PART 2 \u2014 MILO DISAPPEARED<\/strong><\/h1>\n

A week later, Olivia\u2019s manager asked her to travel for two days.<\/p>\n

The boarding facility Milo normally stayed at was full. Her parents had a fenced garden, and Milo enjoyed chasing squirrels there.<\/p>\n

Olivia considered asking a neighbour instead.<\/p>\n

Then her mother sent a message.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can watch him, if you\u2019re finished punishing everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was not an apology, but Olivia was exhausted. She convinced herself it was an attempt at peace.<\/p>\n

She packed Milo\u2019s food, medication, leash and his favourite stuffed duck. When she dropped him off, her father scratched his ears and said, \u201cSee? This is better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olivia kissed Milo\u2019s head and left, though an uneasy feeling followed her.<\/p>\n

During the trip, her parents sent no photographs. When Olivia asked whether Milo had eaten, her mother replied with one word.<\/p>\n

\u201cFine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olivia returned early Saturday morning and drove directly to her parents\u2019 house.<\/p>\n

She noticed the silence before reaching the door.<\/p>\n

Milo always barked when he heard her car. His tail usually struck the hallway table as he rushed to greet her.<\/p>\n

This time, there was nothing.<\/p>\n

Her mother opened the door with her arms crossed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is Milo?\u201d Olivia asked.<\/p>\n

Her mother looked away.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarissa found him another home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Olivia could not understand the sentence.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour sister knew someone who needed him more,\u201d her mother replied. \u201cAfter the way you behaved, we thought it might teach you some perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n

At that moment, the ruined party no longer mattered.<\/p>\n

Olivia stepped into the kitchen. Milo\u2019s food was gone, but his stuffed duck remained trapped beneath a chair.<\/p>\n

She picked it up and felt something inside her become cold and focused.<\/p>\n

She asked whether Marissa had permission, where Milo had been taken and whether money had changed hands.<\/p>\n

Her mother avoided every question.<\/p>\n

Olivia found her father outside trimming the hedges.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you know?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n

He refused to meet her eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour sister said it was better for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

In their family, \u201ceveryone\u201d had always meant the person demanding the most.<\/p>\n

Olivia returned home without calling Marissa.<\/p>\n

She placed Milo\u2019s adoption contract, registration papers and microchip information across the kitchen table. Every document listed Olivia as his legal owner.<\/p>\n

By midnight, the papers no longer looked like memories.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

They looked like evidence.<\/p>\n

The next morning, she contacted the police.<\/p>\n

Officer Hayes arrived at her parents\u2019 house and calmly asked one question.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho legally owns the dog?\u201d<\/p>\n

Olivia handed him the documents.<\/p>\n

When Marissa arrived, she initially acted confident.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t sell him,\u201d she said. \u201cI rehomed him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid Olivia give you permission?\u201d the officer asked.<\/p>\n

Marissa avoided answering.<\/p>\n

Then a message appeared on her phone.<\/p>\n

Olivia could read part of the preview:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the owner calls, I told her\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Officer Hayes asked for the buyer\u2019s information.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Marissa admitted she had accepted money from a woman she found through a community page.<\/p>\n

Before she could invent another excuse, Olivia\u2019s phone rang.<\/p>\n

A woman named Karen explained that she had bought a dog from Marissa that morning. She had been told the previous owner was moving away and no longer wanted him.<\/p>\n

But the dog would not eat.<\/p>\n

He had hidden beneath her dining table and cried whenever she touched his leash.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis tag says Milo,\u201d Karen said. \u201cHe keeps running to the window and looking outside.\u201d<\/p>\n
