Missing Persons
Ch. One: The disappearance
"Where's your sister, Val?" asked Mrs. Linear to her daughter as she walked in the door. "Does she have work to do at the station?"
"No, she left about an hour before I did. I think she said she was going home. Why?" she said as she placed her backpack on the table.
"She should be home by now." Elizabeth Linear said thoughtfully.
"Maybe she stopped at Nick's or Amanda's?" Val said getting her cheerleading outfit on. "She'll proubley be home soon. I've got to go to practice." she replied kissing her Mom on the cheek and heading out the door.
"Ok bye honey." she said.

Val felt exhausted after the two hour practice. All she felt like doing was getting into a shower and then going to sleep. Just as she was about to turn the key to the car her phone rang in her purse.
"Val?" her mother said franticly. "Brooke's still not home where could she be?" Val looked at her watch. 7:45 it read. Her sister would never be out this late.
"Did you call all her friends?"she asked.
"Yeah Amanda, Nick, everyone she's not there." Elizabeth replied.
"What about the arcade? Or the station maybe she went back. I'll call Alex." She quickly dialed Alex Freedman's number.
"Val?" he asked as he picked up the phone. Alex had been finishing up a few things at the station and was just about to leave.
"Is Brooke there?"
"No why? Isn't she with you?"
"No we haven't heard from her since 4." Val replied starting to get really worried. It wasn't like Brooke to go somewhere without telling someone first.
"Maybe you should call the police." Alex said finally after a few moments. Val thought about it for a moment. No, Brooke was fine she just lost track of time.
"Thanks, bye Alex."
"Bye, Val. Call me when you find her."

Hours later, Brooke still hadn't come home. Val was both angry and extremely worried. If Brooke walked in the door at that very moment she wouldn't know weather to hug her or strangle her.
"Val, Tyler's on the phone." called her father, Frank Linear.
"Ok." she replied.
"Don't stay to long we're waiting to hear from Brooke." he said handing her the phone.
"I won't." she said to her Dad. "Hey, Tyler."
"Did she come home yet?"
"No. We're waiting for her to call. Mom's out looking. I can't say on long."
"Did you call the others?" he asked.
"Yeah they haven't seen her either. Jamie and Caitie are out looking for her too."
"What time is it?" Tyler said.
"9:30."
"It's pretty dark out....." he mumbled.
"What are you saying, Tyler?"
"You really need to call the police."
She didn't answer. If they call the police, then it would seem so real... as if Brooke was really gone. Where was she? she thought.

That's it for the first part. Please tell me what you guys think.
