Missing Persons Case #45389-24
Chief,
I hate to bother you while you’re golfing but I just had a group of rowdy old men at the front desk going on about a missing pilot. A guy by the name of Mac Gamble. Apparently, they saw a video with some rapper (the one who has that irritating commercial about Vialis) while watchingcricket earlier today. He was making a plea to the public about a woman named Paige Chadwick (Missing Persons Case #45387-24), and Mr. Gamble’s grandpa realized his grandson is likely the pilot who they’re referring to. I guess they stopped by his house and the dock where he leaves his boat, and there is no sign of him anywhere. That’s when grandpa realized he hasn’t heard from him in over a week, which is unusual. Grandpa gave me the details on the airplane (attached below) as well as a photo of Mac Gamble.
Should I contact the Coast Guard to have them start searching for the plane?
Let me know ASAP,
Sandy

Sandy,
Just saw the video and am on my way back to the station. This has the makings of a real shitstorm and I need to get out in front of it. Have whoever did the intake on the original missing persons report in my office by the time Iget there, and tell them heads are going to roll over this one.

Texts to Paige from Vivian:

Hey girl, we finally got some action. I guess you’re with a man named Mac Gamble. I met his grandpa at the police station, which has set my mind at ease as far as the kidnapping idea goes. I feel certain that you’re with someone of solid character, which is something, I guess. When I see you, I’m going to hug you for at least an hour straight. No lie.
You won’t believe the response to Li’l Rhythm’s video. The police, Coast Guard, and hundreds of private citizens with boats, planes, and helicopters are out looking for you. It looked like a freaking air show this morning when everyone was taking off. Even the super kind people who own the resort I’m staying at have sent out their fastest boat, the Rogue Fun.
The word is getting out there. That actor you worked with on the Billabong Campaign, Hudson Finch, made the best Instagram Reel about you and how helpful you were.
Sean Freaking Penn just arrived with his speed boat. I wish you were here so we could squeal about it together. Miss you so much. Please be okay.
Text Conversation Between Tiffany and Vivian
Tiffany
Ethan and I will be arriving later today. I just wanted to say thank you for what you’ve done to find Paige, and I’m sorry I ever doubted her. Thank God you had faith in her. Any news since breakfast?
Vivian
Nothing since this morning, but it’s only a matter of time with the number of people searching. See you soon. Your parents and I have been meeting for suppers by the pool every evening so hopefully you guys will be up for joining us. Just sitting in our rooms all day is crazy-making.
Tiffany
I can’t believe any of this is happening. If we don’t get her back, I’m never going to forgive myself for insisting on a stupid destination wedding.
Vivian
This isn’t your fault. Sometimes bad things happen for no reason at all. But let’s not give up hope, okay? I believe with everything in me that we’re going to get her back.
