"It's about Josh," Alicia signed, putting her head in her hands.

"Now way! I thought it was about Edward Cullen!" Massie snapped, throwing her arms up.

"I wish…" Dylan breathed, her eyes getting dreamy.

"Guys! Please! I'm about to say something that's really hard for me to say, but I think it would relieve some of the stress that has been building up inside of me. Massie, if you need to say something not-so-nice, I'm sure you can do it in a calm and non-hurtful way." Alicia lectured.

"Ok, Dr. Phil!"

"You have been reading WAY too many non-violent communication books!"

Massie was laughing to hard to even speak. Alicia was grateful. She knew Massie's retort would be the worst. Speaking like that just helped to clear Alicia's head.

"Fine. I won't tell you." Alicia was on the verge of tears. Claire, the only one who seemed to understand the gravity of the situation, had come to sit by Alicia.

"You can tell me," Claire offered.

The others seemed to sober up, and gathered around Alicia. All except for Massie, who was trying to catch her breath. When she did, she joined the group.

"Ok. When I was at Slice of Heaven, I got a call." Alicia started, gazing at the girls. They were hanging onto her every word. "It was from Josh. He sounded…panicked. In pain. Scared. I don't know. Then, he was talking, and I heard I voice in the background, and the line went dead. I-I'm so scared." Alicia's heart felt like a whip was striking it.

"Give me your phone." Kristen stood up and held out her palm.

"Uh, ok." Alicia handed her slim black iPhone to Kristen.

Kristen lifted the phone closer to her face and started pressing buttons like crazy. After about three minutes she held it up like a trophy.

"Got it!" She showed it to the group of girls. "I tracked his call. Not too hard. I learned it in an extra credit technology class."

Massie simply raised one eyebrow at Kristen. Claire looked around, overwhelmed.

"Tech class? Really, Kris?" Dylan scoffed.

Alicia threw her arms around Kristen and screamed thank you.

"Let's roll!" Alicia shouted.

"Uh, ok then." Dylan shook her head. "What is with you mood swings today? First your depressed, then your dramatic, then all zen and Dr. Phil, now hyper?"

Alicia was already halfway out the door, bouncing in her pumps. "Come on! We have to get there!"

Pulling up to the curb in front of the given address, Dylan looked around, confused. "An abandoned brewery?" (CSI!)

"Oh, no. We have to get in there, now." Kristen was already out the door.

The steps echoed off the cool, damp walls. As soon as Dylan entered, a rusty, wet smells hit her lungs. "Maybe we should call the police or something. What if anyone who was, uh, with him is still here?" Dylan's whisper echoed eerily off the walls.

"It's fine. Whoever was here would've left by now." Massie said at full volume. A small whimper echoed through the building.

"Leesh! Shut up!" Massie said, whispering now.

"Guys…that wasn't me."

Another whimper, this time louder, was heard. The girls followed it. They approached a door, with a small, reddened handle. The door was slightly open ajar, though. Alicia kicked it open, creating a resounding boom.

"Oh my gawd…"
