“Lexi?” Derek called as he walked down the hall toward the bedroom. He looked in the bathroom and both bedrooms, but Lexi was nowhere to be found.

Panic tightened his chest. Where was she? With Julie? Derek strode outside and rapped lightly on the wood frame of Julie’s patio door. “Julie? Is Lexi with you?”

Julie came over to meet him, a tiny frown furrowed in her brow. “No, Lexi isn’t with me. I thought she was with you. She went into your side of the townhouse, didn’t she?”

“Yes, but I can’t find her. She might be hiding. Can we look around your place?”

“Of course.” She opened the screen door and let him in.

Between the two of them, it didn’t take long to validate the townhouse was empty. His stomach knotted with anxiety as he went back outside onto the patio. “Lexi!” he shouted. “Come home right now!”

“You don’t think she went down to the lake by herself, do you?” Julie asked. She came outside still wearing her scrubs from work. “Maybe we should check the boat.”

Derek was already jogging down toward the lakefront. “Lexi!” Sheer desperation laced his tone. “She’s never done anything like this,” he muttered.

Julie swallowed hard. “We shouldn’t have said anything in front of her,” she said softly.

“She was upset before I picked you up,” he said, knowing full well this mess was his fault. “Your brother and I argued a bit, and then when I packed our suitcases, I could tell Lexi was distressed.” Derek jumped onto the boat. “Lexi?” He looked around at all the places a six-year-old might use to hide, not that there were many.

But the boat was empty.

An overwhelming sense of helplessness hit hard. Where was his daughter?

Dear Lord, help me! Please help me find Lexi! Please keep her safe from harm!
