Sean woke up the following morning to find Bradin gone. He knew that Stacey was gone because she woke him up saying that she was going to take a shower and talk to Kaitlin's mother. He threw on a shirt and walked out of the room to find Stacey. He found her with Kaitlin's mother in the living room talking to police officers.

"Hey baby," he said.

"Hey," she said standing up and kissing him. "How are you?"

"I'm fine."

"How'd you sleep, dear?" Mrs. Bailey asked.

"I slept like a baby. Do either of you now where Bradin is?" he asked.

"No. He's not in the room?" Stacey asked.

"No."

"I think I know where he is," Mrs. Bailey said standing up. She led them up the stairs and to her daughter's room. There they found him sleeping on the bed.

"He does miss her," Sean said quietly.

Kaitlin's mother walked up the bed and sat down. "Bradin," she said softly trying to wake him up, "Bradin."

He moved a little bit and opened his eyes. "What?" he whined. He looked around and saw Kaitlin's mother along with Sean and Stacey.

"How are you doing?" Stacey asked.

"Terrible. All I can do is think of and worry about her," he told them sitting up, "She means so much to me."

"She means a lot to all of us," Sean said.

"Look at me. I'm lying in her bed smelling her shampoo and crying because she's gone!" he yelled, "I don't think I'll ever see her again!"

"Please stop," Mrs. Bailey begged.

"I'm sorry," he said, "I just don't want them to find her dead. Hell, I don't want them to find her with one scratch on her or I'll murder the people doing this to us and her."

A cop walked into the room. "Mrs. Bailey, it's almost eleven. They'll be calling soon."

"Can one of use answer it?" Sean asked. "Maybe we can figure out the person by the voice. Maybe we know who's doing this."

Mrs. Bailey looked at the cop. "Okay fine. Just this once thought. If you can't help us, then go back home."

"They're going to stay until they decide to leave," Mrs. Bailey told the cop, "They need to be here."

"Okay. All of you come downstairs," he said.

The three teenagers sat down around the living room. They decided to let Bradin answer the phone and have the others listen on. Eleven o'clock rolled around and the phone rang. A cop gave Bradin the go ahead and he answered the phone.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Who is this?" a male voice sounded.

All of the teenagers looked at each other. They knew who it was. "I'm a friend of Kaitlin's. Her mother told me to answer the phone while she went to the bathroom," he said.

"I was going to let her talk to her daughter today for their final words to each other," the voice said.

"What!" he yelled.

"What?" the voice asked.

"Their final words? What do you mean?" Bradin asked.

"Oh nothing. We have to go. Bye!" They hung up.

Bradin hung up and looked at Sean and Stacey.

"Tanner," they all said.

"Who?" a cop asked.

"He use to hurt Kaitlin when she was in Playa Linda. He shot Sean. He and his girlfriend planned the shooting and were never caught," Bradin explained, "Goddamn it!"

"Calm down," Stacey said, "We're all upset, Bradin."

"You weren't friends with someone who now wants someone that you love dead!" he screamed getting up and heading upstairs.

He came down a few minutes later changed and looked like he was going to go out.

"Where are you going?" Sean asked.

"I'm going to go look for her. if anyone decides to join me, be my guest."
