I wake up from my nap, and walk downstairs. Connor says, "I went and bought groceries babe." "Thank you." I said.

(1 hour later.)

Me and Connor were both dressed to go meet Jack. "Wait, what about Gaby?" I asked. We both quickly run upstairs, and open the guest room door. She wasn't in there. "Crap." Connor said. "Now we'll never figure this thing out." I grab my purse and jacket, "Lets just go to the restuarant, she may have gone there." I said. "Okay." He takes my hand and we go to the car. As we're driving along the beautiful streets of Hawaii, we see the man again, he turns down this...odd looking road. "Connor, call Jack. We'll be late." I follow the man, but I tried not to make it obvious that I was. Instead of calling Jack Connor texted him...

Connor: we're so close to figuring this out, we'll be late. Is Gaby there?

Jack: yes, be careful.

Connor: got it.

"He said she was there and to be careful." I nodded.

After what felt like forever of driving, we finally get there. On this old backroad, the lights were so old, the streets looked green. We pulled the car over to the side of the road, Connor got out, then I did, you know, just to make sure the coast is clear. I stay behind the car, while he looked around. Maybe...around 5 minutes later, he comes back. "All clear." I nod and say, "he went into that building right there." I then point to this old building. "Lets go then." He says, and we slowly tip top over there. Probably the wrong time for this...but I keep thinking of tip toe by the window. I used to sing that over at my friends house, goofing off of course! Sorry. Got sidetracked.

We finally reach the door, its open a bit. Well...more like cracked. We peek through to see whats going on. Inside we Gaby and Jack tied to a chair, the women, the "fake", and the man. "I have a gun in my car, incase of emergencies." Connor said. "Go get it, i'll wait here." He nods, and goes to get his gun, trying not to make any noise. I also whip out my phone and call the police. The building had now windows, so I just went to the side.

A couple minutes later Connor comes back to the building. I come up beside him. "Cops are on the way." He nodded. "Should we burst in, or...what?" "Just wait until you hear sirens, then we can go in."

Clearly, some serious stuff was gonna go down tonight.
