Disappearance
"Yucky fly." Jasmine said as she frustratingly shooed the fly from her face.
All the kids and Nick and Jackie sat at an ice cream shop enjoying an ice cream cone.
"Is that fly bugging you kiddo?" Nick asked.
"Yeah." Jasmine said sounding very irritated.
"It's bugging me too Jazz." Jackie told her as she too shooed the fly away.
"I'll be right back." Nick said.
He left the ice cream shop and went to Jackie's van and grabbed the magazine that Jackie had just bought at the store. He waited for the fly to land and then he squashed it.
"Got him." Nick said triumphantly.
"Gross Nicky, that's my new magazine." Jackie complained.
He tore the back cover off it, the part where he had killed the fly and grinned at her. She still just made a grossed out face. He laughed and got up and threw the back cover away.
"Good dob dada fly gone." Jasmine said.
"Thank you Jasmine, I'm glad someone appreciates my efforts." He said as he looked at Jackie with a smile.
She just laughed.
After they had finished their ice cream the family headed home to unload the groceries they had bought that afternoon.
An hour or so later Karlie let out a wail, it was her dinner time and she was letting everyone know about it. Jackie went to make her a bottle.
"Oh no, we forgot to buy baby formula, I knew there was something we forgot." Jackie said.
They were completely out of formula, Karlie would have to wait awhile for dinner.
"I'll go get some really quick." Nick told her as he grabbed his truck keys.
"You better take my van, your truck doesn't have much gas in it and Karlie is hungry, she probably won't appreciate you taking the time to fill your truck now." Jackie told him.
"Ok." Nick laughed as he went back into the kitchen and grabbed the van keys.
An hour later Nick still wasn't back, and Karlie was screaming at the top of her little lungs, all three of the other kids plugged their ears, trying to shield themselves from the racket that their baby sister was making.
"Come on Nicky, what is taking you so long?" Jackie mumbled as she tried in vain to soothe the fussy infant.
An hour and a half after Nick had left he still wasn't home. Jackie was beginning to get worried. She called his number but got his voicemail.
"Nicky it's me, I'm getting worried, call me as soon as you get this please." Jackie said in her voicemail.
After two and a half hours had passed and Nick still hadn't come home or called Jackie was getting frantic. She couldn't go look for him herself because Nick's truck wasn't big enough to fit all the kids. She thought about calling her parents so they would come and watch the kids while she went and looked for them, or just have her parents go look for him but Jackie decided to call Catherine instead. After all, Catherine did have experience dealing with these situations. She dialed Catherine's number.
"Catherine this is Jackie, listen Nick went out to buy baby formula almost three hours ago and he still hasn't come home, or called me, the baby is screaming and has been since he left, he knew the baby was hungry, he wouldn't just doddle around, I'm getting really worried, could you go to the grocery store by our house and see if you see my van please?"
"Sure Jackie, no problem." She assured her friend.
When Catherine got to the grocery store she drove around the parking lot.
Her heart sank, Jackie's van was in the parking lot, the driver's side door was open, a can of baby formula was on the cement right next to the van, and there was no sign of Nick….
