Chapter Twelve
"Hi. I assume you're Madeline O'Neil?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm Amy's brother Brett. I wanted to give you the tickets and pass personally so they wouldn't get lost or anything."
"These are the tickets and the pass?!"
"Yeah. Here." I took them wide eyed and in amazement.
"Wow. Thanks. Did Sam get hers?"
"Not yet. I'm on my way over right now."
"Okay, well, thanks a ton for these. I really 'preciate this."
"Sure. Glad I could make you happy. Bye."
"Bye." he turned to leave and Trey stepped in the door.
"What was that? Why is he here?"
"He's Amy's brother. He just came over to drop off some stuff." I added vaguely.
"I'll go bring in my stuff."
"You know where the guest room is. I have to call Sam." I ran upstairs and speed-dialed her number. "Hi Sam. Did you get your ticket and pass yet?"
"Yes! I'm soooo happy! Oh my God, I can't wait till Tuesday! I'm so excited!"
"I know. Hold on for a sec. My other line is beeping."
"Kay." I clicked over to the other line.
"Hello?"
"Maddy? Have you seen my brother anywhere? I know he went over to your house, then went to Sam's house, but he hasn't come home and he won't answer his car phone."
"Oh no. Sam's on the other line. Hold on and I'll tell her."
"Thanks." I clicked back to Sam.
"Sam, you there?"
"Yeah."
"Listen. Amy's on the other line and she says that Brett hasn't come home yet, and won't answer his car phone."
"Did he have some extra errands or something? Maybe they should wait an hour or so before they start calling the police. Could be he just had another stop to make that they didn't know about."
"I'll click over to Amy. Hold on." I clicked back to Amy. "Sam says she hasn't seen Brett since he left her house. She also said that you should wait an hour or so before you start reporting him missing. Maybe he had to suddenly stop somewhere. Just wait a while and something will come up. And when it does, call me or Sam. Kay?"
"Kay."
"And don't worry. For all we know, he could have stopped at the ice cream store and ran into friends and stayed to talk a bit. Don't worry."
"Thanks Maddy."
"Sure. Relax."
"Bye."
"Bye." I clicked back over to Sam. "Hi Sam. Amy's still really worried about her brother. I told her something will turn up. And I told her that when it does, she should call us."
"Good thinking Maddy."
"Yeah. You know what else?"
"What?"
"Trey has to spend the next couple of nights at my house."
"Why?"
"His cousins are over. That's all i know right now. He's bringing his stuff to the guest room."
"You're so lucky. I wish Nathan and I were at that same stage."
