Babsie hung up. They were backstage of a concert.
"What's happening with Kel?" Rita asked.
"Oh, she's just doing a bit of travelling. Going to a few different bike tracks around the States I believe."
Rita smiled.
"That's sounds like Kel."
"If you ask me, I think she's a little heartbroken and is trying to get Zac off her mind."
Rita looked at her in interest.
"You think she's jealous of Amy?"
"Heck yeah. Especially when I told her about the bet."
Rita winced slightly.
"I still think it was a dumb bet."
"Yeah I know. You ke-"
"Where is she?" Zac cried, running around the corner. "Have you seen her?"
"Seen who?" Rita asked.
"Hope! I, I can't find her!"
Babsie and Rita looked at each other.
"Well, she's not here. Last I saw her, she was with you."
"Oh gosh… damn it I can't find her anywhere!"
"Don't worry Zac, I'm sure she's fine." Babsie assured him. "You keep looking. Have any of you kids seen Hope?"
There was a few 'no's and shaking of heads.
"Ok, umm, you don't mind staying here with the kids while I help do you Rita?"
"No, I'll be fine."
"Ok."
"Thanks." Zac said.
Zac and Babsie left Rita and the kids, then split up to find Hope. While they were searching they alerted others that Hope was missing.
Isaac was the one who found the note.
The ransom note.
