Cassandra Blake, 22 years of age and height of 5"7.
Wanted for destruction of property on December 19th of 1994...Never found.

As I looked through the missing girls file I found a picture of the property, the house burnt to a crisp, nothing left but ashes.  The picture of the mother and father a bit burnt from the accident.  They looked so happy, but their photos after death were the complete opposite.  
Two black skeletons, nothing left but a dented in skull and a pelvic bone.
I sigh and shut the folder, sliding it across my desk and leaning back in my chair.  I lift my hands to my face and rub my eyes as I yawn.  I stand up and grab my coat, pushing my arms through the sleeves as I grab my car keys to my black Honda.  I lock my office and the main door, walking across the parking lot.

I open my door and slide in, I start the engine and slide out my parking space and onto the highway.

My eyes get heavy and I look at the clock in my car, 2:30 a.m.  
"I still got a good hours drive, I won't make it." I drive past all the stores till I reach a small inn.  I park my car next to one of the room and go into the building.
An elderly woman comes out of the backroom and looks at me before walking over.

I lean on the counter and brush my brown hair out of my bangs "Can I help you sir?" I smile and nod my head "Indeed you can ma'am, I'd like a room for one night please." 

She fixes her glasses and grabs a small key "Room number 26, down the hallway and make a left, two doors down on the right side.  That'll be 45." I reach into my wallet and I pull out a fifty "Keep the change." I grab the key and my bag, walking the way she told me to straight to my room.  I walk into the small room and set my bag down.
I sit down on the creaky bed and lay back, resting my arms behind my head as I look at the ceiling.
Now that I think of it..the woman, she was only 13 when I was 16..she had the darkest brown hair I've ever seen.  Eyes an emerald color...by God...i hope I find her soon..
