Summary
“Miller,” The radio crackled, shattering the otherwise peaceful night. “You there?”
Joel simmered in the quiet for one more moment before sighing and taking his radio from its rest. “Here,” He echoed in a grumble. “What’ve you got for me?”
“I’ve got a missing little girl, possibly seen about two blocks from you. Suspect’s mid fifties, possibly armed. He’s her math teacher. ” The voice over the radio drawled. Tess. Her low, weathered voice, similar to Joel’s, was easy to recognize. They were friends, maybe something more than that, which was why she knew that a call about a missing girl was going to be hard for him. “I know,” She sighed over the microphone. “But, I don’t have anyone else, and this girl’s been gone all day. Every second counts, you know that.”
“I know that,” Joel echoed in a low tone. He sighed, and then reached down and flicked on his siren. "Christ. Her teacher?"
“I know,” Tess echoed. “Just go get her.”
TLDR// Joel was a cop. After a long day of long calls, he was heading home, and then he got the call. It was just another call, just another kid. And then it wasn't. As soon as he saw Ellie, he knew that it wasn't, and he knew that she wasn't leaving his life anytime soon.
