The girls each got sent to a different foster family. It was 
3 AM and Beth was scavaging around her bedroom. She took her backpack 
and two big Adidias duffle bags, packed all of her clothes, then 
jumped out the first story window. She ran until she was at the bus 
depot. 
	"How close to Tulsa can I get with this?" Beth asked the 
ticket seller as she set $75 on the counter. 
	"You can get to Kansas City, Misouri," said the clerk. 
	"That's all? I can't get any further? I can't get to Tulsa?" 
Beth asked. 
	"Sorry, now would you like to go to Kansas City?" asked the 
clerk. 
	"Yeah, I guess," said Beth as she took the ticket and got on 
the bus.

	The next day, around 8 am, the Hanson's recieved a call. 
*Ring* *Ring* *Ring* 
	"Hello," said Diana tiredly. 
	"Diana, this is Kristin. Beth's gone!" Kristin screamed while 
crying. 
	"Kristin, settle down, now where is she?" asked a worried 
Diana, by that time the whole house was awake and in the kitchen 
listening to Diana's side of the conversation. 
	"We don't know! Tom and Julie woke up this morning and she 
was gone!" Kristin screamed. 
	"Ok, Walker & I will be there in a little bit to help look for 
her. I have to go now ok? Bye," said Diana. 
	"Mom, what was Kristin calling at 8 am for?" asked Zac. 
	"Beth's foster parents woke up this morning and she was gone," said 
Diana as Taylor walked into the kitchen. 
	"What?! Beth's gone! Where is she? Is she alright? Did she run 
away? Did somebody kidnap her?" asked Taylor getting worried. 
	"Honey, no one knows where she is or if she's alright, but
your father and I are going to take the younger kids to Minnesota as
soon as posible and you 3 can stay here in case she calls. Alright?
Taylor, don't worry. We'll find her." said Diana confedentally.
