I don't believe it!

Andy isn't here yet. He's on his way back and when he gets here I know he'll want to thank you guys personally.
I couldn't comprehend what I was reading last night in the comments here. It wasn't until Anthony called me and confirmed it, and got Andy to say hello, that I let myself believe it was going to be ok. Even now I don't feel like it's going to sink in until Andy's back here and I can see him with my own eyes.
I can't tell you enough how grateful I am. You were amazing, absolute heroes, every one of you. And that Spearman guy - I can't believe what he did. Imagine risking yourself like that for a stranger. I hope he got away somehow, I really do.
I'm hoping life can get back to normal now. I know Andy will need some time to recuperate and we'll both be very paranoid for a while. Anthony thinks that as long as we don't go shouting this story to the rooftops we'll be ok - Lox will be too busy trying to chase him down to bother about small fry like us, and it's all Andy's word against his - if Andy could even identify him. I get the impression he was blindfolded or kept in darkness a lot of the time.
Thank you, everyone. Thank you so much.

Feeling sick

Waiting is hard, isn't it?

Thursday 12 November 2009

It's good to have some hope. Until you guys came along I thought we'd never save Andy. My sincere thanks go to you all whether we're successful or not. Many more people than I'd hoped for have come together for this, all I can ask is that you just do your best. Justice would be a nice bonus, but the main thing to think about is getting Andy safe. I just want him out of that Box.

Some of you weren't my friends at first. Until a couple of days ago you were following LO X of all people. I'd like to take an AXE to him personally, but apparently he can be persuasive, despite holding people in his Box facility. Everyone's needed now, though. I just hope this all works out.

A message from Spearman

Spearman contacted me. He says things are coming to a head in the next few days.
He wanted me to pass on that as of tomorrow, everyone's going to need to work as a team if we're going to get through this. Everyone has to play their part, or we all lose.
Please, please listen to him. I just want to help my friend.

Here we go again?

Andy got through to me again. I have a suspicion he has a phone hidden somewhere, but is only able to use it when nobody's watching him. There's not way he can have stolen a phone on three separate occasions.
I kept quiet, otehr than to tell him I was listening now and then. Each time he's called me, he's only been able to talk for a short time. I didn't want to waste any of that.

"Short time south, close to where... took... much smaller. Came south. More planes, overhead. Lot of traffic, close... one building... courtyard... keep looking."

Planes again.


Disappointed

I don't know what to say about the Box Blog entry. I can't believe he got that close. It's really crushing, you know?
I want you all to know I am standing by, waiting for Andy to call. I know he can do it. We can't give up.

A lead?

I'm sorry I've been quiet. I had a couple of scares and had to go and stay elsewhere for a few days. I've had an alarm system put in, so I feel safer now. I've also had some rest.
I had another call, it was definitely Andy this time. The line was bad. Untraceable, too. I've tried to take a kind of transcript:
Me: "Andy, is that you, where are you?"
Andy: Listen... not long... hear planes, engines... (illegible, too much static for about 5 seconds)... wasteland... main road in distance, white truck came... supplies. Stone... stone walls around... big... few trees

He cut off there. It's the most contact I've had from him. At least I know he is alive.

I've also been contacted by a guy who refused to give his name. He claimed to know something about what might have happened to Andy - he thinks he's been taken by some group in Marrakech. He said he's heading out there, and that he's been talking to you guys. He can't do any harm, I suppose, and it's good to have some hope.

Oxford

Realy sorry I've been so quiet. A lot of people said they had this idea Andy might be in Oxford, so I actually went there to take a look. I spoke to the local police, went to tourist spots that he might have been in, although if he went on holiday it's hardly a bit of an emergency, is it?
I found nothing. Nobody had seen him or anything. Thanks though, it was worth a shot.

I got home late last night and crashed out, was woken up by the phne. There was a voice, I might be imagining it, but it sounded a bit like Andy. I don't know. I'm so tired. All it said was "mirror mirror on the wall." It might have just been someone doing stupid phone calls. I don't know.

Wow, what a response!!!!!

Thanks so much for offering to help me. I was beginning to give up. I spent ages last night writing and deleting emails to this guy you found, I just didn't know what to say. I finally sent one this morning and got a response almost instantly. It was like he was waiting for me, I don't know what to think.


Post edit: someone spotted I signed my email with Andy's name. I can't change that now, but I guess it didn't matter.

I saw you signed your email to Mr. Spearman with "ANDY". How is that?

Ellis said...

So I did.
Look, you have to understand I've been up all ngiht. I haven't been sleeping much for a week, all I can think about is what's happening to Andy. He mgiht be hurt. I've heard nothing seince then. I call the police every day and they tell me to stop calling because there's no evidence. I'm so stressed. I was thinking of Andy when I wrote it.
I'll edit the post to say so though, thanks for spotting it.

Looking for Mr Spearman, SOMEONE HELP






I don't know what to do. Nobody I know will help. If I was a member of any forums or something I'd go there but I'm not. This is a cry for help. I need to find a MR SPEARMAN, if anyone can help, please tell me!
I have a friend, Andy, who's gone missing. I've known him for years. He's always been a bit of a nomad, even before I knew him. He was an army brat, so his family moved a lot, and as an adult he's taken off for months at a time and he always comes back with amazing stories for me. He hitches a lot, I knew that would go bad for him one day. He was staying at my place, and two days ago I got up and just found a note. I've attached the image above. He never just takes off like that, he always lets me know. That was bad enough. Early this morning I got a phonecall. The line was really bad and there was so much background noise - motorbikes, trucks, crowds of people - made me think of the Middle East. Andy was on the line, he said something like "Get me out of here, Are you there? Soulless, they're soulless.... don't talk... where I am.... get help!!! Contact Mr Spearman!" He said "Spearman" a few times. He also said something about a bad man, a bad man had him or something. I've remembered the best I could.
I went to the police, but when I showed them the note they said it was none of their business if a grown man goes on holiday and if he wasn't back in December, to come back. He doesn't have any family here, they died when he was 16. He doesn't have many friends, I'm all he has. He's my best friend, he's like a brother to me. Please help me!
