Erin's POV
"We got something!" Jay said as he walked into the room. He held up a bunch of scrap paper before putting them up on the case board.
"I talked to Jessica and her husband Jeremy, they gave us these papers which were left behind when they moved in," Jay said, pointing to the scrap paper, "They called Daniel but he never picked up or called back so they forgot about it but kept them anyway."
Adam nodded, "It's a good thing they did. They're papers for a website. If one of you guys want to search into that."
"On it," Hailey said. Adam took the paper off the case board and tossed it to Hailey who started furiously typing on her laptop.
We all crowded around Hailey's desk to see what would pop up.
"It's an animal rehoming site," I said as Hailey scrolled through the pictures of animals.
"Six years old, brown eyes, brown hair, well behaved," Jay said, reading the description underneath a picture of a yellow labrador retriever.
Hailey shook her head, "They're not talking about animals." She turned her attention towards the case board and nodded her head at it.
"Megan's six and has brown hair and brown eyes," Hailey pointed out. My stomach sank as I put things together.
I pointed at one of the other descriptions on the website. "Seven years old," I read, "green eyes, blond hair, quiet." I then looked at the pictures of the girls on the case board.
"Zoe Collins," I whispered.
"Click on the sold link," Adam said and Hailey did as he asked. She scrolled down, counting the amount of 'animals' they had sold.
"21," Hailey said and scrolled back up to the top of the page, "What should we do?"
Voight nodded, "Alright, start betting. I don't care what you do, just make sure you win." He then turned around and headed towards his office.
"Sarge," I said, hurrying after him, "What's your plan?"
Voight stopped and turned around, "You'll find out soon enough."
I nodded, "Should I inform the families?"
"That sounds like a good idea," He said, "Get Burgess to help you out." Voight then turned around and went into his office. I did what Voight asked me to and told Kim what he had said.
"You call half of them, I'll call the other half," I said and split up the work onto the piece of paper.
"I'll call this half?" Kim asked, pointing one of the categories and I nodded.
The first victim I was to call was Naia's family. Sighing, I picked up the phone and dialled the given number.
It rang once, only once, before someone picked up.
"Did you find her?" Gabby's worried voice asked desperately.
I bit my lip, "No, but we found another lead which we think will bring us close to finding her and the other girls."
"You'll keep us updated, right?" Gabby asked and I nodded.
"Of course. Look, I wish I could tell you more but I have to call the other victims' families," I said, "I promise we'll keep you up to date with everything."
"Thank you," Gabby said and I smiled weakly.
"No problem," I replied, "Have a good day,"
Gabby sighed, "You too,"
I hung up and looked at the other families I had to call and hoped that those conversations would go just as smoothly as the one I just had.
