I use the mouse on my computer to scroll through all the liquors I need to buy for the bar.

I hear Leila yawn and look over at my phone that is propped up while we're Facetiming.

I miss her so much.

"Why don't you go to sleep, baby?" She's lying on her side in bed with her phone propped up on a pillow.

"I don't want to leave you all alone." She says through another yawn.

"I am finishing this up and then I'm going to bed. Go to sleep, you're tired and you need it. My two favorite people need their rest."

"Fine." She adjusts herself and picks up the phone so I can see her whole face now.

"Goodnight baby."

"Goodnight Eas, I love you."

"I love you too." She gives me one more soft smile before ending the call.

I place my phone flat down on my desk and go back to work on my computer trying my best to not get out of my chair and drive to see Leila right now.

I go to the website and use the list to help me pick out all the alcohol the bar needs.

Once I have all the ones listed on the list, I place the order and shut my laptop.

I check the time 10:34pm.

I stand up from my desk and walk downstairs to Nick's bedroom. When I open the door he is sitting in bed with a pint of ice cream in his hand.

"Goodnight Nick."

"Night." He gives me a half wave before shoving another spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.

I walk back upstairs and to Seth's door. I knock lightly just so I can make sure she is home but after a few seconds there is no response. What the hell are those two doing?

I knock again and get no response again.

I twist the doorknob and the door opens right up and I immediately know something is wrong.

Seth never leaves her door unlocked even though I ask her all the time to keep it unlocked when she is sleeping in case of an emergency.

I ended that argument a long time ago because if need be I will push myself through her damn door.

"Seth?" I call out but nothing.

I pull my phone out and dial her number. It rings a couple of times before going straight to voicemail.

Panic mood sets in. Seth is gone. Dahlia. What if Dahlia got to them?

I rush back downstairs and to Nick's room. I bust in the door, not even bothering to knock this time.

"Seth and Grey are gone."

"Yeah and? They're adults, they're fine." He keeps his eyes on the TV not even looking my way for a second.

"I told her to be home at a certain time and she isn't home."

"Like I said she is an adult. She can make her own decisions." He starts scooping another spoonful of ice cream but I smack it out of his hand.

The pint goes flying into the wall and Nick throws his hands up in the air.

"Dude, what the fuck?"

"She told me she would be home. Seth doesn't lie. I called her three times Nick. She isn't answering. I called Grey. He isn't answering."

"Now are you going to sit here and shove your face full of toothpaste-flavored ice cream or are you going to help find our sister?"

He stares at me for a few seconds before nodding.
