Andy’s P.O.V
I sat there mesmerised at what I had just heard and whose mouth it had just come out of. I didn't think Taya had that much rage. I mean she’s such a small girl and for something that explosive to come from her, I mean I was in shock.
“You killed your own son?” I asked hastily with the most disgusted look on my face.
“It was a long time ago.” The man behind the glass stated.
“Long time or not; you fucked up her life, and now I’m going to clean up all the shit you made. So that the girl I love can be happy with her life. I was so wrong about this and you know what she’s right, I hope you have fun in here asshole.” I jumped out of my seat causing the seat to fly back and tip over.
“You are a very nice man, so kind to my daughter. She is very lucky to have you Andrew.” God, did this guy not get the fact! I was leaving, and I was pissed. I ran out of the room, passing the guards. Then I stopped and turned around.
“She ran outside.” They stated at the same time. I gave them a look as to say ‘thanks’ and then kept running.
Reaching the outdoors; the rain was heavier then ever. Looking into my car, I couldn't see her. On the ground though, there was something coloured. It looked to be a jacket, probably Taya’s. I pulled my hood up and jogged over to my car. It was her jacket, but where was she?
“Taya!” I called out; no answer. I looked around again. Near the entrance gate, there sat her shoes.
“Oh Tay no.” I muttered and got in my car. I picked up her shoes on the way out and drove down the driveway.
“It’s all rock! She can’t have gotten far.” I muttered as I looked at the ground where footprints laid in the gravel/rocks. Then I looked to the side. There forest everywhere, on either side of me. Fuck. I picked up my phone and dialled her number.
‘Watch the world! (It’s a disaster!) Let it bleed! (Forever after!) As I lay you took my breath away-ay!’ Fuck me. She left her phone in the car. Time to call for backup.
“Yello!” Shaun’s voice bellowed.
“Shaun it’s me. Taya’s run off into the woods somewhere near the prison. I can't search all of I alone. Get the others and get your ass here. Speed, I don't give a fuck. We need to find her before she hurts herself.” I slammed the car door shut.
“Okay, okay! They’re here now and we’re on our way. She’ll be fine mate. She’s a smart girl.” He comforted me; I know he is right, but I’m still worried.
“I know, just hurry up and get here.” I hung up without saying goodbye and lent on the dirty hood of my car. Looking up I noticed letters.
‘Andy, I’m sorry.’ Then it had Taya’s name a bit further over. Tears rolled down my cheeks. I couldn't live with myself if she got hurt. The only reason we’re in this mess is because of me. So this is all pretty much my fault.
About half an hour later a car pulled up next to mine.
“Dude, are you okay!” Shaun yelled, the sound of slamming doors followed. He brought the girls as well. Thank god.
“I’m okay. Now, Bradie, Claire and Belle, you search that side. Shaun and me will take this side. Phones on at all times. Okay, lets go.” I yelled and we all ran off in our separate directions.
“Don't worry Andy, we’ll find her.” Shaun breathed as we ran as fast as we could.
We noticed a trail about a kilometre from where we parked the cars.
“We’ll go down there.” Shaun puffed as we stopped at the start of the trail for a breather.
“Look!” I shouted pointing to the mossy green coloured trail. Footprints. Yes.
“Footprints.” Shaun breathed moving over to them. “I’ll call Bradie.” He muttered and pulled out his phone.
“Bradie, we found a trail with footprints. We think its her. Wait what?” He paused. “You found a trail with footprints as well? What colour is it?” Muffled voices came through the speaker.
“Mossy green! That's the one we’re talking about. There might be a joining part. You stay there, we’ll run down and see if you are on about what we are on about.” Shaun hung up and shoved it back into his pocket.
“Ready?” He asked. I nodded and breathed in deeply.
A Shaun thought, the trail joined on to where Bradie was talking about.
“Hey guys.” Belle said joining Shaun who was sitting on a rock.
“Is this the first sign of her?” Bradie asked and I nodded breathing deeply. It felt like a knife was going through my chest every time I breathed in.
“Okay, well, the footprints end here. But there are four other joining paths. I’ll go down here, you four figure out who goes to the rest.” I muttered and ran off again.
An hour past and I finally reached the end of the path. It led me to a big park.
“Fuck me. Where are you?” I yelled and dropped to my knees.
“I’m a fucking idiot. Why’d I make her do this? She told me that it would be bad, and guess what, it is more than bad! It’s fucking disastrous! Like titanic disastrous!” I muttered to myself. I decided to see if anyone else had anything at all, so I pulled out my phone to call Bradie.
“Bradie! Found anything?” I asked with hope.
“Yeah uh, I found her.”

Bradie’s P.O.V
‘Spiderman! Spiderman! Does whatever a spider can! Spins a web any size, catches thieves just like flies! Look out, here comes the Spiderman!” Hiding my phone under my jacket I looked at the caller ID.
“Bradie! Found anything yet?” Andy asked hopefully. What he didn't know was that she was here, in my arms, unconscious.
“Yeah mate, I found her.” My arms quivered as I held her tiny body in my arms.
“Really! That's great! Where are you?” He asked with relief in his voice.
“I took the path next to yours. I’m alone so tell the others.” I hung up and threw the phone on the rocky floor. Good old brick Nokia never breaks. The run was a good hour so I’m guessing I have time to try and get her back.
“Tay, Taya wake up!” I cautiously shook her shoulders. I was trying to see how she became unconscious. Looking around I noticed that up a bit on the cliff, a piece of fabric sat there. It was a good 2 feet drop. I looked back down to Taya. Her t-shirt was the same colour as the fabric and had apiece tared off.
“Oh god Taya no.” She tried to climb the cliff to escape and must of fell back.
“Taya wake up!” I yelled lifting her so she seemed to be in a sitting position. I placed a hand on the back of her head. No blood was there but it was swollen. Examining her body some more, I discovered a couple of cuts and bruises. Nothing to serious but she will be sore for a while. Her lips were turning a slight shade of purple, fuck. I ripped off my jacket and wrapped it around her body. What the fuck was I going to do if she didn't wake up? Fuck my life.
