hotel suite. 
    "Hi Jack. Nice
to see you again. Um, this is my boyfriend, Matt." Matt looked
slightly starstruck as he shook the lead singer's hand.
    "Nice to meet
you. Now, would someone please tell me what the hell's going on?"
    Erica took a deep
breath, and cast an anxious look at Jared before she began. "Sara's
missing. She went out this evening and she's not come home. Her
phone's going straight to voicemail. I'm worried she's in real
trouble."
    Jack furrowed his
eyebrows. "Look, I don't mean to sound cruel, but might you be
overreacting a bit? She's a grown woman, is it really a national
emergency if she's not checked in by 2am?"
    "I should have
known you'd say something like that.Why would you even care?"
    "Hey, wait,
that's not what I meant! I just mean, she probably just met up with
some friends, or, you know, met someone... "
    "She's not
like that. But look, that's not all, I mean..."
    "Jack, she
went looking for Laura." Jared cut through Erica's mumbling.
Jack felt like he'd been stabbed in the gut.
    "Sorry, what?"
    "She went
looking for your stupid sister, because despite the fact you treated
her like a complete asshole, she still seems to care about you."
    "Erica thought
she'd spotted Laura in a bar the other day," Jared clarified,
"so Sara went to check it out. She knew how much finding Laura
meant to you."
    "Yeah, and now
she's fucking missing. Some strip joint sleazeball could be doing
god-awful things to her right now, and it's all your fault."
    "Woah, Erica,
I'm sorry but...wait, a strip joint? Laura was at a strip club?"
    "We don't even
know that it was Laura, Jack," Jared said levelly, ever the
voice of reason. "But we do know that Sara went to investigate,
alone, and now nobody can get in touch with her. That probably isn't
good."
    "Did you call
the police?"
    "They said
pretty much what you did, " Erica snarled, " that she'd
probably hooked up and forgotten to call. They won't even do anything
until she's been gone for 48 hours." 
    "Which I think
you'll agree, is too long to wait." Jared said. 
    "Damn right it
is. Shit, Sara, what were you thinking? Why would she go alone?" 
    "I should have
gone with her. I knew something was going to go wrong." Erica's
voice cracked a little, and Matt put his arm around her.
    "Jack, I
figured we should go down and have a look for ourselves. I've called
the security company, a couple of the boys will meet us down there
for back up. I hope you don't mind me calling you...I figured you'd
want to help. And if Laura is there, well, it's you she's going to
want to see." 
    "Thanks Jared.
You did good. And Erica, look, I know I hurt Sara a lot. But please
don't think I don't care about her. I really, really do. And I'm
going to do everything in my power to get her back safe, ok."
    "Let's all
just try to stay calm, okay," Jared reasoned. "With any
luck, it will all be a big misunderstanding, a flat tire or
something."

    Sara's eyes burned
as the room suddenly flooded with light. As her vision adjusted, she
saw a tall, bulky figure silhouetted in the door way. A spasm of fear
ran through her.
    "Wakey wakey
sleepy head," the man grunted, giving a low chuckle.
    Sara opened her
mouth to speak, but fear made the words stick in her throat.
    "Seems like
you've been asking a lot of questions. Poking your nose in where it
isn't wanted. Now I've got a couple of questions for you, missy."
The man moved closer, and Sara willed herself not to flinch. He had a
sallow, flabby face, with a pair of dark eyes that seemed to bore
into her. Dressed in a grubby tank top and ripped jeans, his muscly
arms were covered in garish tatoos. Sara shuddered as she noted the
handle of a gun poking out of the waistband of his jeans. The guy
radiated agression. She knew she was in trouble.
    "So tell me,
little girl. What are you doing, barging into my club, bothering my
best dancer."
    "I...I'm
sorry, I didn't mean to bother anyone. I thought she was someone I
knew, but I guess I was mistaken."
    "You
