Lauren's 22nd birthday group chat

D: Guys....I hate being the one to tell you this, but Camila just got off the phone with Lauren's parents and the body they found was Lauren's.

T: You're fucking kidding me! I can't believe it. She's dead?

D: Neither can I Ty.

N: I am speechless.

C: Me too, I'm crying so much. I feel like I'm stuck in a nightmare and I can't wake myself up and escape.

T: Damnit! I knew something was wrong with her! Why did you guys not listen to me..

N: We just didn't know for sure. We cant be throwing blame right now.

D: I know this is shit, but let's not blame one another. We need to let this sink in. We can get through this together. It'll be tough but we can only be there for one another right now.

N: I'm in shock more than anything. Worst. News. Ever.

T: Well yeah of course it's the worst news...She was such a beautiful and sweet girl, she didn't deserve this.

C: She really was Ty.

3 Days after Lauren's disappearance 7:50AM

T: I still can't believe it. Today is her birthday.

N: Her facebook is mixture between happy birthday messages and RIP ones. Not everyone has heard the news yet.

D: Morning guys...

N: Hey how are you and Camila?

D: Well I stayed at her place last night. We didn't sleep much. We both cried most of the night. We slept for myabe an hour or two. We've basically just given up now.

N: I heard this morning that they're treating her death as suspicous. Does that mean what I think it means?

D: I don't know I haven't really thought about it...

T: We're not stupid guys. It's pretty clear someone killed her.

D: God there you go again! Jumping to conculsions. She might of passed out drunk in the park. or hit her head on something when she fell.

T: Yeah well I've been right about everything else so far.

N: When are they doing the autopsy?

D: Camila told me today. We will find out more information following that.

N: Well keep me and Ty infromed.

D: Will do Mila!

12:30PM

C: There is an update on the CCTV! They located some footage of her getting into a taxi cab. They could see the license plate number clearly so they're going to contact the taxi company and have them trace the vechile to see who the driver was that night.

N: Do they think the driver had something to do with it? Oh my god, what if he attacked her and then just dumped her body at the park.

C: Mani no. We can't think like that. They just wanted to bring him in for questioning, so they can piece together what happened that night.

N: I guess we have to wait and see what they find out.

D: There was some more news too. Her mom told Camila and I that they are treating this as a murder case.

T: Like I said. I hope whoever hurts her rots in hell.

N: I honestly didn't think this could get any worse.

D: I am so sorry guys :(

N: It's okay Dinah. Not your fault.

T: Did they say how this asshole hurt Lauren?

D: No they haven't released details yet. They need to do a full autopsy before they tell anyone anything.

N: God I just hope she didn't suffer.

D: I am really hoping so. Praying....

6:30PM

C: Update on the taxi cab driver... They let him go.

T: Wait....WHAT?

C: Yeah they don't think he's the killer. Apparently Laur hailed the cab herself and they were driving as she said she saw someone she knew and they got in.

T: Did they say who?

C: No from what I heard he has no description of this person at all, but the driver dropped them off at the park as they said they'd walk home from there. She said it sounded like she was arguing with this person but they were drunk and all the words were slurring togeher. He can't remember what they were talking about.

N: So let me understand this better. She let someone she knew inside the cab. They got out at the park together. Then her body is found dead at that very same park. Whoever got into the car had something to do with her death.

C: Looks that way for sure.

N: But who would it be?

C: No idea. She was friends with everyone. Nobody had a bad vibe with Laur. You couldn't hate her even if you tried.

N: It's even more confusing to think about why someone would want to hurt her.

C: Someone had a very good reasoning behind it. You can get away with a lot of things but this isn't one of them, nor murdering an innocent girl... Just a matter of time until we know who the killer is..

D: If anyone would just think of anyone that she may of met that night it would help.

N: Good idea Dinah!

T: Will do for sure!
