"WHAM", the basement door slammed shut. Logan stormed in, looking quite angry and upset. But his expression changed when he saw his sister.
"Oh my gosh, Lindy, what happened?" he asked.

Lindy was sitting on the ground, crying, in the middle of a pile of photos, maps and texts.
Logan recognized most of them, a lot of them were pictures of him, Lindy and Garett at their favourite playgrounds and 'secret' hiding places. He remembered those times, it was just fun and games and literally nothing to worry about. Then he looked back at the pile, he saw some maps they made when they were kids, they were supposed to be for finding pirate treasures.
He also saw a bunch of printed out emails and texts, but he couldn't figure out why they would be in a pile of childhood pictures and childish maps.

"He- he- he- he's gone", said Lindy sobbing. "And- and- I- I- I- ca-a-an't find him."
"Who's gone?" asked Logan, not knowing how to handle his crying sister.
"Lindy? Who's gone? What are al those things?
Please answer me Lindy, I just want to help."

Logan was really confused, he had never seen his sister like this before. Sure she was upset when their pet goldfish died, or when she was little and people were mean to her. But since high school, everything seemed to be going perfectly fine. They had a great group of friends and he always assumed everything was going great at school too because she had mostly A's.

Lindy was still sobbing, "Ga- Garrett, Garretts gone. It's all because of me. I'm a terrible person."
"That's not true Lindy! You're a great person. And ofcourse we'll find Garrett. Everything will be fine." Logan responded, without knowing what his sister was talking about, because he just saw Garrett the day before and couldn't think of anything that Lindy could have done to upset Garrett, they never really fight.


Delia stormed in, followed Jasmine. Logan gave her an angry glare, something Lindy wasn't expecting. She thought they were getting along fine, just as always, they're good friends and lately Lindy thought they maybe would turn into something more. But she had been wrong about a lot of things these past few weeks, so maybe she was wrong about this too.

"Linds, what's going on? Why are you on the ground in the middle of all that stuff? What are you trying to find?" Jasmine asked, but Lindy wouldn't stop crying.
"Something about Garrett being gone and it all being Lindy's fault." Logan said.
While Jasmine looked confused, and angry at Logan, Delia look worried.

Lindy didn't want to upset them, she really didn't, she had already dissapointed and upset enough people she cared about, but she couldn't help it. It was like her whole world fell apart and if she talked about it she would take her friends with her in the crash.

"What could have happened? Why is Garrett gone?" Delia asked.

Maybe it was better to talk about it, maybe they could even help find him. Not that she wanted to talk to Garrett in front of everyone, the things she wanted to say were kind of private, but that would be something to worry about after they found him.
So Lindy stopped crying, dried her face with her sleeve and walked over to the couch.

"I'll tell you, but it's a pretty long story, it started around 5 weeks ago, when Delia asked me and Garrett to perform in her play."
