*Lauren's 22nd birthday group chat*

9AM Sunday

T: Hey anyone heard from Lauren yet? She hasn't answered me...

D: Hey! No I haven't heard anything...I stayed over with Mila last night and hadn't heard anything.

T: Ugh still :( So what's the plan?

N: Well I was hoping she would of texted one of back by now.......

D: It's very odd for Lauren to not to reply to any of us. She hasn't been on social media either. Not since 2:17am on our night off. Nothing happened the night we were out did it? Like none of fought or anything did we?

N: No.....I don't remember. I remember dancing last night with all of us.....well all of us but Lauren..

C: Here's everything I remember. We all had drinks here last night before we went out. When we got a Taxi Cab to the bar and met Mani. She joined us after her shift. Ty left first around 1:45, I saw an old friend and went outside to speak with her....Lauren followed me. Around 2:15 I got back home and noticed her door was closed so I presumed she was already home.

T: I'm getting super scared....What if she's missing..

D: I'll admit it. I'm getting worried too.

N: So what? We contact the police?

C: Let me call her mom. Let me make sure she didn't go home..

T: Okay well let's hope she just went home!

12:30PM SUNDAY

C: Damnit! She didn't go home.

T: Fuck I'm really starting to believe something happened to her. This isn't like her.

N: Did her mom wonder why you asked?

C: Yeah I haven't told her why yet though...

T: Would she of went to see Chris? She mentioned missing him and his wife and her niece recently..

C: No Chris' wife is on vacation.

T: Well then, we're out of options. We're calling the police.

C: Ty just wait. Let me call her mom again and ask her opinion before we call anyone.

N: Are you alright doing that?

C: I'm scared, but it needs to be done. So I will do this, give me half an hour, I'll text you all afterwards.

1:05PM SUNDAY

C: Okay well as any mother would be, she's worried sick. She's gonna contact Laur too. She wants me to call the police here though and notify them. She's freaking out.

T: Okay well let's hope she hears from her. Let's pray Laur is okay..

C: Her mother can't get ahold of her either.

T: Damn. I told you we should of called the police earlier. Something is wrong with her I'm sure of it.

D: We don't know that Ty. Stop jumping to conclusions. Just she what the police says first. Okay?

D: Well here's what the police have done. They've opened a case but because it hasn't been 48 hours. They seemed optimistic. However since this isn't like Lauren they're going to do a few initial investigations, they're even gonna call a few local hospitals to see if maybe she's at one of them. She might of hurt herself since she was very drunk. They're going to send someone to the S Bar to look at the CCTV cameras outside the Bar to see if they can trace her steps once she did disappear.

N: Oh my god. Do you think she might of hurt herself? I didn't think about that.

T: Well I've never wanted anything bad to happen to her. But I really hope she's in the hospital, at least we know she's okay...

6:09PM SUNDAY

C: Bad news...The police contacted me and they're nobody matching her at any local hospitals.

T: Then where the hell is she?

N: This is really scary... Where is she? What do we do?

T: just keep trying to contact her.

T: Not trying to scare you but it's in the newspaper guys...
