I go to Cathy's room in the morning after Mike tells me that she wanted me to wake her up today to find the damn note! f**k! I holler for Mike and he comes instantly. I hand him the note while dialing Fred's number.
I hear Mike swear under his breathe as I run for the car keys. He follows me. I tell Fred everything while he starts driving.
She left at night. It's been more than ten hours. I hope she is fine. She wouldn't have gone far, would she?
We are still looking for her, showing her picture in the neighborhood lest somebody had seen her go somewhere half an hour later, when Fred calls and tells us he has got her. She was in a park a couple of blocks away. We quickly drive to the stupid park to see Fred trying to comfort a distressed little Cathy.
She sees us and runs into my arms.
