missing?”
    “Ma’am, I am going to make it my duty to get your child home, I swear, but right now she is still a potiential suspect in this case.”

      Detective Hart return back to the station. He was exhausted. The case was starting to wear on him.Before he could sit at his desk a woman, called out his name. It was Bryce’s mother.
    “Yes, I don’t know if you remember me but-”
    “Miss Henson, Bryce’s mother.” Detective Hart interrupted.
    “Yes. I just wanted to know if you have any leads on my son’s murder?”
    “We’re trying the best we can miss.” He said faintly.
    “Well, I heard that you were looking for his phone. I don’t know if this will help.” She pulled out a green folder. “It’s his phone records.”
      Detective Hart’s eyes lit up in disbelief. He finally had another break in the case. Miss Henson continued. “I’m not too savvy with the computer so it took me a long time to figure out how to download it and print it out.”
      Detective Hart smiled. He wanted to kiss her and give her a tight hug. “Miss, I think we are another step closer to finding your son’s killer.”

      Detective Hart looked through the records carefully. He highlighted every number that was repeated multiple times. He looked up the two numbers that repeated more often than others. Trey’s and Michele’s.
      They were the most recent calls on his log in and out. “So good ol’ Pittman wasn’t lying!” He said out loud to himself. Trey’s number was the last to receive a call from him.

    “Yo Trey, you heard about Sevynn?” Angel said holding the missing person flyer. He handed it over to Trey.
    “Word? I thought she just left out of humiliation.” Trey responded looking at the piece of paper. “Where did you get this from?”
    “Her peoples are out there passing them out. They claim she been missing since before break.” Trey began to feel nauseous.
    “You good man?” Angel asked seeing Trey’s reaction. “You don’t look too good.”
    “I’m fine. I gotta find Michele, I wonder if she knows.” He raced out of the lobby of his dorm hall and ran over to Michele’s room.
      His heart was racing and his palms were sweaty. When he made it to her room before she could even get her door open all the way he pushed his way through.
    “What the fuck!? Trey what’s wrong?” Michele screeched. Trey began to vomit. He held his hand out with the piece of paper that Angel handed to him.
    “What’s this?” Michele said snatching it out of his hand.
    “Did you know she was missing?” He asked finally pulling himself together.
    “I had no idea. I haven’t talked to her since, wow!” Michele sat on the bed holding her head in her hand.
    “She’s been missing since before break.” Brice pointed. “This can’t be happening.”
    “First Bryce now Sevynn.” Michele said with a whisper. “You don’t think she’s dead do you?”
    “I don’t know. I feel bad. I treated her like shit even after all the times she apologized to me.”

    “Hart! Phone.”
    “Who is it?” Detective Hart grabbed the phone holding it to his chest before speaking.
    “It’s about that Sevynn chick.”
    “Yes.” Detective Hart answered finally. “Really? I’m on my way.” He hung up and gathered the officers in the station together.
    “We have a body found on Route 304. It is believed to be that of Sevynn Baker, age 22, who has been reported missing since the first part of December.”
      There was traffic all on the southbound side of  the highway. Drivers were curious as to what was going on as the rubbernecked their way down the road. Police cars and camera crews filled the area. Blue plastic floated in the wind and sparklers lit the road.
      Detective Hart arrived finally after speeding through the traffic with his sirens on. He put on some rubber gloves and walked directed towards the body. Sevynn’s body. He
