CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

As Kyle rode around the maze of streets inside Megan’s subdivision, he suddenly felt his chest tighten. He slammed on the brakes, his tires skidding on the freshly paved street. He couldn’t breathe. He started to sweat. His throat was dry.

He hopped off his bike and paced around in circles for a few seconds, trying his best to calm down. He could hear his heartbeat pounding in his ears. He felt dizzy.

Kyle closed his eyes, inhaled, then exhaled slowly. He was scared. Scared for Daniel. Terrified of where he might be. Or of whom he might be with.

Kyle ran through his options. He could go home, wait for Daniel to get back on his own and find out later what happened. There was no way he could do that. If he were out there somewhere, he knew Daniel wouldn’t just stay home waiting for him.

He could tell Daniel’s mom and his parents what was going on. But he wasn’t really sure what was going on. And what if they called the police? Would the police believe him that Daniel was missing, or would they just think Daniel was doing this to get attention. Kyle knew that Daniel would never try and get anyone’s attention by faking his own disappearance. Daniel was too good a guy to do that.

The third option was to keep searching. His parents thought he was over at Daniel’s; Daniel’s mom thought he and Daniel were over at Kyle’s. He had bought himself time to keep looking, but how much time? Was Daniel still in the area? Was he still out in the field?

Kyle sat back down on his bike seat and coasted for a while, allowing the bike to slow on its own. Was there anyone else that Daniel knew around here? Anyone he would have no problem visiting unannounced? Kyle couldn’t think of anyone.

He was on his own.

He thought back over the places he had checked in the field and knew there was one place he hadn’t gone yet. Daniel and Kyle had ridden their bikes down the street next to the construction site only a few times. The damaged road was littered with potholes, crumbling asphalt, and trash. It was a dumpsite for old couched, fridges, washing machines, and mattresses. It was definitely not a place you wanted to go after dark.

Would Daniel have gone down there for some reason to search for him during their game of hide-and-seek? There was only one way to find out. Kyle turned around, found the main road out of Megan’s subdivision, and headed toward the one place he didn’t even like to visit during the day.
