for a moment, paralyzed by all the things that I could and should do.
