....................Theresa's POV

"Mom!" Theresa shouted as she stomped down the stairs after hearing crying coming from the kitchen. "In the kitchen, sweetie" Her Mom called back and Theresa padded over to the kitchen in her bare feet to find her crushes Mom talking to her Mom, whilst tears were pouring down her face.

"Mom, what's going on?" Theresa asked and Danny's Mom looked up at her. "Do you know where Danny is, Reese?" She asked the young girl and Theresa shook her head in response. "That's the problem, sweetie, no one does" Her mother told her and Theresa gasped as she realized what this meant.

Danny, her crush, is missing. Just like those boys that where on the News every morning.

"I saw him after school; he was talking to James and Stephen, laughing for a while. Then you picked me up, mom, and I saw him start to walk home just as we pulled out of the parking lot." Theresa told them and her mom nodded at her. "That was five hours ago, maybe we should call the cops, Jane?" Theresa's mom suggested and Danny's mom just looked up at her in despair. "What if he's been kidnapped?" His mom wailed and then started crying even harder. Theresa couldn't stand to be in a room where somebody is crying as hard as she was and quickly backed out of the room, her mom calling after her.

She couldn't believe her ears; Danny has been kidnapped, just like Jordan had a couple of weeks ago. She told her mom that she was going to her mates and was about to leave the house when her mom called her back.

"Not today, Reese, okay? Not until we know what's happened. If Danny was kidnapped then we don't want you going out there on your own, I'm sorry Reese" Her mom said and Theresa just stomped her foot down in annoyance and stormed upstairs to her room.

She sunk down against her door after slamming it shut and just started to cry. She was scared, scared for Danny and his best friend and scared for herself as well. What if the same people came after her and did mean things to her?

After a while she calmed down and heard a car pull up to their house. She rushed over to her window and saw that it was a police cruiser and she quietly crept back over to her door and peeled it open as slowly and as quietly as she can. She then tiptoed out of her room and to the top of the stairs where she can just about see her mom, Danny's mom and the chief talking in the lounge.

"He was supposed to be home not longer after school closed. About half an hour afterwards, to give him time to talk for a little while with his friends before heading back home. But he never came back, I haven't been able to contact him at all, I've tried calling him but he won't pick up. What if he can't?" His mom wailed and the chief just winced slightly and pulled out a handkerchief and handed it over to the woman.

"I assure you ma'am, we will find your son" The chief told her and Theresa's mom just put her hand on the crying woman's back. The chief then stood up and said goodbye to them both before leaving the house and Theresa sat there in shock still.

She stood up and then slowly and calmly walked down the stairs before heading towards her mom on the couch. "Is Danny going to be alright?" She asked in a small voice and just started crying again as her mom just looked at her and nodded in what Theresa immediately knew was fear and uncertainty, she could always see through her mom.

"Come here, sweetie" Theresa's mom said and pulled her daughter into a cuddle. "If you want, Jane, you can stay here for the night so that you aren't alone in that house of yours" Theresa's mom suggested and the other woman just nodded and blew her nose on the handkerchief.
