"I'm looking for wedding photos."
'Wedding photos?' Alanna thought to herself.
"You should be in bed."
"Well, why can't I find any?" Isaac questioned, as she led him along.
"Uhh, well, well, there was a fire -"
"And why aren't we wearing wedding rings?"
"I, uhh, you, whoever bashed you must have taken your ring. You didn't have anything of value on you, so, that must have been what happened to yours. And, I, uhh, I lost it while I was having a shower. It, umm, fell down the drain. We were going to replace it, but there was that fire so..."
"Oh, I see." Isaac answered, curling up in the bed. "How long have we been married?"
"Uhh, just a couple of months."
"Oh."
Alanna handed him the remote for the tv.
"Here." She said. "I have to go to work now ok?"
"Ok, see ya."
"Bye Honey."
Alanna left the room.
"This is gonna be harder than I thought." She said to herself.

Rita sighed and looked at Taylor.
"I don't remember seeing her so upset." She told him.
Taylor didn't answer, and Rita sat next to him.
"Something must have happened." Taylor said. "I mean, we know something happened, his stuff got stolen, but you know, he hasn't been checked into any hospitals or anything."
"I hope he's ok."
"Yeah, me too."
There was quiet.
"I really hate sitting around like this. Especially with the cops in the other room. I'm not sure I like having the phone tapped."
"Neither do I. I really hope it isn't abduction."
"I hope it isn't either. I just want my brother back."
Rita wrapped her arms around him as he buried his face in her shoulder.
