*The chapters with Sid or Tobey' P.O.V. are going to be shorter since they're together, while Sue's chapters with her P.O.V. is going to be longer.
Chapter 3 *Tobey's P.O.V.*
I couldn't sleep at all that night. Tossing and turning and staring at the ceiling was all I did that night. Something told me that Sid was wrong, and Sue was in real trouble. And if she was, it was all my fault. I ruined her stuff and didn't respect it, now she was mad at me. It made my heart throb.
I couldn't take it anymore. I jumped down from the top bunk, careful not to wake Sid, and I went across the hall to Sue's room. Carefully, I opened the door, but no Sue. She wasn't home yet. I then put on my slippers, and I ran down the stairs, five at a time. I jumped over the balcony, and ran to the clock in the kitchen. It read 2:30 a.m. This made me so scared and worried, I ran back upstairs and threw on my clothes. Grabbing my phone, I kicked the bunk to wake up Sid. He groaned and chucked a pillow at my head. Ignoring him, I ran to Nana's room.
Shoving the door open, I yelled, "Nana! Wake up!" and ran to her and started pushing her, trying to wake her up. She sat up, and then looked at me nervously.
"I know, Sue hasn't come home yet. This worries me. Where is Sid?" she asked groggily. There was dark circles under her eyes, and I figured that she probably has been up all night like me.
"I tried waking him up, but he-" I was cut off by Sid's voice.
"I'm right here. Sorry I didn't wake up immediately. Let's go look for her." Sid said from the doorway of Nana's room. I started walking out, but Nana then spoke up.
"Hold on. If something happened to her, it's possible the same thing could happen to you two. I will come with you."
~Three Delivery~
We searched all over Chinatown, but couldn't find any trace of Sue. I didn't want to call off the search, but Nana told us we would look for her later when we were better rested up. Sid felt terrible, and thought that because he said she might have been pulling prank, we didn't look earlier. I told him repeatedly it wasn't his fault, but he didn't believe me and kept telling himself that it was his fault.
Nana called the police right when we got home. They said that they don't classify someone as 'missing' until twenty-four hours after reported missing. Sid asked why, and the officer simply said, "because, this could be a prank, and their just trying to scare us. Or they could just show up in a couple of hours."
"Nana, we have to find her! What if it's Kong Li?!" I shrieked. I was desperate to find Sue, and bring her home. I had a gut instinct that she was suffering. It killed me inside.
"Tobey, we did all we could for Sue. I want to find her too. We just have to wait." Nana said, then stared at the phone. It looked like she was wishing that it would ring, telling us that Sue was found, and she was alright.
I sighed, then an idea popped into my head. I ran upstairs to me and Sid's computer. Quickly, I turned it on, and filled the printer with paper. I found a picture of Sue, and I started typing up a 'MISSING' poster. When I finished, it had Sue's picture near the top of the paper, and it had written on it:
MISSING!!!

PLEASE HELP US!!! HER FAMILY IS WORRIED SICK, AND WANTS HER HOME SAFE AND SOUND!!!
Sighing, I leaned back in the chair as the "MISSING" posters printed. I picked up one, and was upset that I never got the chance to pick up the color ink. Black and white pictures aren't that great with the details of a person. But I hoped and begged someone would recognize the photo and call us.
I heard the door open, and saw Sid walk in. He picked up one of the posters, and smiled. "Good thinking buddy. If we don't hear anything by tomorrow, then we'll start hanging these up."
"Alright, I just hope we see her soon, and she'll be fine."
"So do I Tobey, so do I."
