Allie looked around to make sure no one was watching her before she grabbed her backpack that was sitting next to the door, and walked out to the sidewalk, She looked around, put her backpack on, headed down the street and vanished.

Jack and Vivian drove up to a three-story house; police cars were everywhere. "Nice neighborhood," Jack muttered.

Samantha walked out of the house.

"Sam, what'd we got?" he asked.

Sam looked down at her paper in her hands. "Not much, Allie Parkins, fourteen years old, has an identical twin sister, both parents, and she hasn't been seen since last night..." she answered as she looked up "But we just got here," she added.

Jack nodded. "Anyone interview the parents? Or the sister?"

Sam nodded. "The police, but none of us,"

"You and Danny interview the sister..."

"Annie."

"Annie, and Vivian and I will interview the parents." Jack said. "What's Martin doing?"

"A background check on her computer," Sam answered.

"Okay," Jack said.

"Parents are in the living room," Sam said as she turned and walked away.

Jack nodded and headed left, hoping it would lead to the all-white living room, not a place for kids. "Mr. and Mrs. Parkins?" he asked as he walked over to a couple.

The woman nodded. "Yes, I'm Andrea, this is Jim," she said.

"Hello, I need to ask a few questions..." he said as he pulled out a notebook.

"Um, the police already asked us." Jim said uncertainly.

Jack nodded. "I know, but we have to ask too," he said. "Do you mind if I sit down?"

"Oh, yes, sorry." Andrea said. "Please, sit."

Jack sat down.

"Aren't you going to ask?" Jim asked after a minute.

"Yeah, I'm waiting-"

"Sorry Jack," Vivian said as she walked over and sat next to him.

"Ok, when was the last time you saw your daughter?" Jack asked.

"Dinner," Andrea said.

"What time was that?" Jack asked.

"About five, my husband and I had to go out."

Jack wrote it down. "When did you realize she was missing?" he asked.

"When she didn't come home from school, then we thought she just might have went over to a friends house without telling us, but we got a call saying she was never at school." Andrea answered.

"Did you call all her friends to make sure they didn't play hooky?" Jack asked.

"Yes," Jim said.

Vivian looked over at Jack, then back to the parents. "Is there any reason your daughter would ever run away?" she asked.

"No! Of course not, we give her anything she wants," Andrea said.

Except you, Vivian thought.

"Is there a chance your daughter could have run off with a boyfriend?" Jack asked.

"No, she wasn't interested in boys," Jim said.

"Come on, she is fourteen and she's not interested in boys?" Jack asked.

"No,"

"How often do you guys talk together?" Vivian asked.

Andrea stiffened. "We all have our own busy life," she said.

"So she didn't talk to you much?" Jack confirmed.

"She spent a lot of time in her room," Jim said. "She liked to be alone and read."

Jack nodded.

"Was she depressed?" Vivian asked.

"Allie? No!"

"Did she get along with her sister?" Jack asked.

"Yes, they were like best friends," Andrea replied with a smile.

Jack smiled.

"Any reason someone would kidnap her?" Jack asked.

"Oh my goodness! No!" Jim said. "No way."

"Was your daughters behavior changing?"

"No."

Jack nodded. "Thank you," he said as he stood up with Vivian right behind him.

Sam and Danny entered Annie's bedroom, Annie was lying on her bed facing the wall.

"Annie?" Sam asked.

Annie sat up and turned to her, she quickly wiped her tears away. "Yeah?" she asked.

"I'm Samantha Spade this is Danny, we're with the FBI, we need to ask you a few questions about your sister Allie,"

Annie nodded. "Ok-kay," she said.

"Ok," Sam said as she sat down in a beanbag chair.

Danny remained standing. "Annie, what was your sister like?"

"Was?" she asked nervously.

"Is," Danny corrected.

"She was quiet, but fun," Annie replied. "We laughed a lot, she always thought she wasn't as pretty as A- me, but we're identical,"

Sam nodded. "Did she have any secrets?" She asked.

Annie shook her head. "We told each other everything."

"Was she popular?" Sam asked.

Annie shook her head again. "Not at all, I was, but Allie... she didn't like to be popular,"

"Did guys like her?"

"Oh yeah, they liked her all right, just because she is beautiful," Annie said. "She hated it."

"Did she get along with your parents?" Danny asked.

"What teen now a days gets along with their parents?" Annie asked. "No, she didn't, neither of us did, they're never home."

"Any reason she would run away?"

"Why do you think she ran away?" Annie asked.

"I didn't say I thought she was," Danny said.

Annie looked down. "There's a lot of reason she would run away, but not enough."

"Do you know anyone who hates her?" Sam asked.

Annie shook her head. "No one would hate her, she's a nice girl."

"Has your sister acted differently lately?" Sam asked.

Annie shook her head. "No."

Sam nodded. "Thank you."

"Will you find her?" Annie asked.

"We'll do our best," Sam said as she followed Danny out of the room. "She knows something."

"I know," he said. "We just have to figure out why she is hiding it,"

Sam walked into Allie's room and spotted Martin unplugging the cords to Annie's computer. "Find anything?"

Martin looked over at her. "No, but I'm taking it home," he said.

Sam nodded.

"What about you? Find anything?"

"Not much," she answered, she looked over at Allie's bed, no signs of a struggle.

"Police think it was a runaway," Danny said as he walked into the room.

"Did her parents ever abuse her?" Sam asked.

"No, not according to them, or anyone I asked." Danny said.

Vivian and Jack walked into the room.

"Not what I thought a teenaged girl's room would look like," Vivian said as she looked around the white walls, everything was in place, not a piece of clothing lay on the ground.

21 hours missing...

Sam put up a picture of a fourteen year old girl, she had black curly hair that came down to her shoulders, a shy smile, that showed her perfect white teeth, her blue eyes brought out her pale face.

"Allie Parkins, age fourteen, not sure when she went missing," Sam said.

"Did we find anything?" Martin asked as he walked into the room.

"Not much," Sam muttered.

"Found something on the computer," he said as he held up a piece of paper. "It's an email, 'dear you-know-who', I'm going to do it, just thought you should know'." Martin read.

"Who is it to?" Jack asked.

"We don't know, the email address doesn't give a name, they created it from the library," Martin said.

"When?" Sam asked.

"Two weeks ago," Martin answered. "But, they have no surveillance camera, and the person written down for the computer is 'Jane Doe'." He said.

"And the librarian accepted it?" Jack asked.

Martin shrugged.

"Sam, Martin go talk to the librarian, see if she can remember anything," Jack said. "Danny, go talk to some of her friends,"

"You got it," he said as he walked away.

"Viv, let's go talk to her teachers."

----

"You expect me to remember someone from two weeks ago?" The old librarian asked.

"It would really help miss," Martin said.

The lady shook her head. "No, wait, um… it was a girl… about fourteen, fifteen." she said.

"What did she look like?"

"I wouldn't know, she was wearing a hooded jacket." The lady answered.

"Thank you," Sam said. "If you remember anything at all, please call me,"

She nodded and went back to work.

----

"So she hadn't been acting differently lately?" Danny asked again.

Allie's friend 'Megan' shook her head. "No, not at all!"

"Nothing?" he asked.

"No," she answered. "I'm sorry,"

"Thank you anyways," he said as he walked away.

----

"Allie's missing?"

"Yes," Jack answered.

"Oh my god!" Mrs. White, her English teacher said.

"Had she been acting strange lately?"

"No, but her sister had, she was getting awfully quiet, and she was usually a talkative kid, but no, nothing was different about Allie,"

Jack exchanged glances with Sam. "Did either of them have any problems at home that you know of?"

Mrs. White shook her head. "No, they always seemed… well, I couldn't say happy, but they seemed content."

"Do you have any idea why Allie started to grow quiet?" Sam asked.

"No, but it almost bothered me… I tried to find out what the matter was, a few days ago…"

Mrs. White walked over to the twins, besides them, the classroom was empty. Mrs. White sat down at a desk in front of them and took off her glasses. "Is something wrong?" she asked kindly.

Allie and Annie shook their heads. "No, nothing's wrong."

Mrs. White sighed. "You used to be my best student Allie, but now you seem to not even try anymore."

Allie looked down. "I'm sorry, been really busy…"

"What's bothering you?" Mrs. White asked.

"Nothing!" Annie shouted, she looked up at her. "Nothing is wrong with either of us, can we go now?"

Mrs. White nodded. "Just remember, I'm here if you need me…"

They nodded and quickly left the room.

"It was strange, because Annie never talks in my class, only when she has to, I've never seen her get that way…"

Jack nodded. "Thank you," he said, he turned to Sam and they headed out the door. "Is it just me or does it sound like they switched places that day?"

Sam nodded. "I got that impression too…"
