Moshi-mosih! I'm back sooner then I expected…I was going to wait till I got 50 reviews, but I have 54! Go me! So thanks all of those who reviewed, and you have been spared from Mr. Sniffles. FOR NOW!

I do not own these characters or the song Somewhere by Within Temptations. It makes me cry that song. ;; BOLD is the lyrics to the song by the way.

This chapter is dedicated to Lydia.

This is one day before I left off. So it's going back in time, got it?

Carl walked down the steps and headed for the front door. "I'm going out," he informed his mother. But like she had been doing for the last couple of days, she did nothing. Just stared at the phone, waiting for some call. Carl said nothing more and left the house. He walked aimlessly around for sometime, but found himself drawn to the park he was at the day he yelled at Hoodsie.

Lost in the darkness, hoping for a sign
instead there is only silence;
Can't you hear my screams...?
Never stop hoping,
Need to know where you are
But one thing is for sure,
You're always in my heart

The park was pretty much deserted. There was a couple of families there having picnics, just spending time together. He says a young boy and a girl who were obviously brother and sister because they looked so much alike. "Josh, stop it!" the girl ordered her brother after he tackled her. "Mom, Josh is annoying me!"

Carl smiled at his sight. It reminded him of when both he and Ginger were younger and they would still play together. But over the years they had grown farther apart. Things became more complicated as they got older and their interests grew farther apart. A sudden sting of pain pierced his heart. As much as he tried not to, all he could think about his sister and where she might be. If he could have anything in the world was for to know where she was right now.

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened,
The Truth will free my soul.

The two kids caught Carl watching them. They waved at him. Carl just smirked and continued on his walking. He once again stopped at the lake. Sitting at the edge, Carl began to pull out grass blades and scattering them back onto the ground. "Where the hell are you Ginger?" he asked out loud as if she could hear him. For a second he waited for an answer, straining to hear her voice.

Lost in the darkness, try to find your way home
I want to embrace you and never let you go
Almost hope you're in heaven so no one can hurt your soul...
Living in agony 'cause I just do not know
Where you are

Carl pulled his knees up and rested his head on them, staring into the dark water. He didn't want to admit it, but he knew that Ginger was gone. That she would never be coming home. The other half his mind told him that there was still hope. Maybe she was just doing this on purpose. When he gets home she would be sitting on the couch, watching TV. Mom would be in the kitchen, just about to yell at him after she found his latest experiment in the refrigerator.

His Mom was gone too. Their little family was just as lost as he felt. He had come here to find his sister, because he felt like she was here. He could feel her footsteps.

Carl got up to get some rocks to throw at the water. He had always enjoyed doing this with Ginger when they were younger. This was the place where they went every time their parents fought. They would spend hour's just throwing rocks in the water. No words exchanged, but they both knew what they were feeling.

So Carl stood there, chucking the stones into the water. Each time he threw the farther and harder. "Where." Plunk! "Are." Plunk! "You!" Plunk! He stood in place, breathing heavily. "Damn it. Out of rocks," he mumbled to himself.

Little did he know that he was closer to his sister then he thought.

He began to wonder how long he had been gone. Surely his mom would start to worry. That is, if she even noticed that he was gone. Just before he left, he spotted a wild flower standing right beside his shoe. Carl picked it out of the ground.

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened,
The Truth will free my soul.

Carl plucked the flowered part of the stem, and dropped it above the lake. Gracefully, the flower head drifted down onto the surface of the lake. He watched is floating there for a moment, and then decided it was time to leave.

Carl thought that he had come to this park to find Ginger, or was it that Ginger had come to find him?

Wherever you are, I won't stop searching.
Whatever it takes, I need to know

Ok now it is where I had left off from the last chapter. This is the next day. Does everyone understand?

"Where is she? Where is Ginger?" Mrs. Foutley yelled into the phone. There was a pause of silence. "Hello?"

"Mrs. Foutley, you might want to sit down."

"Where is she?" Mrs. Foutley asked again. "Where is my daughter?"

"Mrs. Foutley, we found Ginger when we were looking in the park-."

"Is she alright? When is she coming home?" Mrs. Foutley cut in.

The police officer stopped talking. "A group of teens found her body washed up in the shallow end of the lake at a park." Mrs. Foutley almost dropped the phone. She sat there looking agape.

"Are you sure it's her?"

"Nothing is for certain," the police said, trying to offer some hope. "But we need you to come down and identify the body. And maybe take a DNA test just to make sure." Mrs. Foutley nodded, even though the officer couldn't see it, and hung up the phone.

Carl stood in the doorway of the living, watching his mother go into a silent break down. For a moment Mrs. Foutley has left this world, but the next she got up and went to get her car keys. "Who was that?" Carl asked as she walked past him. She didn't answer. "Where are you going?" Again he was ignored.

Carl fallowed Mrs. Foutley out to the car. "Where are you going?" Mrs. Foutley started up the car. "That was the police wasn't it?"

She froze staring at her son through the window. "You stay home." And she drove off to the see if her daughter had been found and if Ginger was really dead. Carl stood by himself, watching his mother drive away.

I'll find you somewhere
I'll keep on trying until my dying day
I just need to know whatever has happened,
The Truth will free my soul

And that is where it ends. Ok this chapter latterly sucked, so I would like to apologize to yall. I don't know, I just felt like doing this. I love this song and I don't know… I guess it's just that I thought maybe that's how he would have felt about his sister being gone… God damn it now I am crying. Stupid song, why must you make me cry…REVIEW NOW…. I miss Mr. Sniffles now too. Again, sorry for the sucky update and if you were confused at all.
