"What the hell was that?" Pope says, "Why would they want to kidnap Kiara and Estrella? It doesn't make any sense."
"It's called bait." JJ says looking towards him
"I am so sick of this." Sarah says as JJ hits the building he was sat against. Sarah's eyes follow him as he stands up, "Do you think there's any way we could trust the cops?"
"The cops?" JJ scoffs, "You're joking, right? You seriously think your daddy hasn't called them already?"
"I have a crazy idea. Why don't we call my parents?" Pope suggests
"And say what, Pope?" John B asks
"And say we're alive." He says, "I haven't seen my family in I don't know how long. They're probably worried sick about me. We can just call and maybe ask them to wire us some money or something."
"And put them in danger?"
"I got a better idea." JJ says pulling a wallet out and holding it up, "And faster."
"Whose is that?" Sarah asks
"You think I'm gonna go through someone's backpack and not pinch their wallet?" He says, "Jimmy Portis, Cattle Wash." I bet that's where they got Estrella. All right? So, that's where we're going."
"Alright, that's conceivable." Pope says as John B takes the ID from JJ, "But can we at least think this through?"
"You got a better idea, Pope?" JJ says taking the ID back from John B, "Come on, Cattle Wash. That's where we're going."

Estrella looks ahead as the truck they were in pulls up to a gate. Three men with guns stood aside as the truck came to a stop. One of the men approached the truck and looked around it before nodding.
"All right, let them in." He says. Kiara and Estrella look back as they pass the men up and continue on through the driveway. Seconds later, the truck stops and the men open the trunk door before pulling the girls out. Two men take their arms and lead them to the front door. Before they could knock, the door swings open revealing an older woman.
The men push the girls inside before shutting the door behind them. Estrella and Kie take a second to look around. They notice a few gold items on display.
"Take them upstairs." The housekeeper says, "The Orinoco Room."
"This way." A man says before snatching Kie's arm, "Up."
He then reaches over and grabs Estrella's arm before pushing the girls upstairs. He leads them down the hall before approaching a door and opening it. He pushes both girls inside before standing by the doorway.
"Why are we here? Who are you working for?" Kie says
"Dinner at eight." He says, "I'd clean up."
"Just tell us what they want." Estrella tries, but the guard simply closes the door before locking it. Estrella reaches forward and rattles the doorknob as Kie looks around the room. Estrella lets out a deep sigh as she lays her head on the door. She shuts her eyes as she takes a second to compose herself.
