Driving my MINI onto the parking lot of KCRW I saw my boss driving off it and smiling and waving. I waved back and parked the car on my usual parking spot. I walked into the studio, greeting the idiot that was my technician and sat down on my chair as it was almost time for my LIVE broadcast on KCRW. Usually they would play a few minutes in the hour before the actual live broadcast. “So, Phil, was anyone here for me today?” hoping he would say “Yes, a Lara Perkins was here searching for you.”he just said “No. no one was here for you.” My mood changed. So she did not feel the same way I did. Was too good to be true. But that was just me,driving away the people I love. Suddenly my I saw something on the ground. A wallet. I picked it up and looked into it finding someone´s driving license. It was Lara´s! “Phil you fucking asshole you told me no one was here! So how this end up here?” Phil just smiked. I just hated him. “Well, a girl was here but she left.” “Play the pre-recorded, I have to leave. And no word to Ruth.” I ran out onto the parking lot and dialed Lara´s cell phone number. It ran and I could hear it ring. Her cell phone lay in the bush on the parking lot. I picked it up and looked around. Something was terribly wrong here. First I find her wallet in the studio, and now I find her cell phone in the bushes. There must be a connection. It hit me, the connection was Ruth. But why would Ruth do anything to her? I called the police, they arrived pretty soon. “Ma´am? Are you Ms. Pieszecki? The one who called us? “ “Yes” “I am sorry to say but there is nothing we can do for you in this case. Wait 24 hours and then report us if she returned, then we can search for her. For now we can´t do anything.” With that said he simply left me. “25 hours, she could be dead by then. What will Ruth do to he? Where is she?” I knew I had to do something. I called Bette, Tina, Shane, Jenny, Max, Carmen even Howie came and helped us search for Lara. “Dana would have wanted us to find her. I knew she loved her very much.” he said. He was right. But this was not about Dana. It was about Lara. We searched our way through West Hollywood by the end of the day, but could not find her. “Where could she be? Is she even still in LA, Alice?” Bette asked me. “I have no idea where to find her. She must be somewhere in the city. Ruth hates woods and outside in general. Maybe she is in the outer parts of the city. Why she did that? Why she kidnapped Lara?” “Because you love her.” Kit whispered to me. “What? Kit..no..” “I talked to Lara. I know everything about you two. I won´t tell anyone about you two. I just know you love each other and yes you are scared. But please promise me you tell her you love Lara too when we find her, Alice?” I looked at shock at her “Anything I would do when we find her.” We continued our search for Lara.

A few miles from where Alice and the gang was Lara awoke. She was tied up on a bed. Ruth just laughed when Lara tried to free herself. “Don´t worry darling. She´ll never find you here. And if she does I have a plan.”
