The Camdens and Kinkirks are down at the search party for Katie. Lucy and Kevin met up with Matt and Sarah.
"We know." Lucy said. Matt sighed.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Kevin wondered.
"We didn't want you guys to get more upset. You guys have a lot in you're mind." Sarah responded.
"She's my niece!" Kevin cried.
"Look? Jenn's fine, now. Kelly is fine. There's no need to worry." Matt said.
"No need to worry? Matt? How can Jenn and Kelly be fine? This must be a big thing!"
"Luce? Jenn's home." Matt walked away. Lucy sighed.
"Sarah?"
"Were fine, Luce. " Sarah followed her husband.
"There lying to us." Ruthie walked over and heard what Kevin said.
"How did the media know?" Ruthie asked.
"That's what I'm thinking about." This was worrying Lucy. Martin puts his shoulder around Ruthie.
"I guess they told the media, and, not us." Martin shrugged.
"I guess." Ruthie agreed.
Matt sat on a big rock where he found Katie's necklace.
"Katie? It's you're Uncle Matt. I need you to come back home. I want you to hear me...but you can't. I need to know if you're safe. I love you, you're my favorite niece." Matt pauses. "Just don't tell any of you're girl cousins that. Katie? This has been hard. Jenn was almost kidnapped last night--Kelly saw. I wish Annabell did the same... I know, no it's not her fault.. She's young. She was scared and so was Kelly. I don't know why someone would kidnap you. I'm sitting in the woods where I found you're necklace. Annabell's wearing it. She'll give it back to you, when you come home, and I know you will. I have faith in you, baby girl. Come home, safetly okay? I love you." Matt ocvered his face with his hands.
"KATIE!!" The search began for this day.
"Katie!!" More volunteers screamed for her name.
Mary found her big brother crying.
"Hey, Matt. Everthing's going to be fine." Mary gave her brother a shoulder to cry on.
"Why do I feel like I'm failing? Why do I feel like I'm going to give up? She's not even my daughter--I love her like she's my daughter. Mary? I miss her..."
"We all do."
"Lucy and Kevin are mad that I didn't tell them right away. I didn't tell them that Jenn was almost being kidnapped. I didn't want to tell them. Mare? I found Katie's necklace right over here, where I'm sitting. Does this tell you something?"
"Yes. That she's out there alive and well. She'll come home."
"I feel like she's one of my daughters." Matt was proud to say that.
It was true. He and Katie had a close relationship. This was one of the hardest for Matt to deal with.
It was hard for the whole family to deal with. This horrible ordeal.
