Chapter 21:

That Girl

FBI Headquarters:

Greg Reynolds leaned back in his chair in his small cubicle at the FBI headquarters. He

picked up a folder that had been laying on his desk, opened the folder, and sighed. There was a photo of a girl, and then a file behind it. Behind that were tons of news articles, and clues, and an odd looking letter. The file was of Erika Leonhard. She had been part of a big case with one of his favorite serial killers, Chris Boydz. However, he still had yet to find the girl and Chris. He had been tracking down this guy for about 14 years now. He felt real sympathy for the little girl and her family. Probably only because his daughter had been kidnaped and never found too. That was the only reason he offered to take the case. It had been the anniversary since this girl had disappeared. And he wasn't much closer. He had decided to just give the family the file, and tell them that he was sorry, but he simply couldn't find his daughter. He grabbed his jacket, and began to leave, when suddenly, one of his co-workers shoved a letter in his hand, and said that they had gotten it by mistake. The handwriting on the envelope matched that on the front of the envelope that had been left for the Leonhards after Chris kidnaped Erika. He quickly tore it open. As he read the letter, his face turned a ghostly white, and the letter fell to the floor.

Leonhard's House:

Lisa heard the doorbell ring, and she rushed to the door and opened it. It was Zack and Cody.

She sighed, gave off a small smile, and let them in.

"So, how are you guys?" she asked.

"Not bad" they said in unison.

"Were you okay yesterday?" asked Zack.

"Zack" said Cody, hitting his brother.

"I'm fine. Why? Did I seem upset?" asked Lisa, avoiding the truth.

"Oh, never mind" said Zack, giving his brother a look that said, 'There, you happy now?'.

"So, what you wanna do?" asked Lisa.

"We wanted to see if you wanted to go to the movies or something"said Cody.

"Sure. Hold on. I'll go ask my mom" she said, wandering through the house to go find her mom.

Now was their chance to find that picture. Zack and Cody scanned the walls of the entrance room. Suddenly, Cody found it. He motioned for Zack to come over there. It was the photo of a girl, who looked about ten. She had brown hair and brown eyes. Zack thought she was beautiful. They shook their heads in confusion, still not understanding what had happened to the girl. They wondered if perhaps she lived with her dad because they had never seen Mr. Leonhard, and had never heard him mentioned. Only on occasion by Lisa. They thought that perhaps Mr. and Mrs. Leonhard had gotten divorced. They weren't sure. Suddenly, they heard Lisa coming back in, and they quietly snuck back to where they were originally standing.

"Hey, I can go" she said, going over to the hall closet, getting out a pair of flip flops, and motioning them out the door.

Aunt Jennifer had taken them to the movies. They were going to see "Sisters and Brothers" a new movie that had just come out about a week ago.

On the Highway to Kinsman, Ohio:

Carrey sped down the highway, sipping her coffee, and flipping through the radio stations.

She had been stressed. It had been 5 days since the anniversary of Kurt's death. She had decided to stay a while in Arttown. She had called Zack and Cody a lot over the past days. She really needed some more sleep. She had been so stressed lately. Too stressed. But she couldn't stop. She had to find Bonnie. She had to. Suddenly, she noticed the long line before her, as the car slowly came to a stop. It looked like a wreck. Not to far up. She could be here for a while. Suddenly, she saw flashing lights and heard sirens behind her, warning her that it had just happened. She would be her for a long while. She sighed, put the car in park, leaned back into her chair, and picked up a magazine that had been on the seat next to her, and began to flip through the pages. Shw set it down. She was too stressed. She needed to find Bonnie. And when she found Chris, she had some nasty things to say to him. She wanted to kill him. She really did. But she knew that doing that would make her no better than him.

Finally about forty-five minutes later, the line began to move, and in no time, she was back on the road, speeding towards Kinsman, Ohio. According to the map, there wasn't much longer to go. She had no connection with Kinsman, so she was wondering if perhaps Chris did, or if it was just an even place. She had noticed the zig-zag pattern of states.

Suddenly, there was an exit sign for Kinsman. She noticed it, and turned down. The area was very rural, and filled with forests. Kinsman was still a few miles away.

On road to Aunt Jennifer's House:

Chris chugged the energy drink, trying to keep awake. He looked back into the back seat, and

noticed that Bonnie was asleep. 'Good' he thought, as he continued to follow the directions down the back roads. He some rope, gags, and a letter all prepared. He knew that he would have Carrey after this. He just knew it. If he had all three of her kids, he knew she would be powerless. It would be perfect. They could all be a lovely family. And Zack and Cody would have a father again. It had to work for him. It just had to. And her was sure it would. Positively sure. Suddenly, Bonnie began to wake.

"Hey sweetie" he said, looking frightened.

"Hey. Where are we?" she asked glancing out the window.

"I don't know. I think I made a wrong turn" he said, pretending to panic.

"What was your first clue?" Bonnie said.

"Ha ha. I think I'll stop for directions" he said, glancing around for a house.

Bonnie just sighed and leaned back into the seat, shaking her head.

'That was close. Now she won't have to know about Zack and Cody until later' thought Chris, dropping a small quick-reacting sleeping pill that he had received illegally into the unopened mountain dew. And waited for it to dissolve.

"Here, have some" said Chris, shoving it in her hand. Bonnie shrugged and chugged it. A few minutes later, she had entered dream land.

Aunt Jennifer's Home:

Zack and Cody sat up in there bed, reflecting upon the movie, while they were supposed to

be sleeping.

"Did you notice Lisa was crying during that move?" asked Cody.

"Yeah" said Zack.

"I think that girl was her sister, and she lost her" said Cody.

"I'm starting to agree. But I'm afraid to confront her" said Zack, sighing.

" I know. I mean, we probably should, but I'm afraid to. I don't know what to say" said Cody.

"Yeah"

Suddenly, they heard Aunt Jennifer walk past and into bed, then noticed the clock, and went to bed themselves, unaware of what was going to happen to them very shortly.
