"Where the hell is Slade?" Officer Kurt Maybourn asked, passing by the desk belonging to Officer Cal Murphy. "Didn't you call her? With the chief gone, we need all hands on deck. Until we sort out this whole damn mess, no one should be taking time off, whether they deserve it or not."
"Believe me, I know. But I don't know where she is. I called her, but something must have happened. You know her ... she's one of the most dedicated cops around. She'll be here. I'm sure she's just late."
"She better be," Maybourn said.
Not knowing where else to go, Sarah decided to head to the high school. The cheerleaders had their early morning practice scheduled for today. Maybe Zoe and the others could shed some light on what was happening to her. Part of her thought that maybe they wouldn't have a clue, but she had to start somewhere.
And with that, she headed out to what she recalled was her car, and then drove to the school.
