“Okay,” Alissa said, pushing her hair back. “We all went to the pool and had drinks. Everything was fine until Jessica started buying. That must have been when she drugged Sarah because before we could even make it to the room, she was sick. We laid her down and she passed right out.”

“I don’t know what she used, but it was strong and kicked in fast. Everything was blurry and I felt like the room was spinning. Then nothing. I don’t even remember making it to the room.”

Trent pulled her to his side.

“We thought that maybe she just drank too much and we hadn’t eaten so after we got Sarah settled, we went to dinner. We were going to let her sleep it off and bring her back some food to help her sober up.”

“Okay, then what happened?” Dane asked sitting beside Alissa. He leaned in toward her, resting his elbows on his knees.

“We had more drinks with dinner, then we played around in the Casino for a bit before going back to the bar. Lennox went to get Sarah some dinner while Jessica and I stayed in the bar taking shots. That’s when she drugged me. She got the last round.”

“So that was the last time you saw Lennox?” I asked.

“Yeah, when she went to get Sarah food. I don’t even remember how I got in here, but she had to have helped her. Jessica couldn’t carry me on her own.”

“What time was that?”

Alissa shrugged. “Around eleven, I guess.”

I looked at the clock, it was one A.M. Lennox had been missing for two hours.

“Fuck! What are we going to do now?”

Trent stood, suddenly filled with energy, probably from the anger and adrenaline that was coursing through us all. “Let the girls stay here, they can eat and sober up and us three will separate. We can cover more ground that way. Check all the bars, clubs, casinos, anywhere you think they could’ve went.”

“What can we do? No way can we go back to sleep now,” Alissa said walking us to the door.

“Call the police and fill them in on what’s going on. I doubt there is much that they can do since she hasn’t been missing that long, but they need to be aware of the situation,” I told her as we were walking out.

The three of us went in our separate directions. I checked every place she could be in the hotel and asked if Jessica, or Chris had a room reserved. When I came up empty handed in the casino, pool, gym, bar, and restaurant, I left the hotel.

I walked down the street and went into the first bar I came across. I showed the bartender Lennox’s picture, asking him if he had seen her.

“What is this, some kind of joke?”

“No, this is my fiancée and she’s missing. Has she been in here tonight?”

“Pal, I think you need to get some sleep. That girl is Lennox Madison, the famous country music singer. You expect me to believe you’re lucky enough to marry her?” He laughed.

I shook my head, feeling my head start to swim from my high blood pressure. “Just humor me, huh? Has she been in here?”

He laughed. “I can say for certain, she has not been in a dump like this.”

I pushed past a crowd of people as I made my escape. I walked for miles, I looked in every bar I passed. I stopped in every fast food joint, bar, and club.

I came up empty handed.

We all went back to the girls room, defeated.

“Did you find her?” Alissa asked rushing to Dane’s side.

“Nope and we looked everywhere, some places twice between the three of us,” he answered looking haggard.

I crashed into a lounge chair. “Where the fuck could she have gone?”

Alissa sat at Dane’s side. “Do you think Chris had anything to do with all of this?”

“That was my initial thought, but he’s supposed to be on house arrest.”
