Over Phone: Mina & Sheldon

Mina: Hello?

Sheldon: You finally answer

Mina: What? Who is- Oh, it's you

Sheldon: Ding ding ding, you get a prize

Mina: Sheldon go away

Sheldon: Well I said to my boss I would be fast so I better hurry with my call

Mina: Okay, so waste someone else's time

Sheldon: You know it would be a real shame if your back door would be open and someone we're to know how to use the fire escape

Mina: My back door is locked Sheldon, that isn't gonna work

Sheldon: We'll see about that

Sheldon: *Hangs up*

Mina put her phone on the side table and walked out to Steven and she looked at the TV at what he was watching and noticed the back door unlocked. "Steven?" Mina asked sitting down, "What baby?" He replied "Did you unlock the back door?" Mina asked "No, I don't think we locked it" Steven answered "Oh, well I-" Mina paused "Mina! Tell me, remember no secrets" He demanded "Yeah, well Sheldon called again" Mina started to explain "And he said that the back door was unlocked and he said it would be a shame if someone had access to the fire escape. Which he does" Mina continued "Huh? Do you wanna barricade it?" Steven considered "Yeah maybe a bit, either when we are asleep or not home. We barricade the fire escape entrance" Mina offered "Yeah, let me see what we have" Steven said getting up "We have nails and wood from when we built the hammock but that's it" Steven explained "Well maybe Mr. Miller has something" Mina pointed out, "Yeah, I'll go check" He said going to the door, "Uh babe" Mina stopped "What?" "You are gonna go out without a shirt?" Mina asked sarcastically "Oh right" 

"Okay, I got some ply wood and some extra nails-" Steven said walking back "BABE!" Mina yelled from the bedroom, "Yeah!" He replied "CAN YOU COME HERE FOR A SEC!" Mina yelled "Yeah" He replied. Steven walked in and was looking for Mina but couldn't find her then he heard her say it again. "BABE! CAN YOU COME HERE FOR A SEC!" And it sounded exactly the same, "Where is she, BABE?" Steven yelled before he saw what it really was. He saw a recording of Mina's voice and she was gone, "BABE! MINA?! BABY!?" Steven yelled. Steven ran down to Isaiah's apartment "Oh hi again Steven" He said opening the door, "Hi. Um I have a problem" He said freaking out, "What was it not enough plywood. I have mor-" "No, No. It's Mina, she's gone" He said getting upset "What?" Mr. Miller asked worryingly "I found this recording in our room of her calling me but the room is a mess and she's gone" Steven explained then realized something, "Wait" He said softly running back to the apartment, "Wait, STEVEN" Mr. Miller yelled running after him "No, no, no, no. NO! DAMN IT" Steven yelled "What?" Mr. Miller worried "The back door, that's how he got in" Steven said "Who?" Mr. Miller asked "Sheldon"

"He took her, he called her this morning saying he had access to the fire escape so while we were in the garage he must have came in and snatched her I guess. That sounds crazy but that has to be it" Steven explained "Okay Steven calm down. First we should call the police and see what they can do" Mr.Miller advised, "Yeah" Steven said grabbing the phone:
