Cristian stood there in the doorway, looking back and forth for a moment as his mind thought about the quarters.<em>"One doorway into a small hallway. Thats a good choke point...a big window by the bed...only one way in and out of the bathroom..."</em>he thought as he walked toward the bed to set his backpack down.  He stopped there and looked back toward the door, again considering how defensible the room was and it lacked a lot but then he realized that he was thinking he was back in Afganistan where you had to worry about snipers, bombings, and people trying to get into your apartment. This wasnt the case here but then with Lionna having disappeared he couldnt convince himself that this town was as peaceful as it appeared to be.<br/><br/>For the moment he sat down on the bed and got his laptop ready, intending to send the first email of his investigation.<br/><br/><em>Hi sis, I just got to town and started looking. Some people have seen Lionna but no one seems to have seen her since the day she stopped posting her status. One woman, a Ms. Crane says she was last seen with a couple other guys from out of town. Lionna was getting into their car with her friend but I dont think shes right...or maybe I just dont believe her. Lionna's not the kind of girl to go off in private with strangers and I didnt find any signs of her being where Ms. Crane said she saw her but maybe the most telling part is I didnt see any pictures of cute guys in her photos. I question whether they really exist. Maybe Ms. Crane made a mistake but something in me wonders could she be lying to me? <br/><br/>The biggest problem is this towns lack of law enforcement, Ms. Crane said the sherrif from their neighboring town would be here in the morning but I just cant wait that long. Its been three days already and if the worst has happened every second counts. Im going to start looking at the barns and basements on the outskirts of town. I think its the best place to start till their sherrif arrives. I will find Lionna and bring her home I promise you all that. So I better get started with my searching. Do me a favor, and pray for her. Tell mom and dad I love them and that Im looking but dont worry them with the details. I'll send an update on my progress once a day, if you learn anything let me know. <br/><br/>I love you, <br/><br/>Cristian</em>
