Hallie paced around the living room, hoping for somebody from the police office to tell her that they had found Clara. She had hardly slept since the day Clara went missing, and she hadn't eaten too much, either. Her ears strained for the knock on the door that could bring good or bad news.

*Ned hadn't had the opportunity to play with Clara for a while, with all the fussing his parents were making over him and his leg. But that day, he'd been deemed well enough to visit. The cast had been off for a week, and he was eager to go so something. He knocked on the door, ready to show his best manners.*

Hallie shot over to the door and opened it, disappointed to see a little boy standing there. "Hello. Who are you?" she asked kindly, trying not to show her distress.

*He smiled politely.*
"My name's Ned," *he said.* "I'm Clara's friend. Is she here?"

Hallie bit the inside of her lip, not wanting to have a break down in front of this little boy. Unfortunately, it didn't work very well. She supported herself in the doorway and began to sob.

*Ned's eyes widened in surprise. That was definately not the usual response when he asked if someone could play. He stood there awkwardly for a moment, with no idea what to do.*
"Are... are you alright, ma'am?"

Hallie collected herself and smiled apologetically at Ned. "Clara... hasn't been seen for a few days, now," she explained.

*He frowned.*
"You mean she's gone missing?"
*Endless possibilites from Clara running away to her being kidnapped by gypsies flooded his imagination... He was a prince, right? And what did princes to better than rescuing people?*

Hallie nodded. "She went to work in a woman's garden and never came back. They searched her house and found no evidence."

*Ned frowned in thought. A woman's garden? Hadn't she said something about... about a witch?! He knew what he had to do- what any self respecting prince would do. He'd rescue her, of course.*
"I can help!"

((Awww!))
Hallie smiled sadly and shook her head. "Honey, the police are looking everywhere for her. I don't think you should risk yourself like that."

*He shook his head.*
"Don't worry about me," *he said. He'd save her from the witch, and she'd know just how brave he was. He briefly wondered why it mattered so much, but he shook it off. He'd do the same for any friend. Right?*

Sighing, Hallie said, "Okay. Well, good luck." She figured it wouldn't hurt anything—after all, he was only a little boy. He wouldn't find her kidnapper or anything.

*He knew she didn't believe him, but that was okay. He'd prove that he could do it, and Clara would be so grateful for him rescuing her!*
