Chapter 0243
Deacon is on the phone, presumably calling in for some help.
“My phone, I need my phone,” I tell Axe, pushing out of his arms to find my bag.
I could call Archie, she might have said something to him, and he might know if she was planning to leave. I search through my bag, but my phone is gone.
“Axel, call my phone, I think she has it.”
Axe runs off to get his phone, returning with it pressed to his ear.
“It’s off,” He shakes his head.
“Damn it, Harper!” I shout, so angry at her, but so scared too.

I hear shouting from outside and know it’s Mason and Theo arguing. I don’t have the mental capacity to deal with them right now, so I ignore it. Theo can handle Mason just fine without me.
“I need to track down a kid from her school. She might have contacted him. She called him from my phone the other day. She thinks he’s her bond, so if she told anyone where she is going, it would be him,” I say.
“What’s his name?” Axel asks.
“Archie, he’s just turned 17, that’s all I know.”
Axel nods and then taps the screen of his phone a few times before bringing it to his ear with a scowl.
“Bonnie, it’s Axel. I need your help,” he says when a groggy female voice answers.
I should have known he would call his sister. He doesn’t talk to her often, avoiding her whenever we have to visit the junior school because she tries to convince him to repair the relationship with his parents, but for Harper, he will speak to her. Of course, he will.
“Axe, do you know what time it is?” She groans.
“No, and I don’t really care right now. Harper is missing, and we need to contact a boy from her class. He’s called Archie, and he’s just turned 17,” he says.
“Archibald Price. I’ll need some time to pull up his file,” she says, her tone suddenly alert now she knows the seriousness of the situation.
“Thanks, text it to me as soon as you have it.”
“I will. Is there anything else I can do to help? Mum and our dads will help too if I ask,” she says.
“No. I don’t want them involved. Besides, we are in the human realm. Just get me Archie’s contact details please, he sighs before ending the call.
“I’ve got teams preparing to come out. They will search the immediate area and the water park,” Deacon says, ” I’m going to visit the police station and see what they can find out about this Dillon Metcalfe boy.”
“Do you think that’s where she went? To find the boy?” Axe asks.
“That’s the only thing I can think of, but you should contact your mother and Freya in case she turns up there,‘ Deacon says to me and I nod.
“There’s nothing in her room to suggest anything,” Luke says as he runs down the stairs.

“Luke, can you take me to the water park? I know there is team headed there, but I want to check for myself,” I ask.
“Of course,” he nods.
“I’ll come too,” Axe says.
“I’m coming,” Mason says, appearing behind me.
“I guess I’ll stay here and watch the kids and wait to see if she comes back then,” Theo mutters, pushing past Mason.
“Yeah, you do that,” Mace snaps.
I call my mum and Freya and ask them to stay home in case she turns up there and then Deacon goes to speak with the police whilst Mason, Luke, Axel and I go to the water park and Theo stays home with the boys. It takes so much effort to hold myself together when all I want to do is scream and cry, but that isn’t going to help me find my daughter.
