Nick's POV
"Nick. Nick? Nick!" He finally glances up at Clay, who stops shaking his shoulder. Realizing it had been him who had said his name, he glances around at Lila and Kyia, who appear to be crying frantically into a phone. George and Clay are crouching next to him. Both of their eyes convey concern and urgency.
"Sorry, I'm sorry. I just- I just need a second," He pauses, and looks back at the two girls talking over the phone. "What are Kyia and Lila doing?"
"Calling the police.Even though it hasn't been 48 hours, we're hoping that Quackity openly told us he kidnapped Karl, they'll decide to invest," Clay says as George nods his head in agreement.
"Okay, yeah good Idea. I can- maybe he's where Quackity lives? Can we check there? I've been there like once, I could call again, for evidence if- if you need." Nick says trying to get his thoughts straight. He glances at his phone looking at the time, when he notices he has a text from Karl, showing the phone to the others he asks,
"Should I open it?" Clay and George glance at each other, then both nod, Nick moves his phone back to his face. Opening the message he types in his code and closes his eyes, scared to see what's on screen. He shoves the phone at Clay, or somewhere around Clay, Feeling Clay take it he opens his eyes. Looking at Clays face for a hint of what it could be. Clay's face is a mix of shock and horror, George leans over his eyes widening in shock, even more scared he shakes his head,
"Do- do I wanna see?" Nick asks, looking at Clay fear in his dark brown eyes, reminding George of the deer he had hit. Clay shakes his head,
"No, no you don't want to see." Nick lets out a pained gasp, tears springing to his eyes again. Clay leaves the app and turns the phone off handing it back to Nick. Once the phone is back in Nick's hand, Clay and George pull him into a hug. They finally pull apart when they see Kyia and Lila walking over,
"They can't do anything as of right now, but if you had a picture they possibly could." Lila states apologetically,
"We have a picture." Clay says, gesturing at the phone in Nicks hand,
"Oh, well we should go to the police department then." Kyia suggests, Lila nodding in agreement. George stands up staying beside Nick as Clay helps him up. Once they're up, Nick leans against Clay slightly for support, as Kyia, Lila and George lead them to the car. They all pile in Clay and George staying by Nick the entire time, even while worried about Karl and Nick, in the back of Clay's mind he's concerned for George and steals every chance he gets to glance at George. After about a 10 minute drive, they arrived at the station.
They walk in through the sliding glass doors, Nick leaning against Clay heavily. Nick hands Clay his phone, knowing that Clay knows his password and Nick didn't want to risk seeing the picture. Clay takes the phone from Nick, bringing him and the others to the front desk.
"Hey, we're here to report an abduction." Clay says taking charge, Kyia and Lila hang back knowing they were never that close to Karl.
"How long has it been since they've gone missing?" The police asked in a bored tone, Clay huffs at his demor,
"It's been a hour—"
"Then I can't help, come back after 48 hours." The police cuts him off,
"We have a picture of our friends tied up, and obviously not because he wants to be." Clay says his tone aggravated hugging Nick closer to him,
"Show me." Clay sighs in relief and unlocks the phone, opening the picture, shielding Nicks gaze he turns it to the officer.
"We'll have to take the phone in for evidence, and I'll file the paperwork now." Clay nods handing him the phone, Nick doesn't protest,
