The Missing Children
When Bridgette was talking to Duncan, she realized they had more in common than she originally thought. Duncan noticed that Bridgette was a lot more than just another blonde, if she could even be called that because of her personality. The food arrived, and that's when they realized the kids were...well, NOT THERE. "Ohmigod, Ms. Harrelson's going to KILL me!" Bridgette said, freaking out. Duncan put an arm around her shoulders. Bridgette's cheeks turned a light pink and she leaned her head onto his shoulder. No time for flirting, Bridgette! She scolded herself. You're in charge of two missing children whose mother is paying you.
"Okay, so where could they be?" Bridgette asked. Duncan looked around and pointed out the open door towards the freeway. "Jerk! I don't even want to THINK about that!" Bridgette said, removing his arm. Duncan shrugged. "Just the truth, Goldilocks." he replied. "You go that way, I'll go this way." Bridgette said. "If you see a kid keep them with you at all times."
Duncan agree. He went searching around everywhere, swearing under his breath. "Um...kid, come out." he tried. No response.
After searching for about an hour Duncan finally finished searching, and walked up to an empty booth where he saw Bridgette, who had lost her "tough" act and was now broken down into tears. "I can't believe how irresponsible I was. This is all my fault." she said. Duncan took her hand and held it in his own. "It'll be okay, I promise. We'll find them." She managed a smile. "We'd better. And I'm about ready to check the stinkin' freeway. Where could they even be?" That's when she looked over and saw their mother, sitting at a table, four seats away and winced.
Oh. Frickin'. CRAP!
