Janet: Hello.

Crawford (shakes her hand): Hello I'm Crawford, how you do?

Janet: Not good.

Crawford: What information you have on the missing children’s case?

Janet: You know who Demonico Perry is?

Crawford: Yes, we met him.

Janet: Well, last week I had dinner with him, and he was telling me about there were a lot of his students that had gone missing on some days that all seemed coincidental to him.

Crawford: Okay.

Janet: And after we had dinner he invited me over the next day, he was talking about some dream experiment he’s going to perform at the school Saturday morning at 10:00 am-4:00, and the next day I had called him to see how did the experiment went, he said it went well, and Monday I called him to check on him again and he didn't answer, so I called him later on that Monday night, I didn’t get an answer again, which seemed odd because he always answers his phone quick when he is at home around those times, and Tuesday, I called him 9 times and I still didn’t get an answer, and that’s when I thought it was something wrong here, I went to the school yesterday, and I knocked on the door and it was closed.

Crawford: What time were you there?

Janet: It was early at 9.

Crawford: that is odd because the staffs are in their around that time, and school was supposed to be open yesterday.

Janet: I waited by the school till 4, and I didn’t see anyone enter the school nor come out of it.

Crawford: Okay, tell us where you might know where they are?

Janet: I had a dream that Mr. Perry and some students needed my help badly and kept calling my name and there were these strange looking people…

Crawford: Hold it, you going about this based on a dream?

Janet: Yes.

Crawford: No way.

Janet (Shouts): You have to hear me out here, I know there is something wrong, I know in my heart they are somewhere in that school.

Crawford: No, They are not there, you can’t base this case on a dream, that is not a hunch.

Janet: This dream seemed powerful, I know they must be there, look, just please check the school, at least do that, please?

Crawford: We’ll check and see but we are not basing this on a dream here. Let’s check the school, Foster.

Janet: I am going with you.

Crawford: No, you go home.

Janet: No, I’m going, that is my friend out there that needs my help, I going.

Crawford: Okay, you can come, but you have to stay in your vehicle.

Janet: I understand, as long as I’m there.

Crawford: Okay, let’s go.

(Detective Crawford and his partner drive to the school while Janet pursues them.)

Crawford: The school does look empty.

Foster: Even the parking lot is empty.

Crawford: This is weird, there should be school today, it’s around 12 now, my daughter is in school, and it should be lunch time now for them. I can’t get this door open.

Foster (and Crawford Holds their feet upward): Let’s try kicking it with our feet.

Crawford: It’s hard metal, we can’t get it open, we have to call someone now.
