Image MissingWhen you show up at your best friend’s house to walk to school in the morning, the last thing you expect to hear is, Jeremy is missing.
Especially if your best friend is named Jeremy.
And especially if he texted you the night before, promising to tell you about monsters.
‘Missing’?
I asked Mrs. Hyken, as we stood in the doorway. Like, missing missing?
She blew her bangs off her forehead and shifted Jeremy’s baby sister on her hip. What other kind of missing is there, Nate?
But . . .
I knew what she meant. I just couldn’t believe it.
Have you called the cops?
I asked.
Something went crash in the kitchen. It sounded messy.
Jason!

What were we . . . ?
she said, turning back.
The cops?
I asked again.

Where?
