The rest of the week proceeded without much new information. Unfortunately, it seemed as though they might not solve this one. Carlton was getting depressed, and Logan had run out of kids to ask. To make matters worse, another person had gone missing.

"Ahhhhh!"

Carlton woke up with a start. "Logan?"

"They got me, Daddy," the little boy cried.

"Who did, Logy?" he asked, pulling his baby into the bed.

"The monsters," Logan sobbed, cuddling into Carlton's chest.

"Monsters can't hurt you, Logy. All those people I put in jail? Those are the monsters. They won't hurt you because they know you have a mommy and daddy who can make them disappear."

"You promise?"

Carlton nodded. "Now let's get some sleep, Buddy."


"Daddy, who's Dobson?" Logan asked, sitting on the sleeping detective early the next morning.

Carlton yawned, opening his eyes. "He's a guy I work with. Why do you ask, Bud?"

"He called on your cell phone. I told him you're sleeping and he's gotta not bother you."

Lassiter laughed, "I'm sure he never expected to hear that when calling me. Where's Mommy?"

Logan smiled. "She's in the shower. When you go, can I shower with you, Daddy?"

Lassiter nodded. Logan liked to shower with his dad; it made him feel like a big boy.

"Time for a bath, Logy-Pogy," Juliet told him as she walked out.

"Daddy's gonna let me shower with him!"

She laughed. "Okay, then have fun."

When the two men emerged clad in matching hairdos, Juliet couldn't help but laugh.

"You've got a mini-me, hon," Juliet told him.

Carlton smiled, then they headed down to breakfast.

When they had finished eating, Carlton reached for his phone to check in with Dobson.

"Go ahead and take him to camp," he told Juliet, "I'll catch up to you."

He did his check in, and talked to the chief for a while, too. He then met up with Juliet. It wasn't until a few hours later that they realized their grave mistake.


"Logan Lassiter," the man enunciated.

"Lassiter? I thought your name was Legoto," Jordan asked in confusion.

"That's not his real name," the kidnapper choked out through laughter. "This little guy has been lying to all of you. I knew it when I saw you. That face, and that hair; you had to be their son."

The man laughed harder as he exited the room.

"That's not true at all," protested Logan once they were alone. "I swear! I've been undercover all week. My parents are members of the Santa Barbara Police Department. We've been undercover to try to solve the disappearances. I'm sorry you guys got dragged into this."

"It's okay, Logan. You're the best friend we've got. It's hard to move across the country."

Logan nodded, "I moved from Florida to California from living with my mean dad. He's no fun, and I had to see him sometimes. It sucked."

The other two nodded in understanding.

"Are we gonna get out of here soon, Logy?"

Logan shrugged, "I sure hope so."


Meanwhile, Carlton and Juliet set out to interview the pool boy's twin brother.

"Esteban is such a hard worker," his brother told them. "Very underappreciated, too, if you ask me. He worked with those brats, and cleaned the pools… and that's much more work than you would think."

They also interviewed the other camp counselors, and the rest of the janitors, and everyone had the same good reviews about the others.

Carrie and William came running to the Lassiters. "They're gone," Carrie sobbed.

"Who is?"

"The kids! Michael got out of camp to tell us. Brian, Jordan, and Logan are gone! They aren't in camp any more!"

Juliet burst into tears.
