                  “Thank you so much again for taking me in early and having my windows done on the same day,” I say to Dave as I shake his hand.
                  “No problem if you have anymore issues just give me a call,” he says as he hands me his business card.
              “Will do and thank you again.” I greet him with a smile and end up handing him a ten dollar tip.
                  I hop into my car and turn on my radio, turning the volume on the lowest level. I drive around for an hour or two, trying to see if I can find Leanne on the streets again. The note that was left in my car the other night drives me insane and the fucking phone call from Kristen makes it even worse. I don't want to believe this is happening to me. I hope I wake the fuck up soon and all this would be a fucking dream and I'd find Leanne sleeping soundly in her bed. I feel so damn empty inside without my sister. I need her here with me more than ever now since mom died. She's all I ever worry about. I know I failed at keeping her safe and I feel like rabid animals are eating away at my soul. For a minute, I wonder what my mom fucking thinks of me now and I debate on whether I should take a visit to her grave. After several minutes of it scrolling around my mind, I decide not to.
                  Suddenly my phone rings and buzzes on the passenger seat. I pick it up without looking to see who is calling keeping my eyes on the road ahead of me.
                  “Hello?”
              “Did you find her yet?” Jessie’s voice plays over softly and I can sense she's worried. Brandon must have told her what happened.
                  “No, not yet, I'm still out looking for her but-” I cut off, not wanting to tell her I know who has her. It will just worry her more and probably make her feel guiltier than she already is.
                  “I tried calling her phone, but it keeps going to voice mail. I'm sacred, Collin. Where is she?” her words quieter than before and her voice cracking. I can hear her quietly sniffling through the phone, meaning she must be crying.
              “Don't worry, Jessie, I'm a find her, I promise you.” I try to comfort her, but I know that I don’t have much time. I pause, thinking to myself at how I hope that the conversation is short.
                  “Okay Collin, please call me when you do and I'm so sorry. I- I should have had her stay close to me.” Her voice is sincere and I know that she means it, but I don’t know if I can forgive her, or anyone for what happened just yet.
                  I sigh before replying. “It's okay.” I nod. “Get some rest, I'll call to check on you later,” I reply.
              “Okay, bye.”
              “Bye.”
                  She hangs up and I toss my phone back to the passenger seat and grip the steering wheel as tight as I possibly can. My foot eases more and more on the gas until I'm almost going seventy-five miles per hour and my anger boils up more and more. I take a deep breath and exhale as I can hear my mom’s voice now.
              “Don't drive to fast, Collin. I don't need to lose my only wonderful son.”
                  I chuckle and shake my head at the thought of it. I ease my foot off the gas pedal a little and drive back at the normal speed as I pass by my mom's favorite restaurant 'JACKAL'S'. She loved going there. I smile as I see the people in the window inside, enjoying breakfast and being around family and friends. I smirk and put my eyes back on the road, thinking about the memories that Leanne, mom, and I all created there. A little while later, I drive past a park slowly hoping to see if Leanne is there, even though I know damn well the I-Ten's have her, but I wonder where are they
