How can I recover lost Pages files from a flash drive?

I've lost some '.pages' files on a 16GB Lexar flash drive that were present yesterday. The files were stored in a subfolder but now they are gone along with the subfolder. The main folder is still there. I have no idea where the files have gone to. Any suggestion on programs or steps to get them back?
