chapter 3
After arriving at work, I walking in and everyone is sit together at the bar "Hey any news?" I asked before sitting down, "Nope but them police ain't saying much" said Ren pointing to a group of cops talking to Sarah, "Terra let me get a shot" I said "so early Cher?" Ren said leaning against me nudging me with his shoulder "what wrong?" "I had a rough night." I said throwing back the shot when she placed in front of me "one more." I said before looking over at the group walking over to where we were.
" OK we wanna thank everyone for coming in today, I'm Detective Shire and this is my partner Detective Arte. We are looking for Charles Devonparte." said Detective Shire, who was on the pudgy side, balding head with a little bit of red hair, his partner was tall and his face was pale and sickly looking, he kept shifting his weigh from one foot to the other looking at us "Has anyone see or heard from him?" he said clicking his pen. "Well he was suppose to work yesterday but he didn't show." Sarah said looking at her tablet "he's been a no show for the last few days. I had to hire someone new." She said pointing to Sam.
"Has anyone else heard from him?" Det. Arte asked "Well Charles isn't to popular with the kitchen staff, sire." Ren said "He's a bit of an ass." "Ren!" Sarah said "Well it's true, but we tolerate him because he's your sister's boyfriend's little brother." Vicki said under her breathe "Isn't that how you got the job?" I whispered, taking a fry from Lisa's plate. "If everyone could stick around, we need to take everyone statements. " Det. Arte said talking to Sarah while looking down at his notepad. I sighed "Terra I need a mimosa." I said Owen walked in, taking off his jacket putting it on the empty bar stool, He smiled at me "Rough night?" He asked as Terra hand me my drink, "Yeah, kind of." I said wiping the peanuts shells off the counter, I placed my drink on a napkin in front of me.
Charles POV
Charles sped down the street, the back glass shattered from a spray of bullets; Charles twisted the wheel to the left barely making it around the corner a black sedan smashed into the right side of the jeep pushing him into others cars parked on the side of the street. He slammed on the brakes letting the other car shoot pass him. He smashed the gas pedal again ramming the other vehicle in the rear bummer pushing them forward. They rode their brakes when he was hit from behind slamming into the car in front of him.
Charles tried to open the driver door but it was stuck, seeing the passenger door jammed with the other car. Charles crawled into the back and tried to open the door, he was holding his ribs when he fell out of the back seat, to the ground landing on his side the air rushed out of him. He pushed himself up to see three men in suits standing in front of him with their guns aimed at him "Going somewhere Charles?" Jerry said walking over to him, kicking him in the face,his head snapped back into the car door. The gun flying out his hand.
"The boss wants you alive." Jerry said walking back to his car, two of his goons; Seth and Roger dragged Charles behind Jerry as he head towards the back of the car, popping the trunk "Wait, I did what he said. I'm good." Charles said groaning as blood leak down his face from his broken nose, "did you now?" Jerry said as Charles was tossed in the back.
"We'll have to wait and see." He said smiling then slammed the trunk shut.
What felt like two hours later, the trunk was opened, "Hey Charles. Have a nice ride?" Jerry said smiling as he was pulled out.

I got up and went to the bathroom and started my shower. Once I got in I let the hot water hit me while the call about Charles ran through my head. I don't even know what to say when I get there, or what to do. I wash and get out walking into my bedroom. That's when I noticed I had a message from an unknown number I ignored it. Once I was dress I tried to sneak down stairs to avoid my dad He wasn't home so I was lucky, I went out the front door only locking the bottom lock.
I began to walk to work when my phone ranged. Unknown call I ignored it and put my phone in my pocket. When I got to work all I see is detectives talking about.
