Jade walked towards a coffee shop and sat down. She turned on her iPhone and looked up 'Rental Car Services in Caster, New Jersey. One popped up and she clicked on it. She clicked on 'How much do I have to pay for three days?' The price was $400. Jade's mouth nearly dropped to the floor. She walked up to the cashier.
"Are there any taxis round here?" She asked.

"Yeah. Go around outside. You'll see one and when you do wave em' over to ya." The cashier replied with a New Jersey accent.

"Okay thanks, sir." Jade went outside.

A taxi flew past her. Then another slowed down because she waved him over. He stopped and she got inside. She told him the address and he nodded and drove off. She called Rick.
"Hey where are you? I found her phone number." Rick answered.

"I'm on my way to her house." Jade told him.

"No, babe! You were supposed to wait! Come pick me up at the coffee shop. I just got there." Rick sighed.

Jade tapped the driver. He stopped the car.
"Hmm?" He said.

"I'll pay you extra if you go back and pick up my friends. At the coffee shop you picked me up at." Jade promised him.

"You got it sweet-heart!" The driver made a U turn and stopped at the coffee shop. Rick and Ken got in the cab.
"Same address." Jade told the driver.

They drove to Mara Lee's house and stopped in front if her house. Rick dialed Mara's phone number.
"Mara Lee here. Who is this?" A woman answered.

"It's police officer Richard Miller. Is your sister LillyAnne with you?" Rick replied.

"Yes she's with me. Is she in trouble?" Mara Lee sounded worried.

"No, ma'am. May we come inside your home?" Rick said.

"Oh. Your outside my house?" Mara Lee sounded shocked.

"Yes ma'am. We're in a cab outside your home." Rick sighed.

"Go ahead sir." Mara hung up.
