Chapter 440

My dad and Jake were on the couch watching the game eating Chinese food. I was fixing my plate checking my phone often to see if my gran had reached out. It was almost nine-thirty, and I still hadn’t heard from her.

“Babe come sit down”. Jake spoke.

I grabbed my bottle of water from earlier and took my plate into the living room. I wasn’t interested in the game playing on the tv so instead I scrolled through my phone whilst eating my dinner.

“Have you heard from your gran yet?”. My dad asked

“Nothing”. I shook my head. “I’m going to eat and then go back over there”. They have to come home at some point, right?

“I’m going to patrol with Carter and Rocco tonight. I could drop in when I leave?”. He asked

“Okay”. I smiled.

I would still go over and check myself. I wouldn’t sleep tonight if I didn’t,

“I’m sure everything is fine”. Jake spoke. “They’ve probably just lost track of time or got held up doing something”.

“Should I be worried?”. I chewed the inside of my cheek. “I haven’t heard from her since earlier today and her phone is off. Something doesn’t feel right”.

My dad got to his feet taking his plate to the kitchen.

“I’ll go over there just now. Why don’t you try calling her again?”. He suggested.

“Okay”. As I was about to tap on her number my phone started to vibrate in my hand. “I don’t recognise the number.

“Maybe George?”. Jake spoke.

Right, of course.

I answered straight away.

“Hello?”.

“Leah, it’s George”.
