[ Aaliyah is heading on to the subway to Brooklyn, from the address Pastor Sean had sent her to go to. What Aaliyah doesn't know. She is going to place where her step twin brothers had went  for a concert before their death.] 

" I know this isn't the place; It's so run down." Aaliyah scoffed while looking at the paper with the address again " Excuse me sir." Aaliyah asked " Yes." Erin said " Is this one-four-seven twentieth street?" Aaliyah asked " Yes, this is the spot." Erin said " I can't go in there." Aaliyah said " Why do you say that?" Erin asked " The building is run down, it shouldn't be open as a business." Aaliyah said " I know it may be ran down to you, on the inside it has its imperfections. Everything on this block, may be in good shape. But keep in mind who's business is still running. After several years." Erin said " So you are saying these other businesses are closed down?" Aaliyah asked " Yes. That barber shop right there, used to be owned by Mark Johnson. He had to close his business, because his wife had cancer and he had to support his daughters and making sure that they were okay, and this next business on the side of the barbershop was Terri's Pitas she had to close down because she couldn't afford the monthly rent. So you see just because it looks perfect and well fit on the outside, everything has it's imperfections." Erin said " What business do you own?" Aaliyah asked " I own this business that helps missing and abducted children." Erin said " Shoot, I guess I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover." Aaliyah said " It's okay, whenever you are ready I will be inside." Erin said " I can do this." Aaliyah said " So this is the lucky girl we are suppose to help." Blake said " Blake don't start." Erin said " You guys are twins?" Aaliyah asked " Well, in a way. So how can we help you?" Erin asked " My daughter has been abducted from her private school down in Staten Island. My husband and I had placed her in a good private school so she can get a better education. But it turns out, the school couldn't even help her. They did filed for a police report and a amber alert has been sent out. It's been twenty- four hours and I just want my daughter home." Aaliyah cried  " I am so sorry to hear. We did take in some research,from an anonymous tip and the news may be bad." Erin said " What happened to her?" Aaliyah asked " Your daughter Grace among other girls are being held in a sex-trafficking pursuit." Blake said " No-no-no this can't be happening." Aaliyah cried " And there is more, three people are in on this. Two men and a woman." Blake said " What are their names?" Aaliyah asked " That is where we don't know, but what we do know. It all went down near the docks. Six blocks down from the school where your daughter attended." Blake said " I just want my baby back." Aaliyah said as she stormed out of the building " Go get her?" Blake insisted " Aaliyah wait." Erin said " What." Aaliyah cried " I know this is hard to take in, My brother and I will do whatever it takes to bring your daughter back home." Erin said " How can you say that? She is in sex-trafficking the rates of that is one in a million. Plus part of that million she could be sold, or killed. I don't know if I'd ever get her back!" Aaliyah cried " Keep the faith, we will continue to do our research, and we will bring her home. I want you to take a day or two to give us time. I will contact your pastor to let you know when to come back. But we will be praying for you." Erin said " Thanks." Aaliyah cried " My pleasure." Erin said [ back at the loft] " Aaliyah is that you?" Teresa asked " Yes, it's me." Aaliyah said " How did things go?" Teresa asked " I am tired mom, I tell you in the morning." Aaliyah said " Get you some rest sweet-heart, Goodnight." Teresa said " Goodnight." Aaliyah said
