Ray sat in her old office space, spinning around happily in her office chair. Dick placed down a file on her desk, "Are you even paying attention?" he scolded. Ray nodded and tilted her head.

"You've got a missing kid case," Ray fiddled with a pen, "It's a normal case, why me?"

"It's not just one kid missing, Race, there's around 15 missing."

"Wait, what?"

"No bodies have been found yet, and it's been exactly one month since the first kidnapping." Ray's heart dropped at the thought of all those missing children, digging up old memories she wished she had burned, she glanced up at her friend with fear in her eyes. "I thought, since you're so good with children and you've been through this situation before... Maybe you could-"

"No!" Ray shot up from her seat, "I-I can't! Not again! I'm sorry!" she was on the verge of tears.

"Rachel, please..."

"I want to help, Dick, I really do... But..."

"I know you're still scarred after what happened when you were 13..."

"I don't-"

"Ray, these kids need you. Please..." Ray was silent for a minute, her fist clenched and down at her sides, heart aching.

"I'll do it." She said confidently, "These kids, did they have anything in common?"

"They were all around the ages of 5-12." Ray began to write the information down, she picked up the file and flipped through the contents. A little girl with red hair and freckles, a boy with almond brown hair and blue eyes, and so many others.

"Jesus christ," the blonde gasped, "So many..." she twirled her pencil around in her fingers nervously and bit at her bottom lip. Other than the age range the children all had nothing in common; some of the children were catholic, some muslim, others atheists, a handful were Jewish, and another bunch were some denomination of the christian faith. There was nothing in common with the nationality of the children either.

Ray glanced at the clock, it was now 3:25 PM, she almost leapt out of her chair and fell, "Shit," she hissed, "I'm late! I'll be back!" she snatched her bag and ran out the building. Little did she know that Bill was following behind her...
