The friend group walked around, looking at what the girls were working on. Marisa looked at Dora with a questioning glance.

-So you do want to help Beatrice?, asked Marisa.

-Yes ma'am. Miss Beatrice never told me not to intervene. She just said I should keep the girls in check. So I am. I'm keeping them in check by ordering them to find her and get her back. They are working with private and expensive equipment, including government satellites to find Miss Beatrice., replied Dora as she nodded and showed a few screens as she explained.

-Good., nodded the mother as she looked around.

Lilith walked up to a screen, staring at it. Camila joined her and looked at her.

-What are you looking at?, asked Camila.

-I'm not sure., replied Lilith with a frown.

-That screen is for an equipment that can track body temperatures in buildings through a private satellite., explained a girl who watching both.

-That's so cool., smiled Camila as she looked closer.

-Right now, you see the entire block. Us included., continued the girl as she pointed at one of the buildings.

-That is in fact cool., nodded Lilith, watching Camila admire the screen.

Ava walked up to Dora, poking her arm. Dora turned her attention to her.

-They have my laptop., said Ava plainly.

-What do you mean?, wondered Dora, unsure of what that meant.

-When they took my backpack, they took everything from it and put it in another bag, including my laptop. Can you track it?, asked Ava with a frown.

Dora raised her eyebrows and called a girl up.

-Ava, you're going follow her to a computer and you're going give her any information that she asks for, okay?, said Dora seriously.

Ava immediately nodded and followed the girl. Meanwhile, Lilith was still staring at the screen. Camila sighed.

-Okay, what is so interesting about this screen? We now know what it is but you're still staring at it., complained Camila.

-There is something wrong with this. It's either broken or...or something else., replied Lilith with a frown.

That caught a girl's attention.

-Elaborate?, asked the girl.

-See this building? It's an old printer factory. My uncle used to work there before I was born. It was shut down 21 years ago. Yet, look at all those red colors. Those are bodies, right? Why are there people in an old printer factory? Can you try zooming in on the building?, asked Lilith with a frown.

The girl did just that, zooming in on the old factory, frowning when she saw numerous body-like shapes.

-Can you try and find out what they're doing in there or what that building is used for?, asked Camila as she now agreed with Lilith over the odd revelation.

The girl nodded and pulled up another screen, quickly typing on her keyboard. She then frowned and looked at the two girls.

-This building is supposed to be empty. It was claimed as unstable two decades ago. It was supposed to be demolished in 2004 but...it wasn't. The king signed a petition for it to be kept unharmed., stated the girl.

-Pull up the satellite image of the building., ordered Dora as she overheard everything.

The girl followed the demand and showed them the live footage of a satellite over the building. Dora frowned a little, seeing a half-opened gate and and underground garage door.

-Ava. Come here., said Dora, not moving away from the screen.

The younger girl walked up to her and looked at the screen.

-What is this?, asked Ava with a little frown.

-Old factory building. Do you recognize any of this?, wondered Dora as Marisa joined them.

-No. Not really. I was blindfolded the whole time except at night when they...they took me to a cell to sleep., frowned the brunette.

-What about noise? Were there any noises that you could tell us about?, asked Lilith as she looked at ther friend.

-Noise? I mean, yeah. I heard cars a lot. And trucks. You know when they reverse and keep beeping? I heard that a lot, even at night. I also heard this...this one noise. I'm not sure what it was but it was echoing, and it was driving me insane., sighed Ava as she tried to remember details.

-Like a printer?, wondered Camila.

-Yeah! Yeah, exactly like a printer. How did you know?, frowned the brunette as she looked at Camila.

-It's an old printer factory. Old printers are loud., shrugged Camila, looking back at the screen.

-So Beatrice is in this building?, asked Ava as she turned her focus on the screen as well.

-We're not sure. It seems like they took you there, yes. But we don't know if they took Beatrice to the same place., replied Dora.

-Can you not break into and find out?, frowned Marisa as she looked at Dora.

-We could. But there's no guarantee that Miss Beatrice won't be harmed in the process or transported somewhere else without us being aware of it. We can not risk going in there and not finding Miss Beatrice., explained the girl with a sigh.

-So we need evident proof that Beatrice is in that building to go in there?, asked Camila, wanting to understand.

-Yes. Precisely., nodded Dora.

-How do you wanna do that?, questioned Marisa as she crossed her arms.

-Well, since we know where to look for now, my girls are going to hack their way into any sort of camera or audio device, trying to see or hear Miss Beatrice in any way., explained Dora once again, looking at the girls behind her who were already typing on their keyboards.

-Do you think they'll be successful?, asked Mary as she watched them.

-We have access to equipment and secret services technology since we work for the royal family. So yes. I believe they'll be successful., nodded the girl.

-Okay., nodded Ava, having hope that they'll find Beatrice.

-Let's give them some time to search and hack. Go to the second living room and I'll come and get you the second we find something. You have my word. It might take a minute or an hour or more. We don't know yet., suggested Dora as she walked them

Back to the door.

Camila took Ava's hand, knowing that the brunette needed comfort. She walked with her to the couch and sat down, joined by her friends and mother. They just sat there, waiting for any news from Dora. Little did they know what kind of news they were getting.
