Where Is That Boy?
Gabrielle was stunned. She was speechless. Mo and Resa were talking about going to the address noted on the card while Elinor was lecturing her on respecting your elders. Honestly, she did not hear a word of it. Though, she felt guilty about letting this crook take Thomas. Feeling guilty, Gabrielle asked, "Is there anything I can do to help you find Thomas? I can look up the address on Google Maps."
Gabrielle saw Doria lean over to Meggie and whisper something but Gabrielle couldn't understand it. Doria was just as amazed as Thomas was when she first saw him, but Doria likes the electronics and tinkering with them. When Gabrielle first approached the house she saw him examining the door bell and wondering how the sound got throughout the entire house.
"We do not have a computer here but please… we might need directions. If it is not too much trouble" Mo asked interrupting Gabrielle's thoughts. "All right," She said.
Gabrielle then immediately ran out of the door straight to her house. It seemed an eternity before Gabrielle ran up the stairs to the living room. She then pulled her Dell from its carrying case and plugged it into the printer.
It seemed like forever before the computer completely booted up. As soon as the little internet sign showed up she double clicked that impatiently and the waiting began again. As soon as the Google page showed up Gabrielle pulled up the Google Maps link.
After typing in the address on the letter, she found something very disturbing. Before Gabrielle could process her thoughts, her mom came through the door. Gabrielle was still in a minor shock when her mother asked her, "What are you doing sweetie?" Shaking unpleasant thoughts from her head Gabrielle replied, "Thomas's parents were at the abandoned mansion looking for him and I volunteered to help by getting directions to the place Thomas was at but…" Gabrielle paused to take a breath; she was speaking way too fast for her own good. Gabrielle's mother looked confused and worried, "But what?" she asked. "The address she gave to us was the address to the local cemetery! She lied! But why?" Gabrielle was practically out of breath when she finished.
"First things first," Gabrielle's mother said, "We need to inform Thomas's parents about the current predicament that we are now all in. We will drive there. Second we will go to the police and get them to explain what happened. Third, we will look everywhere in the surrounding area for Thomas. Got that?" Gabrielle nodded and they were ready and in the car in under 30 seconds.
