Sidney admired the beautiful view even while the tears silently rolled down her cheeks. It was two years ago today that her daughter and husband had disappeared. The investigators had searched for months but with no clues or leads. They had finally been forced to push it aside when a bigger case came up. Sidney had continued on her own but with no luck. Ginny and Ed had simply vanished off the face of the earth.
Everyone told her she had to move on but she just couldn't. She had lost weight, had been unable to maintain her job and was fired, had run through all her savings and eventually was forced to move back in with her parents. She had gone to a counselor, a psychologist and even a psychiatrist but they all felt she needed strong medication. She refused.
She had eventually stopped talking about that night, the last night she'd seen them. No one believed her. The police felt Ed had kidnapped Ginny but they couldn't explain why. Sidney knew that Ed would never do such a thing. But as time passed, even Ed's family had begun to believe that it might be true. Her parents had bought her a ticket to this island and forced her to take a vacation in the hopes she would find a way to put it all to rest.
The island was lovely and the hotel room was amazing, but Sidney couldn't help feeling guilty for taking time off from searching. Oh, Ginny. Where could you be? And Ed, I hope you are with her, protecting her. Where are you both?
