Chapter 95: SLOPER RERUN - PART 1
Jessie made her way over to her desk with a container of coffee. Bud was on a call and scribbling notes down on a piece of paper. She no sooner sat down than he motioned for her to get her stuff to leave.
"The Sloper kid is missing again," he said.
"Oh, God, no."
His eyes widened. "They think she's really gone this time."
"Why? Have they received a ransom call?" she asked.
"A hang-up from an unknown number. The father said he could hear Lily screaming in the background." Bud was shaking his head. "I've called in the Feds. Remember that it's now their show, and we're their servants to help in any way we can."
"I'm praying it's another prank," she said.
"It doesn't sound it, Jess. Prepare yourself for the worst and hope for the best." They exited the office. "You drive," Bud said, tossing her the keys.
