The Picture

Chapter 6 Treasure

     The day I found the picture was the day I realized I had to find Elena. It was the day I answered one of the questions. It was the day I realized that Elena was alive. The picture came from a security camera at the animal shelter. I had started volunteering there right after her disappearance and I requested to do the exact jobs Elena did: check all security footage, walk the dogs, and speak to customers on the phone. Herris Town Animal Shelter had called me early that morning telling me one of the dogs I looked after had gone missing. I ran down to the shelter and started to investigate to find the whereabouts of the missing pooch. I was told to review lasts night security footage and found a photo of Elena grabbing Coddie, the missing dog and then another picture of her running of with him. I printed out the pictures and then deleted them off the software and told my boss that the camera had crashed and no photos were taken. I felt like this was a sign, that Elena wanted me to find her, but no one else.
