In Goa airport, the Jackson family was waiting for Eddie. Rebbie and Jackie see their watch impatiently. Joe ask

Joseph - Where is this boy and what is taking him so long? (irritated tone)

Taj - Daddy let us go

Tito - Let Eddie come then we will go

Taj - We came here before him and he did not come yet

Kate - Did he come out from the other side? (worried tone)

Joseph - Not possible as all got out in one way as the other one was jammed

Prince - There he comes (seeing Eddie)

Joseph - Where did you go you foolish boy? (annoyed, irritated and a little bit angrily 😠 tone)

Eddie - I was waiting for you all at the entrance of the airport

Rebbie - I told you to stay near us and be with us all the time

Michael - Let it go Reb, (fed up tone) at least he is not lost.... Yet! (mumble under his breath)

Janet - Good thing you got your bags (seeing Eddie with his laggage)

Katherine - Eddie you stay here with Taj while we get our stuffs from the carrier

Eddie - Okay (nodes his head)

La Toya - Just sit in the waiting room until we return

Tito - Don't lose Taj! (warning tone)

Eddie - Ok

Eddie sits with Taj and the Jacksons and Prince went to the carrier to get their stuffs. Prince ask

Prince - Can we trust him?

Michael - He is not that brave enough to do anything as the family is here

Taj was sitting a bit far away from Eddie because of fear. Eddie ask

Eddie - Why are you sitting there all alone Taj? (going near him while seeing Taj)

Taj - Do not come near me or else I will tell daddy everything (scared tone)

Eddie - Come on Taj, I told you before it is our own little secrets and if you let it out.... I hope you do not want to get hurt and you don't want your family to get hurt

Taj got very much scared and ran away from there. Eddie say

Eddie - Good riddances I got lost of this headaches for good.

Few minutes later, the Jackson family returns and Tito ask

Tito - Where is Taj? (looking around)

Eddie - He went to use the restroom

Tito - And you did not go with him (shocked 😲)

Eddie - You told me to stay here only

Tito - Hold this bags. (gives his and Taj's bags to Randy and Jermaine) I will be back in few minutes, Taj can't find his way

Katherine - We will wait just right here

Tito nodes his head and went to the restrooms. Five minutes later, Tito comes back and ask

Tito - Did Taj come back here?

La Toya - No (shakes her head)

Marlon - What happened?

Tito - Taj is not in the restroom

Randy - He could have gone to get some candy or juice from the vending machines

Tito - He couldn't have gone because he does not have any money with him because I and Dee Dee did not give him any. Oh my God where did this boy go. (worried tone)

Janet - We will find him so do not worry

Marlon - Could he have gone to the play area?

Prince - Not possible because it is closed

Michael - Let us go check the places near the restroom and waiting room

Joseph - You, Janet and Eddie stay here only (seeing Kate sternly)

Katherine - Okay! (nodes her head)

Prince - Michael let us check near the phone booths

Randy - I and Marlon will check near the waiting room

Jackie - Let us check near the restrooms

Rebbie - La Toya and I will check near the play area and vending machines

Michael - I should have not left Taj with Eddie

Prince - Mike do not worry we will find him soon

Michael - God knows what Eddie did with Taj that he ran away from there

Rebbie - I told mom let us leave Eddie with uncle in his house but she did not listen to us and now we are suffering (angrily 😡)

La Toya - Let us hope we find him sooner

Tito - Where he could have gone? (worried tone) Dee Dee will kill me if she finds out about this

Jackie - He wouldn't have gone far so relax.

Marlon - He is not here

Randy - Let us go and see if Jermaine found Taj near the water fountains and park

Few minutes later, they could not find Taj. Tito sits on the chair and cries and say

Tito - Dee Dee is going to kill me.... Where did Taj go?.... I should have never left him with Eddie. What am I going to say if Dee Dee calls me? (worried tone)

La Toya - We checked everywhere but he is nowhere

Janet - Could he have gone out?

Jermaine - Not possible because they won't let him go out

Suddenly Tito's phone rings and he see his wife's name on the phone. Tito shakes his head and say

Tito - No, I'm not picking up

Rebbie - She will keep calling and worrying until you answer the call

Tito - You talk to her (seeing Rebbie)

La Toya - She will call again so you itself attend the call and talk to her

Tito attends the call and hear Dee Dee ask

Dee Dee - What took you forever to pick up the call?

Tito - The phone was in silent mode

Dee Dee - Did you reach Goa safely and is Taj behaving well?

Tito - Yes (nervously)

Dee Dee - Give the phone to Taj, I need to talk to him

Tito - Taj has gone to use the restroom with Prince and Michael

Dee Dee - Ok. Where are you going to stay?

Tito - Dad only knows. Dee Dee I will call you later as we have to go to the hotel

Dee Dee - Ok but call me for sure as I want to talk to Taj

Tito - Okay (nervously)

Dee Dee - Tito is everything alright there, you sound nervous

Tito - Nothing.... Long flight so we are all tired that's all

Dee Dee - Okay, bye!

Tito - Bye!

Tito ended the call and breathes a sigh of relief and wipes the sweat from his face and say

Tito - Let us check the airport again (firmly)

Joseph - Ok (nodes his head)
