Chapter 5

Sylvia and Antonio had been searching for their daughter for the past two months. They had been to the local and state police department in hopes of some information, but nothing. After the first two visits, the police began to ignore them. They basically showed no interest and said Carina was an adult and if she decided to go away for some time, she was well within her rights, but they knew their daughter. She would not go two months without a text to her parents.

They were starting to think their daughter was dead.

Antonio Rodriguez knew it was bad news when his little girl decided to move out of the family house. His wife, Sylvia, didn't get a wink of sleep anymore. All she did was cry at night for her daughter to return.

Sylvia sat on the couch in the living room blowing her nose as she was wrapped herself in a blanket to keep her warm. Her throat was dry from all the crying she had done. Antonio walked in with a hot bowl of soup for his wife. He didn't like to see her this way.
