- It wasn't totally uncommon for foster children to run away from their homes. The most likely culprits were children who came into the system via abuse or neglect cases, orphans and the like, but sometimes the kids who had good lives would run too, it was just a matter of decision on their part. When her little brother went missing, his body still healing from the unknown attacks he had suffered, his mind nowhere near as stable as he would eventually become in his adult body, unable to control his temper, the search lasted barely a month before a mentally ill orphan was written off as either safe and sound or dead. Monroe wouldn't accept that. She couldn't. Upon hearing the decision, she began to concoct a plan that would not be put into action for the next two years - within that time, her brother had found a 'family' of sorts, but she didn't know that.
Monroe had wandered through several states and cities, crossing borders with ease, respecting her parents enough to call them whenever she had the chance. They didn't particularly agree with her obsession with finding her brother, even though they loved him too, but they had allowed her to roam the world in search of him. Her heart had broken when she woke up to find him gone, and she wouldn't be the same until they were reunited, neither of them would, and so, Monroe strode through the streets, knocking on doors and walking into bars, pubs, cafes to ask if her brother was in the area, or if anybody had seen him. Her next big destination was the city school, figuring that he had possibly enrolled himself. Macks had always wanted to be something of a scientist, and it made sense to her. First, she would try the local bar, wondering if her brother had managed to sneak himself in and drink illegally.
Monroe had two photos - one of her own, a 15 year old Macks, his eyes broken but a smile on his face, and one of 18 year old Macks that she had managed to acquire when she spotted him a year back. She was never able to find him after that, but her search continued. The blonde strode up to the bar, slammed two copies of the photos down, and addressed the nearest barman. "Here's my phone number," She was scribbling it down on the back of one of the photos. "He's my brother and he's been missing for four years. Please, if anyone has information, call me, text me, I'll owe you forever." She was standing next to Ashlynn and Vincent, but addressing an entirely different barman. "I have to keep looking for him - keep these, tack them up, thank you." And with that, she turned, her long hair flipping over her shoulders, and promptly strode out of the bar, shooting dirty looks in the direction of anybody who catcalled her.
