“Eww, I think I need some light down here.” She stumbled into a chair in the center of the basement. “What th-- aaaahh, HELP! Stacy, call the police, call the police!”
     
    “Kim, I can’t hear you. What are you huffing and puffing about?” Stacy chuckled at Kim. “I’m coming.” Stacy quickly walked down the steps to investigate the matter.
    She quickly realized what Kim was screaming about once she made it down the stairs. “What the...?” Stacy passed out from the shock. Kim raced up the wooden stairs, screaming for help as she ran outside and onto the streets. She was out of breath and dialing 911.
    “Operator, I need the police and an ambulance. Mmm-my friend is ti-ied-d... to a ch-chair and not mov-ving,” Kim stammered through the phone call.
     
    At that moment, Detective Mulling emerged from out of nowhere to meet Kim on the street.
    “What’s the matter” inquired Mulling.
    “It‘s…Sharon. She’s being held downstairs” Kim replied, still panicking.
    He pulled out his gun and raced to the basement. He saw a passed out Stacy and a lifeless Sharon bound to a chair.
    “Kim! If you can hear me, get a knife!” Mulling shouted. “Wake up, wake up, you need to get up. Can you walk?” Mulling asked Stacy.
    Mulling saw the door flew open, and the paramedics arrived at record speed. The paramedics quickly carried Sharon up from the basement.
    “Oh my god! Stacy called out in disbelief. Kim stood in complete silence as their friend was carried away.
     
    “Hey, are you guys okay?” Mulling asked Kim and Stacy once they settled down and Sharon was tucked away in the ambulance.
    “No, I’m not; I just saw….” Kim couldn’t finish. “Wait. What are you doing here anyways? You appeared out of nowhere! You came before the 9-1-1- call.”
    “Huh….with all due respect, I was keeping an eye on you. I wanted to make sure I could clear you as a suspect.” Mulling replied. Kim was now clearly pissed at Mulling.
    “Oooh, I can’t believe you! If you ever follow me again, I swear, I’ll get your badge,” Kim boldly told the detective.
    To lighten the tense mood, Stacy interjected. “Well I don’t care why you are here, I am just glad you came, to our aid,” she smiled and showed gratitude.
     
    Sharon was the glue who held the girls together. The “three sexy musketeers” they used to call themselves. Tonight was a very close call for one of the musketeers.
     
    Mulling refocused the investigation on Sharon. “I know this is an emotional situation, but we need to focus on Sharon. So, from the top, why are you here and when was the last time you saw Sharon?” Mulling inquired. He pulled out his black ink pen and began to make notes.
    Kim was yet again answering questions, but this time she knew it was for Sharon’s sake; and that Mulling wanted to find out the truth.
    “Girls, one more thing; I don’t understand why he didn’t just kill her. What do you girls think?” Mulling asked.
    “They were probably going to come back and finish the job.” Stacy blurted out.
    “I think it’s time we head back to the hospital; we should have been there 20 minutes ago,” Kim said concerningly.
    “The details are still fresh, we needed to talk about them sooner rather than later,” Mulling explained to Kim. “Come with me; I’ll give you a ride to the hospital.” Kim was still uncomfortable with Mulling, but decided it was best to leave with him and Stacy.
     
    Other officers were dispatched to be with Sharon; for her protection. Additionally, an emergency abduction alert was sent to the entire town about the home invasion. The entire town would be well aware of the situation in the morning.

    Kim and Stacy searched high and low in the hospital for Sharon. Once they found her floor, they ran into different problems. The doctors were very hesitant to let them visit.
    “Ma’am, I’m afraid the patient is not allowed to have
