"Should I call my mom?" Bailey whipped her head around and looked at me confused due to the huge topic change. "No, don't tell your mom, don't make her worry until there is going to be a reason to worry." She sighed then laughed and continued saying "Skip your morning phone call with her today." 

I laughed at her response and just nodded my head and headed back to my room. "Thank you for everything Bailey, I am going to see if I can take my mind off of this a different way."

Next day

I in-fact got no sleep last night, I couldn't fall asleep until around 2:30pm then I woke up hourly worrying about what today would bring.  I searched around my bed for my phone and when I finally found it I saw that it was 6 in the morning and I could get ready to go to the police station so we can go there right when the offices open. 

I checked my snapchat and there was still a message from 'Rhett', but it was just a chat, thank goodness. I don't think I could see that again. 

I stood up, plugged my phone back in, and headed straight for the bathroom as quietly as possible so I wouldn't wake Bailey up this early. I got in the shower and hopped that the hot water would rinse away all my worries but it didn't work. 

"Knock Knock" I jumped at the sound of a voice in the bathroom "Sorry I have to pee, hope you don't mind." Bailey said "Jesh, you scared me!" I laughed scrubbing the bubbles out of my hair. "What? Did you think I was the creepy old man?" She responded as she was sitting on the toilet.

I poked my head out of the shower curtain making sure my body was covered and said "Way too soon!" she just laughed and headed out of the bathroom "Oh, hurry up, the station opens at 7am and we are walking there." then I heard the door shut. This was going to be the longest walk of my entire life.

Shortly after my shower Bailey and I were on our way to the police station. We did decide to walk because walking would be faster than trying to take a car through town then trying to find a parking spot outside of the station. "Are you nervous?" Bailey asked me. I shrugged my shoulders "Yes, but I am hopeful that they are going to be able to help me, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about. We just can't mention the photo he sent because he could have my phone bugged." She nodded her head in agreement and continued walking. "Oh we are here! It is a lot closer to our apartment than what I thought it was!" Bailey said. 

I just stood at the bottom of the stairs un able to move as I looked up at the doors to the station. I looked around me and there was police cars parked all along the building. "We walked all the way here, there's no turning back now." Bailey said from the top of the stairs waiting for me with her hand on the door. 

I slowly climbed the stairs and took a deep breath before opening the door. The inside of the police station is exactly how I pictured it would be. It was almost depressing, there was no color anywhere just brown walls, and brown floors. "Is there anything I can help you ladies with?" Bailey and I both turned our head in the direction from where the voice came from to reveal a little old lady behind the front desk. 

"Yes we are wondering if we can talk to a police officer about the Rhett Coleman missing case?" Bailey said nonchalantly. The nice lady help up her pointer finger signaling us to wait a minute and continued to talk on the phone, "Yes, there are two ladies here that would like to talk to you." She paused "Okay I will let them know." She replied and hung up the phone. 

Her attention was now on us and she said "Officer Henry will be out in a minute." We both smiled at her and said 'thank you!' Soon enough the door to the back swung open revealing a tall dark haired officer that didn't look much over thirty, "Right through here ladies" He opened the door for us and we walked through and waited for him to lead the way.

After a short walk he took us to his office and sat us down in front of him. "So what brings you two to the police station, this lovely morning?" Officer Henry asked us. I looked at Bailey who was looking at me and I decided it was my story to tell. I cleared my throat and said "Well we heard last night that Rhett Coleman is missing, and I have been in contact with someone who has been using his snapchat." 

Officer Henry adjusted himself in his and said "Well that's interesting, isn't it." I looked at him with pure confusion in my eyes. He didn't believe me, "I know it sounds crazy, but I promise you." "well honey, I hate to break it to you, but I think you are being cat-fished and it would be best to just un add him completely. Now I am going to show you two out and get back to finding leads for this case." 

Officer Henry stood up and I could not believe my ears and Bailey looked just as shocked as I did. "Now sir, officer, I know you think she is crazy and I did too at first but you need to hear her-" Officer Henry cut off Bailey before she could finish "You two need to leave now before I have you escorted out. 

And with that.. we left.
