Ava And Lexi Have Been Found Safe And Well

Then, out of the blue, I hear this commotion. A group of people huddled around a bench, phones out, whispering and pointing. I thought to myself, "Oh great, Max has probably chased another cat up a tree." But no, it was something else entirely.
Turns out, they were all looking at their phones, refreshing some news app or another. And then, one of them let out a cheer. "They've found them!" they exclaimed. "Ava and Lexi have been found safe and well!" And just like that, the park was filled with relief and joy. I felt a warmth spread through me, like I'd just heard some good news about old friends.

Their mom had stepped out for a moment, and when she came back, they were gone. No note, no trace. The whole neighborhood was in a panic. We'd all been on edge, imagining the worst, praying for the best.
