It had been 3 days since she texted Bailey, and still had no reply. Sierra was worried that something had happened to her Bailey. Sierra was pacing back and forth when her mom came down the stairs with Sophie. "Can I ride my bike over to Bailey's house?" she asked her mom. "Now?" her mom asked, "I was going to start breakfast,". "It'll be quick," Sierra pleaded. "Fine, but be back soon," her mom said sitting Sophie into her highchair. Sierra slid her tennis shoes on and ran outside to her bike. She had to make sure Bailey ok. Sierra peddled out of the driveway and down the street. She made a left and peddled harder, she was almost there. She made a right and then was on Bailey's street. She pulled up to the brick house and ran up to the door. Sierra rang the doorbell and hoped someone was home. To her luck, Bailey's mom answered the door. "Hello," she said smiling, "what can I do for you?". "Is Bailey home?" Sierra asked. "No, she went to your house a few days ago," Bailey's mom said, "didn't she show up?". "No, and I haven't been able to get ahold of her since then," Sierra said," I was hoping she was here,". "Oh my gosh, come in my dear," Bailey's mom said ushering Sierra into the house. "We need to call the police," Bailey's mom said, "I hope nothing has happened to her,". Bailey's mom quickly got on the phone with the police. Sierra nervously paced the living room. Bailey's mom put the phone on the counter, "Honey, it's going to be ok. The police are going to fine Bailey,". Sierra smiled but said nothing. "I think I'm gonna head home, my mom said to hurry back," Sierra said to Bailey's mom as she walked to the front door. "Be safe Sierra, and don't worry we'll find her," Bailey's mom said as she shut the door. Sierra took her time going home, she wasn't in the mood to do anything. The ride home was over to soon as she saw her house down the street. She parked her bike in the garage and shut the garage door. "I was starting to wonder if you were ever coming home," her mom laughed as she put bread in the toaster. "Why don't you help me set the the table," her mom said smiling. Sierra grabbed plates, and silverware and set them out on the table. "Call your brother and dad up from the basement," her mom said. Sierra called them up and went back to the kitchen. Everyone say down at the table to eat but was soon interrupted. Ding-Dong. Sierra sighed," I'll get it,". Sierra opened the dot but no one was there. She stepped outside and heard a crackling sound. She looked down and moved her foot, she had stepped on a piece of paper. She picked it up and read it.

Sierra,
I have your friend. Meet me at the alley between John's bakery and the library. Bring nothing and no one.
