“Kyle, is that turkey club with extra mayo, extra bacon ready or what?” Sarah Rose called from the counter.

“Yeah, bringing it up now.” Kyle called back, somewhat annoyed with his co-worker.

The day at Brewed Awakenings had been going pretty well, until Sarah had decided to extend her break by twenty minutes, causing a backlog of customers at one of the busiest parts of the day. Kyle had done what he could to keep up with the ever growing line of customers, however, he was finally overcome by the crowd. Normally, it wouldn’t have been a problem, however, on this day, Grace had called in sick, and being by himself for such an extended period of time, he just was no longer able to keep up.

Kyle brought the sandwich in question to the front counter and immediately went back to begin one of the many coffee orders that he still has to complete. 

“When you finish taking those orders, I could use a hand.” Kyle called up to Sarah, who nodded back noncommittally. 

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity Sarah joined him in the back and together they finished the orders, getting them to their anxious customers as quickly as possible. Though he was annoyed with her for causing the backup at the counter, she had a way about her that prevented him from staying angry with her for very long. 

She was a year or so younger than him and had a carefree air about her that made working with her entertaining, at the very least. However, she did have the tendency to occasionally shirk her responsibilities, leaving whoever she was working with to face the wrath of off put customers on their own. This tended to cause her to incur the wrath of her coworkers, at least until she came back and flashed her warm smile, and all was forgiven…at least most of the time. 

Finally, with the customers taken care of and business beginning to slow, Kyle went into the drawer beneath the cash register and took out the remote control for the TV, which was surprisingly left off when Sarah opened the café in the morning. All of the employees enjoyed leaving the TV on as it generally kept the customers quiet and helped the day go by slightly faster. As the screen came to life, the local noon news broadcast filled the café, which was normal for this time of the day. The owner of Brewed Awakenings, a 30 something Korean woman named Grace liked to have the news on for the customers to keep up to date on the daily goings on in Lost Haven. 

“….went missing from her home late last night. The 17 year old…” Kyle caught the news anchor saying as the TV came to life.

“Oh geez…another one.” Sarah said as she heard the report.

“What do you mean?” Kyle asked.
“I think she’s like, the fourth or fifth one this month.” Sarah explained. 

“Fourth or fifth?” Kyle said, unable to believe what he was hearing.

“Yeah. From what I understand they’re all different ages and don’t really have anything in common, except that they go missing from their bedrooms late at night.” She explained, before adding, “Pretty weird, right?”

“Yeah, pretty weird.” Kyle said, intentionally sounding disinterested in the events. However, he knew that when he was done with his shift at the café he was going to have Harry look into the disappearances. He didn’t know who was taking these kids, or why, but he knew that he was going to put a stop to it.
