"sammy you can handle this case. the parents of the missing girl are in conference room number 12. now get a move on it!" cody said as soon as i walked through the door, he handed me a file before i walked into conference room number 12. a tall man about 8 or 9 years older than casey, and a women about 6 or 7 years older than me, stood to greet me when i entered the room.

"im sorry if i kept you waiting, i forgot about coming in today..." i apologized,

"no weve only been here for about a 1/2 hour..." the man said, he seemed to be staring at me. i sat down across from them,

"so how long has," i looked down at the file, "tanya been missing?" i asked,

"36 hours,"

"well why didnt you tell someone when you noticed her lost?" i exclaimed,

"because she said she was at a friends house for a sleepover!" she yelled, the man whispered something in her ear as my phone buzzed,

i giggled, hes so dramatic,

"im sorry. i didnt mean to yell...this has just been so hard on me." she apologized,

"its fine. has she been acting strange lately?" i inquired,

"a bit. she was very strange one night about 2 months ago. she was home alone, because we were out at dinner. she was with a group of friends, that night, when we got home, all her friends were gone except for one boy, who she the next day claimed was her boyfriend. his name is bryan monte. thats about all though..." i nodded, and my phone buzzed again,

i smiled, he was so sweet. but he was right...i wouldnt see him till tomorrow probably.

i already knew what he'd say,

plzzzzzzzzzzzzz and i even said plz...

i rolled my eyes,

ttyl case. luv ya.

i looked on her laptop and found papers that she seemed to have written for school...but none of them were her subjects. i also found out from her email that she had a boyfriend named bryan marsun...

i drove to the boyfriends house and rang the doorbell. he opened the door and looked me over,

"yeah?"

"im sammy keyes and im with the police. im looking for information on tanya micheall." he glanced backwards and stepped outside with me, "do you know where she is?" i asked, he shook his head,

"look, she hasnt been here in days. the last time she was here, she gave me a bunch of papers for, um, school." i rolled my eyes,

"i already know that she wrietes papers for you guys, so please dont lie to me. do you honestly not know where she is?" he glanced backwards, "why do you keep looking backwards, huh?"

"look," he sternly said, "i dont know where she is! ok?" he started to walk back inside but i blocked his way,

"whos in there with you?"

"just a friend now please! im busy right now and i need you to leave. right now!" he yelled, i glared at him,

"im watching you bryan. if i find out your involved with her in something, you can go to jail." i spun on my heels and went back to my office where i plopped down in the chair in the office room, i rubbed my temples as someone knocked on the door.

"go ahead, come on in." the door opened and i felt someone put their arms around my neck.

"hey babe. you still up to going out?" oh no! i totally forgot about casey. cody popped in,

"he wanted to come see you dont blame me. you get 2 hours for break. starting...now!" casey closed my folder and pulled me out of my chair,

"come on. you most definatly need a break." i groaned as he pulled me into my office. i flopped down onto my work chair and rested my elbows on my desk. i rubbed my temples and casey walked around my desk and pulled me into his lap. i turned and buried my face into his shirt, his lips grazed mine, and i pulled his face back down and kissed him more.

"casey... can we go get something to eat?" i asked, he rested his hand on her forehead as she yawned,

"ok lets go. what do you want to eat?" he asked, i rested my head on his chest.

"i dont care. how about...pasta?" i looked up at him, and he nodded. i slid off his lap and he stood up next to me. his arm slid around my waist and lead me to his car, unfortunatly, melissa and tony stopped us,

"where are you going? you need to find my daughter!"

"im going to lunch. it is my break and i wont be able to find anything out if im this tired." i replied, and let casey lead me towards his car. after lunch, he took me back to the office and i started to search 'tanya micheall' but he stopped me,

"sammy you're working to much." i shrugged,

"sorry. i gotta find this girl though! so you gotta let me work. ill see you at home tonight ok?" i kissed his lips quickly before entering the search. drugs? hmmm...i found her parents,

"whose your local docter?" i asked, they gave me a name, dr. boris. i drove to his hospital and found him,

"hello my name is sammy keyes and im looking for tanya micheall? one of your patients? she seemed to be on drugs and i was wondering if she came here at all recently?" he nodded,

"yeah she was here recently...i warned her to stop but she insisted she was fine. i was checking her, and i told her that her baby was going to get really sick if she didnt stop."

"baby?" i asked,

"yup. she didnt even know until i told her. gave her the name of a good ultrascanner and she never came back after that."

"so... shes pregnant?" he nodded,

"got that right little lady."

"can i have the name of the ultrascanner you recommended?" he nodded and rummaged threw his desk. finally, he handed me a card.

"thank you SO much. youve been a big help."

"any time little lady. any time." he said i walked off.
