When I saw the report on my cell phone, I was in complete shock. Among these missing people were my cousin and my best friend. I had to do something, but I wasn't sure how. I ran downstairs as quickly as possible.
"MOM, MOM, MOM!", I shouted, as loud as possible. When I stopped in the living room, I came across my mother, bawling her eyes out. She had already heard the news.
We hopped in the car and drove around the neighborhood, searching for the missing bus 1157. I knew it would do no good, as it had already been an hour since the two masked people, or as I would refer to them, life-ruiners, hopped aboard the bus. They could be anywhere by now.
As we rounded a corner, I saw a slip of paper. At first it seemed like useless litter, but as the wind flipped it over, I saw the very distinct handwriting of Finley. The note read: "Please help. Two hijackers aboard bus 1157. We are heading northbound. Call 364-466-3790 if found." This was the first clue to where Finley and Claire could be.
