A/N: Well, would you look at that? I'm back to my usual updating. Huh. Maybe this is what my usual updating is. Daily every other week, but only, like, two chapters on the other weeks. Yeah. I'll try that out.
"Where's dad?" Sutton asked Laurel as she pulled out of the driveway.
"He... Can't come," Laurel murmured.
"Laurel! He's a doctor! He should be here just in case Emma is closer to being dead than we thought!" Sutton cried out, stopping the car to stare at her little sister.
"Yeah, Sutton. He is a doctor. That's why he needs to be at home right now," Laurel replied, quietly.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you really have to ask? It's noon and mom is still in bed," Laurel said, sadly.
"It's noon?" Sutton looked at the small, green numbers on the car's clock.
"Laurel, she was probably to focused on Emma to worry about anything else," Thayer put in from the passenger seat.
"Dad was reading about strokes and seizures," Laurel whispered, ignoring Thayer. "If something is wrong with mom, he has to stay and help her."
Sutton started to drive away from the house. "Well, what are we supposed to do if Emma really is worse than we thought?"
"Well," Laurel replied, "I mean, I know I haven't been doing this as much as you guys, but maybe we should call the cops. Tell them our stories."
"Laurel, its been months. Do you seriously think they'll believe us?" Thayer replied.
"You guys said you tried when it was just Emma-"
"Emma told the cops?" Sutton interrupted.
"When it was just Emma. Now both of you are here. You just need to call the killers bluff," Laurel said, ignoring Sutton's question.
"No, we just need to save my sister," Sutton responded.
Laurel sighed. "Fine. But we have some people we need to pick up..."
"Ethan, Emma's in trouble!" Mads started.
"Yeah, I know. Dan told me that she's with Rebecca!" Ethan replied as he walked out of his trailer.
"No! Emma's dying!" Mads cried out.
"What?!" Ethan exclaimed, stopping in front of his Jeep. He turned around and thought about telling Dan.
Mads told Ethan everything that Jordan told her, skipping the parts that Ethan already knew.
"Sutton should be on her way to pick you up!" Mads finished.
"No, she probably isn't. You said you told Thayer to tell Sutton. If he did, he wouldn't tell her to get me, especially if we're saving Emma," Ethan said, half to Mads and half to himself.
"Ethan, you and Emma were the start of this 'detective' thing. Sutton will always come to get you," Mads replied.
Just then, a car honked behind Ethan.
"Hey, that must be them. Thanks for calling me," Ethan told Mads before he ended the call.
Ethan turned around, expecting to see Sutton's BMW. Instead, he saw a white Prius, with a license plate that told Ethan the car was a rental.
"Emma's missing."
