It was a cool summer day and 16 year old Ashley Stancley (me) was sitting on her porch in Seatle, Washington reading a mystery book her mom had writen befor she went missing. Ashley was 8 when her mom went missing and her dad was rarley home, he was an explorer. But that day he happend to be taking a break. Ashley was reading peacfully when she herd the sound of her father, Drew Stancley's voice:  Come inside Ashley, I need to talk to you. he said. She put her bookmark in place and stood up. As she walked through the door her father asked, Do you remember our old neighbor Carson Ruther?" "Yes." I replied. Well, he has been reported missing. He went on a cruise in New Orleans, Louisiana. The boat sank and everyone except for him got out safely. The police there are very puzzled. They said that everything that belongs to him disappeared too." "That's odd, do you think someone kidnapped him?" I said. "Yes, and his things were very valuble."**
