It's been days since I left Dylan and New York City.
There were times when my phone would ring and the screen would show Dylan's name on it.
But each time he would call, I would reject it.
Not many clues had turned up about how to find Mandy.
Each time I thought I had a lead, it only turned out to be a dead end.
I became frustrated that I couldn't find her.
But then again I thought that maybe she was looking for me.
I just needed to think of something to get her to come to me.
There must have been a way to do it.
But how?

I sat down on a tree truck and closed my eyes. Jasmine sat down next to the truck and rested for a few minutes before trying to look for something to eat.
My phone rang.
Instead of Dylan's name showing up on the screen, it showed Mandy's name. I opened my eyes and answered the phone.
" Hey. What's the big idea? Why you looking for me, Dawn? Shouldn't you be with Dylan?" She says loudly.
" The big idea is I am trying to find my mom's killer. I am not with Dylan right now. I am looking for you because I need your help with something else." I say.

" Well whatever. You should go back home to Dylan. He has been really worried about you. Ok, I will be there in a few minutes, just wait wherever you are." She says before hanging up.
I put my phone back into my bag and waited.
When Mandy showed up, she wore a blue shirt,black pants, and brown combat boots.
" Ok. So what's the deal with you leaving New York?" She says.
I stood up and said " The deal is that I need your help to use my angel powers and maybe find out about my mom along the way too." I say.

" Ok fine. Whatever. I'll help you but first you must promise me something." She says folding her arms.
" Ok. I promise. But what is it that I am promising exactly?" I say.
" Promise me when this is all over, you go back home to Dylan." She says.
" Fine. I promise." I say.
" So, where do we start looking for your mom?" She says.
" To be honest, I have no idea." I say.
" What? You have no idea. Geez. This is going to take longer than I thought. Fine. We will go back to town and think of a plan after dinner. Then just maybe you might get to meet some of my friends there." She says.
I nod my head in agreement.

" But I think there is someone who you haven't met yet, Mandy." I say grinning. 
" And who might that be? She says frowning.
" My friend Jasmine."  I say.
I picked up Jasmine and showed her to Mandy.
" Ok. Nice to meet you, Jasmine. Now can we get going before it gets dark?" She says.
" Um.. Sure" I say.
Then Jasmine, Mandy and I all went back to town together.
