Rachel cut school and went to the police station the next day. She sat at Officer Callahan's desk while her dad walked in with a donut and cup of coffee. 

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at school?"

"I'm skipping today. You know I really just don't care about school all that much. Plus everyone loves me, so it's not like it would ruin my attendance."

""Hey! Feet off the desk!" Callahan said. Rachel got up and high-fived him before leaning against the desk.

"Got any plans for tonight?" He asked.

"Yes, and they're called 'stay with the Byers so dad can have Sandra over'." Dad said. Rachel became irritated at the mere thought that Sandra would be in the house in general. She didn't even want to think about what they would be doing unsupervised. She was best friends with Jonathan, but her dad used it as an excuse for her to be out of the house.

"Ugh, are you serious?" 

"Yes, I'm serious."

"But why do I always have to-,"

"Rachel. Bear with me, here. With everything that's going on, the Byers need emotional support. We will find the kid, but no one can go through this alone."
