-Purple, Donnie, and Donnie's son D.J. are tinkering in the lab at Leo's main building-

Donnie: Don't put the bolt there D.J. It goes right here to hold the panel in place. *points at a part of a small box*

D.J.: But I don't have another bolt to put in the other spot.

Donnie: I'll get you another bolt, just put that bolt there before the entire thing falls apart.

D.J.: *sticks his tounge out at Donnie before putting in the bolt*

Purple: *chuckles as he works* Quite a kid you got there Donnie.

Donnie: *flicks the back of Purple's head* Oh hush.

Purple: *laughs again*

GG: *walks into the lab, looking exhausted*

D.J.: *waves at her* Hi auntie!

GG: *smiles and gently rubs his head* Hi D.J. Are you building something with your dad?

D.J.: Yeah! It's a mechanical Jack-In-The-Box!

GG: *raises an eyebrow* A.....mechanical Jack-In-The-Box?

Donnie: It wasn't my idea. *swivels his chair so he can type on his computer*

GG: Well you're on your way to being another genius of the Hamatos. *sits down in another chair* Has Carla been in today?

Purple: Not today. I think she's helping M.C. set up their new security systems for the house.

GG: Ugh. It's like they replace that stuff every week, can't they just stick with one for at least a year like the rest of us?

Donnie: *shrugs* Apparently not.

Purple: I say just let them be, they're happy replacing their stuff for some reason. *starts connecting wires in a machine*

GG: Maybe it's their quality time with each other. *turns on her computer*

Purple: It could be date night. *yelps when he shocks himself*

Donnie: Oh my God it's like when Nari and Leo used to go to the local dojo every week.

GG: *laughs lightly* And Nari would always kick his ass?

Purple: And then they would bone right after? *laughs as he puts on a band aid*

GG: Okay that was too much.

Purple: You know it's true.

D.J.: *tugs on Donnie's lab coat* What does bone mean?

Donnie: *sighs*Thank you Purple. *looks at D.J.* It means they were looking for dinosaur bones.

D.J.: *gasps* Can I join?!

Purple, GG, and Donnie: No!

Donnie: Why don't you go and get something from the vending machine down the hall, D.J.? *hands him a five dollar bill*

D.J.: Okay dad. *takes it and jogs out of the room*

Donnie: I'm gonna start not bringing him here.

GG: We all know that's not true. *starts typing something on her computer*

Donnie: It could be.

Purple: You love spending time with him too much.

Donnie: I hate you both. *goes back to the work on his computer*

GG: Love you too big brother.

Donnie: Eh.

~meanwhile~

D.J.: *walking down the hall of the building* Where is that vending machine? *looks around, noticing the shadow of someone around the corner* Hey is someone there?

-the shadow stood still as D.J. began to walk towards it-

D.J.: Hey do you know where the vending machine is? My dad said- *turns the corner and sees a very tall man in dark clothing* Wh-who are you?

???: *stars at D.J. for a moment before advancing towards him*

D.J.: *screams* DAD!

-Donnie, Purple, and GG hear the scream and quickly stand up from their seats-

Donnie: D.J.! *runs out of the lab*

Purple: Oh no. *runs after Donnie with GG close behind*

Donnie: *running down the hall* D.J. where are you?! *stops at the corner, looking down at the ground with wide eyes when he spots D.J.'s hat on the ground*

GG: *catches up with Purple right beside her, panting* Is he okay? *sees the hat and gasps*

Donnie: *shakily picks up the hat and stares at it* D.J..... 

Purple: He's here somewhere, I'm sure of it. We just have to find him. *starts walking down another hall* I'll go check the basement, he always loves going down there.

Donnie: *nods as he continues to stare at the hat*

GG: Hey. *grips his shoulder* We'll find him, I promise. Just go sit in the lab for a bit while Purple and I look.

Donnie: Yeah. *puts the hat in his coat pocket* Okay. *walks away*

GG: *sighs* Okay D.J.. Where did you go? *starts walking down the hallway*

~later~

Carla: *on the phone with Purple* Oh my God is he okay?

Purple: We don't know, the only evidence we have is that the person was waiting for him for a while. The camera footage shows that they were wandering around the building for hours somehow.

Carla: That's crazy. How did they get past the security systems?

Purple: We don't know tha either. Donnie is pretty messed up about it....

Carla: *sighs* I know how he feels. I don't know what I would do if Cecilia was taken. *plays with a strand of her hair* Keep me updated on this okay? I don't want to miss any detail.

Purple: I will, promise. I'll talk to you later. *ends the call*

Carla: *sets the phone down and sighs*

M.C.: *on the couch watching cartoons with Cecilia* What's wrong? *looks at Carla*

Carla: *starts walking to the couch* Someone kidnapped D.J. at the lab. *sits doin next to them*

M.C.: Seriously? Who would do that?

Carla: Nobody knows. They were in dark clothing and covering their face.

M.C.: Freaky.

Cecilia: *looks up at M.C.* Where did D.J. go?

Carla: We don't know sweetheart. We're trying to find him.

Cecilia: Mommy?

Carla: Yes Cecilia?

Cecilia: Why do people not like our family?

Carla: *sighs and rests her head on M.C.'s shoulder* I don't know sweetheart. Some people just don't like us.

M.C.: But the important thing is, *holds Cecilia and Carla close*, we still have our family. *kisses Cecilia's forehead* And we take care of each other.

Cecilia: That's corny daddy.

M.C.: Well then I guess I'm just a corn cob! *picks up Cecilia and starts tickling her*

Cecilia: *giggles loudly* Nooooo corny daddy! *gets out of his grasp and runs away to her room*

M.C.: *stands up and chases her* You can't escape the corn!

Carla: *laughs as she watches them, looking over at a photo of the entire family in a frame* We'll find you D.J. *kisses her index finger before pressing it against D.J. on the picture*
