Silver Lining! Chapter Eight Na Gardaí

Clare still wasn't back. It had been five hours since she'd run. Ten o clock at night! She was a beautiful sixteen year old girl, did she not realize how many weirdoes were out there?
My phone started to ring. It was Sawyer.
"Please tell me she's back."
He sounded desperate. Sawyer never sounded desperate.
"She's not here."
He was silent for a long time. Finally I heard him sigh.
"Meet me at the garda station."
Then he hung up. We were going to the gardaí? Sawyer must of been really worried.

While I was driving to the garda station I thought about everything Clare had been through. I'd hurt her. Badly. I hadn't meant to but I had. I pulled up outside the station. I could see Sawyer's car parked out the front and parked next to him. Dammit! Where was she?

"They'll find her."
Michelle was chanting to herself. She had been for the past two hours. The gardaí had called her and Mark when I'd told them my teenage sister was missing. This was like a nightmare come true. After everything else that had happened........... Alex had explained what had happened, I didn't blame him. It wasn't his fault. It was that girl Adele? It was her fault.
"It'll be okay baby."
I looked up at Selene, She placed her hand over mine.
"I sure hope so Love."
She put her head on my shoulder and was silent. We had just been sitting there for about twenty minutes when my phone rang. I looked at the caller ID. When I saw who it was I answered it as quick as I could.
"Clare!"
