Day 1: The Car

"Ok, we'll look around for other clues, Ally just let us know when you're done and ready to go." Lauren said.

"Screw waiting around." Dinah stood up. "Ally can read in the car. We know where we have to go first so let's just go."

The girls exchanged looks. "We can't just get up and leave on a trip to find Camila. Opening night is in three days and we're not one hundred percent ready still." Ally explained.

"Yeah, I guess so. Management would flip out on us if we weren't here rehearsing." Normani added. Though it was her idea to go on the road trip, she was starting to think it through a bit more.

"I'm in." Lauren raised her hand and stood up then walked over next to Dinah's side. "Fuck our management. Let's do this for Camz."

There was a pause between the girls. Ally looked to Normani who looked to Dinah.

"For Mila." Dinah confirmed, smiling at Lauren who cracked a genuine smile for the first time in what felt like forever. "We just need a car."

Normani's mouth formed an 'O' shape as she thought about options for the girls to get to their destination. Lauren's mouth curled into a smirk as she eyed Dinah.

"No." Dinah firmly said to Lauren, who's smirk was still on her face. "Whatever it is, no."

The girls split up as they entered the hotel lobby. Ally and Normani went one way, Dinah and Lauren the other.

"I can't believe you're making me do this." Dinah said to Lauren as they entered the elevator.

"I'm not worried. You got this." Lauren teased. This was payback for making her flirt with the front desk boy for a key card to Camila's room.

The elevator doors opened and the two girls exited and headed towards Camila's room.

"You sure this is gonna work?" Dinah looked and felt nervous. This was a really bad idea and they all knew it but they had nothing to loose at this point.

Dinah and Lauren pushed open the half open hotel room door to Camila's room. Cops, detectives and John were still in there.

"Hey John." Dinah said softly as the two entered the room. He seemed frazzled as he headed towards the door to leave but his facial expression quickly changed when he saw the two girls and he turned back into the room, allowing the two girls to walk in too.

"Anything new?" Lauren asked in concern. She eyed the black beanie on the bed. It was hers and she did want it back but she still couldn't remember why Camila had it.

John shook his head. No new news on Camila.

"So, Lauren has some concerns." Dinah explained to John. Lauren's eyes widened. This wasn't part of the plan. Dinah was supposed to have the 'concerns'.

"I uh.." Lauren started. Dinah smirked at Lauren knowing she just made Lauren's plan backfire on her. "Camila had some of my shirts and I kinda want them back." she was lying. Not about Camila having some of her shirts but her wanting them back right this second. Half the stuff Camila had of hers she didn't even know she had.

Camila sometimes would show up at the meet and greets in Lauren's shirt. It would surprise her since she never lent Camila the shirt. Camila would ever once in a while when Lauren wasn't looking, dig through her suitcase and find a shirt. Usually, that would annoy Lauren. In fact, Lauren was never a big fan of sharing clothes like she was never a fan of sharing books. But she did both of those with Camila.

"You know you can't just take stuff right now Lauren." John started explaining.

"Yeah whatever." Lauren mumbled in an annoyed tone, she walked over and picked up the beanie. The beanie still didn't make sense to Lauren. Camila never even wore beanies so why would she have it?
