8:43pm
It was the night before the sixth, the day of Brianna's concert.  The concert where she'd be playing the song dedicated to her aunt.  The aunt MIA in Afghanistan.

"I talked with my doctor. I'll be able to go to your concert tomorrow and hear you play that song" Drew says.

"I don't think I'm gonna go to the concert. Let alone play the song that was supposed to be for her" Brianna says.

"That's why you would. You'd do it for her" Jordan says walking in to check on Drew.

"Any word?" Rick asks.

"All I've heard is that they had to widen their search radius. They didn't find her or a body." Jordan says sadness in her voice.

She saw the pain Brianna was in. How Sage being missing affected her. But in all honesty the whole night shift was in pain. Sage was a light to the darkness they see in their line of work. She always brightened the mood.

"Also the whole night shift crew is going to hear you play that song" Jordan adds to her earlier statement.

"Which reminds me. I talked with your orchestra teacher Ms.Cassidy. She said you had permission for your teachers to stay with her all day until the concert after school." Rick says.

"Ok" Brianna responds.

The next day had arrived and Rick had driven Brianna to school.

When she got out she had her Cello in hand.

"Here" Jacob says opening the door for her.

"Thanks" Brianna says.

"Who's Cello is that? I thought yours was already here" Jacob asks having noticed the Cello she was carrying.

"It's. . . It's my Aunts" Brianna replies heading to the orchestra room.

"Oh I'm sorry" Jacob says.

"It's fine" she responds

"See you 4th hour" he says turning on his heels to head in the other direction.

"Good Morning" Ms.Cassidy says to Brianna as she enters the room. "Who's Cello is that?"

"Before my aunt left my dad to go get on the helicopter she told him to take her Cello and to give it to me to play in our concert. So this is it" Brianna says sitting down.

She starts unpacking the Cello setting the case in the Cello and bass room before going back to her seat.

"So we'll have you get up, go around the section and up the stairs and onto the stage.q" Ms. Cassidy explains.

"Ok" she replies.

"You will get through this I know it" Her teacher says.

"Drew" Jordan says happiness in her voice.
