She's not afraid of all the attention. She's not afraid of running wild.
But how come she's so afraid of falling in love?

Prologue
Lauren Kimberlyn, elite criminologist and detective, at your service.
At this young age of 21, I've had more experience with crimes and mysteries than most people facing their middle aged days. Being one of the most successful and trustworthy in this line of business, I've worked with leading detective agencies and the FBI, going undercover as a spy when needed. Handling and solving top secret cases is an everyday chore to me. With zero mistakes and fails, I'm the best investigator you could possibly hire.
I'm looking forward to solve your puzzle.
Agent K.

Greetings, Agent K.
I couldn't help but notice the independent, sure way you describe yourself on your website. You definitely stand out amongst the other hundreds of private detectives.
Nevertheless, this isn't a sweet-talk letter. I don't search the world wide web network of criminal investigators for recreational purposes. I wanted to give you a mission. Or another mission, depending on how busy you are at the moment.
My dear friends' daughter has gone missing. She is a two year old baby, and as you can tell, completely unable to defend herself. She does, however, respond to her name: Lux. A recent picture is attached to this mail.
The parents, Louise Teasdale and Thomas Atkin, were working the day of the disappearance. The child was with her mother, who works as a barber. Around noon, when planning to take her daughter out for lunch, Louise noticed the absence of the child.
The Police has been informed, but we figured an extra pair of hands wouldn't hurt. That is why I'm asking you to accept this mission. As a starter we are willing to give you £5000, but money is not a problem. Just name your prize.
For further details, please reply to this address. I hope we sparked your interest in helping us.
Best of regards,
Paul Hyggins.
