The next day, they met up. ‘Hey!’, Lea said while waving her arm swiftly. ‘Heya! Y'all got any ideas on what to do next?’, Emma spoke. ‘Since we already have her name. We can simply find her parents' name and try to find their address’, Zach suggested. ‘Yeah, It’s simple and we don't have to do anything extra’, Amari said as she deeply supported Zach’s idea.

Lea opened her laptop and clicked onto dozens of buttons. ‘Got it!’, Lia screamed with pure joy. ‘Soo?~~, what’re their names?’ Emma asked out of curiosity. ‘It says, “ William Miller” and “Brooke Miller”.’, Lea responded.’ I know just where to find them!''Amari said, filled with joy. ‘Come this way!’, Amari continued. They walked through the house.

They walked into the beautiful house. It was a beige colour and it reflected the clear sky. The bungalow reminded them of the cabin they saw back in the forest but this time, it was much better. They walked by the entrance. ‘Hello?’ Emma said as she knocked on the door. ‘Yes?’, A lady responded. She had long dark brown hair, wearing a white shirt and a red sweater on top.

‘Are you Brooke Miller?’, Emma asked kindly. ‘Yes, I am, Brooke responded. ‘We...Would like to know what happened to…your daughter? We know its too sudden but we’re here to help!’, Emma continued. Brooke’s face went pale. ‘Come inside’, Brooke said in a low tone.

They went inside and sat in their seat. ‘It happened a week ago...Charlotte got a letter from the school, accepted her audition, and let her into their school. The next day, a man dressed in a suit came along. We never noticed his face as he wore sunglasses and covered his face. He came and showed us proof he was there to bring our Charlotte to the school. He took her into a car. We thought he was the man to take her for the audition but I bet he wasn't. After she left...She didn't respond to our texts and nor did she respond. We contacted the school but they said that they never entered her. So...We gave a complaint but unfortunately the police still has no leads’, Brooke said sadly.

‘Thank you! Although, is it alright to ask if you have the letter?’, Zach asked. ‘We don’t have it. But, I have a piece of cloth the person who took Charlotte away wore and he gave us his phone number but i'm pretty sure that isn't his actual phone. Brooke replied.’ Can you send it over to me please?", Emma asked. ‘Here’, Brooke responded as she handed over the cloth ‘Thank you so much! We believe that your daughter is alive and well. We will get her back and find whoever attempted to hurt her’, Lea said determined

Finally, Amari responded " My best friend's mom had been murdered. The police hadn’t gotten any leads. After we found your complaint and heard about it...We knew you’d be having a hard time and suffered. So we just want to help!"
Brooke said 'I'm sorry For asking. Yet, I know how it's like to lose the people you love, we are in this together I'll be here if you need anything, "
Lea smiled at Brooke and exclaimed "Thanks for the help,"
And they all left "Now what? We have no more clues, " Zach said as he sighed.‘ Oh well, at least we have the cloth and the phone of that mysterious dude. But I bet the phone part was a trap.

"OMGGG!" Screamed Emma "there's a name at the back of the cloth. We’re gonna find this murderer!!"
"You're so loud, I bet Texas heard you," said Zack
"But she has a point. Lets continue tomorrow" Said Lea. ‘ Anyway, what did your mom say about going to the camp next month?’, Emma asked. ‘As you’d expect, my mom said no. She needs me to take care of my little brother’, Amari said with a pout. ‘Oh well, you’ll get the break you deserve’, Lea added. They all giggled
