My name is Officer Order. Er, Lauren. I'm a friend of Eliza's. She's been missing for over a week. I found her phone while I was investigating her apartment. Has she contacted? Have you heard anything? I tried calling her brother but he's not picking up.
Hank. I tried calling her too but she obviously doesn't have her phone. Listen, Evander, if you know something you need to tell me. In my work the first 72 hours are crucial because trails go cold and evidence is lost. She's been gone 10 days. Please. *pleads* I know you want to protect her and you don't know me but we don't even know if she's alive. Please.
Who the hell is Hank? Look, the cops didn't need to get involved. That could cause more problems than her being missing at the moment. *hesitates* Well, did you find her body?
Hank is her boyfriend. I guess you haven't talked to her in... *sighs* a while. *Grows quiet as her chest tightens* You don't know anything, do you? About the case? About her wherabouts?
*sighs then* No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying you didn't find her body, so then she's alive. *his voice softens* I didn't know anything about the case but....
*Her heart starts racing* Oh my god! Evander, Is she alive? You've seen her? You know she's alive right? The evidence on the roof suggests she walked away but there was so much blood... Please. If she's contacting you, you have to get her to call me. Tell her to call Lauren. I'll get black and whites for her 24/7. She can stay with me. I just upped the security at my house. I won't let him hurt her again.
You don't understand, Lauren, cops won't do shit to protect her. They wouldn't have a chance against this guy, it's his job to get past cops and security, he's good at what he does. He's practically a ghost at times. She did get away though, she ran and managed to get somewhere to where I could find her.
She was badly hurt, I've got her hidden and she's only starting to move around now.
*Squeezes her eyes shut in relief* Thank god. Look, I'm not just talking about passing her off on a surveillance team but maybe you're right. Hank couldn't even find where you're hiding her. I have to admit that's pretty fucking impressive. If he can't, Linus won't either but you need to know that he's looking for you too. So be careful.
I really need to talk to her as soon as she's able though. Get a pay as you go disposable. I'll hang onto her phone and as soon as I can talk to her I'll have the case dropped but not before. No offense but I don't know you. I'm trusting you because I need to believe she's alive but you really really don't want me to find out if you're jerking me around.
*low noise like a growl* Look, I'm not jerking you around. I'm protecting her at the moment, we've been sticking together since we were small. I bet you I know her far better than you or this Hank guy. I don't know either one of you and trust me, you don't want to be jerking me around either.
But ditch her phone, more than likely he's got it bugged or whatever. I'll have her reach out to you two, I imagine that she wants to. I know he's looking for me, I figured that out as he came after me a long time ago.
Keep an eye out. He'll go after whoever he needs to so that he can finish his job.
You may not know about me but I know about you. She's talked about you. Why do you think I called. I figured if she wasn't contacting me or Hank she must have gone into autopilot when she was injured and went to someone she's trusted forever. It's human nature. I tried her brother then I immediately tried you.
If he does I can try a reverse triangulation. Either way, she can call my phone. If she can't remember the number, it's 805-897-2300.
Best to just contact me from now on or Jadyn but my sister is going underground pretty quick too. I've been trying to convince Eliza she needs to go under too but she's been balking on me, guess I get why now.

We'll get this guy. Don't worry.

We might get to him first.
I'll have her contact you and this Hank soon.

I don't think I have to tell you how incredibly bad an idea it would be going after him but if he finds you, be careful.
Thank you so much Evander.

You're welcome, Lauren.
