CHAPTER 79

(Alexa sat at her desk working on her computer when suddenly her phone buzzed. She picked it up to see a new message from Cody, one of her good friends. She felt her heart drop as she saw that Cody had sent her a picture of Anthony with a red cross over his face. Anthony was their friend from high school, and they had remained close even after all these years.

Alexa quickly replied back to Cody, "What happened? Is Anthony okay?". She anxiously waited for Cody's response, her mind racing with all the possibilities of what could have happened to Anthony.

Cody responded back, "I don't know, but we need to find out. Meet me at the park in an hour."

Alexa quickly gathered her things, grabbed her keys and headed out the door. She knew that something was wrong and was determined to find out what it was.

As she drove to the park her mind wouldn't stop racing. "What could have happened to Anthony? Was he hurt? Why would someone put a red cross over his face?" she thought to herself.
