Joanna Holmes was calmly reading her TIME magazine when a sudden noise startled her. It was a big bang, sort of like a slamming of a door, but sort of worse.
"MOM!" Shirley yelled, storming inside the house.
"In here darling!" Joanna Holmes shouted across the noise of the lawn mower.
Shirley appeared and smiled, "Mom, ummm, can I borrow that new software that you got from that women magazine, the one you can alter your looks with?"
"Sure, my daughter is finally growing up! Trying to find the right hairstyle for yourself?" Joanna said fondly. Shirley blushed, and said, " Yeah, where is it?"
"In my room." Joanna said with a smile.
Shirley sat down at her computer and impatiently tapped her fingers while the computer turned on. Shirley wondered what was becoming of the relationship between her and Bo. They were growing up and changing, whether or not she liked it. Her relationship with Matt, his with Catherine, what else? The starting sound of the computer broke her thoughts, and she stuck the software into the computer. Shirley quickly scanned the picture of Lacey Brayer into the computer and added Ashleigh's features, that brown hair, blue eyes, and the other stuff. Shirley gasped, the end product was, perfect. I've got to call Bo, she thought. She picked up her phone and dialed his number.
"Hello?" Bo's slightly deep voice answered the phone.
"Bo? Okay, can you come over right now?" Shirley said quickly.
"Uh, sure? Listen Shirley, I was wondering if you found, some clue?" Bo asked nervously.
"Yep" Shirley said with a quick laugh.
"But......" Bo stammered. Shirley hung up the phone, and quickly set up the computer.
About 15 minutes later Gram heard a loud knock on the door. "Oh Bo! Shirley is in her room, and why! Don't you look nice."
"Uh, thanks." Bo blushed and went up to Shirley's homey room.
"So what's the clue?" Bo asked, entering her room. Shirley raised her eyebrow and looked at Bo. "So what's with the look?" Shirley asked. Bo blushed, Shirley walked over to the computer and showed her "Ashleigh Cooper". "Wow, she looks better then ever, where did you get that pic?" Bo said, whistling.
"I photo edited it, from this pic." Shirley said clicking another button to show the picture of Lacey Brayer. Bo looked shocked. "Uh, NO WAY. She can't be a phony."
"I never said that, but I just called Matt, apparantly, Lacey Brayer is the daughter of famous jockey Ian Brayer . And she got into deep trouble a few months ago, she's in a gang, she tried to get out, and got kidnapped more then a couple of times. My guess is, that the gang she was in, was involved in some complex stuff." Shirley said. Bo turned white, and said, "Then we better find her, quick."
"Yeah, something is telling me to go to her dorm room."
