Jill sat on the bed and sobbed quietly in her hands. Sabrina patted her back.

''We'll find her Jill.''

''How? There's nothing in her room to tell us where she is and-''

''Hush, we'll do something.''

Kelly frowned at the sight of Jill. ''Did you search her mattress?''

''What?''

''The mattress! I hid everything in there!''

Jill started fumbling it nervously. Sabrina pushed her aside and took a pocket knife out of her jeans.

''As a matter of fact I did too.'' she muttered creating a narrow slit. She slipped her hand inside starting to look for something only she understood. She smiled as she pulled out a small school notebook. She wiped the cotton material off her hands and opened the first page.

''Hey! If this is Kris's diary then-'' protested Jill

''Shut up...'' said Kelly. ''If you want us to help her, we have to read it.''

Sabrina flipped through the pages like crazy. Sweat started to flow down her forehead as she found nothing. She let a low growl as she opened the last page. Last entry.

Meet Ann. Usual place. 12:00.

''Bingo!''

Kelly patted her shoulder. ''Bingo my ass. Where is this usual place?''

''Well... that... I dunno...''

''Then we're back to zero! Keep looking.''

''Yeah, yeah...''

''Jill, try to think... any place, anything. Sabrina come on! Faster!''

Sabrina grunted. ''I'm tryin'!

Jill patted her head with her palm. ''Anyplace, anyplace, anyplace...''

''Here!'' yelled Sabrina and pointed in an older entry.

Ann looks nice. She is the only one who understands me these days. Anyway, the money are good and it's not like I get tired just by carrying these little things. Haha... okay, tonight work, work work! Who knows! By the end of the year I might be able to get my own motorbike!

Sabrina ignored the rest and shook a little the notebook. A small piece of paper fell on her hand.

''Ann. Tonight. Be there. Set alarm.''

Was written inside with Kris' handwriting along with an address.

''Where is this?'' she asked Jill.

''I'll bring a map. Wait a sec.''

''No time. You got your mom's car keys?'' interfered Kelly.

''Keys?''

''Yeah, we're goin' there. We'll find it on the road. Gimme the map.''

Kelly turned to the door.

''What about me?'' asked Jill.

Sabrina looked at her. She was scared. They were all scared. She patted her back gently. ''Stay here. Look if you can find anything else in here. We'll call you from a booth later. Promise.''

''Sabrina no-''

''Jill we need you help!''

''Sabrina I can't just leave my sister and sit there, doing nothing!''

She cupped her face with both hands. ''Jill! Look at me!''

Jill bit deep into her lip and raised a pair of blue watery eyes to meet her friend's much darker gaze. It seemed somehow bottomless.

''Do you trust me?''

''Trust you?''

''Yeah, do you trust me?''

''I do but-''

''There is no ''but'' then. Believe in me. I'm gonna get her back. No matter what it takes.''

She turned her back and left. Kelly stopped right before she opened the door again and raised her eyebrows.

''Same goes for me, if anybody cares.'' she stated and left.

Sabrina raced to the car, a navy blue Pontiac Catalina Sedan 1965, Kelly hot on her heels. They opened the drivers door and both put a hand on the wheel.

''I drive.'' said Kelly.

''No I do.''

''And why?''

''Cause I'm the adult in here! Move it!''

She jumped on the seat and started the engine. A minute later it was warm enough to step on the gas pedal. And so she did.

Kris hugged herself and shifted trying to get more comfortable. Ann pointed the gun at her.

''Stay still. He'll be there soon. Then we'll know what to do with you.''

Kris looked at the floor. What a mess...

She sighed and tied her shoelaces. It was the only thing she could do. No one would ever bother to come for her.

''Say, Kelly, what's the speed limit here?''

''Hm... around 50, why?''

''I think I might have added a digit to that. Oh, dad would be mad as hell.''

''Your dad's a cop?''

She chuckled.''Pops was military. We traveled a lot, never stayed in one place to long. He was like crazy with speed limits.''

''Good luck explaining then.''

''On the other side... he might be proud. His only daughter going to kill herself, gah...''

''Do you really believe that we might-''

''Yeah, I do.''

''Left.''

''I'm left with what?''

''Take a left turn!''

''Oh.''

She took the turn with a sudden turn of the wheel and threw Kelly on the window.

''Hey, you nuts?''

''Sorry.''

''I was wondering...''

''Yeah?''

''Jill's mom... really slept through our yelling and didn't found that we stole her car?''

Sabrina winced and smirked.''I don't wanna know. She'll kill us.''

''Hey, why? We're going to find her daughter!''

''Whatever.''

She changed gear and stopped. Kelly nodded.

''We'll park here. There's a phone booth. Lets call Jill.''

Sabrina left the engine running in case they had to make a quick escape. She closed the door and picked the phone. She dialed the number and held her breath. She had no time for mistakes. At the time Kris' life might be in danger. Jill answered.

''Yes?''

''Bri here. Found anything?''

''Yeah, is Kelly here?''

Kelly leaned on Sabrina to hear better.

''I'm here.''

''Look, guys, seems like Kris spend the last six months taking some packages out of a warehouse and giving them to some people downtown. Sometimes stocking them in an apartment. She didn't know what they contained but I think it's obvious.''

''Drugs.'' muttered Sabrina and paused to let the blond girl continue.

''I'm almost sure. Now, look. My guess is she's at the warehouse. The last week she had some... unpleasant encounters and she thought of walking out. You know you can't just walk out of these things. Sabrina-''

''Look, sit tight. I'll call ya soon.''

She hanged on and looked at Kelly.

''Now what.''Asked the green eyed girl.

''I don't know. Let's go check at the warehouse.''

''Shouldn't we call the police first?''

''No. We'll look like idiots. We'll see what's happening and then call the cops. And when they come I'm outta here.''

''Excuse me?''

''Do you think I need any more trouble? They get me here with any kind of low life jerk they find and I'm back in jail.''

''And you're gonna run?''

''Exactly.''

Kris yelped in pain as a foot found its way to her abdomen. She curled into a ball and lay down. She peeked through her hands to see Ann kicking her again. She moaned as her back found a crate. Her body went limp.

Sabrina's shoulder jerked up in surprise, as the phone in the booth rang. Kelly picked it up.

''Hello?''

''Kelly? Is that you?''

''Yeah Jill, what?''

''These people... tell Sabrina these people are probably armed to the teeth.''

''Ow... Bri... trouble.''

Sabrina snapped her fingers at Kelly and pointed.

''Gimme the phone.''

She nodded as the girl passed her the device.

''Hey Jill. I know these guys are armed. Don't worry, okay?''

''Right... don't worry. Easy for you to say.''

''I wanna ask you somethin'. What happened six months ago that made Kris make such a huge mistake? She looks like a smart kid. I wonder how she got fooled like that.''

''Dad died.''

Sabrina looked at her feet and sighed. She closed the phone and headed for the

warehouse.

Hmm... I wanted to make a research. How many of you listen to music when writing, or reading? I'm really curious. Am I alone in the world?

Don't forget to review. It is the most precious gift for a writer. See ya on the next chapter.
