Elliotblinked at his friend. "Do you even know what that means?"

"Yeah,Be On the Lookout. You'd know tooif you were a true crime expert like me.Focus. We have to find your sister and our drummer."

"I think only law enforcement can issue a BOLO," Hayden said.

"Ah,okay." Santino shrugged. "I've just always wanted to say that."

Elliot's hands went to his hair. "Can you please be serious for once? My sister is missing."

I raised a hand. "Um,have you tried calling her?"

Their heads turned toward me, and Elliot nodded. "She's not answering."

"Okay, then what about Ryker?"

"Straight to voicemail," Felix said, put away his phoneand turned to Elliot. "Why are you so worried? Sheprobably stepped out to get some air."

"Or she might be somewhere she can't hear her phone," I added.

Elliot released a heavy exhale. "Ever since the stalker incident,I worry about her.Constantly. London knows this, which is why we always text our location and answer each other's calls." His voice quieted as he said, "This isn't like her."

"Don't worry," I said. "I'm sure she's okay."

But worry ate at me too.

Izzy walked back inside then. She'd gone out to take a call. Taking in the grave mood, she said, "What's going on?"

"London and Ryker are missing," Hayden said.

"No, they're not."

Elliot stepped forward. "What do you mean?"

"About 30 minutes ago, I saw London walk into the party at the building across the street," she said."Ryker was behind her, but I don't think she noticed. She seemed upset."

Santino grinned. "Who's up for aparty?"

As the others voiced their agreement, we headed to the doors.

It was time to go find London.

And as Essie's words played on a loop in my mind—Don't let fear put you in a cage—I hoped to find my courage and tell Felix mytruth. The whole truth.

Even if it was scary.

CHAPTER 21

The "party" it turned out was actually a family reunion—which was ironic since we were currently searching for the two missing members of our tour family.

The ballroom was packed.

Strobe lighting made it hard to see faces. A dance floor took up the center of the space with circulartables placed near the edges.Food and drinks were also being served somewhere because several guests carried cups and plates of something that smelled amazing.

The ornate banner hanging over the entrance's threshold said 17thSingh Family Reunion.

I chewed on my lip.

"That's a lot of people," I said quietly.
