Lots and lots of talking!

James' POV

I looked over at Dillion and he looked dumb-founded for whatever reason. I started walking toward the door, "Come on, Dillion!" I told him. We started walking down the hallway as several security guards rushed past us at a time. I hadn't realized how many guards we really had. "James?" Someone from behind me asked. I looked over my shoulder to find a young blonde woman with bright green eyes staring back at me. "What's going on? Rebecca said that you called for an emergency meeting and specifically asked for me."

"Well, I specifically called for you, mom and dad, and all staff and security we have-- but- t-that's irrelevant. I'll explain everything in a moment." Analiese looked both confused and concerned at the time, while Dillion just looked nervous and uncomfortable. He was constantly looking down as the floor as the sweat trickled down his temples. Told him to tell me what happened with detail. We entered the conference room, and my parents were off to the left of the small podium, whilst almost all everyone else was patiently waiting our arrival. Analiese went over next to mom and dad and Dillion followed me to the right of the podium. I could hear mom and Analiese whispering back and forth to each other.

"What's going on?" Mom whispered. Analiese replied with a shrug.

I took a deep breath and stood up onto the podium. Only when I was I front of everyone did I realize that everyone was staring at me, waiting for me to say something. "Um..." I froze. My eye was caught by Jeremy at the every back giving me a thumbs up with a warm smile. "Thank you all for showing up unexpectedly, but I've just been informed of an unexpected emergency. Not 5 minutes ago, Dillion--" I made a gesture towards him. And he raised his hand, looking out at the sea of staff and guards. "--came to me saying that little under an hour ago, Delancey, my cousin, close friend, and Petra The Warrior's daughter has gone missing. Her hospital bed was discovered empty, with window shards surrounding it's legs. Wether she was kidnapped or broke out herself due to her medication and/or because of her mental state is unconfirmed at this time. All staff are asked to spread the word, and all security are to take double initiative making sure that this place is safe. Any questions regarding your responsibilities will be answered by Jeremy Garmond. Thank you for your time." I said with a confident, firm voice. Everyone shuffled out of the room, and I stepped down from the podium.

"James!" Dad called out. Oh dear..."Delancey's gone missing?! What exactly happened?!" Mom exclaimed. Mom, Dad, and Analiese were all looking at me for answers with expectant eyes, but I can't meet their expectations, as much as I wish I could. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came from me, instead, Dillion blurted out--

"He doesn't know, he wasn't there when it happened. I was. I'm Delancey's--uh--best friend. I came to James because she talks a lot about how close she and him are. And I knew that he was the son of the Heros-in-resident, so I figured you could really help." Dillion explained. Mom let out a loud sigh as she shut her eyes tight and place a hand on her forehead. Analiese, who had remained silent up until this point, questioned Dillion, asking why Aunt Petra and Uncle Jess wouldn't tell us themselves. She said it with a very sassy tone and suspicious tone. "Hey, chill out, Analiese." Analiese was about to say something else but instead, Jeremy cut her off. Oh thank god. "James, how can I help?"

"Uh...the police. Have you and Rebecca contact the police." I responded, uneasily. He nodded and quickly left, sensing the tension in the room. Mom, Dad, and Analiese continued to ask question Dillion as I stood there awkwardly. A couple of minutes of this go by, before we were cut off by scream that echoed from outside. We all ran out to see what the problem was...

"Delancey...?" Dillion whispered in disbelief.

Okay, guys. I've made an important decision. Starting from next chapter, the story will be told in 3rd person. I know that a sudden change and I apologize for that, but I personally think that I write better that way. I don't think I did that well on this chapter unfortunately, my favorite part being James' announcement. Anyway, I hope you liked it despite it being kinda crappy. Tell me what you think!
