"This story is written in 3rd person"

Matthew ran. He ran until he was tired. Matthew constantly looked at the paper, making sure he could find the correct address. He needed to find Lynn if he wanted to save his soulmate.

Walking around the streets of L.A., hastily looking at street signs, he found the street Lynn's house was on, Boyd.

He walked down the street looking for the house number. 87. Looking at the number, he double-checked the paper to make sure that this was the correct house. He walked up the steps to the porch. Knocking on the door, a red-headed girl answered.

"Matthew Patrick?! What the hell? Why are you here?" She asked surprised. "I'm looking for a 'Lynn'?" Matthew replied.

"They're here, one second." She answered. She walked to what Matt assumed was the kitchen. "Lynn, Someone wants to talk to you, I think you'll be surprised who it is." She laughed.

"Jazmine, you're scaring me," Lynn said, they walked to the door and practically leaped through the roof. "Matthew Patrick wants to talk to me? If only Alex were here right now. She would pass out." Lynn exclaimed.

"Okay, but for real. Why are you here, and how do you know about me?" Lynn asked. "Well, It's about Alex," Matthew replied. They froze. What the fuck happened to her?

"What do you mean? Did something happen?" They asked worriedly. "Can I come in? It's a long story, but we don't have a lot of time." He replied. Lynn nodded and stood to the side to let him in. they closed the door and led him to the couch.

"Well, I'll start from the beginning. I was at home working on a new theory in my recording closet. Stephanie was out with Skip at the vet for his checkup. Someone knocked on the door, so I got up and out of my closet and walked downstairs. I looked out the window and saw some guy. Tall, skinny, white, black hair and beard. I thought maybe he wanted to talk about something he was selling. I didn't think too much of it. I opened the door and he put a hand over my mouth and dragged me out of my house. I tried to struggle away but he was too strong. He tied me up and threw me in the back of a van. He drove around and stopped, started talking to someone, and opened the van door. Pain shot through my wrist before I could see who was at the door." Matthew started. "Your timer went off," Lynn said. Matthew nodded.

"When the pain stopped, I looked up. A girl with long blonde hair was there."

"Alex. You and Alex are soulmates," Lynn said in realization. Matthew nodded. "She demanded that I be unbounded and that she be taken instead. He agreed to her deal. Alex and I had a conversation, and she gave me your address and wrote down the man's license plate. I don't know what that man will do to her. I waited 6 years for my soulmate, and now that I've found her I'm not gonna give up now." Matthew said desperately. He gave the small piece of paper to Lynn.

"And she's my friend, I can't lose her. The first thing we need to do is take the license plate number to the police, they can track it and help us find her."
