The sirens get louder and louder until they stop in front of the house. I slowly open the closet door and press my ear to the hall door. I can hear the police enter and I hear a voice yelling out. Eventually it stops and there is a knock at the door. I move the stuff out of the way and, with Zak and Sara close behind me, open the door.
An officer is there holding none other than Jason.
"Jason?!" Sara yells. I stand there with a dumb look on my face and I walk back towards Zak. Sara runs forward.
"Sara! No!!!" Me and Zak yell. It was to late. Jason reached out and hit her. She backed away to me. I held her.
"Please, get him out of here." I say, shaking.
The officer nods and asks us to follow him upstairs.
******************************
After an hour of questioning the officer takes Jason away and we all go back down stairs.
"Sara, are you okay?" I ask sitting her down on the couch. "She nods but is crying.
"We'll be right back." I say taking Zak's hand and leading him upstairs.
When we're in the kitchen I lean into him.
"We're all gonna be okay." He says moving my hair out of my face.
'Can you both just stay here for a while with me?"
He nods
"Thank you. I just can't be alone while my parents are gone for the next few months..." I say as I start to cry. He holds me closer. He lifts my chin and kisses me softly. I wish I had done this sooner. He was such a great guy...

Once back downstairs I lock the doors again and turn the TV on. I sit in between a sleeping Sara and Zak. I lean into him and rest my head on his shoulder. What a day... I just wish it was over. Soon, I fall asleep...
When I wake up I see Zak at my side. His chest rising and falling with his even breath. I look at the clock,. It's 5. I kiss him before getting up. I go over and check on Sara. She has a Bruise forming over her right eye. I go to get her more ice.
I shake Sara awake because I fear she may have a concussion, She starts awake and I hand her the ice. She nods her thanks and I turn on Fuse and just let the music play. I sit and and rest my head on the back of the couch and close my eyes.
I must have fallen asleep because next thing I know Sara is gone and Zak is shaking me awake.
"Where's Sara?" I ask looking around.
Zak shakes his head. "I was hoping that you'd know where she is..."
"Omigod!" I say, getting up immediately. I look around again, thinking I missed her. "You look down here." I say heading to the door which is some how still locked. I unlock it and bound up the door. I don't think of looking downstairs and I run to the second floor straight away. I first look in my room and don't find her. Then I look in the bathroom. I see it's recently been used but thats it. I do a quick check of the rest of the rooms and go back to the basement.
"Find anything?" I call when I don't see Zak.
"Nah, nothing." I sigh. I don't know how this happened. We had been so careful...
I am honestly thinking of quiting this stupid job. I have to except it. We failed. Me and Zak... We weren't able to keep track of her through all of this... I just can't believe it. They finally give me a real mission and I fail it.
"I'm going to go check the 1st floor." I say. I then go back upstairs and search the living room. I see somethings have been moved around but Nothing else. I go through the rest of the rooms and find nothing. When I walk into the kitchen I notice something I didn't see before. I walk over to it and pick it up. I scream. Loud. Zak comes running...
