I motioned toward the silver car at the end of the parking lot. “Some sort of banging sound coming from over there. You really didn’t hear it?”
“I think it was just one of their doors slamming shut,” Erin said, glancing over at the car. Her eyes were puffy and red-rimmed from staying up for two nights in a row. I probably looked just as bad, if not worse.
I yawned and nodded. “Yeah, that must be it.”
Her mouth stretched in a reactive yawn, and she smothered it with her hand. “We should get going,” she said. “The service is starting in a few minutes.”
The three of us set off down the path that ran along the edge of the lot. While we walked, I checked the Dirt app on my phone. As promised, Bobbi had pinned a post to the top yesterday afternoon.

Hello, Dirt Lovers. Very important post today—I really need your help!
I’ve received a tip that Kinsey Holland has gone MISSING. I believe the police are searching already, but her ankle monitor has gone dead, so they can’t track her that way. Yikes, right?
Anyway, she was last seen at Crown Point Academy at 10:30 on Thursday night. If anyone has seen or heard ANYTHING at all since then, leave a comment below. Her family and friends are very concerned.
PS: I know I’m probably shouting into the wind here, but please refrain from wild speculation in the comments. It’s really not helpful to anyone.
Erin and I had spent hours combing through the hundreds of comments that had been left since the post went live, but we hadn’t found anything useful yet. No one seemed to have seen or heard anything at all in regard to Kinsey’s vanishing act. Still, I couldn’t stop myself from checking the app every few minutes, just in case.
I scrolled to the bottom of the post and went through the most recent comments. Like the others, they were a mixture of speculation, troll responses, and people who were genuinely trying to offer assistance.
Anonymous Snake:Yeah I saw her last night… grinding on my dick hahaha
Anonymous Lion:Everyone else is right, she’s obviously skipped town! She probably hitched a ride with someone. If she left on Thursday night she’s probably made it across the border to Canada already. The police might as well just give up.
Anonymous Badger:I saw her yesterday. She was stabbing some cheerleaders up in Woodsen’s Bay lol
Anonymous Cheetah:OMG shut the fuck up, you guys literally all have the exact same joke. Grow up….
Anonymous Otter:I don’t know if this is helpful at all but late on Thursday night (maybe around midnight?) I was driving home along King Albert Parade and I noticed a car parked near the Kingsley house. At the time I assumed it was a reporter, seeing as they’ve been all over the place lately, but now I’m wondering if it was Kinsey. Maybe she arranged for one of her old friends from Oakland to come and pick her up so she could leave town, and that was the car I saw. Could just be a random person though.
Anonymous Warthog:I think I saw her on Thursday night at the Cat Café on the Boulevard. It might’ve just been someone with similar hair but not sure. Whoever it was, she was hanging out with Kira Blake and Tash Marsden
Anonymous Tiger:I was at the café too. That girl is Kira’s cousin. Their hair is the same for sure. Definitely not Kinsey though
Anonymous Bonobo:Does anyone else think it’s weird that she went missing from the school?? What the hell was she doing there at 10:30 at night?? Is that not totally suspicious?
Anonymous Mouse:She was probably at the football game earlier and was waiting for a ride home. Duh…
Anonymous Ibis:She’s soooo guilty bro I mean why else would she run away?
Anonymous Bat:Maybe Jax got tired of defending her crazy ass and drowned her in their pool haha
Anonymous Wallaby:Ummm here’s a thought, has anyone checked up on Nate Ellingham lately? He HATES Kinsey so maybe he’s got her locked up in a cage somewhere haha
Anonymous Eel:That’s not funny, dipshit. By the way, Nate was with me and five others on Thursday night so he definitely didn’t do anything to Kinsey.
“Anything useful?” Erin asked, nudging me.
I shook my head. “I don’t think so.”
“Damn,” she muttered, shoulders sagging.
My phone started to ring. I stopped in my tracks and lifted a palm to signal to the girls. “Hold on. Kinsey’s mom is calling me.”
Bobbi and Erin lingered on the edge of the path while I took the call. “Hey, Anna. Have you heard any news?”
