Lydia sat straight in the desk with her leg crossed over the other, her body language trying to hide how uncomfortable she was. "I only know Lacy and Kayla. Hannah's a loner from what I observe and Daphne has too many friends to just focus on one." She tells the sheriff, her green eyes dotting between him and the rolling tape recorder. "She's mostly always with her boyfriend, the Lahey kid."
Sheriff Stilinksi lets out a hum. He knows the girl, Lydia Martin, a name his son utters ten times a day and a girl with a high reputation for being popular. From what Sam tells him, Lacy is (was?) popular. "There was a party at your house after the volleyball game?" He recalls the information. 
She nods. "They won. They were going to the championship so I threw a party."
"Any drinking involved? Drugs?"
Lydia's hands tighten into fists. "Of course not." She clearly lies. "What does that have to do with the girls?"
"Because we have a witness that told the news that they were going to your house after the game. Did any of the girls show up?"
Her green eyes stare into his and she doesn't speak, and the sheriff can't determine whether or not she's trying to come up with a lie or she's thinking about how to answer. "No," Lydia answers shortly and blinks, "I tried calling Lacy but she didn't answer. I tried texting but nothing. Then I tried Kayla and she didn't answer either." She explains and tries to hide her frown. "I just assumed they went home to sleep."
"My deputy sheriff says that Lacy never came that night." He tells her and he's grateful that Samuel's not in the room. "In fact, none of them went home."
At that, Lydia became shocked. "They didn't?" She speaks in another a whisper. When Sheriff Stilinski shook his head, she blinked again. "What do you think happened to them?"
"It doesn't matter what I think," Noah answers even though he already has a strong feeling inside of him, "what matters is the evidence I can gather to determine where these girls are. So you don't know anything about where Lacy and them could have gone or if they said anything to you before or after the game?" He continues to question her.
Lydia remembers seeing Lacy before the volleyball game and wishing her good luck before going to sit with Jackson, her boyfriend, but she didn't talk to Kayla or any of the other girls. Hannah wasn't close to them. They were more of acquaintances only because they were all on the team together. Daphne was captain. 
When she heard that all four of them disappeared, Lydia was confused because why would Hannah be with them? Why wouldn't they come to her party? Lacy always went home no matter what time it was because it was only her and her dad. Why didn't she go home? 
"No." Lydia answers the sheriff, her answer quiet and her eyes trailed to the tape recorder again.

Samuel's never seen somebody so shaken up before, not even in the amount of years he'd been a deputy sheriff, but Isaac Lahey looked to be on the verge of a seizure from how badly he was shaking. "What can you tell me about the missing girls, Isaac?" He asks the teenage boy.
Isaac looks equally afraid, sickly, and confused and he lifts his head. "Daphne told me she was going to go to Lydia's party after the volleyball game," he begins to explain, his voice trembling, "I couldn't go so I just went home. I tried calling her after a few hours because we always call to say goodnight but she never picked up the phone, so I tried again the next morning. She never answered." Isaac places his hand on the desk, revealing a bracelet on his wrist with Daphne's name on it.
