"Hello?" the voice answered on the other end of the phone. "Hi Helen, it's Margaret; Audrina's mother… Is she over there with Claudia? I don't know if she told you but she was supposed to be home three hours ago. I was starting to get worried."

"No, she isn't," Helen replied warily. "I sent her home with Claudia and she didn't come home either…" I'm really worried. I was just about to call you actually."

"Okay, well I should go then. One of us should call the police. And while I'm doing that maybe you could call around at some of their friends houses?"

"Sure. I'll talk to you later, Margaret… I just hope we find them." Helen hung up the phone and let out a deep sigh. "Oh Claudia… why wont you just come home on time?"

"Knock, knock, knock…" Margaret made her way to the door to see two worried looking policemen staring back at her.

"Mrs.Welsche, right…? We made some phone calls and found out that Audrina and Claudia aren't the only teenagers their age missing… Andy Gilbert, Rebecca Cunnington and Robert Brown are also gone." The fatter of the two looked down and twiddled his thumbs to occupy his mind.

"Andy was Audrina's ex-boyfriend… Rebecca and Robert were her best friends…" Her eyes swelled up and she looked to the ground… "Please. Just tell me my baby is going to be okay… she's my life, I'd die if she did."

The taller, thinner of the two put his hand on her shoulder. "We're going to find her. I can promise you that. And if anything happened to her, we're also going to find the sicko that did that to her, and he'll pay for what he did."

Mrs.Welsche looked up, tears still in her eyes. "…Promise?"

"Promise." He replied.
