This chapter, yeah, it's kinda boring, but you have to know what's going on
back in the real world sometime. I figured that time should be now.
Chapter 3: Back on the Ranch
"Any news of her?" Mrs. Anderson asked. It had been 8 weeks now, and she wanted answers. As far as she and her husband had been informed, her daughter was missing for reasons unknown, and therefore, someone had to be lying. Most likely the kids, Ryan, Kat and Mike, but why would they assist a crime like that? They seemed like good kids, but this story was ridiculous. She put on a little silver ring and vanished without a trace? The only time she had ever heard of anything like that, she had been reading Lord of the Rings, and she was positive her daughter hadn't pulled a Bilbo Baggins. At least, she hoped.
"No, ma'am...but we're still waiting for the reply from France. 6 countries are on the lookout. We believe she was abducted, and has not been seen in the 50 states. I apologize, but it's the best we can do for now." Officer Roberts answered.
Mr. Anderson was still convinced that he was living in an alternate universe, not knowing he was all too correct. He thought, "This is impossible. My daughter is NOT trapped in some fantastical book-world. It just doesn't happen to normal people."
Little did he know he was the closest out of the three of them to actually being right.
"We're on constant watch, ma'am, sir. I really, truly grieve for you. Not, grieve, as in, she's, well, I'm sorry. I really am." Officer Roberts said, and then saw herself out.
