Sydney Drews sat in the crowded coffee shop, sipping her mocha. Half-awake, she daydreamed as she watched the cars pass through the busy streets of Indianapolis. A large, black pickup truck drove behind a small, white "smart car." They stood out from the rainbow of colorful cars. Sydney chuckled to herself. The two cars reminded her, oddly enough, of a cat chasing a mouse.

Sydney snapped out of her daydream when her phone rang. She grabbed the slim iPhone from her jeans pocket and brought it to her ear. "Sydney Drews speaking," she said, making her way out of the crowded coffee shop. She dodged a waitress precariously balancing a tray full of coffee and made it outside. Sydney leaned against the brick wall of the shop.

"Hi Sydney, this is Hannah Fellows. A friend referred me to you. I'm afraid I need you to investigate something for me," the woman said.

"Is that so? What happened?"

"My niece - she-she's been kidnapped."

"Oh my- I'll be there as soon as possible. Can you text me your address?"

"Of course. See you soon."

Sydney sighed as she hung up the phone, heading to her electric blue pickup. There really never was a dull moment with this job.
