Skyler slammed the phone down and jumped up.
Joey and Chris jumped and Sheena and Tina screamed.
"They found her!" Skyler yelled.
That's all it took to get them up and running to the car, everyone piled into Chris's car and they pulled out.

"And you are going to stop us?" Lance asked.
Mandi was surprised at how scary his voice sounded. She'd never have imagined he could hurt someone. Or even be mean, for that matter.

"Yes, I do." Josh said, the smirk not leaving his face.
"You can't be serious." JC commented, standing up from his place beside Mandi.
