They hadn�t found her. For two hours, the security team had been stationed at the store exits, but no one matching Rory�s description had left the store. The police had questioned Lorelai, who had managed not to burst into tears until the very end. Sookie St. James, her best friend, had brought her home, and before she knew it, her house was filled with people all concerned for Rory�s whereabouts. Sookie was there, along with her husband, Jackson, and their son, Davey. Luke Danes, who owned the diner, was there with a burger and a milkshake for Lorelai, but she barely touched it. Her parents, Richard and Emily Gilmore were also there. Dozens of Stars Hollow citizens had stopped by, and a town-wide search was in progress.
Lorelai just couldn�t join in, though. Her daughter had now been missing for almost five hours. She had this huge dreading feeling in her gut that Rory was hurt or beaten or unconscious. She choked back a sob as she sat on the couch, clutching a pillow in her hand. The five-o�clock news was playing softly in front of her, but she barely heard it. Christmas is only eight days away. All those Christmas commercials. Rory and I should be laughing at them and eating junk food. What if� what if she doesn�t make it home for Christmas? A tear dripped down Lorelai�s face, and another and another. She could feel Sookie�s arms around her, and she leaned over onto her shoulder.
�Did anyone call Christopher? He should know,� Emily said, �Lorelai, did you call him?�
�Mother, he�s in Hawaii with Sherry and Gigi until January 10th.� Lorelai reminded her.
�But, he should know! He has the right to know that his daughter is missing. How would you feel if Rory stayed with us, you were somewhere else, and she got kidnapped, could very well be dead�.�
�Shut up, mother.� Lorelai growled.
�Lorelai!� Emily said, aghast.
�Emily.� Richard interfered, �Just give Lorelai some time. I�m sure Lorelai was planning on calling him as soon as she gets her bearings.�
�Gets her bearings? Someone could be beating Rory with a stick and you want to wait to call Rory�s father?� Emily went on.
�Mother! Leave my house!� Lorelai screamed, �Anyone who isn�t going to help find my baby needs to go.� Lorelai had tears streaming down her cheeks now.
Emily looked crestfallen, �I�m sorry. I want to find Rory, I really do.�
Sookie stood up, �Okay then, Luke, Richard, and Emily, you guys go help search. Jackson, take Davey home.� she ordered. As soon as she ushered everyone out of the house, she went back to Lorelai, who was still crying, �Oh, honey. We will find Rory, I promise.�
Lorelai nodded, �I know.�
�Do you want some coffee?� Sookie asked.
Lorelai nodded again, �Please.�
�I�ll be back then.� Sookie gave Lorelai another hug, and went to the kitchen. Lorelai could hear her filling up the coffeepot. She looked at the TV screen, just as they finished up the weather report.

�From Stars Hollow, the town where nothing ever happens, a college girl goes missing. Nineteen-year-old Rory Gilmore, a Yalie, and a Stars Hollow native, went missing just after noon today from Stars Hollow Shopping Center. If anyone has seen this young woman, please call the police station at 555-9200.�
