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.
