"Sydney," I said collapsing onto the sidewalk crying.
"It'll be ok," Will said putting his arm around me.
"No it won't!" I bawled. "Who were they anyways?" I looked at Will with my eyes full of tears.
"One of them looked like the man from when I left my house for Oxford that night. The night I k- killed that man."
"Why'd they take Sydney?"
"I don't know," Will said sighing. "I was stupid! I should have just stayed at home. I could never have found my mom anyways," he said putting his head in his hands angrily.
"No, I should have just stayed back. If I'd have done that Syd wouldn't have followed along and gotten taken by, by those men," I said quietly. Kirjava padded up alongside Will and sat down.
"Will, Marina, it's already happened, we can't go back and change it. Just let it go. We need to find Sydney and Will's mom ok Marina?" Kirjava said evenly.
"It's not ok! We can't do anything to find them! We're just two stupid kids who had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. My sister is GONE! The last time I really talked to her, I told her I didn't want her here. I wanted her to just leave me alone. And now, she's gone!" Kirjava lifted her head and looked at me with heartbreaking amber eyes.
"What do you suggest we do then?" Kirjava stated.
"I don't know," I said.
"I propose we just go through the window. There's nothing we can do about Sydney really. We could call the police but then they'd question us and they might not even be able to find her. If we just go back into that window, we might be able to find out something about my mom, which might help us find Syd as well."

We went back through the house to the back yard and looked at the window helplessly.
"We have to go through," I said. "But I'd call too much attention to us."
"What can we do?" Will asked more to himself than to me. "Maybe. Oh I don't know," I exclaimed. "You had that angel. I have nothing."
"Maybe not," Will replied.
"It'll be ok," Will said putting his arm around me.
"No it won't!" I bawled. "Who were they anyways?" I looked at Will with my eyes full of tears.
