When Drake doesn't return home by his curfew, Megan interrupts Josh's studying to ask where her brother is. At first, Josh is unphased by his musician step-brother not being home at 10:00 pm. However, when he notices that Megan is really freaking out, he offers to drive her around to look for Drake as he tries to figure out what's got the young troublemaker so upset.

Josh re-situated himself so that he was lying on his stomach on his bed, and he turned the page of his Physics textbook.  He read a few paragraphs, and then referred to pages and pages of notes in his binder. The midterm for his Physics class was in two days, and Josh was cramming as much studying into his schedule as he could. The midterm counted for a huge percentage of his final grade, and he couldn't afford to miss anything. He picked up his highlighter and highlighted a few lines on his notes, and turned another page in the book.

Out of nowhere, his bedroom door was flung open. Josh jumped, looking up in time to see his little step-sister Megan rush into the room. "Um, can I help you?" Josh asked.

"Where's Drake?!" Megan demanded.

Josh frowned. "How should I know?" He asked, looking back at his papers.

"He isn't home yet! You haven't seen him?" Megan asked. Josh shook his head. Megan, annoyed with Josh not giving her his full attention, stormed up to his bed.

"Give me your phone!" Megan said. Josh looked up at her.

"No." He said, grabbing his phone before she could take it. As he reached to put it in his pocket, Megan jumped on the bed and jabbed Josh in a pressure point. Josh contorted, and his grip on his phone loosened. Megan grabbed his phone and hopped off the bed. "Ow! Megan!" Josh said.

"Shut up. He hasn't messaged you?" Megan asked, staring at the phone. Josh stood up from his bed.

"No. Megan, give me back my phone!" He said, walking over to her.

"No! Have you tried messaging him??" Megan asked, quickly moving away from Josh.

"No, Megan, I haven't. Now give me back my phone!" Josh tried.

"Shut up!" Megan said again. She brought the phone up to her ear and waited. Josh frowned when Megan's expression changed from worried to almost emotional. She quickly turned away from Josh and spoke into the phone.

"Drake?! It's Megan. Where are you? Why aren't you home? Please call Mom or Josh or someone! Come home! And...Please be careful. Bye..." Megan hung up the phone and looked back to Josh. "It went to voicemail." She said.

"I picked up on that. Megan, what's-" Josh was cut off by the little girl again.

"Where is he?! It's 10:15 and he isn't home!" She yelled, throwing Josh's phone onto the couch in the boys' room.

"Hey, careful! He's probably at a gig and he forgot to tell Mom." Josh said, retrieving his phone and checking it for damage.

"No, no! He wouldn't do that!!" Megan said.

"Megan, calm down." Josh tried.

"No!" Megan yelled. They met eyes for a moment, and Megan ran. She bolted out of the bedroom and down the hall. Josh watched her leave in confusion. He processed what just happened, and turned around.

"Mom?!"
