Tara Pearson paced the floor. It was getting dark outside and Erin still
hadn’t returned from basketball practice. She should have arrived
home an hour ago, and now there was a stillness to the night.
Something wasn’t right.
Her mind sped up as she imagined the worst-case scenarios. She had
heard about the kidnappings in Nightshade County, and her imagination
jumped to the possibility that her daughter had become a victim.
Tara tried calling Erin’s phone, but it went straight to voicemail. She
took matters into her own hands and drove to the school where the team
held basketball practice. It was only two blocks away, and Erin always
jogged home from practice, claiming she needed extra training to increase
her endurance.
Snow covered the landscape and glowed blue under the moon and stars.
It was cold enough for Tara to see her breath inside the car, and each
exhalation fogged up the windshield. With the new year behind them, the
city had taken down the Christmas lights. All was barren and icy, as if the
world carried an air of hopelessness.
The school was deserted. Erin wasn’t there. She found the interior drab
and sparsely decorated, with cold gray walls, fluorescent lights, and old tile
floors. Rows of lockers lined the hallways, and there were classrooms with
desks in neat rows. Whiteboards hung on the walls, and a bulletin board
displayed announcements and artwork from students. Everything was
orderly, a stark contrast to the energy of the students during school hours.
She pushed through the double doors and hurried down the steps,
hoping she’d find her daughter working out in the weight room. She passed
the athletic offices. Coach Simmons was still here. Maybe he knew where
Erin was.
Tara found the coach in his office, grading papers at his desk. “Have
you seen my daughter? She was supposed to come straight home after
practice,” she asked, her voice shaking.
He looked up from his paperwork, a puzzled expression on his face.
“Erin? No, not since practice ended. Are you sure she didn’t catch a ride
from one of the girls? It’s freezing tonight.”
“That doesn’t sound right. She would have gotten home by now.”
“It’s possible they stopped for dinner. My suggestion is to call the
parents and check. These kids don’t think when they decide to go
somewhere, and everyone ends up worried for no reason.” He snapped his
fingers. “You know, Erin was talking to Sara during practice, so much that I
made them run laps. I bet they’re at Sara’s house. It seemed like they were
planning something.”
