"Life is an ugly, awful place not to have a best friend." Sarah Dessen (Someone Like You 'Book')
~*~*~
"Hermione, we got a call from the investigator." Draco looked at her.
"What's his name again?" She looked at her fiancé as they began to walk out of the studio.
"Danny." Draco looked at the paper. "Anyway, he really needs to talk to my parent's and us."
"Okay. Let's go." Hermione got into the car as the driver drove to the station.
~*~*~*~
"Is there any information on the missing child?" Danny looked around the station. It was very hectic.
"I think I've got a trace to something." One of them yelled.
Hermione and the rest walked into the station.
"Any information on my daughter?" Hermione looked at him eagerly.
"No." He shook his head. "I'm sorry but she disappeared without a trace."
"You are supposed to be professionals." She looked at him.
"I'd like to ask you and your family some questions." He looked at Lucius and Narcissa who was standing behind Draco and Hermione.
"Okay."
"Please follow me." He led them into a room.
"These are Sadie's grandparent's Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy." Hermione introduced.
"Mr. Malfoy do you have any reason to believe that your granddaughters disappearance has something to do with an enemy of some sort."
"I would find that impossible. First of all no one knows about me having a granddaughter and the same goes for my wife."
"I see." He wrote something on the paper. "What about you Mr. Malfoy." He looked at Draco.
"Call me Draco." He looked at him. "No, not that I can state anything."
"Ms. Granger you are the closest person to your daughter would taking her away from you be the most painful thing that could ever happen to you."
"You don't even have to ask the question, of course. She's my child any mother. . ."
"Okay." He cut. "Do you know anyone who would want to hurt you or get back at you or anything."
"Yes. My Aunt Gracie." Hermione nodded her head.
"Is that the same Gracie Granger yesterday?"
"Yes." Hermione nodded her head.
"Okay. I'll look her up again and try to get her on the phone." He looked at Hermione and the rest. "Maica!"
~*~*~*~
"You. I should've figured you were behind all this." Sadie sneered.
"Clever child."
"What to you want from me GRACIE!" She yelled.
"She's a woman!" Arthur looked at her.
"Last time I checked." Sadie rolled her eyes. "Why did you have a transplant?"
"You stupid fool." She shook her head. "Of course, I'm a woman."
"But you didn't say anything when I called you sir."
"It was good for my cover up." She removed her jacket completely and threw it at Arthur.
"You think you can get away with this?" Sadie shot a look at her. "Man, you're dumber than I thought."
"You better watch it kid."
"So everything you did for me it was all an act."
"We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your mother and of course your stupid mouth." She slapped the girl hard across the face. "And now you are going to suffer the consequences."
"Oh, I am so scared." Sadie mocked.
"I am going to hurt you so much that by the time your mother touches you she will feel all the pain that you had to go through." Gracie laughed.
"I'm shaking." She tested.
Gracie took out her wand and began to mumble something pointing it toward Sadie.
"AAHHHHHHH!!!"
~*~*~*~
Two days Later
"So they really can't find Gracie anywhere?" Anne looked up at the detective. She arrived from London two nights ago.
"We've searched everywhere and she's now become our number one suspect sue to her disappearance." Danny's phone began to ring. "Excuse me."
"Danny." He answered. "Yes. Where?. . . Are you sure? Height?. . . Hair color? Everything seems to be positive. . . send me the exact location. . . we'll be there in half an hour."
The group looked at Danny.
"Any news?" Narcissa asked hopeful.
He looked down and began to speak, "Age fourteen to sixteen, height about 5'5 to 5'7, hair color hazelnut, small figure that is Sadie right?"
"Yes." Hermione nodded.
"In a creek not far from here they. . . they found a body of a female positive to all of Sadie's descriptions."
"Oh my god." Hermione put her hand in her mouth. "No, it can't be true."
Narcissa began to cry on Lucius' shoulder.
"Ms. Granger." Danny looked at her sympathetically as he began to reach for her shoulder.
"Don't touch me." She cringed and turned to Draco and her mother who were now crying as well. Hermione put her other hand on top of her mouth. "Mom, she's not. Oh please mom." Anne walked to her daughter and tried to comfort her. "My baby." She collapsed on the floor crying her heart out.
"Hermione." Anne rocked her daughter back and forth as they sat on the floor.
"Ms. Granger it hasn't been confirmed yet. We need to go to the creek and see if it is in fact her body." He looked at them.
"What is the percentage that it is not her?" Draco looked at him.
"Fifteen maybe twenty percent that it is not her. There is another girl who has similar descriptions as your daughter but she's all the way from New Jersey."
Hermione could not bear to listen as the man gave the percentage that her daughter would be that body.
"Sadie." Hermione continued to cry. "Why?" She looked at the ceiling. "Why Sadie? Why my baby? She never did anything to deserve this!!!"
"Hermione calm down."
"Would you like to have us sedate her?" He looked Anne.
Hermione continued to cry and yell.
"It would be for the best." Anne nodded.
Danny went to call the nurse in the station.
~*~*~*~
Sadie's friends continued to watch the news from Crystal's house.
"You guys news on Sadie." Crystal shushed them.
"Good afternoon I am Hoyden Lurie for the latest news." The man nodded. "Earlier this afternoon a body near a creek somewhere was found. All the descriptions were positive as to the missing teenager Samantha Granger."
"Oh my god." Crystal turned to the others. "It's not Sadie. Please don't let it be Sadie."
The other girls tried to comfort their friend knowing how close she was to Sadie.
"No." Crystal shook her head. "It's not Sadie."
"The body will soon be identified by the victims mother, Hermione Granger owner of HG Production Company, who will confirm if the body is in fact that of her fifteen year old daughters. More later, have a good afternoon."
The girls continued to cry on each other's shoulders. Crystal began to hyperventilate.
"Her asthma!" Megz shrieked call Amanda she turned to Jamie and Laura who ran to the maid. "Isabel let her head rest on your lap."
"Are you sure?" Isabel looked at Crystal worriedly.
"No." Megz shook her head between her tears.
"Crystal." Her nanny brought in the machine and gently put the mask over her face.
~*~*~*~
Hermione phone began to ring and Anne answered it for her daughter.
"It's Sadie's friend." Anne looked at her daughter. "Crystal, she's had an asthma attack."
"Is she alright?" Was all Hermione asked.
"They got her on the mask. They'll be watching her health from here on."
Hermione nodded her head.
"Ms. Granger only two people can come to identify the body." Danny looked at her.
"Draco." She looked at him.
"Okay."
"Let's go."
The three drove to the scene.
"Where's the body?" Danny looked at them.
"Over there by the ambulance you guys came just in time." The officer looked at them.
"Detective Danny." He showed his badge to the man. "Can we please see the body?"
The man nodded his head and began to unzip the plastic thingy as Hermione shut her eyes.
"It may be hard to really see if it's her the body pretty bloated up. It's been there for about two to three days." He finally opened it completely.
Hermione slowly opened her eyes because Draco loosened his grip.
"Oh my god." Hermione began to cry. "Oh thank God it's not her." She covered her mouth again. "Draco it's not her. My baby's still alive."
"I know." Draco nodded and put his arms around her.
"It's not her." She shook her head feeling a great sense of relief over coming her. "It's not Sadie."
"Thank you, sir." Danny shook the man's and they were on their way back to the mansion.
~*~*~*~
Sadie groggily opened her eyes as the afternoon sunlight hit her face.
"Ow. My head." The first person she saw was Arthur who was holding out a glass of cold water. She took it. "Thank you."
"So you've finally awakened you are weaker than I thought. I only performed the Cruciatus on you. You would die in an instant if that were the Avada Kedavra. But I have other plans and ways to kill you." Gracie brought out a gun. "Funny while you been snoozing away for I don't know almost a day you've driven all your friends and parent's crazy. They found a body and thought it was yours, now that was a laugh."
"When are you going to set me free?" Sadie asked as the TV got louder.
"Gracie Granger is the number one suspect in the kidnap of Samantha Granger." The news reporter spoke up as Gracie's picture came out.
"Doesn't look like I'll be here long."
"With the band around your ankle and mine." Gracie showed a black band similar to Sadie's. "They'll never find you or me."
"I need to go to the bathroom again." She looked at them.
"The toilets broken." Arthur looked at them.
"I need to go number two like right now." Sadie looked at them.
"I can bring her to the store downstairs." Arthur said.
"Fool! Then everyone will see her."
"I can wear a cap and shades." Sadie said. "Unless of course you want me to take a crap here."
"Go down!" Gracie ordered.
"You'll need to take off my ropes of course. You don't want anyone to think I'm kidnapped do you?"
"Fine." Gracie shook her head in frustration. "Arthur, take off the stupid ropes."
"Yes, ma'am."
Finally after twenty minutes Sadie was ready to go down.
"You are not to remove any anything on your head do I make myself clear?"
"Sheesh! If you don't want me to go away how come you're not coming down to make sure I don't run off?"
"Because a lot of people are looking for me and I need to stay out for at least twenty four hours." Gracie rolled her eyes and looked back at the TV.
"Whatever." Sadie rolled her eyes.
~*~*~*~
Arthur and Sadie got down stairs at the store.
"It's locked." Sadie complained.
"Go get the key at the counter." Arthur pointed.
"Okay." She looked back at Arthur who was completely absorbed with the Playboy Magazine.
"Can I please have the key to the bathroom?" She asked loudly causing Arthur to look at her. "And paper and pen." She whispered. "But don't let that idiot over there see, okay?"
The man looked at Sadie suspiciously and handed her the stuff.
Sadie walked into the bathroom and began to write a note.
"Hurry up!!" Arthur knocked on the door.
"I'll be right out." Sadie replied nervously, her hands were shaking.
She walked out of the bathroom and Arthur looked up from the magazine.
"I'll just return this." She showed him the key. She walked back to the counter. "Call the police please, the note says everything." She whispered quickly. And shakily handed him the note and the keys. He looked at her and she pretended to sneeze to let the glasses "accidentally" come off. "Don't say anything just help." She looked at him and slipped her glasses back on.
"Come on Dani." Arthur called her by the nickname Gracie told them to use.
"Coming Dad." She looked at the man behind the counter hopefully and walked back to Arthur.
~*~*~*~
The man, Bryan sat there in shock hen knew her face from somewhere.
'Call the police, the note says everything.' Her words continued to play in his head.
He quickly unraveled the note.
Please give this to my mom. . . her number is 2748639 the address is 14 Maple Ridge drive, ask for Hermione Granger. Tell them I'm at this building on the second floor second door to the right. Please tell them to hurry, call 911 if you have to.
Please help me,
Samantha Granger
PS. Give this to my mom and tell her I love her and that I'm fine.
And over her name she signed it with her Sadie signature.
Bryan didn't wait another second to run off. He quickly shut everything and ran to his destination knowing that it was only a few blocks away.
~*~*~*~
"Tie her up!" Gracie ordered. "Quickly now."
Sadie glared at her again.
"You better not have done anything funny." Gracie shook her head.
"How could I when your slave over here was watching my every move." Sadie answered smartly.
~*~*~*~
Bryan's heart was racing as he ran into the driveway of the address a car pulled over. He saw Hermione step out of the car.
"Can I help you?" Hermione looked at him.
"Your daughter." He panted her was out of breath. "Your. . . daughter."
"What about her?" Hermione looked at him.
"I. . . I. . . know where she is."
~*~*~*~
A/N: It's almost over. The case is almost solved and the story is almost finished. Oh well, this is tiring, eh? I'm sorry about the Crystal part I just needed to stall a little. I hope you liked this chapter.
Please don't forget to read and review and pray for the SARS victims!!
God bless and Peace! This is Kath signing off! See y'all later!
