The next day everyone went for a walk around the town except for Ben and Danielle who were still at the hospital with Addison.

"Wow, this place really has changed." Sean said as they walked downtown in the small village.

"Yeah." said Noah, "Oh and remember..."

"Hungry Jacks where we used to pick up the chicks!" Sean and Noah laughed together and then looked at Skye, Kaylee and Alex and stopped.

"Uh...we mean, uh?" They said but then just gave up trying to take back what they said.

Kaylee suddenly stopped and said "I'm missing a child." In a very calm voice as if nothing was happening.

"Oh." said everyone

"How about we split up?" Josh said, "Which child is it Kaylee?"

"Just the usual," she replied "Jack."

"OK well, Sean and I will look downtown, Skye and Josh can look can go back the way we came and Kaylee, Noah and Abby can look in the parks and playgrounds." Alex said.

"Do we have to find him?" Abby whined.

"Yes!" Kaylee said almost yelling, "But if we don't you can have his half of the room." she whispered.

"YAY!" Abby yelled in joy and started running off.

"Come on, don't want to lose another child." Kaylee said to Noah and they sprinted down the pathway to the park.

"OK, well see you guys." Josh said and waved to them as him and Skye left.

"Well come, let's go." Alex said to Sean as they all went their separate ways.

Meanwhile at the Hospital...

"Ben, you can go walk around with the other." Danielle told him.

"No." Ben said, "I want to stay here with you and Addison."

"We'll be fine, we're going to be here for another day or two so you should go and have some fun!"

"Are you sure?" He asked cautiously.

"Yes!" She yelled, "Go, have fun!"

"OK..." He said slowly, "...but if anything goes wrong you'll promise you'll call!"

"Of course." She said quite calmly.

Ben the left and called Skye. "Hey Skye, is it OK if I come with you guys for a walk around town?"

"Yeah, of course," she replied is a frustrated voice.

"Is everything OK?" Ben asked.

"Oh yeah," she said "Kaylee's just lost Jack."
