Hmm… how to get to the basement without breaking your little bones, dumpling? After a few minutes of deciding, she figured that she could throw the girl over her shoulder and bring her down while holding the railing. She set Kay in the ragged comfy chair and resituated her on her shoulder. Once she found that satisfactory, she slowly walked to the door and opened it, revealing an empty darkness that would haunt even the strongest of men.

Here we go, dumpling. School is in session.

Chapter 12: Chaos

Lucy was in a frenzy. Both her and Kevin had heard the dog bark and when they called out, Kay didn't answer. Rebecca had been on their minds and it seemed like they were right, although they hadn't seen her station wagon anywhere on the road.

"She must have switched cars," Kevin had said, panting and scared. His admission didn't really matter since they didn't know what car she had switched it with. There were three cars on the road at the moment; a blue Lincoln Town car going west and a black camaro and a tan mini-van going east.

"Go call the police," Kevin yelled as he ran towards the mini-van. He swore that he recognized the driver, but he got to it, the van was pulling into a driveway. It was their neighbor, Mrs. Henley and her daughter, Marie. Why didn't I know that, he thought as he turned back around and ran home. It had to be one of the other cars.

When he got back to the house, Lucy was on the phone with the police describing the cars they had seen. "Not the min-van, it was Mrs. Henley. I didn't make out the license plates either," he said to her, although he didn't think she completely registered it, even if she didn't tell the police about the mini-van.

Thankfully, the Glenoak police were aware that if Kay disappeared it wasn't a normal missing person, therefore meaning they didn't have to wait 24 hours. When Lucy got off the phone with the police, they had already sent an APB out on the two types of cars with suspicious drivers. Also by then, all the squad cars had Rebecca and Kay's descriptions.

Kevin paced around the kitchen as he and Lucy tried to figure out what to do. "Should we call her friends?"

Kevin looked up, "Yeah, I'll use my cell and you use the house phone. Maybe they know…" he said, knowing they wouldn't but it was something to do. Busy work, one might call it.

The police said that they would call them if they had a lead and told Kevin to stay calm until then. If he tried to find her, than he might go over an important detail in his haste and worry.

Because she only had a handful of friends, it took about 5 minutes total to call them all and ask if they had seen her. They didn't want to upset them so they only told Brooke and Andrew that she had gone missing. Both had said they would come over right away.

A few minutes later, they heard a siren come to the house. Lucy and Kevin looked at each other for a minute before rushing outside to greet the officer. They doubted that they had found Kay, but it didn't hurt to hope.

The officers had turned off the siren but left the car on with one man inside, supposedly to be near the radio in case something happened.

"Detective Kinkirk, Mrs. Kinkirk," the officer said. They shook his hand and waited silently for him to continue. "I'm Detective Underwood, California State Police. Can you point me to the crime scene?"

When they started towards the backyard, a few more State Police cars came and within minutes their yard was bustling with activity. They had shown the detective where she had been taken from and another officer blocked the area off with the yellow police tape.

"Did you call her friends to make sure this wasn't a prank?" he said.

"Yes, we did that. Oh, I didn't call the family," Lucy said and excused herself to do that. She walked in the house and immediately went to the phone but before she could get there, so looked down and saw one of Kay's shoes. Tears formed at her eyes. "My baby…" she cried and started weeping. Emotion shook her for nearly five minutes before she understood that it wasn't helping. "I need to call the family. I need to do this for her sake."

Outside, unaware of his wife's condition, and more concerned with his daughter's, Kevin told the officer everything that he knew. The man nodded when Kevin was finished and kept silent for a few moments. Then he shook his head and said, "I may have something, although I'm not sure that it relates. A few days ago, we got a call from over on George Street. A neighbor said that she saw lights in an abandoned house and there was a car parked in front of it. The description matches one of the cars you spotted…"

Before the man coud finish, Kevin bolted to the house and slammed open the door. Lucy was waiting for an answer to her second call, which happened to be Matt's house. She shot her eyes over to him after she heard the door and before she could register him, Kevin grabbed the phone from her and hung it up.

Lucy was about to protest but Kevin waved his hand up to silence her and she kept her mouth shut. Apparently, he had something.

A few moments later, he said, "Marge, get the file from George Street right now. Everything from the last month. I'll be there in ten minutes and I want it ready when I get in the door. Bye." He hung the phone up again, kissed Lucy on the cheek, said, "I've got something, but keep calling everyone," and headed for the door.

Lucy was still in a state of minimal shock when the officer that talked to her outside made a noise indicating that he had been listening and said, "I could have given him the file."

Savannah and Rob were sitting in her car at the park in front of Glenoak Community College. He went there and Savannah was starting to consider it. UCLA was her choice but her poor grades in French might stand in her way of her dream. Therefore, she decided to look at GCC, just in case she didn't get it.

I would be kinda nice to go somewhere around here, since Kay and I are acting more like sisters. She leaned back against the seat and felt the cool air seep into the car from the rain. They were going to check the campus out but they wanted to wait until the rain died down a bit.

"So, I don't think it's going to get any better," Rob said finally. He was looking over at her but she was staring into space.

"Yeah," she said, distracted. She had just gotten the weirdest feeling in the pit of her stomach but she couldn't say what it was about. Just as she was about to say something else, her phone rang. She gave Rob a Well, what do you know? kind of look and answered her phone before her ring tone could finish saying, "She's just the girl I'm looking for."

"Hello," she said.

"Sweetheart, where are you?"

"Mom?"

"Honey, where… are… you?"

"I'm at GCC with Rob, why? What's wrong?"

"Sweetie," she heard her mother say before she heard crying. Her mother pushed the phone away from her mouth so the crying couldn't be heard as loud. But when she did that, Savannah could hear men talking in the background.

"Mom? Mom, what's going on? Who are those people?" Worry and a few drops of tears were starting to fill her eyes and when she quickly reached over for Rob's hand, he squeezed hers in return.

"She got her." Lucy choked out.

Savannah's breath caught in her chest and for a minute she thought she was going to pass out. The moment passed but the feeling stayed. She started crying in jagged, harsh sobs and she felt the phone leave her hand. Rob had taken it and she vaguely her him say, "We're coming," and hand up the phone.

"They'll find her, baby," he said and tossed the phone in her lap. Quickly, he turned the engine on and made his way to the road. The radio was on, but neither of them heard it. They'll find her.

So sorry about the wait. School started and I was really busy with that stuff. I was going to do it Saturday but I went shopping and on Sunday my dog died. But I got it now and I promise at least one more by Thursday. Then you might have to wait until Sunday. Sorry. The next chapter will answer any questions, so if you have them ask them. I know this chapter's weird and off but I'm distracted. Mother Dearest will be updated tomorrow.Review please!
