the new and improved version now being posted on Radish! ___________________________________ When Melanie's twin sister Isabel goes missing, Melanie will do anything to get her back. Melanie waits all morning for her sister to come home, hoping she had another drunken night at some loser's house, but became worried as hours pass with no sign of her. When she reports it to the police, they couldn't care less - except for one officer who seems to hold Melanie's attention. Melanie doesn't know what do anymore-that is until Isabel's kidnapper shows up on her doorstep with Isabel. She's unharmed and dazed, inside his arms, claiming he had taken the wrong sister. The man then makes an offer; Melanie can get Isabel back - under one condition: she gives herself up. So she does. Copyright @SierraEakins 2015
