Tarryn Phillips awoke early on Thursday morning and went for her morning jog. She returned home grimacing at the headache that was throbbing at the base of her skull. She had been up too late talking to Sammy D. He seemed like a decent guy. She had told him about the spammer and the distastefully doctored pic of her friend Donna Louise. Tarryn never had called the police. It was an empty threat to put a stop to the Cyber Bullying going on with Donna. That's clearly what it was. Sammy had agreed.

However she was a little worried, Donna hadn't returned any of her calls or messages for over a week now. She had decided she'd go over and check on her after work that night. Oh no! She couldn't, she had agreed to meet Sammy at Fat Sam's for gumbo. Lunch time then!

Tarryn took a shower and hurried off to work already late. In her hurry she left her cell phone on the hallway table. It began ringing just as she was starting up her car.

She stopped at the McDonald's on River Street to grab a coffee and a MacMuffin on the fly. She would be traveling to nether regions of New Orleans, helping a few unlucky souls who had been sent audits. Dang it! There was no way she would be back at lunch time! Tomorrow! Definitely, she would have to go see Donna. She was worried now. It had been a long time.

Hector thumped the hand set back into the cradle. "Damn!" He had been trying to reach Tarryn Phillips since 8am. Nothing, her employer had told him she was out over to Raynard Parish helping some audited clients and wouldn't be back till late. And of course couldn't give the phone numbers. Not because he didn't want to. One had the phone cut off, and the other was without a phone altogether. Preferring to use an unreliable internet connection only.

Hector, trying to remain calm as per the doc's and Grace's instructions, sent a squad car to wait outside the girl's home and had asked her employer to call him if she came in. This was too reminiscent of last year when they had been racing against time to save another young woman from Anthony Buedro. Fortunately she had still been in class, and easy to find. He had a bad feeling about Ms Phillips.

Caylin stopped by the hospital after 10am. Leanne had called asking if Caylin could come get her. Caylin agreed, then called Tony.

"Tony Belle!" He greeted. Caylin smiled hearing his cheerful greeting.

"Guess who?" She asked.

"Caylin! You back yet girl?" He asked.

"I am! Want to get lunch?"

"Always! Where and what time?" Tony replied.

"Well I need you to pick me up from a friend's house ......" Caylin then reiterated the last days events to Tony. Who was immediately worried. He knew he couldn't stop Caylin being a medium any more than he could stop being male. Didn't mean he couldn't watch over her though. Especially after last time.

"I'll come get you in an hour then." Tony said after Caylin gave him Leanne's address. She intended to drive Leanne's car to the hospital to pick her up. She didn't want Leanne worrying about her car, she would have enough to worry about over the next few days. Caylin still hadn't told her she would never even get her sister's body back for burial. There was no body anymore.

Caylin remembered the grisly visions that had assaulted her last night, and felt her stomach churn.

So she would need Tony to pick her up from Leanne's so the car could be left behind.

Caylin arrived at Lee's room, her friend was sitting in the chair by the window, still wearing yesterday's clothes.

"Are you good to go?" Caylin asked entering the room.
