Lauren * It was a little past dawn when me and Ross ddciding on leaving. We had to steal the car keys to Christi's bug. I know it seems wrong but hey we were helping her. We had to sneak out of our window, which trust me wasn't easy. But we did it. " Be quite klutzilla!" Ross snapped at me from the ground. I was carefully propelling down a tree. " This tree is probably fifty years old Ross! So shut the fuck up!" I whisper yelled. Unfortunatley for me, that one second of weakness my foot slipped on the branch. I plummeted down and straight into a muscley-broad chest. I was sprawled out atop of Ross, with his hand clamped down over my mouth. Apparently I had been screaming during the fall. " Jesus, Lauren watch your step! You could have gotten killed!" " Whatever, that would just make your job easier!" I snapped. He winced as I said that and then he said, with possibly the most gentle tone I had ever heard. " Is that honestly what you think?" I just looked at down at him and suddenly my breath caught in my throat when I answered, honestly " No, N-No I dont ." We just looked at eachother for a while then we both began to slowly get up, shaking ourselves out of - whatever that was. When we had successfully maneuvered out of sight and into the car, we made our start. That's when it popped in my head. " Wait, Ross where will we start do you even have a plan?" I asked, quickly realizing how much we hadn't thought through. " I know some people at the station who told me they have a lead. They said all the victims are between 15 and 20 brown hair and smail figures." Ross replied. I thought about this for a second. " Wait, that doesn't even remotley match Christi's profile?" " I know but they have all been taken around the same area, the little park down wadker street?" " Yeah I know it so are we headed there?" Ross looked thoughtful for a moment. Before he looked up sheepishly and said " I haven't really thought that far ahead yet." He admitted. A sudden realization came across me, and when I looked at Ross he noticed it and looked at me questioningly. Then a horrified expression arose on his face and he shouted "NO!" at the same time I screeched " Yes!" " No, Laura don't you even consider that as a possibilty!" " But Ross It might be the only way to find Christi." He looked at me like I had grown another head and said in a tone of finality " I will not let you risk your life... even for Christi." I just stared at him and said " Wanna bet... " Ill just do it myself if you won't help me. " " Renny, you are the most stubborn, risky, pissy, bitchy ass I've ever known." He said with a slight smirk still not pleased. " And....?" He sighed " And... you've got some major balls." I smiled I know.
