"@All, Guys! I just got off the phone with Katelyn Crow! She said she thinks she saw Alice out by the Lighthouse! She was with a group of people. Kate said she kept her distance just incase it was some drug deal or something. Anyway, she said there's a haze starting to roll in, so she couldn't make her out perfectly, and she was just going by on her way home before curfew hits. Anyone still out? Maybe they were going for those photos!"

"Btw… A fucking DRUG DEAL?!! Not a kidnapping? I guess the rumors are getting around! 🤬"

"That's who called me. Yep. You know we dated right? Anyway, she didn't say it WAS a drug deal, but it seemed like a sketchy group, and I don't think anyone alone this late in the day is gonna just go up to a suspicous group. Especially with two people missing.

Be careful Morgan. Even if it is Alice, I have no clue about these people with her."

"My dad said he’s got his phone ready to call 911 if anything looks weird! Just hope they have people available to get out here quick if it is her!!

Nearly there now! Give me five mins!"

"Couldn’t see them! We DID stop a woman who was walking her dog! She said that she also saw a group like that!

She hadn’t heard the name Alice Briarwood though. So couldn’t say it was her or not!"

"Sorry, Jack! 😔"

"Damn. Well, thanks for checking anyway. I'm tempted to 'borrrow' the car if any other leads pop up. It's possible that was Alice, but maybe they moved on. 😮‍💨

Side note, I can't get ahold of the others.. Did they all get grounded?"

"Wouldn’t surprise me if Jordan’s parents freaked because she went to meet CJ. Dakota… who knows. Maybe her parents are being careful."

"I hope Alice knows how much you guys care about her! When she gets back from whatever the hell this is, I’m going to tell her about all the butt you guys kicked!

@Jack and @Steven… she’s really lucky to have you guys! And… well, me too! That girl is lucky!"

"She probably just thinks I'm an asshole like John. I do care. Few seem to anymore. But I tried to be the person our dad isn't. Keep her out of trouble, ya know? But apparently I just drove her off. Maybe into worse stuff.. I guess everyone has to make their own choices in life. I just hope those choices aren't putting her in danger.

Thanks again everyone, whatever is going on, it's touching to see so much support for Alice coming together. I literally couldn't have handled this alone."

I don't know WTF is going on with her right now, but it's probably stereotypical teenage rebellion. Most of us do it for a while. But -- None of this is your fault, @Jack. You're just easier to lash out at than your Dad, and you know your whole fam is feeling some type of way about the home sitch.

Don't blame yourself. Seriously. And, we'll find her.

Oh shit! I... ok, look. I gotta go check something out. Fuck the curfew. Gimme some time, but if you don't hear from me in a bit:

You know the old shipping yard up the road from the boardwalk? The closed one? If you don't hear from me, send the fucking police.

"Damn Steven, you got me worried even more. You're right though. Fuck this curfew, and fuck being grounded. Not sitting here while my sis is missing."

I called the cops!! Y'all were right about CJ!!!

That shipping yard, Camden's Shipping? Yeah. That's why we couldn't find him. I got a text from an unknown number that just said "camdns" and it took me a minute to figure it out, but... I got there, slipped through a hole in the chain link, and poked around. The office was locked up tight. The warehouse was mostly empty. But all those shipping containers...

I started poking around the stacks, and heard banging.

I found Brie. She... was in rough shape. There were multiple sets of handcuffs bolted to the wall, and she was chained up. There was a sleeping bag, some cans of food and bottled water, and a couple of shop lights. There were some knives, and I found half a box of 9mm ammo but no gun.

I got Brie out, and just got her to the ER. I'm in the waiting room still trembling.

A day ago I wouldn't have pissed on her if she was on fire but now... fuck, I feel so bad for her.

"There's cops all over the place now. I told mom and she's freaking out. They won't let anyone in, and haven't said who all or what all they found. Fuck!

I'm listening to the scanners now. No arrests yet. Maybe they were relocating? No calls yet about Alice. I gotta do something..

@Steven, Dude, legit, you're a hero now. Holy shit though, I can't believe that's happening here. What the fuck!

@Morgan, Can you get ahold of the others? I'm super paranoid right now. Heck. Call the parents if you gotta."

There are cops at Camden's? I thought they were all here with me. Seriously the ER got packed like 5 minutes after I messaged you guys.

@Jack Thanks man, but I don't feel like a hero. I feel like a 16 year old who is going to need a lot of therapy. There was dried blood. Not like, "we hung the deer by its hind legs" amounts but shit. Considering the circumstances, ANY is too much.

They won't let me go check on Brie either, and I think my car is a crime scene since she was in it. Fucking fuck.
