"Breaking news! 5 hours ago all communication and cameras inside Florida state prison were closed down. Now, that the surveillance is back on, the police has put a wanted out on Peter Horson, whose trial is in two days. Peter Horson was with Mila Wilson before the cameras were shut down. The police suspect that Mr Horson is behind the shutdown, to abduct Miss Wilson. The police, therefore, asks that if you see Peter Horson or Mila Wilson, to immediately call them."
Jace and Kyle look at each other.
They are still at the funeral, which is now completely silent after the news played.
"Where is Nick?" Jace asks and looks around for the other missing twin.
The other guests also begin to look for the twin.
But it is vain.
He is already gone.
Kyle starts calling his cellphone, but it goes straight to voicemail.
Irina and Sam come over.
"We have asked and looked around. No one has seen Nick in the last 2 hours." Irina explains with a sullen expression.
They look around. The guests are going home, probably because they don't want to be a part of an investigation.
"Do you guys honestly think that Peter would go through such measures to abduct Mila?" Kyle asks the small group.
Jace has a faraway look on his face; He is thinking back to all the things Peter did to him, to get information out of him about Mila's whereabouts.
He answers without any hesitation; "Yes."
"How about we focus on why Mila, in general, would go all the way to Florida to visit him? I mean, he must be very persuasive." Irina cuts in on the conversation.
"I think something else is up." Comes a familiar voice in the back.
Sams posture stiffens, and a scowl attaches on his face.
He turns around and comes face to face with his old friend, "What are you doing here?" He growls.
Ryan holds his ground, "I am here to help."
Irina crosses her arms across her chest, "Why would you want to help? And even more important why would we need it?"
Ryan ignores Irina and Sam and focuses his gaze on Jace and Kyle. "You two saw the way Peter looked in court 5, days ago. From what I have seen and heard from Mila, Peter wasn't acting his usual self. I think something else is up. Something we haven't even thought of."

Robert walks out of the bathroom with a sullen expression.
He can't believe that both his daughter and son is missing.
On his way towards the waiting room at the police station in Florida, he meets Jace.
Jace's hand stops him from moving any further. "Don't you think we should be out looking for them, instead of waiting here and being interrogated?"
"If Ryan is right, we have no idea who took them, so what good are we out there?"
Jace drops his hand, and Robert walks away.
Robert had hoped that it was 'only' Peter who had kidnapped them, but now they know that it wasn't him, and that worries Robert.
