Charles turned into the two car driveway. He got out of the dark colored Tahoe. He walked up five steps to the front door. He and Katie had lived in the house since right before Kelly was born. He opened to door to reveal a small dopey eared beagle. " Tobey". He knelt down and petted the now happy dog. The dog licked his face and then sauntered off. He walked into their spacious kitchen.

Just then, Katie Brown rushed in and embraced him. " Charles, what happened to our baby?".

" I don't know". He frowned. " A Detective Springer is talking to Jessica".

" Kelly's roommate".

" She reported that Kelly had gone for a jog". His voice hesitated. " She never came back".

" Never came back". Tears began to flow down her face. " Our baby would never do that".

" I know". He frowned again. " The Detective would like the three of us to talk to Jessica together".

" Ok".
