Chapter 3
Notifying the police
8:30 am
Scott stared at the plate before him, before promptly pushing it away.
"How am I going to tell mum"?
Dani sighed "I don't know". She could have said we don't know for sure if she's even missing, she could have told him kit was playing a joke. But she didn't want to hurt him even more than he was, this time she would just have to go along with it.
She watched him rub his eyes.
"I'm guessing you didn't sleep much last night".
"How could not I Dan? I spent most of the time picturing all these terrible things that could have happened to her. Little of the other time kicking the wall with frustration".
He looked at her tiredly, "I mean what if this is just another one of her mean scares like you and your family thinks"?
"Then ", said Dani carefully. " We'll just have to wait till she comes back, deal with it then move on".
He looked up at her and smiled. "You're amazing, did you know that"?
Dani blushed and fiddled with her hands, "Eat your breakfast".
****************
Alf Stewart watched with interest as Noah Lawson approached him.
"I need a favor".
The older man stared into Noah's eyes, "go on then".
"I need to borrow your car, I'd borrow Hayley's, but she's at uni".
He eyed him skeptically "What you need it for"?
"Kit hasn't been seen since yesterday afternoon".
"Ah troubled girl that one, wait one sec".
A moment later Alf threw him the keys.
"If you need a hand, just give a shout "
"Thanks Alf".
"No worries mate, just take care of her"
Noah nodded did he mean the car, or did he mean Kit?
Well if he meant Kit, then I've already failed

Late afternoon.......
Beth sat rigid in her chair.
"Since when"?
"Yesterday afternoon, it's been over 24 hours"
"Do you think she's missing"? She whispered to her son.
Scott looked to Dani then turned back to his mother.
"I don't know mum, but I think we should let the police know".
Beth took a deep breath.
"Ok".
****************
"Noah sit down, worrying is not going to help", said Flynn calmly
"Well I have to do something, Worry is all that's left, I've searched everywhere I can think of, I've asked around, what else I can do".
"Stay calm".
"How can I? She's missing "
"We don't know that".
Noah sighed "she was doing fine, she wasn't drinking, she went back to school, and I had to stuff it up for her".
"Stop It Noah, this isn't your fault and you know it".
Noah raked his hands through his hair, "I kissed her". He muttered.
Flynn's eyes widened.
"You kissed her"?
"I kissed her", He continued to pace back and forth. "I gave her the wrong idea".
Flynn leant back in his chair "Did you Noah"?
Noah's head shot up "What do you mean? Of course I did"
"I mean this has happened before Noah. You return her feelings don't you"?
Noah shoved his hands into his pocket. "What does it matter now anyway?"
