'I'll be patrolling the area. If either of you think of anything else, please call me.' The Deputy handed them both a card, tipped his hat, and left.
'Fuck, I need a drink,' Laura announced, making her way back to the kitchen.
'I'll take a glass if you're offering,' Jess said.
'Not like you to self medicate.'
'These aren't exactly normal circumstances.'
Laura poured two glasses and handed one to Jess. 'What do you think happened to her? Charity doesn't seem the type to just pick up and leave.'
'No. And you heard what the Deputy said, all her clothes are still here, and her suitcase. If she left, wouldn't she take her stuff with her?'
'I know I would,' Laura admitted.
'Do you think someone took her?' whispered Jess.
Laura tapped at her glass. 'But why would they? Her parents aren't wealthy. It doesn't make sense.'
'When do kidnappings ever make sense?'
'But it's Charity. I mean, I just can't see her being kidnapped.'
'The cops don't seem to know what to think,' Jess said.
'Christ, I don't.' Laura let out a shaky laugh.
'You didn't tell me she was going to the party?'
'I just forgot. With you getting arrested, it slipped my mind.' Laura looked away, running her finger over the rim of her glass.
'But she hates parties? She must have had a reason to go. Did she say why? Maybe she was meeting someone?'
'She wouldn't say,' mumbled Laura.
'Well, did she say anything?'
'Jess, I don't know,' Laura exploded.
Jess grimaced. 'Sorry Lau, I didn't mean to interrogate you. I know you told the Deputy everything. I just want to understand.'
Laura picked up the bottle and topped them up, spilling a little with her shaking hands. 'She seemed eager to go. Almost smug. Like I told the Deputy. But you're sure you didn't see her?'
Jess took a big swig of her drink and pressed a hand to a temple. She could practically feel a headache forming and the heavy liquor wouldn't help, but still she took another sip.
'I swear I didn't. But why would she want to go to the party?' pondered Jess.
'I don't know. I thought it was weird, but I had an essay due. I didn't take that much notice,' Laura said in a small voice.
Jess patted her on the back. 'Don't. We'll find her.'
'I feel guilty. I should have been paying more attention.'
