"Okay. They are sending a squad to patrol this area, and they sent out an AMBER alert," Josh breathed as he checked his phone in the back seat..
"You should call your parents, man," I said, trying to say it softly, considering the relationship they have.

"Fuck!" I screamed, my heart leaping out of my chest. Josh was out the door so fast I only saw a blur. He was there, catching her just as she dropped.

I pulled out my pocket knife and cut them off. Josh immediately took her hands in his and held her, kissing her to himself and to Laura over and over.
I raked my hands through my hair, looking up and down the road for any signs of someone else.
