“I don’t know, Will …it…it just
doesn’t seem like a good idea.”
“Mariah, I’m pretty sure it will be
perfectly fine. Come on, Joe and your sister are way ahead of us now.”
Mariah took a few deep breaths and
started walking towards the closed trail.
“I still don’t think this is a very
smart idea and it’s not my fault if we get in trouble, okay?” Mariah stated in
a firm voice.
Will looked at Mariah, nodded his
head and walked faster.
Mariah and Kayla had been best
friends with Joe and Will for as long as they could remember. When they were
all together their daring sides came out.
They did everything together whether it was stupid or not, and for sure
this was stupid.
“Good Morning, Dan. So tell me what
we’re looking at right now.” Detective Jules asked as she handed Detective Dan
an extremely large coffee.
“Oh, thank you very much. I really
needed some caffeine!” Dan took a huge gulp of coffee and started to explain
what had happened.
“Apparently four people came to
this camping sight five days ago. All four of the campers were supposed to be
at work today and the two days before. A couple of their bosses called them
yesterday, but of course no answers. Today they called our station to see if we
could make sure they’re fine, but I don’t think they are.”
“What are the names of the missing
persons and what makes you think they’re not okay?” questioned Jules.
“Their names are Joe Danes, Will
Peters, and two sisters, Mariah and Kayla Barns. A Mrs. Katers saw them start
to hike a closed trail two days ago. This trail is not closed for construction,
but it’s closed because three people died on this trail!” Dan answered.
Jules now remembered the case on
those three missing persons. The trail was right by a cliff and they had fallen
off.
