Where's Rachel?

The couple Polly and Duncan were in the car about to leave after a mishap and Duncan wanted to take Polly to a location that involved the sunset but it would be about five hours for that to happen.

“Do you think that a flight back to Los Angeles would be good?” asked Polly. “Maybe the flight will be those hours exactly or better and then we could go to Angeles Crest.”

“That sounds like a good idea,” replied Rachel. “But first, we had to get our stuff back from the hotel.”

“Ok, but please let’s hurry!”

Rachel drove to the hotel and everyone got their belongings. Then they headed to the airport to return home. Polly once again bought the tickets for the flight and it didn’t take long for the plane to arrive. They boarded and surprisingly, there were no fans on the plane. Polly even asked the people on the plane if there were any fans onboard. Everyone nodded no. Poll thought that it was strange that there were a lot of fans on the trip to Attaway, but heading back to LA, there were no fans. But she didn’t let that bother her.

 When the plane reached the area, it was still the afternoon due to going coast to coast and the time was three hours behind. Hannah met them at the parking lot and she helped with the cats and the belongings. She saw Polly’s new dress and complimented it.

“You rock that dress,” she said.

“I love it too,” Polly replied. “My awesome boyfriend gave it to me.”

The group then went in Hannah’s car and they left the airport.

 Hannah dropped everyone off at Polly’s house where Jamison was waiting. She saw Polly and gave her a long hug.

“I missed you so much,” she said.

“Same here,” Polly replied. “We got some more addition to the family!”

She showed the kittens, and Jami couldn’t speak. All she did was pet them and smile.

“So, I and Duncan will be gone again in the next three hours for our date,” Polly said. “We’ll be kissing at sunset at one of the attractions, and I’ll post it on my IG. I can’t wait to do this!”

“That’s ok,” Jamison replied. “I can’t wait to see them kiss!”

“You will because you’ll come with us,” Polly exclaimed. “My brothers and Hannah’s boyfriend will also be there because they are doing the same thing.” She then turned to Rachael. “Do you not feel left out because I and Hannah have lovers, and you are still single.”

“I actually had met someone on Instagram and he said that he’s from Mexico,” Rachel replied.

Jamison was worried. “Um, Rachel, that’s not a good idea. You're probably getting catfished. Did you know who he looks like? FaceTime?”

“No, he said that his camera was broken,” Rachel replied. “He said that he would meet me in person at Starbucks.”

“Don’t go!” Jamison shouted. “I don’t want you to get hurt. Never trust people on the internet unless you know them already in person.”

“It’s ok,” Rachel said. “I’ll be fine, don’t worry.”

“Rachel, she’s right,” Hannah added. “I’ve been there and I almost got fooled. But I stopped myself before I got hurt. So please, make the right decision and don’t react to the person.”

“I’ll think about it,” Rachel said.

“I hope you say no or at least block him,” Polly said. “I agree with everyone about this issue. There are weirdos out there and you should really be careful. Some people pretend that they are teens but in reality behind that screen are way older than you and try to hurt the person.”

“I’ll still think about it,” Rachel replied without giving eye contact.

“Well, it's almost time for us to go,” Polly said. “Please be careful and make the—”

“--right choice I’m doing that.” Rachel interrupted, annoyed.

 When Polly, Duncan, Hannah, and Clyde reached the location for the double date, they still had to wait a few hours for the sunset to occur. So they chatted for a while.

“So are y’all ready for the sunset to come so we can take our photos?” Hannah asked.

“Yes,” everyone shouted.

“I can’t believe that it's been over a month since y’all two have dated,” Polly said to Hannah and Clyde. “How’s it going with y’all?”

“It’s going great,” said Clyde. “I already know what to get for our 3rd month anniversary!”

The group then talked more and ate some food from a restaurant. Clyde stayed with the group for supervision while Hannah got the food. They had plenty of burgers and soda, and Polly and her boyfriend had had a bigger order because they didn’t like the plane food and they hadn’t eaten ever since the day before and they were starving. Hannah joked about this.

“Man, have y’all been fasting because y’all had eaten the food so fast and didn’t stop.”

“I know, we are,” Polly replied.

Then it was time for the picture taking. The way they did it since Rachel wasn’t there to be a photographer for them was Hannah would take the photo for Puncan and Polly would take the photo of Cannah. They each took five photos for their feeds and also had a video of the kiss.

“Everyone looks so cute!” Polly reacted while reviewing the photos. “I hope these relationships last until marriage!”

“Aww thanks,” her friends replied.

“So where do y’all want to go now?”

“Back home to watch some of my sister’s content because I haven’t done so in a while!” Polly replied. “I’ve missed like a few weeks worth of content!”

So the group leaves the spot and heads to Polly’s residence.

“So what’s new today?” Hannah asked in their room.

But before Polly could respond, Jamison came out and was worried. “Guys, I tried to call Rachel to see if she is ok, but she didn’t respond,” she said frantically. “I think she’s in trouble!”

Polly thought the worst. “She might have been kidnapped! Let’s go to Starbucks NOW! Everyone besides Hannah stays here!”

She also called her brothers to come too, they were devastated when they heard the news.

Hannah drove the car like a rocket to Hollywood Boulevard without getting a ticket. When they reached Starbucks, the group ran like they were in a marathon. When they entered they gasped.

—To be Continued—----

**Polly’s squad was at Starbucks because that's where Rachel and her ‘lover’ were going to meet, and they couldn't believe her eyes. Her phone and her purse were left behind.**

**“No, this can’t be happening!” Polly cried. “I told her not to do this in the first place.”**

**“Don’t panic!” Harry said. “We will find her. I have a friend that is good at solving investigations like this.”**

**“How can we panic and she’s probably with someone very dangerous!” Polly raged.**

**“Trust me, Polly, I’ve dealt with people like this, and I never fail to win.”**

**Then they saw the manager of the store and they asked him for any clues. He said that he saw a woman with a blue jacket sneaking close to her and then she pulled her out of her seat and got on a red pick-up truck and drove off. With that bit of information alone, the case was already almost cracked. All they needed to do is to find the vehicle and the kidnapper and Rachel would be free.**

**They were in shock that they saw the same woman as in the description that the manager had described him as. They ran to comfort the woman, but he ran away and drove off.**

**“After him!” Polly shouted bravely.**

**“I’ve already called a few friends to help catch this woman too so, we have our version of the squad.”**

**“Should I ask any of my sister’s group to help out?” Polly asked.**

**“Polly, you don’t have to involve them in everything you know. I know you miss Piper, but saving Rachel is the higher priority right now. As I said, I called a few friends to help out with catching this crook.”**

**Soon enough, more people were nearby chasing after the truck. Harry told them what to do once they gained on her. When they did, they hit the truck and it fell off its side at Santa Monica Boulevard. Everyone was relieved that no one was hurt in the chase, but Polly ran to the crook along with the samaritans.**

**“Show yourself!” Polly raged.**

**When she did, Polly was in shock.**

**“Rosa? Why would you steal my sister?”**

**“Because I wanted to use her to—”**

**“Let me guess, so you treat her the same way you did at the studio, I don’t think that’s going to happen,” Hannah said crossing her arms. “You're not getting away with this!”**

**“Hey Hannah, your coming too, now let’s go!”**

**“Where are you going and how are you going to get there?” Roxy asked. “You're cornered!”**

**“Sure is, said a voice in the distance. It was an officer.**

**“So, you haven’t learned your lesson at all didn’t you?” he asked sternly. “We had reports of a stolen pick-up truck recently and that’s the same one from the description. You under arrest, and I know the CEO of the dance studio that you used to teach, you were trying to steal Rachel and Hannah weren't you?”**

**Rosa was silent.**

**“Sorry y’all had to deal with this lady,” the officer spoke to the sisters. “We’ll make sure that she won’t even enter y’all’s property or near y’all in general.”**

**“Bye Felica.” Rachel smiled.**

**“Oh my gosh, I’m so glad we’ve saved you!” Polly said hugging her. “But please, don’t ever do that again. The world is crazy and we have plenty of sickos on the internet. So please don’t ever be friends with anyone unless you meet them in person, alright.”**

**“I understand now,” Rachel said. “That experience was very scary.”**

**“I got an idea for your next video Polly,” Harry said. “You should spread awareness about an experience like this. Tell them not to trust strangers online and not to respond to them if they start saying stuff like their camera’s broken or they come up with a fake account because they would never know what’s behind the screen.”**

**Polly agreed. “I’ll do that now.”**

**When the video was published, it had gotten over five million views and over 50 thousand upvotes on all social media. The video was also number two on trending which make Polly very happy. Afterward, the group went back to Polly’s house to let Jami know that Rachel was ok. She scolded her for doing what she did but Rachel apologized for not listening to her and gave her a big hug. Rachel was then very cautious about what she did on social media from that day forward.**
