"So what'd you think of the movie, babe?" Phil asked his girlfriend Kimi as he was driving her to her friend's house from the movies. As he looked at her, he was hypnotized by her incredible beauty. Even after some years, it was still hard to believe that he had the girl of his dreams, despite being the most gross and immature human in the world. They'd liked each other since the 7th grade, and now nine years later, they're an unbreakable couple.

"It was great, babe! I loved it, we'll have to get it on DVD!" she said with her beautiful voice.

"Absolutely, whatever you want. So what do you plan at Dakota's?" he asked her.

"Oh, you know, girl talk, probably give her every detail of this AMAZING date I just had."

They pulled up to the neighborhood, but the road seemed windy and it took a ton of turns, not to mention confusing intersections.

"Wow... who the heck designed this neighborhood? Damn, how the hell do you even navigate it?" Phil asked, gazing on what looked like a shit ton of roads just crazily thrown together.

"Oh, Phil, I'm sorry! I didn't tell you how confusing it was!" Kimi replied, kissing his cheek. "You know what, her house isn't too far from here, but it is gonna take some confusing turns. I'll just walk, go on home, babe."

"Are you sure?" Phil doubted. "It's pretty damn dark."

"I'll be fine, babe. It's not that far." She opened the door. "... I... love you." She gave Phil a huge kiss.

"I love you so much as well... anyways, have fun at Dakota's, and I'll see you tomorrow," Phil told her. They kissed, told each other they loved each other, and she closed the door. He still had that smile on his face; he was in amazement.. no doubt about it. It truly was an amazing night for them.


Phil woke up the next morning, still stunned in happiness. He was so excited to talk to her, he immediately grabbed his iPhone. Seven new Whatsapp messages flashed across his screen: one from Kimi, three from Dakota, two from Tommy, and one from Kira. It was odd he recieved so many messages, so he decided to open Kimi's first, which read "Helpfodskfdjejejiaosodj))", which confused him.

"Did she butt-text me?" he asked himself. "Did she send me a text in her sleep?" He was super confused and replied via Whatsapp. "Babe? Do you remember sending me that text?"

He waited for approx five minutes, but no reply. He decided to check the messages from Dakota.

"Hello?"

"Phil, are you guys almost there?"

"Seriously, where's Kimi?"

Each text was approx half an hour apart from one another. Phil was super confused, but then he figured, she probably sent those while he and Kimi were on the way there... or at least, that IS what what he thought until he realized the text was sent ten minutes after he dropped off Kimi. Odd, but it could be just a reception problem; he figured Dakota hit send after typing the texts, but didn't send due to poor signal that was that great. He shrugged it off... then went to check on Tommy's messages sent to him.

"Phil, where the fuck are you and Kimi?"

"Our parents are getting worried sick, especially Kimi's."

It was at that moment theat Betty busted the door in.

"There you are! Thank God!" she said as she ran towards him, grabbing ahold of him.

"Mom, what's going on?" Phil asked his mother. She was having troubles, you can tell she started to cry, which had him really worried. She put the phone up to her ear.

"Yes, Kira, he's here. Do you want to speak with him?"

Phil heard a voice say something something on the phone, then she handed it to him.

"Hello?" he asked into the phone.

"Phil, what time did you drop Kimi off at Dakota's last night?" Kira asked him.

"Uhm... about 11."

"Well, Dakota just called us and said Kimi never shoed up. We figured she's with you. Is she? If she's not, we have a huge problem." Phil began to shiver cold at hearing it.

"PHIL, ANSWER ME!"

"Uh.. no, ma'am! She's not!" he answered. He checked the last text from Kira, which said Kimi never made it to Dakota's house according to Dakota. Phil broke down to tears, and immdeiately began calling Kimi with no answer. He called her on multiple attempts, and began to cry after, and so did Betty.

"Phil, when d-did you last see her?" she said behind tears.

"When I dropped her off at the stop sign in Dakota's neighborhood."

Just then Howard and Lil, in their PJs. "Betty, Phil? What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Howard asked them.

Lil walked over to her brother. "Phillip... what's wrong? What... what happened?" she asked him. He slowly looked up at her. "Lil... we don't... we don't know where Kimi is."

"What do you mean 'you don't know'? You were supposed to take her to Dakota's!" she yelled and began to tear up.

"I dropped her off at Dakota's neighborhood; it was a big, confusing neighborhood and I-I-I-I, I mean SHE told me that I should just drop her off because Dakota's wasn't far and... that was it... and then she sent me this!" He showed Lil the text, and she began to cry.

"Wait, Phil, look!" she said as she handed him his phone.

"What is it, Lil?" Betty asked, leaning over to look at his phone screen.

"I think she tried to type 'help!'" He then looked at it... after Lil shoed me, he saw it. "Hel-pfodskfdjejejiaosodj))"

"But, what would cause her to type all those letters alng with it?" Howard asked.

"Someone was dragging her away," Betty answered.

At that, Phil became frustrated while screaming 'no' and pulling his hair.

"Phil, look! Someone must've had a hold of her and was pulling her around or something, and she tried to call for help, but she must've had some control of what she's typing!" Betty explained.

"I'll call the police," Howard told them.


Two hours later, the DeVilles watched this news interruption.

"We apologize for interrupting your program, but this is urgent. An Amber Alert has been assigned here in our town. Kimi Watanabe Finster has been missing since approximately 11:00 PM last night. She was las seen by her boyfriend, Phillip DeVille, who dropped her off at a friend's house after a date. DeVille claims that he woke up to a text from Kimi, which contained scrambled letters of what was believed she attempted to write 'Help' in a Whatsapp text message to DeVille. This is the last type of contact of any sort that's been recieved from Kimi, and authorities and county police are now on the scene. A cellular device which has been identified to be Kimi's by her friends was found by the police about thirty five yards from where Kimi was dropped off by DeVille. Kimi's family includes mother, Kira; step-father, Chas; and step-brother, Chuckie. Here is the most recent picture of Kimi. If you see her, please be sure to report it. Your help in the search will be greatly appreciated. Please stay tuned for extra details on the scene."

It then cut into a short piece of interview with the Sheriff of the county police, who was being asked about it all.

"We're doing the absolute best that we can, in the hopes of her being alive, and that she didn't get far. This cellphone we found could be a tremendous help, but we don't know yet. We're going to look into it. This is currently our top case... and let me just say it's a damn shame that, if she was kidnapped, which is definitely what it looks like at this point, that people are still sick enough to do stuff like this... Damn shame."
