AN : Today, I am uploading the last of Every Fifteen Minutes, because I'm not sure when I'll get wifi again, so here you go. Warning : Frank is about to lose it. (This chapter was left out the first time around, I put in the next chapter twice accidentally.)

9:27 AM

It's been about a week since the accident. I think most of my family thinks I'm going a little overboard with all this, and maybe even a little insane, but their own curiosity about who could have caused their accident has at least brought Karen and Joe to help me, and that's enough for the moment. I can't stop now. I'm so close.

3:48 PM

Karen and Joe left a half hour ago to follow a lead. I'm on my computer. I've brought it down to two possible suspects. It seemed fate was cruel and had decided to make the first two I looked at when I started all my research be the only two who weren't being tracked or under lock and key right now. The man who tried to kill my siblings is either Shannon Mallory or David Teegan. Now I just have to find out which.

4:13 PM

My phone started ringing, but for the life of me, I couldn't find it. Finally I spotted and grabbed it from the bottom of my bag and hit the answer button, noting Karen's caller ID.

"You are so lucky I found my phone before it went to voicemail." I told my sister, holding back the my laughter so she could understand what I was saying.

"Frank…"

I froze. Her voice sounded little and scared on the other side.

"Kk?" I asked, "What's going on?"

"It was a setup." her voice crackled through the phone to tell me of their plight. "We're tied up on the fifth floor in the dark and the only light is coming from my phone and the countdown timer on the bomb. Frank, I'm scared. Joe's out cold. I don't think we're gonna make it out this time-"

I could tell that her phone was moved away from her mouth, as her voice became frantic background noise trying to tell me words I couldn't discern, and I heard the soft telltale clatter of the phone falling on a carpeted floor.

"Okay." I heard a gruff and surprisingly unfamiliar male's voice growl. "That's enough. Frankie got to hear you one more time, now it's lights out."

"No!"

I heard my sister's chilling scream, followed by muffled shouting until- silence.

I practically shouted into the phone.

"Who are you?! Leave them alone!"

I knew he had heard me when the gruff voice came back to the phone.

"I am going to leave them alone, Frankie. I'm going to leave them right here where your sister said they are. You'd better hurry up and get here Frankie. Wouldn't want you to miss the show." He chuckled darkly and left me with a dial tone.

4:33 PM

My heart is beating out of my chest, my blood pounding in my ears. I'm only a block away now. I hear sirens. I knew I would. I called 911 before I left and told them where to meet me. So close… then I see the flames. No… This can't be happening… They're alive. They have to be. I turn dad's car sharply and pull up alongside the control crew…

"Chief!" I called.

Chief Collig turned at the sound of my voice, his face solemn.

"You're not going to like my news, Frank."

"What news, where are my siblings?" I asked, dreading having to hear what I was sure he was going to tell me.

"Frank, maybe we should call your folks-"

"So they can meet us at the hospital?" I interrupted, trying to stop him from saying those words I had told myself time and time again I should be prepared for in this line of work but had known I'd never be ready to hear.

"No, Frank. So they can see what's left of Karen and Joe's final resting place, and pick up the remains, if there are any. I'm sorry, Frank. We were too late. They're gone."
