Stephen's Point of View
A loud knock echoes through the house and I glance at the clock.
"Well, it took them long enough."
I murmur, placing my whiskey glass down on my desk before making my way towards the front door.
I pull it open to see two uniformed police officers I haven't seen before, flanking a Detective that I know all too well.
"Detective Ruiz. I wish I could say this was a pleasant surprise. What can I do for you today?"
I asks and I step outside onto the porch, pulling the door shut behind me.
"Mr Caldwell, this is officers Riley Pentz and Dawson Bennet. Is your daughter Rachel Benson here by chance?"
I shake my head, folding my arms in front of my chest.
"No, I haven't seen or heard from her in a few days. Why? Did something happen?"
"Is this your car?"
