Connor:

The next day i call Caleb.

"Caleb go back to the cellar and look for her again."

"Con don't you think this whole mission is a dud. We should call the quits."

"Caleb go and look for her. Or are you against me now and YOU took her." Caleb doesn't speak for awhile before answering.

"Go find another henchman Connor." He hung up.

I don't know what he's done but i won't tolerate it. I climb in my car and start the long drive to his house.

-------------------------------------------

I'm driving for a while when i hear giggles coming from the back.I pull over to investigate.

Natasha and Zoe of course are stuffed in the backseats.

"What are you doing here. " I growl.

"Don't talk just drive. We don't trust Clarence so we're here to confront her." Zoe says.

"Are you sure?"

"Do you think im lying?"

"Fine. But buckle up."

We continue the drive. Upon arriving to his house i can see his car was not there. I tell the gorls to stay and wait.

I ring the bell but no one answers. Using the spare key Caleb gave me years ago i enter his house. I can tell his mother is baking- or to say trying- one of her creations.

I stumble in the kitchen avoiding flour and various ingridients.

She looks up from mixing.

"Hello darling!Long time no see."

"Hi.Same to you. Do you know where Caleb is?"i ask.

She pauses since she usually forgets a lot of things when she bakes. "I believe he said something about a cottage?"

"Thank you" I start to back away.

"DOn't you want to stay and wait for my cookies?"

"Im sorry im on a tight schedule."

"Well come visit soon."

"Will do."

"So where is Caleb?"Zoe asks.

"At his cottage." ianswer.

We usually went to his family's cottage for the summer so i knew exactly where it was.

------------------------------------------------

It took a while but we arrived and disembarked. Ok Caleb still wasn't here,but it didn't mean Clarence wasnt.

I decide to simply knock-since i forgot the other key Caleb had given me. No answer
