Chapter 23
When Sam said that they were going to begin searching at sunrise, he meant it. At 5 a.m. he called Luis to make sure that he was going to help out. Then he woke up Fox. He was going to wake up Miguel, but he didn't have to. Miguel was waiting for Sam and the others to get ready. Ivy made them all a big breakfast and made sure they ate as much as they could.
"If you going to be searching all day, I don't want it to be on an empty stomach." She said. "Make sure you all come home for lunch at noon."
"Yes, dear." Sam said before kissing her on her forehead.
"Good luck!" Pilar said.
They decided to split up so they could cover more area. Sam would check out wooded areas and open areas with Miguel while Fox checked shelters that they may have left her. Luis went into the part of Harmony where no good kids or punks lived. Ethan would take the Crane helicopter and fly over all of Harmony and search.
"Any luck yet?" Sam asked Miguel.
"No. You?"
"No, but don't worry we'll find her."
"I hope so." Miguel thought.
Fox was looking at every shelter he could think of. He showed Kay's picture to everyone, but no one had seen her. He was starting to think that they would never find her. Ethan was flying all over Harmony, but like Fox he wasn't having any luck.
Luis was walking through the bad area of Harmony when two guys approached him.
"Hey Sucka! What you doin here?"
"Yeah. What you lookin for?"
"I'm just looking for a girl."
"Oh why didn't you say so. Hey Rosie!" They man called over a girl.
"Here's Rosie. 150$ an hour."
"You have it all wrong. I'm searching for a missing teenager. Have you seen her?" He asked pulling out her picture.
"No." The first man said.
"Nope." The second man then said.
Rosie was looking at the picture and then said, "I think I've seen her."
"Where?" Luis said getting excited.
"She was in a blue pick up truck passing through."
"Which way?"
"That way." She said pointing in the opposite direction of Harmony.
"You sure it was this girl?"
"Positive. I never forget a face. She didn't look like one of us."
"Thank you so much!" Luis said giving Rosie a kiss and a hug.
"No problem, sugar."
Luis got out of that neighborhood and contacted the other's on his walkie talkie.
"Sam, Miguel, Fox, Ethan! I've got some news. Are you guys there?" Luis asked.
"We're here." Sam said.
"I'm here." Fox said.
"Listening." Said Ethan.
"Okay. I found out that a couple of people say Kay in that blue pick up truck driving out of Harmony. In the opposite direction."
"Okay. We have a lead now." Sam began. "Ethan can you get outside of Harmony right now?"
"Yeah, Dad. I'm right about out."
"Okay, good. Fox, Luis, meet me and Miguel on 111th street. There we will decide our territory."
"Okay. I'm out." Said Fox.
"Alright." Luis said.
Ethan searched about 15 minutes before Luis, Sam, and the other's arrived outside of Harmony. But he still didn't find anything.
"Okay. Now we are going to split up again. Fox, could you ask some of the local people about the truck and Kay?"
"Of course. I'll be right on it."
"Good. Luis, I want you to drive around and try to find that pick up."
"Alright."
"Miguel, we'll search the grounds. Okay, let's go find my baby."
Fox had asked at least 20 local people about Kay and the pick up, but still found nothing. Luis wasn't so lucky in finding the car as he was about where the pick up was headed. Miguel and Sam had covered many yards and came up with absolutely nothing. They searched through swamps, woods, parks, everywhere they could think of.
Ethan was flying over an ally when he thought he might ave something.
"What the? I have to get closer." He moved in closer and said, "Oh my God!"
Back at the mansion. Ivy was getting worried because they had not come home for any lunch.
"I wonder if something has happened." Ivy said.
"Maybe they are having luck and don't want to leave yet." Pilar told her.
"I hope so."
Theresa was upstairs in her room getting dressed.
"Well, I can now put make up on to cover these bruises." she told herself. "I haven't seen Mama or anyone in two days, so it will be a good day unless....unless something bad happened to Kay. I won't think that though."
Theresa finished putting on her make up. She was happy with the results. Nobody could tell the bruises. She walked over to get Little Ethan from the nursery.
"There's mommy's boy!" Theresa said in baby talk. "Let's go see grandma. Okay? Okay!"
Theresa walked downstairs finding Ivy and Pilar sitting nervously.
"Oh Theresita! Have you heard?" Pilar asked.
"Yes, Mama. I hope they find her soon."
"Me too!" Ivy said. "Theresa, are you feeling better?"
"Oh much better! Why do I look sick?"
"Oh no! I was just wondering because you just came home from the hospital a few days ago."
"Oh I see. Could you both watch Little Ethan I want to call Whitney?"
"Of course." Pilar said.
"Ring, ring!"
"Hello?" Whitney answered.
"Whitney, have you heard the news?"
"About what?"
"Kay."
"What about Kay?"
"She's been kidnapped!" Theresa blurted out.
"Stop joking around!" Whitney said laughing.
"It's not a joke."
"Oh my God! I have to tell Simone."
"Listen the guys have gone searching for her, why don't you and Simone come over and we can talk about it. We're waiting for them to come back now."
"Okay. We'll be right over."
