Mark's POV
Jack started writing to me less and less and it was starting to worry me a lot. His sudden change in activity concerned not only me, but Felix and Cry too.
"He usually writes to you first. Now he barely writes at all...," Felix pointed out. I frowned and stared at my arm.
We had been trying to contact him for hours already and still hadn't gotten a reply. We don't even know if he acknowledged our messages. He hasn't written back in a week and I was beginning to think he won't...
*BING*
We jumped when we heard a message in Skype. I looked at it to see it was from Minx. Maybe she knows where Jack is.
Minx
Do you know where Jack is? He's been missing for a week now and we just found his phone all smashed up along with a pen. Has he contacted you?
I felt my heart stop. He's missing? That would explain why he hasn't been answering us.
Me
No I haven't heard from him. I only just got informed that he was missing. What happened?
I was hoping she could tell me what happened before Jack went missing since we weren't going to get anything from Jack.
Minx
He got into a fight with this popular chick at school and she got these guys to beat him up and he had a panic attack or something and when he calmed down he ran off. We thought he would come back sometime in the night but when he didn't we called the police and that's when they found his phone.
We've been asking everyone around if they've seen him but no one has. I was hoping you would know but obviously not...
Shit. He's missing. And probably injured too. I need to help him but how. He won't reply to my writing... CAN he even reply to them? Minx said they found a pen with his phone so does he even have one with him? I decided to message him anyway.
Jack? I know you're missing. Please, if you can reply, tell me you're okay. Please.
I know he probably won't reply but it was worth a shot. If it meant getting a message to him then it was enough. Even though I still felt uneasy.
"What's going on?" Felix asked, pulling me out of my thoughts. I looked at him with a sad expression.
"Jack's gone missing apparently. The police found his phone all smashed up along with a pen. Something must have happens to him...," I explained, quietening my voice for the last part.
"Do you think someone attacked him?" Cry asked quietly. I looked at him and frowned.
"Minx did say he got into a fight before he ran away... Maybe his attackers confronted him again?" I said the last part as a question because I was unsure myself.
"We just have to wait and see if Jack replies. We can't do anything from here since we're miles away," Felix pointed out. I nodded in agreement. I just hope Jack can last that long.
~time skip to three days later~
I felt horrible. I haven't slept since I found out Jack was missing. It has been three days since I found out he was missing, meaning he's been gone for ten days. I was beginning to think he wasn't going to be found...
*BING*
Once again my thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Skype. I had left it open in case Minx got any information. We talked back and forth everyday.
Minx
They found him
I felt my heart stop. They found Jack? Why hasn't he written to me?
Me
What? Did they find Jack? Is he okay? Where is he?
Minx
Mark, he's in a coma...
What? What happened? What put him in a coma?
Minx
The police found him five miles out of town, barely alive. He was pretty beaten up and really skinny. They put him in an induced coma so he wouldn't cause any damage to himself. You have a week to get your ass here.
I didn't waste any time after I finisher reading the message. I quickly booked a one way ticket to Ireland and played for it. I was leaving in two days.
"Where are you going Mark?" I spun around when I heard Felix's voice. He stood in the doorway looking at me as I continued packing my suitcase.
"They found Jack. He's in a bad condition and put into an induced coma... I need to go see him before its too late," I responded. Only looking at him once to see his reaction.
"He's alive!?" Felix almost shouted. I looked at him with slight sorrow.
"For now," I responded quietly. It was silent for a while before Felix broke it.
"I'm coming with you." I looked at him with surprise.
"You need to stay here with Cry, I'll jeep you informed with what's going on bu-" I tried to stop him but he interrupted me.
"No, Jack is pretty much my brother and I haven't seen him in over 2 and a half years. I'm going with you!" He said sternly.
I opened my mouth to object but realized it was probably best for both of us to come and nodded instead. His face lit up slightly and he jumped onto my computer to book himself a ticket.
"What ticket did you get?" He asked. I gave him the details and he managed to get the seat next to me. He left soon afterwards to go and pack. We were leaving late tomorrow afternoon since our flight was really early in the morning. I should get some rest before then.
I quickly finished packing and sent Minx the details of my flight so she knew when to pick me up. I put my suitcase next to my door and lay down in bed, even though it was only 7pm.
Soon I felt all the lack of sleep I've had overtaking my body and pulling me into sleep. My last thought before I fell into darkness, I'm coming Jack. Don't die on me...
Well then... We have a story to solve. I wonder what happened to Jack... Hmmmm ^-^
