Delving into the file, I carefully examined the information. It caught my attention that Amber, the girl at the center of the case, didn't quite get along with her babysitter and rarely had friends over. Apart from these details, her life seemed pretty ordinary.

To make sense of it all, I decided to create a list of people to interview, aiming to clear up uncertainties and gather more insights. Slowly but surely, the list took shape, ensuring I didn't miss any potential clues.

1. Hannah Smith:Amber's mom
2. James Smith:Amber's dad
3. Olive Geryson:The babysitter
4. Lana Gregory:Amber's school teacher

These people seemed like key players in understanding Amber's situation. With determination, I set out to conduct interviews, armed with questions designed to uncover the truth. Each name on the list represented a potential piece of the puzzle, and I was committed to doing my best to bring justice to Amber's case.

Eager to unravel the mystery, I chose to start my investigation by interviewing Amber's parents. They seemed like key figures who could shed light on her introverted nature and perhaps help clear some of my doubts. It was around 1 pm when I decided to make the call.

[ON CALL]

Stella: Hello, is this Hannah Smith?

Hannah: Yes, who's calling?

Stella: It's Stella Hawkins. I've been assigned to work on your daughter's missing case.

Hannah: Oh, okay. How can I assist you?

Stella: Would it be convenient if I came over and asked you a few questions this evening?

Hannah: Certainly. What time suits you?

Stella: How about around 5 pm? Does that work for you?

Hannah: Yes, that's fine. You can come then.

Stella: Thank you so much for your time, Mrs. Smith.

Feeling a small victory after the call, I decided to jot down a list of questions I wanted to ask. As the clock neared 4 pm, I left a bit early to ensure I'd be on time for the interview. Sitting in the car, I started the engine, contemplating that this was the beginning of my first case. The question lingered – would I be able to solve it?
