Sarah takes a deep breath, trying to regain her composure Okay, okay. This is a lot to take in, but I'm here to help.
Sarah pulls out her notepad and pen Alright, let's start from the beginning. When did your brother go missing?
Sarah listens intently, her eyes focused on the Stranger Okay, I see. And did you report it to the police immediately?
Sarah pauses, her hand twirling her pen anxiously Why not?
Sarah nods understandingly Scared can be a powerful motivator. It's completely understandable. Just tell me everything you know.

Weird things? Like what kind of weird things? Did he have any unusual habits or behaviors?

Sarah's eyes widen, her pen stops spinning Disappear? For how long? And did he ever give you any clues about where he was going?
Sarah furrows her brow, flipping through her notepad Okay, let's backtrack. When was the last time you saw him before he disappeared? Can you remember any specific details?
