Josiah

Knock knock.

"What is it?" Charlie enters the office with a box in his hand, "There is a package for you."

"Since when do I receive packages?" He shrugs, "It's been checked, it's safe to open."

I open the box and pull out a bag of hair. My breath hitches when I recognize the texture, "Camille." Charlie says.

I pull out the card that came with the package and read it, "More to come! Your secret admirer XOXO."

I clench my jaw, "Get a finger print analysis on this card immediately!" Charlie quickly grabs the card and heads out of the room.

I log into the tracking device on Camille's phone, only to find it disconnected. I pick up my phone and call her house phone, "Hello?" A voice answers.

"Rosa where's Camille?"

"Is this Josiah? What do you want?"

"Where is Camille?" I ask again angrily. "She's out still, she went out with Tyler and he called to tell me she was gonna hang at his for the night. Why do you care?"

"Because someone just sent me a clump of her fucking hair. When did Tyler call you." I saw as I grab my coat and get into my car.

"Um, like around 9. And she left at like 3." I growl, "I'm on my way."

I hang up and speed down the highway toward Camille's apartment. I unlock the door with my key and both Rosa and Mitchie gasp. "How'd you get a key?"

"No time for that, give me your phone." I snatch Rosas phone from her hand and look through the call list for Tyler. I was about to walk out of the room when Mitchie stopped me, "Wait what's going on? Is Camille okay?"

"She will be just leave this to me, I'll keep you updated." I walk out of the door and back out to my car. I use Tyler's phone number to track his phone to find out where he is. I follow the directions to a large condo. I don't bother knocking on the door but instead bust it open. "Hey what the hell?" Tyler says looking up.

When he sees me he quickly reaches for his gun on the table but I shoot his arm. "Where the hell is Camille." I say waking over to him and grabbing him by his shirt collar.

"She went home."

I pull out my gun and press it to his head, "You're messing with me on the wrong day, now where is she!"

He smirks, "I left her at the pier, or maybe I pushed her into a lake, who knows?"

I glare at him before throwing him against the wall. "Where the hell is she?"

"She doesn't want you to save her Jo, she's tired of you. She told me herself." I click my gun and he chuckles, "You won't shoot me, I'm your only hope of finding her."

"You're right. But you're not telling me anything, which makes you pretty useless. So I'm gonna give till the count of three to talk otherwise I'm pulling the trigger."

Tyler shakes his head, "You're bluffing."

"One."

"You can't kill me."

"Two."

"She's already dead."

I stop my counting and stare at him, before pulling the trigger. All that can be heard is a loud boom and Tyler's scream. "I told you not to fuck with me."

"You shot my fucking dick!"

"And I have plenty of more bullets where that came from."

"I won't talk."

I shake my head, "You just did." I grab his phone and drop him to the ground.

"You're a waste of space you know that?" I say before pulling the trigger one more time. I call some people over to take care of the body before I get back into the car and drive away.

I looked through Tyler's messages which left me with only one idea for who has Camille. "Lancing." I say as I grip the steering wheel. I call some men for back up to meet me at Lancing's place.

"The fingerprint analysis was inconclusive." Charlie tells me over the phone.

"Inconclusive? As in no match?"

"Yeah I'll meet you at Lancing's though." I hang up the phone and groan.

When I arrive at Lancing's the place is empty, none of his men are there and neither is he. "They've abandoned it." One of my men say.

Everyone spreads out and begins looking around for clues of any sort. "Um boss you might want to come see this." I walk over to see a dartboard with Camille's face on it. I remove the darts and look at the picture. "This doesn't make any sense. I thought he wanted Camille."

Charlie shrugs, "The dude is a sick bastard, maybe this is his way of showing love?"

I frown, "Keep searching." We continue looking throughout the rooms for shy clue of where he could be keeping Camille.

"We've looked through everything sir." I frown, "Look harder."

"We have, there's nothing valuable for us here." I was just about to yell at him when Charlie pulls me aside, "I know you're worried, but there's nothing here we need to look elsewhere."

"Where else is there to look? Lancing is the only person I can think of that could have her."

"We won't stop, we just need to do some more looking into things." I nod in agreement with him and dismiss everyone. Charlie and I drive back down to my office. "We'll find her." He assures me.

"Don't tell me something you're not sure of."

"I am sure, we will find her." I frown at him, "And what gives you hope? For all we know she could already be dead in a ditch." I grip the steering wheel at the thought.

"Just don't think like that, we'll find her." I ignore his positive remarks and continue driving.

We arrive at the office and I immediately got to work on where Camille could be.

It seems as though I had worked all night, Charlie walks in with a coffee. "Morning boss." I frown before taking the coffee and continuing my work. "I've been up all night and I have nothing. Absolutely nothing!"

Charlie pats my shoulder and I glare at him, "What if I told you I got something?"

"Spit it out."

"When they were removing Tyler's body from his condo, I asked them to check his place for anything. And we got this." He holds up a piece of paper with an address. "We looked it up and it's not registered as anything, we should check it out."

I grab my phone and head out with Charlie following behind me.

When we arrive to the destination my men and I sneak in and bust the door down, only to find the place completely empty. "What the hell is this?" I exclaim. I look around, "Check everywhere."

The men spread out and check the place. "Maybe there's like a hidden door somewhere or something?" Charlie suggests. We look around and find nothing. "There's obviously something here keep looking!"

An hour goes by and no one finds anything. I rub my face in frustration, "Then where the hell is she?!"
