Chapter 3: The Phone Call
"What do you mean you don't know where she is?" Luke asked once again.

"When was the last time you saw her?" Jess questioned an almost hysterical Loralei.

"Um, ah, ah, around 4pm I think."

"Let's go inside. It's too cold out here." Jess suggested.

Luke and Jess both helped to support Loralei as they led her into the living room and onto the couch.

"What happened Loralei? Did you 2 have a fight? Was Rory ups-."

"She was annoyed because Tristan was getting on her nerves and I told her that she might just love him." Loralei rushed.

"RORY!!" Jess wandered out of the living room calling out Rory's name.

"How do you know she's gone? Have you even bothered to say check her room or even the bathroom?" Luke questioned.

"Women may spend a long time in the bathroom Luke, but not 4 HOURS Luke!" Loralei exclaimed. "It's called mothers intuition. I know when she's not here and she isn't here I assure you."

Jess wandered back into the living room. The two adults looked at him expectantly.

"Nup." Was the simple answer Jess gave them.

"Told you so."

"Don't 'told you so' me Loralei!" Luke warned.

"Get off each others throats would you?" Jess exclaimed.

"I need coffee!" Loralei whined.

Luke handed her one of the two coffees he had brought. She skulled down the entire styrofome cup full of coffee and put her hand out expectantly.

"Don't even think about it. No more coffee for you."

"Because that one's mine!" Jess scooped up the 2nd cup and sipped at the delicous coffee. "Not bad coffee Luke."

"Don't' call me LUKE!" Luke warned.

"I miss Rory!" Loralei whined.

"Where do you think she could be?" Luke Questioned Loralei.

"How would I know?"

"What happened to mother's intuition??"

"I'm a mother with mother's intuition not phsycic powers!" Loralei cried out.

"Look, why don't we ring around a bit and if we can't find any news of her then we'll just wait until tomorrow." Jess recommended.

"Ok." The adults replied in unison.

Just then the phone rang.
Soz bout the length of this chapter but I need to end it now cause the next chapter will be about what Rory and what she's been doing all this time..

As usual, please review.
