Remember when I said "I have an idea" to Jenny & Flora, well it was to get in touch with Professor Leeds. Knowing the sisters had to make a call on who they wanted to align themselves with weighed heavy on me, because I was going to go with the professor no matter what. The ladies agreed and felt this could be the best option for also assisting in covering up what the Professor did in the bakery. Getting Carlotto dressed in the finest red velvet suit was tricky, but also kind of fun knowing were about to take a major villain out of the picture!

Tu came and assisted and was soon pulled away by Paulo. Turns out there some how was more going on in Ledges then I knew about!

            (The Lafferty Compound Courtyard) Fox sits with Sabastian explaining his theory and this theory is that someone kidnapped Cecil. Obviously, this worries Sabastian because he cannot lose his best friend amongst all of this.

"We fucking finally put Cotta away, and now Cecil is missing? His car was found at the Hewinson. (raising his hands and his voice Sabastian asks) Who else is interested in the Ekati? Has anyone seen Talita, maybe she can help? (The men all look around and she isn't there nor is Henrique. The Stokes brothers enter the courtyard) Hey something is off, we swung by the Eridanus and all of Cotta's men are not there! Are they all heading down to the prison? (Fox says) Ask Greg, where is he at? (Trevor says. Rising from his chair Sabastian realizes that Greg is with Henrique) What is it man? Fox, can you give Jesper and Trevor and I a moment? Yeah man, sure thing."

            Sabastian walks a few feet aside with the brothers and whispers maybe Henrique has done something, explaining he has always been a bit off. Trevor instantly reaches for his gun, with Jesper calming him down. Jesper than asks what Sabastian may be thinking; is Fox and Henriques past too connected where they may not be able to trust Fox? They return to the courtyard and Sabastian lets his fear get the best of him and has Trevor tie up the brute that is Fox. Fox pleads that he doesn't understand what is happening and that he has been nothing but loyal to Sabastian and the guys. "When we find Henrique and we clear this with Talita itll be good friend. Sabastian wait...." Trevor gags Fox and they leave him in the courtyard garden shed.

Day turns to night and another wing of the storm crashes down upon Ledges.

Gabriella is taking care of the young Stokes girl and her grandson in Professor Leeds flat. As he is about to leave with Jesper, Gabriella says to the two men that they best be careful. This night brings great sacrifice, she had a premonition of larger than normal cascading waters with an endless demise. Though she cannot explain it, she says she seen three people in their shadows. She fears it's the Stokes and Sabastian. Jesper takes her hand and warms it with confidence that everything will be ok with them. This does in deed warm Mrs. Myrons heart as she could feel the energy somehow. She tells them to be safe!

We have our people at all the look out points waiting to see where Henrique could be and what may have happened to Talita and Mr. Bates. Flora re-enters her hotel and locks it down. She allows us to see her cameras of the city, well at least the ones that haven't been destroyed by the rain. Paulo and Tu arrive finally, and they tell Jenny that its Jesse Sorenson who must have taken a lead, because ALL the men are no where to be found. I inquire about the Hewinson, and Paulo states that Sabastian is on his way there now to find out. Oddly as the thunder roars Cara grabs my hand. I've never felt so adult in my life, but as I went in for a kiss she pulled away.

A muddy road leading into the thick forests up hill from the docks a hideaway home is kept. Cecil is dragged out of the back of a jeep and into the home by Jesse Sorenson himself.

"Wake up! (Cecil comes too slowly) What do you guys think I know? (TJ chimes in) Yeah, Jesse I don't know about this. I agreed to help you get the buildings for your own purposes, but I've know this geek for a long time. He's simply that a geek! See, listen to the playboy bunny there- I can't help you!" You, see that's where I don't believe you. (Jesse's demeanor has now changed, as though a fire has been lit inside him) Now, things don't just happen. We all don't end up meeting for no reason. The other night at the Eridanus you were there, and with Talita Pizziano of all people. And man? Where that Twain kid announces that there's another Tivoli in the very same room. Why would you an accountant be sitting there with the wife of Cotta's Cousin during an event such as that was? I have a lot of clients. Yes, I bet you do. Now you see I may have played second fiddle to Mr. Cotta, who as you may wish to know has been arrested tonight on murder charges of my men. (He laughs, then TJ laughs for no apparent reason) Carlotto didn't kill my men, because he didn't know that I was going to kill his first. (Logan appears and this startles both TJ and Cecil. He opens the back porch to a slew of dead bodies) Logan, didn't you say you seen Cecil rushing off with TJ's lover here the other day at the unfortunate funeral? He did as though to protect him, Jesse. Wait guys, (TJ laughs) Sabastian Leeds and he are friends that's all. What I mean, Mr. Brodie is that while you've been working for us your ex lover has taken up a new life here in Ledges. Yeah Logan, we've established that. (Jesse turns to Cecil with rage and horror in his eyes) Its Sabastian Leeds that is the living Tivoli isn't it Mr. Crane?"
