As Kelsey was surfing the internet, she decided to see what new news there was. When she went to wwww (Wizarding World Wide Web).dailyprophet.com, she saw an article- "Missing Malfoy". Feeling compelled, she clicked on it and saw a picture of the little girl that she had talked to in Perkins.

"Karissa Malfoy, also known as Kari, has been missing for over a week." The article stated, "Agent Starr Bright, a young Department of Missing Persons representative, has declined comment. She has informed us that Mr. and Mrs. Draco Malfoy decline to comment also…"

Kelsey couldn't help it. She rolled her eyes. This 'Calli Carter' was turning out to be almost as bad as that Rita Skeeter that everyone knew and hated.

But Starr was working a case? How was that? Starr had been in Kelsey's graduating class. They had never really been friends, but after they had defeated a giant in their sophomore year, they had reached a truce, of sorts. She would have thought Starr would at least write her to tell her that she'd finished her training and was now taking cases.

But let us not forget that Kelsey had information on Karissa. And Starr was working the case.

Looks like it's time for a little reunion. Kelsey thought with a smile. And, with that thought on her mind, she shut down her computer and thought of the Department of Missing Persons headquarters.

With a satisfied smirk, she Apparated to the headquarters.

"Miss Kendricks!" A surprised voice came from behind her.

"Stevens!" she said, a smile appearing on her face.

"What are you doing here, Kelsey? I'm pretty sure they told you, and I quote, 'If you walk out that door, Miss Kendricks, don't ever think about coming back and asking for a job!'"

"Oh, but Stevens, I'm not asking about a job. I wish to speak with Starr."

A look came over his face. He said in a strangled voice,

"What? As I recall, she was the reason you left."

"But you see, I have information that I think she would desperately love to have."

Stevens looked at her, his eyes narrowed, and his fat cheeks bulging. He was obviously trying to determine whether her information would be worth…

"If you want proof, here." She gave him the 'something' that Kari had given her. It turned out to be a diamond Malfoy crest, and-

"Where the hell did you get this?" He hissed, pulling her into an office. It just dawned on Kelsey what she had done. Now they might think she had kidnapped Karissa!

"She gave it to me." She said simply.

"What do you want? They'll give you anything to get her back." He said, resigned.

"Me? You mean you really think that I have kidnapped the kid? Come on, Stevens. I may be many things, but stupid isn't one of them."

"Thank God." He whispered. "I'd really hate to see you arrested, you know, Kendricks."

"I know, Stevens. I'd hate to see me arrested, too." She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"I'd watch it, Kel. You're skating on thin ice. Where did you get this?"

"I told you, you insufferable nitwit, that she gave it to me."

"Where did you see her?"

"At Perkins. You see, Stevens, unlike you, I actually do something."

"I do do things, Kel. Just because you can't appreciate the fine art of-"

"What? Sitting and watching television? You're right. I can't appreciate that fine art."

"Do you really want to be arrested, Kel? If not, I suggest you shut up."

Kelsey rolled her eyes, but held her tongue.

"When did you see them?"

"Two days ago."

"At a Perkins?"

"Yes. You can try…"

"A description, if you please."

"It was a couple. Kari kept calling the woman 'Auntie'. She had light hair, and…" she continued her description of the woman.

"They asked me if I attended Pigsmole, too."

"What? You stupid…"

"They think I'm a Muggle, you moron."

"I hope so. They're dangerous, Kel."

------------------

As Kelsey was walking to her car to drive to Perkins to work, she was hit over the head with some heavy object.

"I told you we should've gotten rid of her to begin with!" the man's voice said angrily. "Now they have an idea who we are."

"Well, they won't be able to figure it out." The woman answered him. They heaved the girl's unconscious body into the car and drove off.

------------------

"Mr. Malfoy! Mrs. Malfoy!" Starr shouted. They appeared in the study.

"Yes, Miss Bright?" Draco asked icily. He was tired of this woman failing to find his daughter.

"There has been a sighting of Kari. We got our information from an entirely credible source."

"Well?"

"We have a description, and…"

"Who is the credible source?" Ginny interrupted, curious.

"My sister."

"Your sister?" Draco asked, surprised. Starr didn't seem the type to have family. Draco thought that any family she might have had would have either gone crazy and killed themselves, or gone crazy and killed her. Either way, any family would have had someone's death involved.

"Yes. I do have family, Mr. Malfoy."

"Well, give us the description."

"I'm not allowed…"

"Damn it! The things you aren't allowed to do! What are you allowed to do? Run around naked yelling songs at the top of your lungs?"

"Well…" Starr began. "I guess there really isn't any rule against that, but I'm sure it would be frowned upon."

"I was joking." Draco muttered bitterly.

"Oh, lighten up, Mr. Malfoy. We'll get your daughter back."

"You better."

--------------------

Kelsey woke up, and was in a dark room. She rubbed her head. Man, she had a horrible headache. Wondering where she was, she sat up.

"Stay right where you are. Tell me who you are." A man's voice ordered.

"I'm Kelsey Kendricks. Who are you?"

With a smirk on his face, the man whispered in her ear and her eyes grew wide with each word he uttered.

----------------------

"Draco!" Ginny shouted. God, the man picked the worst possible times to disappear. Starr had told them that she'd tell them the description, and show them the pictures that had been drawn up, even if it was stepping horribly out of her boundaries. She could get fired for it, she had pointed out, but she was still willing to do it.

"Draco! Where are you?" Ginny yelled. When there was no answer, she became worried. What if something had happened to him? She walked up the many exhausting stairs to his room, to see if he was up there. When she reached the room and looked around at the green and silver walls, she noticed that he was not there.

She decided to look in her room. As her eyes surveyed the gold and red, she realized he was not in that room either.

"Damn it. Where is he?"

A piece of white parchment on her bed caught her eye. She walked into the room to pick it up, and noticed the Malfoy crest on the green seal that was keeping the parchment shut.

What's this? She wondered. Breaking the seal, she began skimming the note. When she finished, she let out a little squeal and fainted dead away.

---------------------

You know, the whole Kelsey thing was only supposed to be a few paragraphs long, but she demanded more time in the story, or else she'd quit. With such threats from the character, and Draco and Ginny refusing to work with me, I decided to allow her to blackmail me… this time…
Hehe…
Love ya!
