WHEN OLIVIA knocked on the door to the Henderson house, she did not expect to see an overwhelmed and upset Claudia Henderson standing behind it.
"Oh, hi, Olivia," she spoke, quickly trying to wipe a few tears from her eyes. Olivia fixed her brown turtleneck as she examined the woman.
"Miss Henderson, are you okay?" she asked, her eyebrows furrowed in concern.
"Mewsy ran away." she cried, trying to put on a fake smile.
"Aw, Miss Henderson, come here." Olivia wrapped her arms around the woman in a tight embrace. Mews was the Hendersons' cat. She was a little old and a little grumpy, but Olivia always pet her on her way out of the house.
"Dusty said the McCorkles saw her in Loch Nora," Claudia spoke hopefully, pulling back from the hug.
"All the way out there?" Olivia's eyes widened in disbelief. If she had to be completely honest, she thought that was impossible. For a cat that old to walk almost a mile and a half was unheard of.
"I was headed out there now. I know you're here to tutor Dusty, but could you maybe help him look? Make a call or two?" she asked desperately. Olivia could tell how distraught Claudia was, and she wasn't about to say no to a crying forty-year-old woman.
"Of course," she replied.
"Oh, Olivia, thank you! You're an angel!" she exclaimed, embracing her once more.
"You'll find her," she told Claudia as they switched spots.
"I'll find her!" she responded, getting into her car. Olivia watched as the car drove out of the driveway, but was quickly torn away from the door by someone.
"Ouch!" she yelled as they squeezed her arm.
"Mews isn't missing," Dustin spoke, letting go of her arm and slamming the door.
"What?" she asked, bewildered.
"I said Mews isn't missing." he scoffed, walking towards his bedroom.
"Dustin!" she called as she raced after him.
"It's actually damn good luck we had a study session today." he continued, ignoring Olivia.
"Dustin, what the hell is going on!" she yelled. She grabbed Dustin's shoulders and shook him lightly, making him groan.
"Mews isn't missing. She's, well, follow me." he spoke as they walked down the hallway towards his room, "Halloween night I found an unknown species of lizard in my dumpster-"
"Wait, really? That's-that's-"
"Tubular, I know. Turns out it wasn't, um, unknown," he explained. They crept towards the bedroom door, Dustin's hand touch the handle lightly.
