Eliza sat on Alex's office chair as she stared at the small device in her hands. Alex's phone. She turned it on and saw the missed calls and texts from herself. She sighed a bit, knowing that even if they had the technology, she wouldn't be able to track him with GPS."Well, now we can go through it and see if anything is out of the ordinary on here? Maybe someone he was contacting that's weird?" Peggy suggested. Eliza nodded and put in his password. The had the same on on their phones so they wouldn't forget.
Eliza Scrolled through his contacts, mostly seeing friends and family. "This is weird?" She mumbled quietly and clicked on a contact with an empty profile picture and the contact name 'Norman' . Definitely out of the ordinary.
She went to their messages and scrolled to the top before reading them. She apologized to Alex in her head. She had promised to never snoop through his messages. But she had to. This was an emergancy.
Hey Alex. How was your run?
Um?
What?
Who are you?Just a friend. A neighbor, really.
I'm just curious to know how your run went
I didn't see your wifey?
Is she still sad about the whole "losing a baby" thing?

Itll be a great time.
I friended you on Facebook too
Come on, you know you want toWhat time?

The park on Mercer Street
Take back roads only and leave your phone at homeFine. See you then.
Read at 8:37pm"Ok, Eliza. At least we know he went somewhere and wasn't taken. No one was in your house." Peggy said. Eliza started panicking as Angelica rubbed her back a little bit.
"He was still taken! I don't understand... why... why Alex???" She cried into her sisters. Peggy was about to speak again but Angelica stopped her and just focused on calming Eliza.
Once Eliza was calm, Angelica spoke up again. "I found something, on the Facebook page. It was a picture of some turtle from a year ago... October 26 to be exact..." she gave Peggy a look, "and the caption is "Best day of my life. Marrying my second favorite person. To my first, I will get you back." "
Eliza thought about it. "That... that could be for Alex... it could also be for anyone. But we can look into it... can you do that while we go check out the park for clues? We need to get everything." She said.
Angelica nodded. "I'm going going to put this stuff into the document so we remember everything." She left the room.
Peggy pulled out her phone. "I'm just going to go call John, tell him I'll be home late for dinner. Wanna go to the park now or tonight?" She asked.
Eliza sighed. "Now... I looked up the statistics... people who are kidnapped rarely last more than 3 days... we need to find him. Now."
Peggy nodded and went out of the room to call her husband. Angelica stayed downstairs with the computer. "Eliza! I need you to answer some questions!" Angelica called.
Eliza ran down and sat on the couch. "What questions? About what? Did you find something???" She asked. Angelica shook her head.
"I have a feeling that whoever 'Norman' is, is one of Alex's ex's. Do you know of any? Has he ever told you about any?" She asked and started recording so she could type it all in after.
"Well, there was Thomas Jefferson, Maria Reynolds, Francis Kinloch, Kitty Livingston, You, and... John Laurens." She said quietly. Angelica nodded and started typing.
"Would any of them want him back?" She asked once she put in all the names.
"Well, John is happily married to Peggy and you and John Church seem to be fine. Thomas Jefferson works with Alex but he's not married. He is dating James Madison, though. Maria is taking a break from guys... I guess that leaves Francis Kinloch and Kitty Livingston."
"I'll contact them while you're at the park then. Thanks, Liza. This was a really big help." She smiled and stopped recording, hugging her sister.
