Well, her husband's name is Bob Seaver.

I need a physical description

of the missing persons.

Well, there's Shadow. He's got

brown eyes and sandy-colored hair.

And Sassy's got blue eyes.

She's Himalayan.

- Himalayan?

And Chance is- Well,

he's white with black spots.

- Black spots?

- That's right.

Look, kid, this is the

San Francisco Police Department.

We can't go chasin'after

stray cats and dogs.!

I'm sorry, but we got

more important things to do.

This is important to me,

and my brother and sister.

What are we supposed to do,

Just forget about them?

Let me tell you something

that might help you out.

Sometimes when we're

lookin'for a suspect...

we make up these reward posters

and we put 'em up all over the city.

Now, sometimes it works,'sometimes

it doesn't. But... it's a shot.

Yeah, maybe I'll do that.

Hey, kid. Good luck.

Thanks.

Peter, do you want me

to help you find something?

- Mom? Who made these?

- Bob did.

- He did?

- Yeah, he sent them everywhere.

- Why didn't he say anything about it?

- After the way you talked to him...

the other night I think

he's afraid to even look at you.

And he didn't want

to get your hopes up.

Has anyone called?

I miss Shadow, Mom.

- Oh, honey.
