Roger only briefly paused to wonder how Rachel would have been able to get hold of the surveillance footage in such a short span of time.

But right now he didn’t have time to think on it too deeply. Riley was missing, and they had to find her. With a nod he said, “You go left, I’ll go right. Let’s keep each other updated. Call me if anything happens.”
Rachel nodded in agreement, then the two of them set off on their different paths.
She turned left at a fork in the road and carried on walking along it for some time. It led out to the road outside the square, but she didn’t find Riley.
A light sheen of nervous sweat had broken out all over her body and was shining on her forehead. She stopped on the curb and looked up at the red light. She pursed her lips and felt the faint beginnings of unease rising in her chest.
Was it possible that Riley had crossed the road?

The longer she thought about the possibility, the more nervous she became. The red light flashed mockingly at her as the count down on the monitor began. She wiped the clammy sweat off her hands and pulled her phone out her pocket. The screen displayed no new calls or messages. Roger hadn’t called. She put her phone away, murmuring to herself, “Stop scaring yourself now. Riley is fine. Everything will be alright.”
As she glanced across the road, she saw a little girl dressed in the same clothes as Riley had been wearing. She was standing with her back to Rachel, so it was impossible to see her face and know for sure whether it was her or not. But the similar clothes were enough for Rachel.
“Riley!” Rachel shouted.
But her attempt was futile. The noise of the traffic drowned out her voice and the little girl didn’t hear her. Worst of all, Rachel began to lose sight of her as she walked away.

Rachel was just about to step into the road to chase her when her phone rang. The sound broke the anxious haze that had been clouding her mind.
She pulled out her phone and glanced at the caller ID; it was Roger.
She immediately answered it.
“Roger, I think I’ve found-“
“Rachel, I found Riley. Where are you? I’ll meet you at your location,” Roger interrupted her. In the background she could hear people laughing and talking, as well as the distinct sound of Riley’s voice calling her “auntie”.
Rachel raised her head and looked back towards the little girl on the other side of the road.
A man came over and scooped her into his arms. Now she could finally see the girl’s face.
She was not Riley.
Rachel audibly sighed in relief.
“That’s great news. I’m standing on the side of the road west of the square,” she said.
As she spoke, the traffic lights turned green and the cars came speeding past her. The sound of rubber on the road, and brakes and hooters drowned out the sound of her voice. Roger hardly heard a word she said.
Roger tried his best to understand, but with the noise of the traffic he just didn’t catch enough of her sentence to comprehend her meaning. He was already walking down the left path Rachel had taken, and he had Riley held safely in his arms.
“What did you say?” Roger said loudly.
“I couldn’t hear anything!”
Rachel stuck her finger in her opposite ear so she could hear him better. She raised her voice as she spoke this time, “I’m standing-“
