A loud rapping at the door startled Michael awake. He rushed to the door, opening it to find a flushed and flustered Damien. “What’s wrong?” he asked.

“We got trouble,” Damien answered, a bit out of breath.

“Trouble? Is it Josie? Is she sick? What?” he asked, pushing through the door past Damien and racing toward Josie’s room.

“She’s gone.”

“What? Gone? Where?”

“Looks like the city, perhaps the train station? I only looked quick. I came to get you right away.”

“Train station? What?”

“Well, I’ve been tracking her phone. I wrote my own little application to track it that will also alert me to out-of-the-ordinary occurrences, like odd times or locations or…” Damien began.

“Yeah, okay, get to the point.”

“Oh, right, well, it alerted me this morning. According to my little tracker, Josie left the house around four thirty this morning and traveled into the city, see?” he brandished his laptop with the blinking red dot.

Michael looked at the screen. “Four thirty? Seriously? Where is she going?”

“No idea, but it might be worth following her.”

“Yeah, I’d say so, let me change and we’ll head down there.”

“Okay, me too.”

The two parted ways to dress for the trip, meeting back in the living room a few minutes later. “Okay, I got phone chargers, laptop, some clothes, basic toiletries, snacks, and I grabbed a few waters. Perhaps you should throw some clothes in just in case? It looks like she’s at the train station, she could be going anywhere.”

“How did you do that so fast?” Michael said, running back upstairs to grab a few things.

Damien followed him up the steps. “Oh, it’s my go-bag.”

“You have a go-bag?”

“Yeah, doesn’t everyone?”

“No?” Michael said grabbing a few things and tossing them into his duffel bag before running to the bathroom to throw a few toiletries in.

“Oh. Hmm. Well, anyway, you ready?”

“As I’ll ever be,” Michael said. The two headed downstairs and continued out the front door. Damien locked it behind them and double-checked that the lights were all out before heading to the car. “Come on, what are you doing?”

“Sorry,” Damien said, throwing his bag in the backseat and climbing into the passenger’s side of Michael’s SUV, “Josie’ll kill me if I left a light on or something.”

“Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. Perhaps she’s seeing the weirdo from the motel off or something.”

“Doubt it, her car is here, so wherever she is, she went in someone else’s car so I have this bad feeling that it’s not that.”

Michael turned the car around in the driveway and made his way down the drive, turning toward the main road. Both of them were silent, lost in thought, wondering what they might find when they caught up with Josie at the train station.

About thirty minutes into their one hour drive to the train station, Damien’s app beeped an alert. “She’s on the move again. Heading north it looks like.”

“So, she’s not coming home, that’s for sure,” Michael responded, knowing they lived west of the city.

“Nope, wonder where she is going. Do you think
