(Can I be Emily?)

"Kris, I probably just drove our daughter away. The feeling I have right now isn't something I can just let out," Luke said quietly, lifting his head to look at her.

Cecilie squeezed his hand tightly, overcome with worry.

Kris sighed and pulled back. She just wanted to help a little bit. Even if it wasn't much. She stood. "I'm going down to the police station."

Jack was worried too. He loved his kids so much.

(Sure.)

Lelani ran up to her twin's room. "Em?! Did you hear? JJ's gone."

[twofrogsinacoat]

Luke watched her. "I'm coming too."

Cecilie pressed her forehead to the cool glass of the window.

Emily looked up from the book she was reading in shock. "What?! What are you talking about?"

[bibliophile;]

Kris grabbed the keys and walked out to the car. After she got in she waited for him

Jack pulled in and got out.

Lelani nodded. "Mom and Dad couldn't find him." She sat by Emily.

[twofrogsinacoat]

Luke followed her. He got in as well.

Cecilie climbed from the car, wringing her hands. If her baby was gone, she didn't know what she'd do.

Emily sat up, her hand covering her mouth. She stared at her twin in shock. "Are you serious?"

[bibliophile;]

Kris started the car and drove off. She snapped the radio off when she realized it was on.

Jack took her hand and walked in.

Lelani nodded. She loved her parents and all but she always went to her older brother for advice or comfort if she couldn't go to Emily.

Luke sat in the passenger seat for once. He stayed silent except for the occasional, "I'm so sorry."

Cecilie bit her lip and looked around. "Where do we go?"

Emily took her hand from her mouth and shook he head quickly. "This can't be happening." She absolutely adored her brother, and now he was gone. "We have to find him." She immediately grabbed her phone and called JJ.

[bibliophile;]

"I guess just up to the desk," he said.

Kris sighed, keeping her eyes on the road but they filled with tears.

Lelani watched her, biting her lip.

JJ looked at his phone. Emily. He sighed, wondering if he should answer.

[twofrogsinacoat]

Cecilie nodded slightly and followed him.

Luke reached over and took her hand gently.

Emily bounced her knee anxiously as the phone rang on the other end. "Come on JJ..."

[bibliophile;]

Jack walked up anf waited.

Kris pulled over because she couldn't see.

He answered. "You can't tell Mom and Dad," he said, stepping out so he didn't wake Sarah.
