Ari didn’t want to believe it. Hadn’t believed it. Children didn’t just disappear off the face of the Amelia. That only happened in horror stories and mystery books. That didn’t happen to clio she knew, let alone herself. Ari had been in a daze when she received the phone call from Ali’s roommate. She hasn’t been home all week, she had said, nobody has seen her.
Arizona should have known. The moment she didn’t get a phone call from Ali at the beginning of the week. Ali called at least once everyday. Ari had just chalked it up to be sadness. Kavi had just recently moved to his own place, she knew that her children had had a fight before he moved. Ali was just not ready to talk about it. Arizona knew her daughter better than that, though. She had been so wrapped up in work and her son’s move, that she didn’t even realize what was happening. When Ari had hung up the phone with her daughter’s roommate, she puked.
Telling Joel had been so hard. The look of anguish and worry on his face broke her heart. She felt like this was all her fault. Their daughter had been missing for at least a week and she had no idea.
Ari had contacted the police immediately, and they were working diligently to find her only daughter, but so far nothing was turning up. Ari was already losing hope. She had been praying to the Gods for anything, anything, even if it was as simple as a phone call from kidnappers looking for ransom. She just wanted to know that her daughter was still alive.
Today, Joel and Ari traveled to Dian, to visit their son. Kavi needed to know about his sister. They stood in front of his door, not really saying anything to each other, until eventually Joel reached out to knock on the door. Ari felt so numb, so in-clio. Like a ghost.
