A/N: Thanks for the reviews. :)

"Bye, Mommy! Don't forget about me!"

Lisa smiled as she looked down at Elli, who had her arms wrapped tightly around her mother's knees.

"How could I forget about my angel?"

Sutton walked over carrying Lisa's luggage and brushed his lips against Lisa's. He was smiling, but his eyes seemed worried.

"Are you sure you have everything? Did you pack enough clothing? Will you be warm enough?"

"Sutton, I'll be fine. I've got everything I need. Besides, it's not like I've never been to…" Lisa trailed off suddenly, realizing what she was about to reveal to Sutton.

"Never been to what?"

"Never been to…I mean, on, an airplane."

Sutton suddenly became very serious. "But…honey…it's New York. And you're going by yourself. I don't know…I don't know how safe this is."

"What's unsafe? It's a business trip. I'm going to be fine." As much as Lisa hated to lie to Sutton, the truth would probably only hurt him. She just hoped that he wouldn't call the company she worked for to check out this "business trip".

An announcement came over the loudspeaker. "Last call for boarding flight 137 to New York City."

"Well, that's me." Lisa gave Sutton and Elli one more hug and picked up her suitcase. Then, without looking back, she boarded the airplane.

The call that she had received two months ago still made her blood chill. Who was the mysterious caller? It certainly couldn't be Liz. Liz was dead. Those were the facts. Maybe, just maybe, it was a wrong number. Maybe they had said something about a "lane", not "Laine". But the number…how on earth could it be Liz's number?

Lisa had pondered these questions for six weeks before making the decision to go and find the answers herself. The only place to start, of course, was New York. And she clearly could only go by herself. There was no other choice. Sutton and Elli didn't need to know anything more than they already did. So Lisa planned everything out…and strangely, it all turned out exactly as planned. Sutton and Elli thought she was going to a conference. Her boss and coworkers thought that she was taking a vacation. Lisa was certain that she had covered all the bases.

Now there's only one thing left, she thought as the plane took off for her hometown. To get to the bottom of this.
