I awoke with a warm feeling surrounding me. Feeling a weight on my chest I look down and see Spencer with her head on my chest. Her arm is lazily draped over my waist with my arm around her back, our legs tangled together. She snuggles closer into me nuzzling my neck. I can’t help the smile that creeps onto my face as she slowly stirs awake.

"Morning." I softly whisper into her ear. Her eyes flutter open as she smiles up at me.

"Hey." She lifts her head and notices the compromising position we’re in. A shy blush spreads across her face as she untangles our limbs and sits up. "Sorry."

"It’s okay. Want some breakfast?" Spencer’s stomach grumbles and her blush deepens. "Come on. I don’t mean to brag but, I make the best pancakes."

"I love pancakes." I jump off the bed and help her up. We head down stairs and notice Skyler already awake talking to my mom.

"Well hello girls. How was your night?" My mother asks with a smirk.

"It was good." Skyler winks at me but I ignore it. "I’m making banana pancakes. You staying for breakfast?" I direct the question to my mom.

"Yes actually." I smile. "But I have something to tell you after." Her tone changes serious and I frown knowing its bad.

"Okay. Spence you wanna help me?" She follows me to the kitchen as Skyler and my mom continue their conversation.

After breakfast I dropped Skyler and Spencer off with promise of plans for later. I walk into the house and notice mom sitting on the couch. Definitely bad news.

"Ash you should sit down."

"I’m good standing."

"It would be more comfortable if you sat." She reasons.

"Mom, could you just please tell me what happened?"

"How do you know something happened?" I gave her the ‘don’t play dumb’ face. "Fine. Are you sure you don’t want to sit?"

"Mom." I warn. She takes a deep breath.

"We lost her." I look at her dumbfounded.

"You lost her?"

"We lost her track in Utah. She is very good at staying under the radar." My mouth drops open.

"How the fuck do you lose somebody mom!" My body starts to quake with fear.
