Logan woke up and rolled over, the sun was directly in his eyes. 'Beautiful day for a party' he thought, sitting up. Looking at his alarm clock, he noticed it was after eight. He was surprised that McKenzie hadn't been in waking him up earlier, she had been so excited the night before. Logan decided to get up rather than lay around, McKenzie's party was at eleven, and there was still all the food to take care of. He quickly showered and dressed, then left his room. Passing Max's room, Logan noticed she was sleeping. He wondered what time she had gotten to bed the night before, usually she was out quite late, but last night she had stayed in, and today she had taken the day off work for the party, although Normal hadn't thought it was a good excuse.
Logan continued down the hall to McKenzie's room. She had wanted to help with the food preparation, so he decided to wake her up. He opened the door to her room, and noticed she wasn't n her bed, but he wasn't concerned, because this happened often. Leaving the room, Logan went down the hall to the kitchen. She wasn't there either, so he figured she was either in the bathroom, or somewhere thinking.
He went over to the refrigerator, deciding to start breakfast. If he started some bacon, it would get both Max and McKenzie into the kitchen. As soon as it was cooking, Logan started cracking eggs for omelettes. Just as he was throwing the egg mixture on the pan, Max came up behind him.
"Morning, where's McKenzie?" she asked, picking up a fork to turn the bacon.
"I don't know, she was already up, she might be in the living room, admiring her decorations again."
"Ok, I'll go check." She left Logan turning the eggs and going over his mental list of what to make for the party. She came back about five minutes later.
"Are you sure McKenzie wasn't in her bed, because she's not in the living room, and I checked everywhere else, I can't find her."
"Are you sure?" Logan asked, turning away from the stove.
"Yes, I checked everywhere, I can't find her." Max's voice was starting to sound panicky, something Logan had never heard before. "I know, I'll check the roof, she likes going up there sometimes."
"Yeah, good idea." Logan said, going down the hall to McKenzie's bedroom. The bed was empty. He searched the entire room for any signs as to where she could have gone. Her bed was a mess, it had been slept in, he noticed no clothes were missing from her closet, neither was her jacket. Her stuffed rabbit he had given her the night before was still sitting on the bed. He was about to go over to the window when the smoke alarm went off, Logan quickly hurried back to the kitchen where he had forgotten the breakfast. Turning everything off, Logan threw the burnt frying pans in the sink, then went down the hall to his office. Sometimes McKenzie liked to hide out there.
"McKenzie, baby, are you in here?" he called. There was no answer. Suddenly Max was behind him.
"Logan, I know where she is!"
