Chapter 2

I couldn't sleep that night and neither the next days. Countless thoughts and speculations went through my mind constantly. I couldn't help it.A week had passed and noone had sent a single message. Give a sign that they are still alive. Jake had attempted inumerable things on Hannah's phone, but with no avail. We were worried...

A WEEK AFTER

Taxi driver : ''Is this the place, miss? Duskwood?''Y/N : ''Yes. Thank you so much for the ride.''Taxi driver : ''It's 20 dollars.''Y/N : ''Here you go sir.''Taxi driver : ''Have a nice day!''Y/N : ''You too!''

I wasn't sure about this. Paying a short visit to Duskwood was my plan B. I hadn't really thought about it, I just hoped that someone might be able to give me information. Some friends of Jessy's or even Phil's would know something that I don't. Who knows?I got out of the car and took my bags from the trunk. ''Y/N Holmes is back in action.'' I said with a smirk

I was nervous. It's not only the fact that I have never been to Duskwood before, but also that I hadn't informed Jake about my little trip. He wouldn't approve.''It's too dangerous Y/N!''''What if something happens to you?'' ''You are the key!'' I said to myself in a sarcastic tone and laughed''Well, were you successful on what you did with Hannah's phone? No Jake. Unfortunately, you weren't.'' I murmured and continued walking

I was searching for the bar Aurora, and luckily it was easy to spot, because Jake had added its location on my map. (You did something useful. Thank you.) It is one of the few places that I am familliar with and it was a nice way to start my tour in Duskwood. What's better than a cocktail after a long hour drive?

It was unfortunate that I would not be able to have a conversation and a drink with the owner of the bar, Phil, who wanted to meet me so bad, but it was definitely worth a shot.''Aha! I found it.'' I said full of pride and opened the door

As I proceeded to enter the bar, my appearance caught the eye of many fellows. I could sense it. ''Hey look, Jim. A newcomer.''''She's got nice boobs.''Although that kind of things piss me off, I ignored their rude remarks as I didn't want to get in trouble.Y/N : ''An orange cocktail, please.'' Barman : ''Coming right away, my lady.''It wasn't Phil. It was a young handsome man with blond hair and green eyes instead. That could work.I took a deep breath and went for it.Y/N : ''May I ask you a question, sir?'' I said while he was pouring my drink in a glass.Barman : ''Oh please! Call me Eddy. Do I seem that old to be called like that?''I couldn't help but laugh at his response. You don't hear this often. Y/N : ''Oh no no. Forgive me.'' I said with a smileBarman : ''I am all ears. What is your question?''Y/N : ''I don't want to sound blunt, but someone called Phil was working here before you. Do you have any idea about what has happened to him?''His expression changed right away. Barman : ''I am not really sure what Phil got himself into. I am afraid I can't help you.'' Y/N : ''Come on now. How can you be working on a bar where you don't know who has been working here before you? Seems odd to me.''Barman : ''Fine. You got me.'' he said in defeat''As far as I know, he is in prison because the police suspects he is involved in a case of a missing girl.''Y/N : ''Hannah, isn't it?''Barman : ''That is correct. Wait wha.. How do you know about this? Or how do you know Phill in the first place? This is the first time I have seen you in Duskwood.'' he said full of curiosity Y/N : ''It's a long story. But if you pour me one more drink, I may be able to tell you.'' I said with a smirk
