"What?" Jodi snapped angrily as the words came out of her brothers mouth.
"Betsy...she's gone. She's missing."
Jodi stood there for a moment, sitting down on the couch and thinking over what he had just said. Betsy...her Betsy...the Betsy she knew...missing?
Unlikely.
"What the hell do you mean she's missing? How do you even know?"
"I've been with her the past few days. We got really fucked up after moms party last night and I crashed out. When I woke up her entire place was turned upside down and she was gone."
"Did you check the jail yet? Most people you know seem to end up there. If you got that messed up last nigth she probably wandered out and got arrested."
"I'm serious Jo. I think something might have happened to her."
Jodi sighed, leaning back against the couch and putting her sore feet up on the coffee table. She really wasn't in the mood to deal with Anthony's whining as he came down. She knew both he and Betsy used. She disapproved of it completely. With the exception of pot, she naturally frowned upon cocaine and meth, and Betsy was a known crank user. If they got into this themselves, they were just going to have to deal with it.
"Look Ant, I'm sorry, but why don't you come back tomorrow. When you're not stoned." she crossed her arms.
"I'm not stoned!" he argued.
"What? Look at yourself! You're eyes are as red as the fucking devil, and I can see your pupils from a mile away. Not to mention smell you."
He rolled his eyes, sitting down on the couch before resting his head in his hands.
"Jo, please. I've been through a lot of shit already. You know that I wouldn't be coming here to you about this if it wasn't serious. I'm scared for her."
"Since when do you two even talk? You do realize she's a lesbian right?"
"It's not like that-no, I'm not doing this right now. Please. I'm really scared."
Jodi sighed.
"Fine. I'll talk to John about it. Now, if you don't mind, there is an internationally known celebrity in my kitchen. I'm not getting involved in your shit right now. Come back when you get it together."
She spun on her heel, storming back off to the kitchen. Anthony watched her high ponytail bounce as she stomped down the hallway, making her way to the kitchen.
"Everything alright?" John asked as she entered the room.
"Yeah. Everything's fine." Jodi plastered a fake smile on her face before folding her hands and turning to Sigourney.
"So, I made lunch. Dinings room right there if you don't remember. I'll be in there in a second."
"You sure you don't need any help sweetie?" Sigourney asked.
"No! You're our guest. You two just go wait out there I'll have the food out in a minute. There's a bottle of wine on the table. Help yourselves."
Both nodded before departing, leaving Jodi alone in the kitchen with the looming worry that Anthony just might be right.

"OLIVIA!"
Olivia spun around as Anthony came rushing towards her from across the street at her apartment.
"Anthony, how did you get my add-" she started to say but he cut her off swiftly.
"Liv I need your help." he panted, worry written all over his face.
"What? What's going on what's wrong?" she asked.
"Betsy! She's missing!"
"Betsy...the one who planned the wedding?"
"Well, that too. But she's gone!"
"What do you mean she's...okay how about we talk about this inside?"
Anthony put his hands on his head,looking around before following her up the stairs to her apartment.
As soon as she unlocked the door he ran inside rushing to her couch and sitting down before breaking down into tears.
Literal tears. Anthony Stanford. Crying. Unheard of.
Olivia watched him, not quite sure what to do. She sat beside him, putting an arm around him.
"It's all my fault. I was passed out. Drunk and high. When I woke up she was gone."
"...Are you sure she didn't just leave?"
"The entire apartment was turned upside down. And there was blood."
Olivia sighed, standing up.
"You know I have to report this Anthony."
He looked up, squinting his eyes.
"What? No! You can't! If you report this to the police whoever did it will find out."
"...Well, that's the point of telling the police Anthony. So that they can help. If you're worried about the drugs we can handle that."
"Olivia, you don't understand. I think it was the mob who did this. It had to be! There has to be someone in the police department working with them. I know it. Everything that happened before when Jodi was trying to get them out!"
She stopped to think about it. He had stumbled upon something. They had thought about it back when John and Jodi were having all that trouble with them back before the wedding. She knew they had been naïve in thinking it was over now. Anthony was onto something.
"Come with me now. I'm going to talk to Cragen then we'll stop by One PP."
"What? Why?"
"Because I believe you Anthony."

"Now that one is beautiful."
Jodi smiled as showed Sigourney the pictures from the wedding. It really was a pretty picture. Jodi was standing there, smiling pristenely in her gorgeous wedding gown while John stood with his arm around her waist, his lips pressed to her forehead.
"It is one of my favorites." Jodi smiled, turning the page.
John had disappeared somewhere in the house, which Jodi had expected him to do as soon as she pulled out the wedding album. International movie star or not, no man wanted to sit around and gush over wedding photos.
"So sorry I couldn't make it to the wedding. James had me at a luncheon with Zoe and Sam that day to discuss the plans for the sequel and I couldn't get away."
"He's making a sequel?"
"Well, when you have the highest-grossing film in all of history it's to be expected."
"Wow. Well hopefully I'll be on that red carpet for the premiere." Jodi winked.
"Sweetie you don't even need to ask. I thought we sent you an invite when it came out but I didn't see you there."
"Oh, I was a little busy at the time, I did catch it a few days later though. And quite a few times after that. Let me tell you I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire time."
"Hey, baby can we talk?"
Jodi and her guest turned around to find John standing in the doorway to the dining room.
"Excuse me." she smiled to Sigourney before standing up and pulling him into the kitchen.
"What's going on?" she snapped.
"I just got a call from Olivia. She said Betsy was missing."
Jodi rolled her eyes and snorting.
"Yeah Anthony came in here saying that. He's been stoned out of his mind I can tell. I wouldn't be surprised if he called 911 and told them Betsy was one fire."
"No, Jodi you don't understand..." John interuppted her.
"What?"
"They found Betsy. She was raped beaten. Almost killed. They found her in Brooklyn."
"Wait, what? By who?"
"Who do you think?"
