Being Grassi-Hoying

Chapter 8

**Mitch's POV**

We all woke up to a knock on a door, Kirstie, who Avi got last night, looks to see who it is. "I got it." Kevin jumps up. I sit up and look to see who it is. "Hello, Mr.Olusola??" A tall, casual but formal dressed man says when he opens the door. "I'm here!!" A smaller man runs up, wearing a Hollywood Undead hoodie and a Sleeping With Sirens T-Shirt on with black skinny jeans with his hair dyed dark red. (Picture) "Nice piercing." He says to me. "Thanks." I smile. "Anyway, I'm Agent Ryan Lezzo and this is my brother, Charlie." Kevin lets them in. "You're early." Avi groans. "Sorry. It's just that I was up all night researching James Maowie, and I wanted to get started on the math as soon as possible." "Math?? I'm sorry but I don't think my daughter's kidnapping has anything to do with numbers." Scott laughs. "Everything has to do with Numbers, equations, formulas, anomalies."  He explains quickly. "Whatever." Scott sighs. "Scott." I warn him. I get out of bed and pull on a tank top. "So, what do math have to do with this??" Kevin asks as I mentally roll my eyes at him. Always trying to learn something, you see Charlie set a bag down full of shit by Kirstie. "Sorry, excuse me." He says after. "Using math can help us pick out where he could be, based on his past, look at this." He pulls out a huge paper. "If you look at these dots, they are places where he's most known to hide, and the are all old warehouses." "Like out of a scary movie??" Kirstie asks. "Well, I guess...Anyways, based on this information compared to the previous girls' home director, Sheila Carter's, colorful criminal background, I formed an equation to help guess where they are." He points at somethings and Kevin nods. "Wow, seems to be a pattern." he scans the map. "I'm lost." Scott walks up, I decide to look too. "Oh, look." Kevin compares some dots. "Oh, I see it." I nod. "I don't." Scott says as Kirstie and Avi laugh. "You are so stupid!! Look!!" I explain it to him. "Oh!! I get it now." Avi laughs harder and even Kevin joins in a bit. "Sorry for his slow mind." I roll my eyes. "It's okay, I've dealt with slower." He gives a small smile. "Anyways." Agent Ryan speaks up. "Where and when did you guys last see Ms.Kaplan and little Karlie??" "Umm, we had rehearsal and Esther came and picked up Karlie for a bit." Kirstie says. "Yeah, and when we were done Esther wouldn't answer her phone and was gone when my husband and I went to get Karlie." I explain. "Well, judging by the videos you sent us, he's not working alone." Charlie says, scribbling on a piece of paper. "You said you guys knew the people in the video who took them??" "Yes. We went to school with them." Scott chimes in. "Well, it's not their first time. Hunter and Leah Daniels have done this kind of work since they were young." Agent Ryan explains. I see Charlie running around the desk in the hotel room, pulling this and that out.  Avi talks to him a bit and I just watch Charlie move around. In certain angles you can see snake bite lip piercings. He bites at one, still scribbling on paper. I jump a bit when I feel Scott's hand on my shoulder. I hear him laugh. "You okay??" I nod. I see his eyes on Charlie too, his hand still on my shoulder. I kiss his cheek and he looks at me, smiling. "Alright. Well, Charlie." Agent Ryan looks at Charlie, snapping him out of his trance. "Sorry." He smiles sheepishly. "Well, we're gonna go get breakfast, he can keep working here if he doesn't want to mess with his train of thought." Kirstie looks at all of us as we nod, agreeing. "Wow, you guys are the first to offer that." Charlie whispers. "Thank you." "Well, we have a room next door so it's fine." Agent Ryan smiles. They go to leave, but Ryan turns around. "By the way, I love you guy's music. I listen to Daft Punk all the time." He smiles, flashing a Pentatonix bracelet. "Aw, you're sweet. Thank you." Kirstie hugs him. "Thanks." I say, smiling. When he leaves, we all turn to each other. "I'll go get Starbucks." I offer. "I'll get food." Kirstie says. "Well, I want to go with Mitchie." Scott puts an arm around me. "Thought so. Well, I'll go with Kirstie, Avi??" Kevin turns to Avi. "Kirstie." He smiles at us. "They need to be alone sometimes." I turn a little pink as Kirstie lets out an "Awwwe!!" "Alright. If anything happens someone turn on their phone and call another, but other than that let's remember what that man said. "Kevin says as we all leave the hotel room.
