-next day-
                                    (Y/n's pov)

I haven't heard from Vance all day, he isn't like that. I thought to myself while grabbing the phone. Dialing his house phone, I wait for someone to answer, "this is the hopper house" I hear from the other end, clearly his dad because his mom was out of the picture. "Hi Mr.hopper, have you seen Vance? I haven't heard from him since yesterday afternoon" I reply kind of anxious. "No, I haven't heard from him sorry".
*CLINK*
I hear from the other end, damn it. I start to feel a lump in my throat and tears well in my eyes.
A kidnapper called The Grabber has taken 2 kids. One of the kidnappings took a toll on Vance,

he was friends with Billy Showalter. I had known Griffen Stagg because Finney and I would talk to him about comics at the comic store, but we weren't close. The thing that had me worried was, that they were still missing.

I put the phone back on the Receiver and walk towards the door, I'll walk to Vance's and look around, maybe look at the grab-n-go after.

                         -Vance's house-
I don't think his father would let me in, I'm pretty sure he hates me or something, so I guess investigating outside was the only choice. I slowly walk around the chain-link fence they had. I look down to see small spots of blood, what the fuck. I felt unsteady. I sit myself down on the curb to think, is that blood his? Maybe in just anxious but I don't know. I need to go to the police, they will be able to do something. I thought getting up to start at the police station.

                          -police station-
I walk in and get a chill, fuck it's cold, I think while walking up to the desk "hello miss" I say.
"Hello, there darlin' how may I help you?" She replies having a thick country accent. "Hi, Uhm. I would like to report my ... friend. missing." I mumble. Her eyes go wide, "o-oh ok sure sweetie, I'll need you to talk to an officer about that" the lady says standing up and walking me to an office room.

"Here hun, sit down I'll go run and get an officer," the lady says walking off, leaving me in the room.
I stare at the ground thinking, is this missing person going to be different from the other two? "Hello there miss, can we get a name from you?". I jump out of my thoughts, startled. "Oh-I-hello I'm y/n l/n," I say stammering. "Hello miss.l/n,
Let's talk about this missing person, what's their name?" the officer questions. "His name is Vance hopper, I haven't heard anything from him since yesterday, no one has," I say adjusting myself in the seat. He looks at me. "alright we will have a look at it. but if I'm being fair, he probably ran away he's such a trouble maker" he says. I glare at him " maybe he is but he wouldn't just run away without telling his friends" I say standing up. "Thank you for having me" I mumble while walking out of the police office.
