Imogen padded down the streets with Becky.
The girls were going shopping together, which made Imogen feel a little better, since she did love to shop.
"Oh, Immy look!" Becky barked, running up to a store window, where a light purple dress hung on a manikin. "This dress would look adorable on you!"
"I gues... But dresses are more your speed, not mine," Imogen replied.
"True, but I still think it would be adorable," Becky responded.
"Well..." Imogen trailed off. "I guess you have a point..."
The more she looked at the dress, the more Imogen seemed to like it.
"Come on then! Let's get it for ya," Becky said.
"Okay," Imogen chirped, as they went to enter the store.
When they got inside they got the light purple dress, paid for it, and then looked around at the other clothes.
However in the middle of their shopping, Becky had to use the bathroom.
"I'll be right back, Immy stay right here," Becky said.
"Becks... I'm not child," Imogen sighed.
"I know, but I need to make sure you're safe," Becky pointed out.
"Fine... I'll stay right here," Imogen muttered.
Becky smiled at her bestie and then went to the back of the store, where the bathroom was.
As soon as Becky was out of sight though, Imogen dashed to the front of the store, and went outside for
some fresh air.
"God... I wish she'd stop trying to protect me, I'm scared about what happened too, but I'm getting sick of always having someone around, it's like I am a child," Imogen thought.
Then suddenly, Imogen felt a hand cover her mouth from behind, and a voice said. "Don't even try to scream, or get away... Now come we're going across the street,"
...
"Okay, Immy I-" Becky froze in mid sentence, when she realized that Imogen wasn't where she said she'd be.
"IMOGEN!" Becky howled, running for the store exit.
...
"Now then, you'll behave and do what I tell you to do, got it? And look at this pretty dress... I'll make
sure you use it," The man said, throwing it into the trunk
Imogen gulped nervously, as she was pushed into the trunk, and tried her best not to cry. But oh god how
she wanted to...
The trunk door slammed shut not even a minute later, and then the sound of the vehicle being turned on, flew through the teen's ears.
...
"Where did you go!?" Becky thought, as she padded towards the parking lot, thinking that maybe she went to
her car.
However Imogen wasn't there, but then... Becky turned towards the abandoned parking lot, that sat across the street, and saw a white car pulling out of it and onto the the street.
"Oh no..." Becky managed to choke out. "Oh no..."
-
"YOU THINK SHE WAS WHAT!?" Natalie screamed in question.
"Miss, Moreno..." Becky breathed. "I came out of the bathroom, she was gone, and then when I went outside I saw a white car pulling out of the abandoned lot that's right across the strip mall, no one ever uses that lot anymore... It's just too convincing,"
"I'm calling the police right now!" The woman howled, as she took her cell phone out of her pant's pocket.
"This is all my fault..." Becky mumbled under her breath.
-
"So you think she was taken, by the man who was following her a few weeks ago?" The cop asked.
"Yes," Becky replied. "It just makes so much sense, her being gone when I got back from the bathroom, and then seeing that white car pulling out of the lot,"
"Well we have gotten some reports over the last two days, about a man stalking young teens, so it very well could be him," The cop said.
"Can you find Imogen though? And bring her back?" Becky chirped up.
"Hun, sometimes it's hard to track these people down, but we will search for her I promise you. We'll do the best we can, however I just want to make this clear right away... You may never see your friend again," The cop responded.
Becky felt herself freeze.
She had to see Imogen again... She just had to. This police man was lying... She'd come back safe and sound, no questions asked.
"I-... I- don't know if I can accept that, officer," Becky said.
"Look I'm just trying to prepare you mentally, just in case we can't find her, or it just so happens that if we do, we're still too late," The cop explained.
"I get it," Becky sighed.
"Very well then," The cop replied.
"Okay, I just talked to the girl's mother, I told her we'd keep her posted if anything comes up," Another cop squeaked, as he walked over to his partner, and to Becky.
"Good, now then let's get going,"
And with that the police left, Natalie went back inside and Becky drove on home.
-
"I'm so sorry, Sweetie," Mrs. Baker whispered, as she hugged her daughter tightly.
"Oh, Mom... I lo-" Becky's eyes widened as she realized what she was about to say.
"You what, sweetie?" Mrs. Baker wondered.
"I'm worried," Becky answered.
"I know, try not to worry too much if you can though," Mrs. Baker said.
"I'll try, it's just not everyday someone's best friend goes missing," Becky muttered, as she thought about what she almost said to her mother: "Oh, Mom I love Imogen so much,"
-
The next day Becky dragged herself to school, trying to figure out how she was going to tell her friends what had happened.
"Hey, Becky!" Drew greeted.
"H-Hi..." Becky whimpered, as she looked away from her friend.
"What's the matter?" Drew asked, while a concerned expression formed on his face.
"D-Drew, Imogen was abducted yesterday..." Becky mumbled in a very low tone.
"What?" I couldn't hear you, you talked too soft," Drew smirked.
"I-Imogen was abducted..." Becky whimpered.
"What?" Drew asked. "I didn't get any of-"
"DANG IT, DREW! IMOGEN WAS ABDUCTED YESTERDAY!" Becky cried loudly, as she stormed off down the halls.
"WAIT WHAT!?" Drew howled, as he ran after Becky.
"BECKY, COME BACK!"
But the blonde-haired girl didn't listen to him, she ran into the girl's restroom, the one place she knew he couldn't follow her into.
Becky began sobbing heavily, when she got into the bathroom.
She felt as if her life was falling apart... Her Imogen wad been taken away from her.
"Becks?"
Becky jumped in mid air, shocked to see Jenna walking up to her.
"It's okay, It's okay... I was in here using the bathroom, I didn't mean to scare ya," Jenna said gently.
Becky lunged herself onto Jenna and hugged her closely.
"Wha-What's going on? Why are you so upset?" Jenna asked.
"I-Imogen... She was abducted yesterday," Becky managed to say.
"WHAT? HOW!?" Jenna screamed.
"I-I I-I..." Oh- I can't I CAN'T I CAN'T- I CAN'T TAKE THIS RIGHT NOW!" Becky howled, as she let go of Jenna and ran out of the restroom.
"BECKY!" Jenna yelled, as she ran after her friend.
Becky ran into the halls, to see Drew waiting for her.
"BECKY!" Drew snapped.
The girl backed away from the boy, as Jenna came running towards her as well.
Becky's eyes became cloudy; She couldn't see much, too many tears, but that didn't stop her from sprinting away from both Jenna and Drew, who called for her as she headed down the hallways.
"Hey guys!" What's up with all the yelling?" Clare questioned, as she walked up to her two friends, with Dallas, Alli, and Connor by her side.
"Should I tell them or... Do you want to?" Jenna questioned, looking at Drew with fear in her eyes.
