Lisa Hazelton's arm was caught in some roots as she was under a grey Chevy Malibu; her right leg was caught on the other side of the car. The pressure on her leg felt like it was completely cut off from circulation- which didn't help with the fact that it was freezing outside.
She shivered for a moment, struggling to get her arm free of the roots. She froze when she heard something coming toward her. A moment later, she saw that it was a white wolf. Her breath caught in her throat when it stopped in fron of the car and started to sniff her.

Lilly Rush was staring at her television screen blankly as she flipped through the channels. Lieutenant Stillman had told her to take a few days off, and that he was going to personally organize the search for her Foster Daughter.
She looked at the thermometer by the window, which read 19 degress F. Lilly hoped for her sake that Lisa wasn't caught up in that. She sighed and put in a home movie that Lisa had made.
Not long after turning it on, there was a knock on the door. "It's open," she called, instinctively placing a hand on the unregistered gun that her ex, Eddie Saccado had given her, which was under a pillow next to her on the couch.
She heard the door open and someone's heavy shoes walk through before closing the door behind them. "You shouldn't leave your door open like that," her partner, Scotty Valens, scolded slightly teasingly. "Never know who might be on the other side."
Lilly released the gun and turned toward him. "I left it open in case Lisa came home." Although, she knew that Lisa wasn't coming home tonight. They both did.
"I sort of figured that," Scotty replied. He studied her for a moment, noticing the dark circles under her eyes. She obviously hadn't slept much- if she had slept at all. "Are you okay?"
Lilly nodded slowly. "Fine."
You always say that, Scotty thought as he picked up the bag of food and brought it to her. "Brought you something to eat," he said, sitting on the couch next to her, and unwrapping the Philly Cheese Steak he had brought her.
She offered him a small smile. "Thanks, Scotty," she said gratefully taking the cheese steak. He unwrapped his own and took a bite out of it.
"So, what's this you're watching?" he asked.
"Lisa made this last week when we were in the park. It's my family on a picnic." There was a scene with Lilly on the swings as she watched Ellie Rush. The camera turned to Paul Cooper and his family. She sighed.
Scotty placed a comforting arm around her. "We'll find her, Lil," he said reassuringly. "You of all people should know that she's a survivor."
"I know," she said. "I'm just scared. I think I know who took her, and I'm scared at what could be happening."
Scotty brought her close. "It'll be alright, Lil," he said softly. "Boss is grabbing some search dogs in the morning, and they're going to be checking any isolated place they can look. We also put out an APB on Cliff, and there were tire tracks from where we think she was taken. It looks like he took her toward one of the parks."
"Let's just hope that the trail doesn't go cold."
