Tim Bradford:
I'm here. Alley behind the laundromat.
Celina Juarez:
I just parked. Where are you?
Tim Bradford:
Far end. South side.
Celina Juarez:
Okay, I see you.
Aaron Thorsen:
John and I are five minutes out.
Angela Lopez:
Same.
Wade Grey:
Do not go in alone.
Tim Bradford:
I already am.
Celina Juarez:
Tim—
Tim Bradford:
Something's off.
Celina Juarez:
What do you see?
Tim Bradford:
Scuff marks. Like someone was dragged.
Bailey Nune:
Oh my God.
Tim Bradford:
There's something else. A phone.
Celina Juarez:
Lucy's?!
Tim Bradford:
Screen's shattered. Battery ripped out.
Celina Juarez:
That's bad. That's really bad.
Aaron Thorsen:
Why take the battery out unless—
Angela Lopez:
They didn't want us tracking her.
Tim Bradford:
There's blood.
Celina Juarez:
No.
Tim Bradford:
It's fresh.
Nyla Harper:
We need forensics there NOW.
Wade Grey:
Stay put. Officers are on the way.
Tim Bradford:
I'm not just standing here.
John Nolan:
Tim, we need to be smart. If she was taken, we can't tip them off.
Tim Bradford:
This isn't some random abduction. Someone knew what they were doing.
Angela Lopez:
Lucy's not answering because they made sure she couldn't.
Aaron Thorsen:
So where the hell is she now?
Celina Juarez:
There's a trail. Small blood droplets leading away from the alley.
Tim Bradford:
Following it.
Wade Grey:
Tim. Stop.
Celina Juarez:
I'm going too.
John Nolan:
We'll be there in two minutes! Just wait!
Tim Bradford:
Footsteps. Two sets. One heavier than the other.
Celina Juarez:
The smaller set is Lucy's.
Aaron Thorsen:
You can't know that for sure.
Tim Bradford:
I know her.
Bailey Nune:
So she was walking?
Tim Bradford:
More like forced. The steps are uneven.
Nyla Harper:
Like she was injured.
Celina Juarez:
Oh my God.
Tim Bradford:
The trail stops at the curb.
Angela Lopez:
A car. They must have shoved her inside.
John Nolan:
Any tire tracks?
Tim Bradford:
Already taking pictures. We'll run them.
Celina Juarez:
Tim. There's something else.
Tim Bradford:
What?
Celina Juarez:
Her necklace. It's on the ground.
Bailey Nune:
The one she never takes off?
Celina Juarez:
Yeah. She would never just drop it.
Tim Bradford:
That means she fought.
Wade Grey:
I'm calling in every unit. This just became priority number one.
Tim Bradford:
We're not stopping until we find her.
