Drake Sisters 06 - Turbulent Sea

girl's been missing, Brian, and no one has talked to him about it.
    Jerry said he would take care of it and I trusted him to do it. We've had two shows since Chicago when we found out the girl was missing. This should have been done already.'
    'We don't even know for certain if it's the same girl, Joley. Steve said he couldn't positively say so, that she looked like maybe, but the girls look so much alike it could be anyone.'
    'I said I was positive.'
    'Maybe the girl's gone back home by now.'
    Joley scowled at him. 'Why do you think I'm upset all over again, Brian? I called the police in New York and she's still missing. Jerry had better take this seriously. I not only want Dean questioned, but everyone else. I had Jerry make copies of the photograph to distribute to the band and crew, and he hasn't even done that yet.'
    'It's not like Jerry doesn't have a million things to do, Joley. Be reasonable. The schedule's so tight the buses barely make it from one city to the next in time to set up. The crew breaks down the set and they have to roll. By the time Jerry gets things done, they're already gone.'
    'And you don't think a child's life is more important than a concert? What's wrong with you that you don't think we should look into this?'
    'That's a job for the police. If she was at the same party, big deal, and that's a pretty big if. That doesn't mean we're responsible, Joley. You always take on way too much. She's a kid. She might have run away' Brian crossed his arms, a stubborn look on his face.
    'Maybe, but she might have run away with Dean. And that makes it our problem whether you like it or not, because if a member of our crew touched her, or ran off with her, we're looking at a lawsuit that will never end, not to mention it's wrong'
    'Joley, give me a break here. Dean probably saw the kid for a few minutes and forgot all about her. Do you think they remember all these girls they're with? They have sex, they get blow jobs, they do drugs with them. They aren't in love.'
    'That just proves my point. We can't waste any more time. I want her picture shown to everyone before they all lose their memories. And stop trying to handle me for Jerry. The coward. He knows I'm upset and he's hiding. If he doesn't get this done, he's gone right along with Dean. I mean it, Brian. I'm at the end with all of them.'
    Brian held up his hand to stop her rant. 'Listen to yourself, Joley. When was the last time you slept? Or ate, for that matter? You're not taking care of yourself. And Jerry told you we should skip Red Rocks this year, it's too small, but you insisted and we have to drive all night now and set up for a back-to-back concert. Everyone's exhausted, you included. You're acting like no one but you cares about anything.'
    'Well Jerry and I just don't see eye to eye anymore about much of anything, do we?' Joley dropped into a chair and covered her face with her hands. Maybe she was acting like a diva. She couldn't tell anymore. And Brian was right, she was exhausted.
    'Jerry wants whatever you want. He scheduled the stop in Red Rocks because you asked him to do it.'
    'Red Rocks is magical. When the sun is setting and the energy is right…' She trailed off. She couldn't explain it to Brian. You either felt it or you didn't. She was so tired she could barely think, but Red Rocks would recharge her, it always did, even when they had to do one concert right after the other to fit it in the schedule.
    'We're going to have to get going in order to make the schedule, Joley. Try to get some sleep.'
    'Is Jerry checking on this girl right now?'
    Brian shoved both hands through his hair in agitation. 'You're like a bear with a sore tooth. We don't even know if it's the same girl, Joley. Calm down and think about this logically. She could have drank too much and gone to a girlfriend's house and is afraid to go home.'
    'And she's still not home after a week?'
    'Okay, maybe she did shack up with Dean and they think they're in love,' Brian said, exasperated. Although I don't think the entire crew would be protecting him.'
    'But you're certain he worked the last two concerts?'
    'He was there. Everyone saw him. According to a couple of his friends, he didn't realize any of the girls were underage until you yelled and they started giggling. He was stupid and ran, but he made them leave. He doesn't want to lose his job. The others said he went back to the hotel that night to catch a shower before leaving the city with the bus and he's
