(Nico’s so cute!!! Poor kid getting scared by a movie goddd I love him!)
Evan watched the smaller male carefully, his anxiety spiking already.
He never really did do anything like that. It looked fun but his anxiety always got the better of him.
“So… do you think it really was your sister…?”
(he's very pouty he deserves the world)
"No way! My sister died ages ago." he paused,
"She died with my mum, I went to the funeral."
(Yes he does! We love him)
“She couldn’t have… faked it or something?” He murmured carefully, not wanting to upset Nico. He bit his lip, tilting his head. “And where would your brother be? At that hotel I mentioned?”
"Probably, he doesn't know the area very well. Plus, you cant miss Milo, he's massive and will start barking if we're in a 100 mile radius of him."
He pushed the stairwell door open,
"As for the faking, that's just stupid. Why would she fake her own death, and if she did, would she be a missing person-" he stopped in the middle of the lobby and blink,
"Holy shit."
(Sorry for my absence. Went up into the mountains for a day)
“Good. Let’s check there first.” He smiled softly, looking around the lobby as they entered it. He nearly ran into Nico, but stopped himself just in time.
“What?”
Nico mumbled something under his breath and stared at his hands, moving his fingers like he was trying to count something.
His head shot back up and he screamed,
"THE ARTHUR INCIDENT!"
He jumped about a foot in the air at the outburst, his eyes going wide.
"Arthur….?" Evan asked, his face going a little pale as he tried to figure out what was happening. He felt so confused and out of the loop, but he kept near Nico, determined to help.
"W-when I was young- after the crash- I was obsessed with Arthur," he started to explain, now take large strides towards the lobby doors,
"I used to watch it with my mum. Once, in the middle of an episode, a big alarm went off and I started to cry. My sisters name ran across the top of the screen, along with a bunch of words I didn't know! My dad said it was a memorial or somethin', but-"
He turned to look Evan dead in the eyes,
"but I think it might'a been an Amber Alert."
( heres the vid btw, still the scariest shit I've ever seen.)
(Opened the link and immediately died XD XD Its TERRIFYING)
"Amber Alert…? You think it was for your sister? Could she have not died?" He pried, his curiosity suddenly spiking. "That's intense though… especially if it means what I think it could mean…" Evan ran his fingers through his hair and bit his lip. "So she was kidnapped…?"
Nico shook his head,
"Dunno, guess we'll find out, huh?"
“Guess we will.” Evan was more excited than he let on; this whole ordeal was like a mystery story to him, each new clue brought more and more excitement to his stomach.
Nico swung the car door open and slotted himself in the passenger seat,
"Well, hurry up then! Remember, every second counts!"
“Ah! Yes! Sorry!” He hurried into the drivers seat, turning the car on. He bit his lip and glanced over at Nico.
“Ready?”
"Yes! Drive!!"
“Okay okay!” Evan laughed softly before he pulled out of the parking lot and onto the street. He hummed as he drove, looking around every now and then.
It took only a few minutes to reach the motel he had spoken about. It was a simple building, easy to spot and quite comfortable looking.
Nico threw the door open before the car had a chance to stop, sprinting towards a set of stairs. He turned back to shout,
"He always stays in number 26!" before going up the stairs two at a time
“Whoa! Nico! Wait!” Evan tried to grab at Nico’s clothes as he jumped out before the car stopped, his eyes wide.
When the other shouted back at him he scrambled to stop his car and run up to the stairs, locking his precious car out of habit.
(Sorry for the wait! Had some stuffs for college to do!)
(That's okay lol.)
Nico's fist pounded on the door desperately. I only took about 20 seconds till Josh hauled himself of his ass to open it,
"Nicky-"
"We ned to talk; wheres your phone."
He let himself in and began to rummage around the small motel room.
Evan hurried in a little after Nico was let in, watching the other in confusion.
He felt a little out of place too. It was like he was intruding upon family business he really wasn’t supposed to even know about.
It made him shift awkwardly in the doorway, not daring to go any further into the apartment.
"Uh, come in, I guess…"
Josh turned back to gesture Evan in,
"Aha!"
Nico pulled a phone that looked straight out of 2005 from a pile of clothes. He started fiddling with the buttons aimlessly,
"Oi- how does this work??"
Evan rubbed at the back of his neck, nervously stepping in. “Am I intruding?” He asked quietly, watching Nico carefully.
Josh shook his head,
"Nah, don't worry 'bout it."
He snatched the phone from Nicos boney fingers, cursing him out,
"What's this about, anyway?"
"Eleanor."
Evan stepped inside, shutting the door and looking around the motel room.
He hadn’t seen the inside of the place seeing as he lived in his apartment with Nico.
His fell back on Josh and Nico, curiosity getting the better of him.
Josh hesitated,
"…What about her."
"Did she die?"
Josh choked, not sure how to respond.
Evan folded his arms and laid back against a wall, his eyes narrowing as he waited for an answer.
If she did die then they had someone impersonating her.
But if she didn’t…
That was a whole new set of problems.
"W-well-" Josh swallowed, composing himself,
"I dont know, kid. I wasn't there."
“Nico recalls an amber alert.” Evan spoke up, raising an eyebrow.
“If she was kidnapped it’d be better to tell Nico. If you know anything, tell him.”
