"Stay right here kids, do not move. I'll be right back," said Emily as all of her 3 kids nodded.

Emily wasn't stupid enough to make the same mistake twice so she made sure to lock the door with her key before leaving.

Where was she going to, you may ask?

To check around the house for the girl of course!!

Just to be safe and make sure she still wasn't here...

Emily begins next door across the hallway and into the only bathroom of the house.

Nothing.

She then goes more deeper inside the hallway all the way towards her own room.

She checks under the bed, in her closet, and even in her own private bathroom.

Absolutely nothing.

She then goes, one by one, into all 3 of the guest rooms of that floor.

Guest room number one.

She checked under the bed, in the closet it had, and anywhere else this girl would be hiding.

Nope.

Not here.

Guest room number two.

She only had to look around the room since it was empty & didn't have any furniture anywhere yet.

Nothing to see here.

She had even checked in the bathroom that was connected to this room and didn't find anyone there.

There wasn't much furniture in the rooms because after all, they had just moved into the house the previous night.

Last but not least...

Guest room number three.

Emily checked under both of the beds in there and also under the table.

She even checked inside the empty vase that was on top of the table, yet to be put with flowers inside.

You never know right?

She then went into another smaller room that was connected to the room...

And what she saw next wouldn't be believed by anyone if one didn't see it with their own eyes.

Laying in front of her beautiful eyes was the cup of coffee that Corey had given her earlier today, with a phone number still scribbled on it...

But didn't she put it inside the fridge once she had gotten inside the house??

"B- But I thought I put this in the fridge?," said Emily out loud as she raised a suspicious eyebrow at it and shrugged it off.

Maybe she left it here without realizing it...

Unless she was going crazy.

Maybe she is...

She quickly ran back to her room to get a pen and paper and ran back to the small room.

Emily wanted to write down the number for when she found her phone so she could have Corey's number with her.

Because what if she had accidentally thrown out the cup??

THAT would be devastating.

Right?

After writing the phone number down, she then found the nearest trash can in the bathroom and threw the cup in.

Since the attic upstairs had a lock, there was no way the girl could have gone inside there...

Right?
