Back at the manor the next morning Ash, Kyle, Steve and Dylan awoke to find their wives weren't beside them. They changed and ran down stairs where they all met in the lounge. "Are your wives gone too?" Kyle asks worried and they nod.
Then the door opens and giggles are heard as a drunk Crystal, Delance, Ashley and Shannon stumble inside. Their husbands stare at them in shock. "Please tell me they didn't drive." Ash pleads aloud.
"Don't worry. Ashley drove us there and I drove them back. I only had one cocktail because I was too busy talking to a guy I met." Maddison says as she walls in behind them. She looks at the girls and rolls her eyes.
"They're your problem now. I have to go clean up." She walks past them and up towards her room.
She falters by the door for a second before continuing down the hall towards Antonios room. She walks inside and locks the door. She walks over to his bed and sits on the edge, looking around. It had recently been cleaned, stuff being put away and tidied up.
His wardrobe was slightly ajar. Slowly she walked over and looked at it curiously. She walks to Antonios bedside table and goes through his drawers until she finds his black light. Taking it back to the wardrobe she turns it on and scans it over the wardrobe. There was a single set of fingerprints on the door while y he rest were on the handle. Suggesting that Antonio had opened the wardrobe in a last minute hurry to get something.
Curiosity takes over and she opens the wardrobe. All looked perfectly in place except for one small thing. One of the draws wasn't fully closed. The golden label in graced into the wood said 'Military Jacket of Old Times'. Maddison just stood there staring at the label, tears brimming her eyes but didn't fall.
Slowly she opens it to find it empty except for a slip of paper folded multiple times with 'For Maddison' written on it. With a shaking hand she pulled it out and cautiously opened it.

'My dear Maddison
I'm sorry that I had to leave. I never wanted to leave you alone. Especially at a time like this.
I left this note, knowing you'd find it. I have my jacket with me and on it is a small camera. I want you to use it you'll be able to see me and what I'm doing.
You'll know if I'm alive or if I'm dead.
There us however one thing that I need you to do.
If you see me , in tortures or worse turn the camera off. I don't want to have you see any of it.
Now I promise I'll come back to you when this whole thing between Russia and America is over. Nothing an stop me.

The password to the camera is 'PlatinumRose0908' but that won't be all. To get in you'll need to enter 12 codes. Each code resets every 5 minutes so you need to find the pattern and use it. You need to enter all 12 codes in before 5 minutes pass or else everything will reset, even the codes you've figured out.

Goodluck'

Maddison drops the note when she finished reading it before quickly picking it up and hurrying from Antonios room to hers. She undresses and has a swift shower before jumping into some clean clothes.
Brett was just about to knock on the door but Maddison flung it open and ran past him, racing to the very top floor where the best computer system they own is held.
Quickly she gets to work.
She meeds to get that live video.
She needs to know that he's alive.
She needs to know that for now he is safe.
"Maddison? What are you doing?" Brett asks caution hidden in his tone.
"How did you do it? I was with you the whole time since 1 am." Maddison mutters and Brett almost falls over.
"What are you talking about?" He gasps and Maddison passes him the note before starting to hack into Antonios system.
Brett breaths in sharply. "Damn. This is big."
"I know. That's why I need some space. Hacking into Antonios system will take a week at least because I fixed it up. The firewalls are made to perfection and I have no idea of what his password could be. Then I need to find his camera file in all his other files which is a task in itself then I need to hack into those. After that there's a whole string of codes as you know from the note. This may take me months. But we don't have months so I'm gonna need space. Please leave and tell everyone not to bother me. The only person who can come up here us Ashley with food and drinks. Now shoo." Maddison says in a kind yet firm tone. Brett puts the note beside her and walks out.
As soon as the door closed she sighed and slumped in the chair. "Why did you have to make this so hard for me?" She hissed to herself.
She heard footsteps and quickly sat up and began hacking again. The door opens and she glances sideways to see Ash. "Ashley is drunk and you need something to eat so here. Please don't push yourself. Take breaks. Antonio isn't going anywhere. I promise." He says and puts a plate of toast and cup of coffee down on the side table.
"Fine. I'll have breaks in the afternoon. There's a friend I want to meet with." Maddison says as she remembers the guy from last night.
"That's good." Ash nods and walks out.
Maddison takes the coffee and sips at it slowly as she swirls around to the other side of the room and use the computers there to try figure out the algorithm.
"Why on earth did I make this so good." She laughs to myself.
"Oh right. To hide your secret information." Maddison rolls her eyes.
"My hacking skills are definately put to the test."
