The cassette had shocked Ally. It had to be Michael's kidnapper. It just seemed so right. She ran through the cassette again. The guy seemed to be trying to make up things along the way. He didn't really know the answers to the questions. It seemed only reasonable that this guy was the kidnapper. Just thinking about Michael made Ally upset. She leaned back down onto her bed and started up at her blank ceiling. Having no idea what to do Ally wandered aimlessly around the upstairs. She stopped in front of a room. Not just any room, but Michael's room. She hesitated for a minute then went in. The room seemed so empty and lifeless. Everything was exactly the same as it had been before Michael left. She wandered into the room and let herself fall onto her brother's old bed. Now she was really starting to miss Michael. She decided to go downstairs to her mom and ask about the cassette.

Ally: (anxiously) Mom, the tape. Is it the guy that kidnapped Michael?

Mary: How did you get that tape?

Ally: It was in my room.

Mary: Oh. Were not sure if this guy is really Alex or not but the police are trying to find out. We don't want to jump to conclusions to fast.

Ally: (disappointed) Yeah I guess you're right.

She walked back up to her room. She really wanted to find Michael. 2 years was way to long to not know what happened to her brother. She wished that, that she could just see Michael. What was he like now? How had he changed? All of these questions needed to be answered. She picked up the phone in her room and called her friend, Amy. She needed to do something to get her mind off of Ally. Sure enough Ally and Amy decided to go to the local park and hang out. The park had gotten Ally's mind off of her brother. When Amy had to leave Ally wandered around her street. It was too early to go home and she didn't feel like going home and thinking about Michael. She walked by a few parks and saw some children playing and evening game of hide and seek. She walked past the school and walked pass some small fast food restaurants. People were generally in their houses, no one outside except a few stragglers. When she reached her road she walked to her house. It was such a small neighborhood, so quiet and plain. Nothing like disappearances ever happened around here. She walked up to her house, which seemed so abandoned. None of the lights were on except for the lights in the living room. She walked in and her mom and dad were talking.

Ally: Hey guys

Parents: Hey Ally

She smiled and went upstairs. She passed Michael's room again and this time had a flashback to when Michael was about 2.

~Flashback~

Michael: (Scared) Alwy can I sleep in your woom cause there is monsters in my woom.

Ally: Where are mommy and daddy?

Michael: They went to dinner and the babysister is on za couch.

Michael: Tank you Alwy. You're the best sister in the whole wide world.! What would I ever do wifout you?
