This news surprised Mason but he didn't show it.He was good at masking his emotions.
"Quit playing games with me,Peyton.I am not in the mood!"He retorted,his voice sharp.
The stranger on the other side kept on bombarding Mason with questions."Sir,what's your relationship with the owner of the phone?We suspect that you're connected to a missing persons case."
His face darkened."For fucks'sake,Peyton!Quit acting like a needy child."
"Id appreciate it if you're cautious with your tone of voice as this isn't Miss Vaughn on the line,"the stranger added.
Mason was bewildered,"What?"
"Please come down to the station right away to make your statement.Thank you."
The caller hung up,leaving everyone shocked to their core.They were expecting a night of their lives,not the chaos that my existence brought them that night.
Mason and Harper were the least pleased with the call's interruption of their night.But duty demanded that Mason be at the police station immediately.

At the police station,he sat across from a young police officer who had my phone in his hand.
