Cory, Topanga and Katy (Maya's mom, for those of you who don't know) were at the police station waiting room. It had been 3 days since Riley and Maya had disappeared. The Police had called the three parents in for extra questioning. Cory was watching The Apprentice on the police station TV and Topanga and Katy were just sitting there.

"Mr. Matthews, Mrs. Matthews, Mrs. Hart, he chief would like to see you now." Said the secretary. The 3 parents walked into the office.

"Sit down, this won't take very long." The Cheif said. "Now before we begin, I would like to say that we are not ending this case here. This is a brand new missing persons case and we are simply just trying to see if the children were abducted or if they ran away from home. One last thing, we have had a series of very similar cases which we have concluded to be abduction. All we are trying to do with this meeting is to see if there are any possible connections between the cases. Very well?"

"Yes." The Three parents said at once.

"Ok so, we know that they were at a party that went late, and they were supposed to come home afterwards on the night of March 20th, 2017, correct?" There were no interjections, so the chief continued. "Mr. and Mrs. Matthews, was Riley happy at her home?"

"Yeah, she was always very happy." Cory said.

"Quite frankly she is the happiest person I know." Topanga added.

"Alright." The Chief said. "Mrs. Hart, was Maya happy at home."

"I don't know sir." Katy said. "Maya was never really what I would consider "Happy". It was so rare that I actually would see her truly happy. Most of the time she even seemed remotely happy was when she was with Riley. Luckily that was most of the time, but still, other than then she was never happy."

"There is a motive for running away." The Cheif said. "Maya felt unhappy with her life and decided to run away. She asked Riley to join her for companionship."

"So wait, you're saying that our girls ran away?" Said Cory.

"No." Replied The Chief. "This looks too much like an abduction case for us to say that, but we just want to see if a runaway is plausible. Thank you for your time." The three parents left the police station and headed home.

Cory and Topanga were silent on their way home. It was just part of their bereavement process. Topanga finally broke the silence while they were passing Trump towers exclaming "Wouldn't you like to live there some day?"

"Not one bit." Cory replied. "Not only do I hate president Trump, but I think Trump tower is, well, a dump."

"Ok, ok, I was just asking." Topanga responded. When Cory and Topanga arrived at their home, a hopeful Auggie stood at the door.

"Did they find Riley?" He asked.

"No honey." Topanga responded. "Their working on it"a distraught Auggie started to cry and ran to his room. "I hope they find our baby girl, Cory."

"Me too Topanga."
