I bounce my knee, anxiously waiting for the phone call. I look over at the clock. The numbers flip to 12 o'clock noon. I slam my hands on the table, panicking.

"The charges were dropped three hours ago! Why haven't I got a call yet?"

As if on cue, my phone rings.

It's an unknown number. Not caring who it is, I answer.

"You will find Julien at 394 Ash Street. She's right where she belongs."

The man hangs up before I can speak. I toss my phone onto the table, bolting despite the protests of Mr. Albright and Antonio. I floor it all the way to the address, desperate to find my sister.

I pull up to a few cop cars already on scene. The building is massive. It'll take forever to search.

I exit the car, running towards the police.

"Excuse me, young lady, you can't go in there."

"It's my sister! I'm going to help find her!"

"Let her through. She's telling the truth."

I turn to thank Mr. Albright. He just nods, motioning me to go and help. I run to the building, pulling open the door.
