Kelly knocked on the door once again to Cindy's small bungalow. She looked briefly at Sabrina as they waited for an answer.

"She's not home."

Sabrina and Kelly turned to see the small elderly lady standing at the end of the walk. "She's not there. She went out of here quite quickly not an hour after your last visit." She looked at Kelly.

Kelly stepped from the top step towards the lady, "Did she say where she was gong?"

"No. It was about an hour after you were here before, she came running out of the house and took off in her car. Cindy's a great kid and I watch over her like she was my own. But ever since this mess with her sister, she hasn't been the same."

Kelly gave Sabrina a quick glance before turning back to the lady, "Her sister?"

"Yes, Jessica. She disappeared from the university up in San Francisco, where she teaches, a few days ago. Cindy has been most distraught about it."

Sabrina looked at the lady before them, "I'm sorry Miss…." Sabrina started to ask the ladies name, "Do you know where Cindy went?"

"Oh I'm terrible sorry. The name is Clause, Martha Clause. And as to where Cindy went. I have no idea. She may have gone to see some of Jess' friends in hopes they may be able to find her sister. She seemed most upset when she left."

"What make's you think she was upset." Kelly asked ignoring the coincidence on the ladies name.

"I could tell she had been crying. But there is someone you should look into if you are trying to help Cindy. There is a man by the name of Peter that has always been an enemy of her boyfriend Nikolas. He will stop at nothing to prevent Nikolas from his task and duty. Cindy thinks Jessica is there."

Sabrina sat in the car and gripped the steering wheel tight. They had gotten the address from the lady, Ms Clause, but her head was whirling.

"Bri?"

"Don't even start Kelly. Don't even start."

"Bri what if…"

Sabrina twisted her head quickly towards her long time friend. "NO. Nonono. I won't even fathom the thought of it. This is just some weird kidnapping. Nothing more." Sabrina put her foot down.

Kelly frowned at Sabrina, "We should call Kris see if she has had any luck on her end with Jessica's friends. Maybe we should all get together at the office and look into this Peter fellow."

"Yeah Peter who. Ms. Clause wasn't too forthcoming there. I mean she didn't even have a last name on the guy. How are we supposed to find him?" Sabrina asked. "Besides looking into some address she fgave us."

Kelly gave her friend a weak smile before lifting up the receiver to Sabrina's car phone. She dialled Kris' phone and let it ring a few more times then she usually would, hanging it up after getting no answer. "She isn't answering."

"Well she had to meet some people, maybe she is away from her phone. Try her again in a few minutes." Sabrina reasoned.

Kelly sat trying to put the pieces together. So far they really had nothing to go on. They had a boyfriend that didn't exist on paper anywhere, a victim that is seemingly ageless, a client that has disappeared and now a mysterious enemy that all they know of him is his name is Peter. She was brought from her thoughts when Sabrina called her name for the third time.

"Sorry Bri I was just trying to work this all together."

"Well let's go see if Bosley has anything on anyone named Peter or our missing boyfriend Nikolas for that matter, and we'll try Kris again." Sabrina said as she got from her car and started for the front door to the office.

Walking in the office they could hear Charlie's voice as he spoke with Bosley over the speaker phone. "They just walked in Charlie."

"Hello angels."

"Hi Charlie."

"I can't seem to track down Jill so what ever your feel is bothering Kris you're going to have to do it without her help."

"I thought she was in Spain Charlie." Kelly added in as she took a seat on the couch.

'I tried there but it seems she has already left for Brazil for the first race of the season."

Kelly and Sabrina shared a look, "Well figure it out Charlie. Any luck on finding our missing boyfriend."

"Nothing I'm afraid. I think Jessica's friends could hold the answers we need. When is Kris due back?"

"We tried calling her on her phone Charlie but she didn't pick up. We were going to try her again from her." Kelly answered

"Good idea. I want this solved before the holidays Angels I want you all to enjoy them. Keep me informed angels."

Bosley hung up the phone and then dialled Kris car phone, "No answer. If she's meeting with Jessica's friends maybe she is just away from her phone."

"I don't know Bos. Kelly tried on the way here and she didn't pick up then." Sabrina said with a slight tingle of worry in her voice as she looked at her watched realizing it was now nearly 45minutes since they last tried to reach Kris.

"Well lets give it a few more minutes then we'll go and find those same friends and find out what's going on." Bosley suggested as they sat the painstakingly few minuets before trying again.

"It's been nearly an hour since we first tried her. She should have met them and be heading back by now," Kelly said as she paced past Bosley's desk for the seventh time.

Once again they got no answer on Kris' car phone.

"Ok let's not panic yet." Sabrina said taking charge. "Bosley go down to the pier and ask around for Jessica's friends. That's where Kris was to be heading. Kelly you and I will head over to her place. Maybe she went home first."

~~ CA ~~ CA

Sabrina pulled her car in the small parking area next to Kris beach house. It was getting dark and the first thing she noticed was the Christmas lights around the roof line and the small lights intertwined along the railing that wound around the patio.

"Looks nice."

"Yeah." Sabrina agreed as they stepped up the steps to the front door, "No car." She stated matter of factly.

"Yeah. Maybe she came home and left again." Kelly hoped.

Sabrina pulled out her key and unlocked the door. Seeing the house neat and tidy both Angels knew that Kris hadn't come home from when she left that morning. Her mail was still in the mailbox, something she would have picked up if she had come home for only a few minutes.

Kelly moved around the kitchen as Sabrina went down the hall towards the bedroom, "She hasn't been here." She said as she came back into the kitchen to see Kelly standing near the counter with a serious look on her face, "What?"

When Kelly was looking around Kris' kitchen for any clue their friend had been home, she saw the letter lying face up on the counter top. She hadn't meant to pry in her friend's private life but something had caught her eye. She cast a quick glance over the letter and realized then what was bothering their young friend.

She looked up at Sabrina who was walking towards her. She held out the letter for Sabrina to read.

Sabrina hesitated a moment as she didn't want to read something that was personal to Kris, but could see something in Kelly's face that made her look down and read, at least what she needed to know.

Having found nothing at the beach house both Angels started back for the car to call Bosley, to see if he had any more luck then they had.

"Bosley?"

"Hi Kelly anything?"

"Nothing she hasn't been home but we did find one thing that may help to some degree. How did you fair?"

"I have a possible. I talked to a few people down here that remember seeing Kris talking to a couple people down at Gonzales beach."

"Gonzales Beach? That isn't anywhere near the pier." Kelly said with worry.

"I know, but they all said she had gotten some information to meet some people down there."

"So she didn't meet with Jessica's friends?"

"No she did, here at the pier, but they said as she left the pier she was seeing talking with someone and then went down long the rocks and started towards Gonzales."

Kelly looked over at Sabrina as they drove down the hwy towards the Santa Monica pier. "I don't like the sound of that Bos."

"I don't either. I'll wait for you two here and we can go down there and take a look."

Kelly hung up the phone and saw the quick glance that Sabrina gave her, "Bos got nothing?"

"Yes and no. She was seen talking to people after she was leaving the pier but they weren't Jessica'' friends."

"I don't like that." Sabrina agreed with Kelly assessment in talking to Bosley

"Me either. Hurry Bos is meeting us at the gate of the pier." Kelly encouraged her friend to driver faster

Kelly was the first out of the car as Sabrina pulled into the parking stall. She saw Bosley right away wit three people standing next to him.

"I thought we were heading towards Gonzales Beach?" Sabrina asked from behind Kelly.

"I was waiting for you and these three approached me. Seems they were talking to Kris on the beach."

Both Kelly and Sabrina turned to the three beside Bosley, "You talked to Kris?"

"Yes. We were helping her find Jessica."

Sabrina looked at Kelly a moment before turning back, "Jessica. So you know her?"

"Yes we all do. And we need her found. Kris was going to help us."

"Ok, so where was Kris going to help you?" Sabrina asked.

"We gave her information on where to find Peter. He's Nikolas enemy."

Kelly looked at Sabrina, Peter again. An unsaid message went between them. As Kelly looked back to those with Bosley, "Can you tell us where Kris went?" She asked wondering if it was the same address they had gotten from Martha.

"Sure. But please be careful. He is mean and his men are meaner. If they catch you; well it would be very bad for you." She finished as she handed Kelly the piece of paper with an address.

After they then seemingly disappeared Kelly and Sabrina looked at the addres and then to each other.

"So we go see if Peters home?" Sabrina suggested.

Kelly looked down the beach to where the three strangers had gone. There was no sign of them anywhere. Not even a footprint in the sand. "Yeah. Lets just be careful." She replied as she still held her gaze to the sand and seeing no one, of the someone's that should be there.
