Dark Desires II Gabriel & Linda's story

Chapter 1

"G abriel, Gabriel, can you hear me? Answer me now, god damnit!" Tyler screamed into the phone, but there was no answer forthcoming. All he had heard is a screeching sound, a crash, and then silence.

Tyler hung up the phone and began to dial Tiffany because he did not know Linda's. In his mind, he told himself not to panic and think the worst. Tyler kept reassuring himself that Gabriel was fine, and nothing was wrong.

While he was punching in the numbers, the other people in the house came tearing into the kitchen upon hearing his shouting.

"What is going on?" Bellomy's voice sounded panicked.

"What happened?" Vivica asked next.

Tyler did not answer either of their questions because just at that moment, Tiffany picked up the phone. "Hey, Tyler, what is going on?" Her cheerful voice came across the line. Tyler took a deep calming breath in to try to steady his nerves, so he would not snap at her in his frantic state.

"Tiffany, I need Linda's phone number." After a moment, he thought he should ask a little nicer. "Please."

"Um, sure. Is everything okay? You kind of sound on edge." He could hear the worry in her voice and knew he must be failing miserably in keeping it together if someone did not even have to see him, too, know he was not alright.

"I just need to know if Gabriel is with her." Tyler knew he was speaking through gritted teeth, but he just could not help himself at this point. Every fiber of his being was telling him Gabriel is not all right, though he did not want to believe it yet.

"Oh, I can answer that. He is not. Linda and Gabriel just got into a huge fight, and he stormed out. Linda just called." She did not get to finish her sentence because, all of a sudden, Tyler began to swear profusely. Tyler spun around, coming face to face with his sister and her fiancée. He motioned to them to get a pen.

"Tyler, what is going on." Tiffany now asked in a voice edged with fear and panic. Tyler told her what he had heard when he called Gabriel and that she needed to call Linda to let her know what was happening. They would be searching every hospital between their house and his until they tracked him down.

Tyler watched as Vivica and Bellomy's faces grew pale and their eyes wide with worry. Neither spoke; instead, both went and grabbed their coats. They knew they could not use their abilities while entering a hospital full of people.

"I will take the hospital closest to here, and you guys get to the hospital closest to Linda's house. I will call Chris, and he can take the hospital close to Gabriel’s house just in case he was over in that direction. Whoever finds him first will inform the others. We cannot let this get out of the Nemiane communities." The couple nodded their understanding, everyone split up, heading to their assigned destination.

Tyler called Chris before he left and informed him of what he heard and what they were doing. Chris agreed to check the hospital immediately.

While everyone was racing around in each direction, Tiffany was psyching herself up to have to be the one to call Linda and let her know what was happing. It would not be easy. If she knew Linda, and she did. Linda would end up blaming herself for Gabriel getting into a car accident.

Tiffany let the phone ring for about a minute when there was no answer, and it did not go to voicemail; she knew Linda most likely would be on the other line. She probably is trying to call Gabriel. Hanging up, Tiffany tried to get her once more. Finally, Linda picked up.
