Nine years ago on this day we swung back and fourth in
Washington park, telling each other about our first days of
kindergarten. I remember exactly what I told her. "I
was scared to get on the bus. I sat next to Tommy, he was
nice. We talked about school and family and our pets. Tommy
is in my class too. Our teacher is nice. We played fun
games. She told me I was really smart. At snack time I
talked to a girl Rosie. She was quiet but we talked for a
few minutes. Then on the ride home I sat with Tommy and his
sister Cassidy," I told her. The whole time I was
talking I was watching hawks soaring through the sky above
us, and the trees swaying in the breeze. I looked back at
her after she didn't acknowledge my story, but she
wasn't there. The rusty swing was empty, swinging back
and fourth. I looked around the vast park waiting for her
to jump out and say "boo!" My eyes started to
fill with tears, I ran to her house. No one answered when I
rang the doorbell. I cried myself to sleep on her front
porch. I woke up to red white and blue lights flashing in
her drive way. A tall man dressed in blue picked me up and
put me in his car. I was scared and confused, but he
brought me home. My mom explained to me that he was a
police man and he solved crime scenes. Then why was he
here? This was not a crime scene. Had something bad
happened while I was gone? Surely she had come home after
the park right?
That was the day Amanda Lynn Allen disappeared. She was my
best friend. She didn't come home after the park. In
fact, no one has seen her till this day. But I am going to
find her.
