Helen walked up the front path of the Collins home. Nice. Smart. A maintained front garden with a path down the middle. The door opened before she reached it. The father, his face was pale.

“Thank you for coming so soon. I tried to call the school but they’re not answering. I don’t know what else to do. Why aren’t the school answering their telephone?”

Helen brought him into the house and took the particulars. She asked the standard questions. When had he noticed she was missing? Did she have any friends she could be with?

“Her best friend is Danesha Pierce,” the father said.

Helen nodded. “I know.”

Three girls in three days. Jemima would make four. The general rule is if something happens once it’s an accident, twice it’s coincidence and three times it’s deliberate… Late last night it was decided to assign six people to piecing the timeline together of the girls. That task was almost complete without a single red flag. Three girls gone. All hell would break loose if Jemima Collins became the fourth.

The girl’s room was typical. Pastel colours, pinks and purples. White furniture. A desk, dresser, wardrobe and drawers. A poster on the wall of baby white tigers. A laptop computer on her desk. Pens in a mug. A green school uniform hanging on the back of the chair. Makeup on the dresser. The letter writing paper…

Oh, my God… There was a pad of lilac coloured writing paper on Jemima’s desk. Helen recognised it immediately. Lilac coloured pages. The same as the Slenderman notes.

“Have you touched anything?” she asked. “The bedding, her clothes?”

“No. Nothing…” the father covered his eyes with his palms. “Oh, God, I can’t do this. Not Jay as well.”

“Have you touched her mobile phone? Have you turned on her computer?”

“No.”

“I’m serious, you didn’t turn on the laptop?”

“No. Listen. Jemima is gone, but I didn’t touch anything.”

Helen held up her hand to silence him and stepped into the room. “Please stay at the door,” she said. “I’m going to grid search the room.”

The father was looking white.

Helen began at the door and moved counter clockwise. The drawers were first. She pulled the top drawer out completely and searched through it. Socks and underwear. A cigar box with printed photographs, kids taking selfies. She went to the next drawer down, more clothing. She pulled out the last drawer against the floor and spotted something under the furniture. She searched the drawer first, more clothes, then she reached under the furniture to see what Jemima had hidden. It was a collection of erotic novels.

“Oh, God.” The father had both hands over his mouth and nose. He was breathing hard.

“This is normal, Mr Collins. Young girls always make hiding holes for their private things.” The father was looking at the books and she could see his eyes were tearing up. The covers were tasteful pictures of women in lingerie but the titles ranged from ‘Temptation’ and ‘Girls on Top’ to the more sinister sounding, ‘Forced to Submit’ and ‘Taken and Used’.
