Lost Boy

They're All Gone?

Now the one who we have to find is Toby. He's disappeared. Even tough I like to make fun of him sometimes, I really love him as my little brother. He might be sassy sometimes but he's funny and lovely, to be honest. I have a big question in mind, when Toby is disappeared now, is this problem related to the robbed thing or nah? Everything seems odd.

"Don't leave me too long, you, Ri-head." Toby screamed from his room. I am pretty sure he's still playing his video games.
"Alright, take care, Tobs. Call me if you want me to come home soon!"
"Bye Toby!" I said.
"Bye!"

I saw him locked the door after me and Riley entered my car. I saw it. And Toby just did not call us to tell us come home sooner or something. I seriously didn't know if anything bad could happen like tonight. Everything now is so mysterious. Especially the letter. It just said 4 clues: YELLOW TREES. SWEATER. BUCKS. NO 911. What do they mean? We haven't called 911 because we are afraid what if we call 911, then someone call us and threaten us about Toby. We're just gonna wait until next morning.

"Riley, you better sleep at my house because I think if you're here, you're not safe." I said to him while he's just silent and holding the sweater which there's a blood there. I know what's on his minds. So many questions left unanswered. I wonder what he's gonna tell to his parents when they know about this.
"I am not a good brother."
"Riley, please stop blaming yourself. It's not your fault."
"I am not supposed to leave him alone today." He started to cry a little.
"Riley, believe me. I will try to help you to find Toby. I am pretty sure he's safe now. Just relax, Riley. I will help you, I promise." I hugged him. It's such a hard times, man. I even do not believe this. Why even someone could do this to McDonough's family? They're such good people you'll ever met.

"Riley, because we only have this room left, so I think you can sleep here. If you need our help, just knock our door or Jane's so we know what we have to do next." Mom said.
"Thanks Mrs. Anderson." Oh hey I forget to tell you my last name, haha yeah it's Anderson. But I am not related to Will Anderson (the vocalist of Parachute), sadly.
"Alright Ri, good night." I said.
"Night Jane."

Because I promised Riley to help him to find Toby, then I start to think how to find him. I don't know what just hit me but I just texted Lily and Luke about this. I am pretty sure they can help us. 1) They're smart, like Lily likes Biology so much and I am pretty sure she can find what do Yellow Trees mean and Luke is good at planning something or strategy, maybe this is one case to prove his expertise. 2) I might just want to make them friends again or maybe a couple because Lily seems so stressed about it. 3) Toby, I want Toby to be back so I have someone to make fun of. Lol, nah, just kidding. I want him back so Riley can stop blaming himself. It ain't good, hey.

YELLOW TREES. SWEATER. BUCKS. NO 911. What are they gonna tell us about these 4 clues!??

On the next day, I got up so early to come to Lily's house. It's kinda far but I guess she can help me about this thing so why not. I knocked her door and dang it, Lily isn't home. Where is she? So I decide to come to Luke's house which is not far from Lily's. There I go, finding Luke is creating a robot. I wonder what major he'll take for college. He might just take any majors and gets A in every subjects. He's very smart, which is why I fell in love with him. But that's the past.

"Luke!"
"Sup, Jane?"
"Did you read my texts?"
"Oh, yeah. What's going on?"
"Luke, I really need your help. This is gonna be a big project for us to find Toby."
"Well let me think about this first."

I called Riley so he can come to Luke's house and I am planning such a big project for this thing. I hope it works with Luke who is smart in this case. What we're gonna do now is solve those clues first.
Riley came and brought the letter plus the sweater. He's still sleepy, I can tell. Maybe he did not sleep last night because of this problem.

"Well well well, YELLOW TREES. SWEATER. BUCKS. NO 911." Luke said.
He continued. "About that yellow trees, I really cannot think of any trees, but I think Lily can solve this. Why can't you tell her too about this?" I am not sure if they're still fighting now because Luke wants her to be there. Good for me then.
"I have tried to tell her but I don't know where is she now. I came into her house before I reached your home but she's not home."
"What about the other clues?" Riley finally said something after he just listened to me and Luke have been arguing how to find the meaning of these clues.
"Sweater. Is this Toby's?" Luke asked.
"Yeah. But there's a blood here." He showed him the spot of that blood.
"Dammit, what the hell is going on here. We have to find whose blood is this. Follow me." Luke invites us to enter his laboratory. It's really cool man. It's like you're already in 3012. So many robots and another cool things here. Awesome. Luke takes up tools and I am pretty sure it's his works.
"Luke, this is awesome." I said.
"Well thanks. And this, I made a thing called DNA-detector which I hope it can help to find whose blood on this sweater." Gosh, Luke, you're so genius. Luke pressed a button and it scanned the blood. Blood type A, it said.
"It's not Toby's." Such a relief that Riley just said it. It's not Toby's so I guess it's going to be okay soon. Toby isn't hurt, well, maybe. There's a chance. But so whose blood is that!? The 'kidnappers'?

Suddenly Lily came up and saying sorry to me why she's not replying my text. She was at a party last night. Wow, I really cannot believe it. I thought smart people won't waste their time to go to party, lol. Then we tell her about this. She tries to find what do Yellow Trees mean.

"Yellow trees? We do not have yellow trees if you're talking about the physical. But I guess... uhm Yellow Trumpet trees?" Gosh. Lily. That's true. Yellow Trumpet trees! Three clues have solved. But what about bucks!?!? What does this mean??
"Starbucks?!?" Riley, this is not the right time.
"Bucks.. Starbucks.. Maybe?" Luke added. But I think it's just weird. Like, yellow trumpet trees, no 911, Starbucks and not Toby? Are the kidnappers gonna tell us that they're now at Starbucks near the yellow trumpet trees or something?

We all decide to go to Starbucks which is near from Luke's house. We are like spying people here. So we decide to buy a drink. A drink for 4 teenagers. Isn't that awkward?

"We have to find the yellow trees!" Luke whispered. I seriously did not see anything yellow in this region.
"Riley, let's go." Luke told Riley to go out and find that yellow trees together.

30 minutes.. 1 hr... They haven't come back. I wonder where they're going. So me and Lily decided to go out from Starbucks. We do not find Luke or Riley over here. I called Riley but no answer. Lily called Luke and no answer too. God dammit, now 3 boys in my life are all disappeared like this?!?! This is not funny at all.
