Chapter 70

[Katniss, turn on your phone! Don't make me mad!]

[Do you have to make everyone uneasy before you're happy?]

Lucas fired off a bunch of texts, but got nothing back.

Katniss used to never pull stunts like this. What's she up to now?

Lucas glared at his phone, his eyes narrowing with each unanswered message.

Meanwhile, Juniper was talking to the cops. She was the one who called them and the last person to see Katniss.

Tears streaming down her face, Juniper said, "I split up with Katniss around noon. I went back to the dorm to rest, and she said she was heading to the library to study before her afternoon classes. I waited for her after school, but she never showed. Everyone else had left, and her classmates said she didn't show up for her classes."

She went on, "I've checked everywhere she usually goes, even the library, but none of her stuff was there. I can't reach her by phone either. Katniss wouldn't just disappear, right? Please, you have to find her." There had been a string of missing female college students on the news lately.

Juniper's mind was racing with all sorts of fears, worried something bad had happened to Katniss.

Katniss was so beautiful, it was possible someone had targeted her.

After the cops finished questioning her, Juniper walked over to Lucas, still sobbing, "Lucas, any news about Katniss?"

"Maybe she's just out having fun and hiding to avoid being chewd out. You should go home; you don't want your parents to worry." Lucas tried to comfort Juniper, not really taking Katniss's disappearance seriously. This wasn't the first time Katniss had pulled something like this.

Last time, when Clara got hurt, Katniss had a hand in it. Scared of taking the blame, she made the injury seem worse.

This time, it was just a ploy to get back to the Manners family. She was using this as an excuse.
