An order of protection

The police in NYC give her no satisfaction, so she goes to Florida to visit her brother, since he lives only a few miles from where her roommate vacationed. Her brother is out of town when he gets her message, so he gets his friend, Scott, to see Joy gets settled in. When Joy finds out Scott is a deputy sheriff, she believes fate has stepped in, and pushes Scott to aid her in finding out what happened to the missing woman.
