After a few minutes, Anna walked into the room where her father was and she was like, oh I'm just gonna go out for a few minutes, I'm just gonna run up and grab a jumper and then I'm leaving.

So she did, she went and grabbed this black hoodie, it was like her favourite hoodie, it had all these like white prints on it, I'm sure there's a picture of it somewhere.

She grabbed it, put it on, and then went out of the door with this boy.

And then a few seconds later, her father realised, oh crap, I didn't actually ask her where she was going.

So he ran back to the front door, swung it open, but by the time he got there, Anna was already too far down the road for him to be able to shout to her and ask.

So for that reason, he didn't bother shouting over to her.

He was like, oh, she'll probably be back in a bit anyway.

But when he did look out of the door, he saw Anna and this boy walking in the direction of a park named St.

Catherine's Park.

However, they weren't actually like walking together, weirdly enough.

They were walking... it seemed the boy was quite far in front of Anna and they weren't talking, so kind of weird but... About 15-20 minutes after Anna left the house, her mother Geraldine finished work and so she grabbed her phone and returned the call from Anna from earlier.

But when she did, it went straight to Anna's voicemail.

which wasn't like her.

She was normally very good at keeping her phone charged and answering the thing, but she wasn't too concerned, to be honest, because she was literally on the train home.

She knew that she was about to see Anna in like 10 minutes, so she didn't bother calling again or anything.

When Geraldine did arrive home, she walked into the house and saw her husband, Patrick, and she was like, oh, where's Anna?

And he was like, oh, she went out with some boy.

Some boy came and called for her and they went out to the park.

And as soon as Geraldine heard this, it immediately worried her.

Now, for a lot of parents, it wouldn't worry them to hear that their kid has gone out to the park with a friend.
