Thomas and Max both ran over to the police station with Thomas holding the picture in his hand. Thomas and Max both stop at the foot of the staircase to the station. "Max I need you to stay here," Thomas order. Max barked in reply. Thomas nodded and walked up the steps to the police station. Thomas walks into the station to find Emily's parents standing by a water fountain. "Mr. and Mrs. Mattews," Thomas said as he walked over to them. The Mattews both looked at Thomas as he approached them.
"Thomas?" The Mattews both said. Thomas then pulled out the picture as he stood in front of them. "I have something to show you that might invole Emily," Thomas explained. The Mattews looked at each other again then looked back at Thomas. "Wheres Emily do you know where she is?" Mr. Mattews asked. Thomas nodded, "Yes but first I have to tell you something," Thomas added. Mr. Mattews stood up and looked into Thomas's eyes. "Please tell me where she is I have been worried sick," Mr. Mattews simply said as he puts his hands on Thomas's shoulder.
Thomas looked down at the picture and looked up at Mr. Mattews. "Hold that thought," Thomas said as he moved away from Mr. Mattews and headed for the door. "Thomas!" Mr. Mattews shouted as he grabbed his coat from the chair. Thomas walked out of the station looking back hoping that Mr Mattews was following him. Without paying attattetion he ran into someone. "Oh sorry," Thomas said quickly looking in front of him. "Wait I'm not sorry... what are you doing here Atticus?" Thomas asked crossing his arms. Atticus sighed before for looking at Thomas.
"Looking Thomas I'm sorry for what I did to Duke and you I want to help," Atticus confessed. Before Thomas could reply Mr. Mattews was coming outside to talk to Thomas. "Okay fine you can help just run!" Thomas said as he started push Atticus down the steps. "What's the hurry?" Atticus asked as Thomas continued to make Atticus move. "I'll explain on the way just go!" Thomas shouted. "We can take my car," Atticus offerd. Thomas nodded. "Okay, okay, okay whatever works for you just get in," Thomas said running to his car.
Thomas then looked back seeing Max by the station. "Max you need you get out of here go back to the boat!" Thomas shouted to Max. Max barked in replied and headed for hs grandpa's boat. Thomas then jumped into Atticus's car and closed the car door. Mr. Mattews ran outside of the police station and ran towards the car. "Anytime now Atticus," Thomas said getting worried. "Hey it's an old car pal! Atticus said getting angery. "Who ever said I was you're pal.," Thomas asked. Atticus smiled.
"I love you man just like old time's," Atticus said as the car started. "Yeah, yeah, yeah now Drive!" Thomas shouted as Mr. Mattews tried to opened the car door. Atticus then stepped on gas pedal and then they were off leaving Mr. Mattews in the cold snow. Thomas looked back seeing Mr. Mattews in the snow. "Yes!" Thomas shouted with a smile. "Now are you going to tell what the hell is going on and where we're going " Atticus demanded. Thomas then lost his smile and looked forward. "Take a right away from the town," Thomas said. Atticus nodded and did what he was told. "Now tell me what this was all about," Atticus demanded again. Thomas sighed then started to explain everything that has happended to him, Ashley and Emily.

Emily walked back and forth wondering whats taking Thomas so long. "Somethings not right something went wrong I just know," Emily said as she continued to pase. "Emily his going to be fine," Jenna said confronting her. Emily then stopped her pacing and looked at Jenna. "But what if his not," Emily said as she started to form tears in her eyes. Jenna the stood and walked over to her and nuzzled her. "Everythings going to be fine I know it is," Jenna said as she licked the top of Emily's head.
"Storm's getting worse out there," Charlie said walking back into the boat. Ashley crossed her arms as just watched the snow storm take over the land. "Please Thomas just make it back alright please," Ashely said to herself. Balto and Charlie looked at each other. "Balto this storm is getting worse. We need to start thinking about getting everyone underground," Charlie insisted. Balto looked at Charlie and nodded. "Alright but I need to wait for my daughter to get here," Balto said. Charlie nodded as he walked over to Ozzy and laid next him.
"Thomas you're crazy," Atticus said as he drove through the thick snow storm. Thomas looked at Atticus. "No I'm not. I'm telling the truth!" Thomas protested. Atticus chuckled, "Get real you're just doing this to get back at me I get it okay. I'm sorry alright?" Atticus said slowing down the car. "No just drive we're almost there!" Thomas shouted. Atticus then stopped the car. "What are you doing?" Thomas asked. Atticus looked at Thomas. "Dude please just let me say I'm sorry!" Atticus said rasing his voice. Thomas shook his head. "Drive!" Thomas said angrly. Atticus shook his head. "No," he repiled.
"Then you give me no choice," Thomas said as he opened the car door and got out and slammed the car door and ran towards the boat. "Damn it Thomas," Atticus said as he drove beside Thomas. "Get back in the car now!" Atticus shouted. Thomas looked at Atticus as he drove beside him. "Why should I? You don't believe me!" Thomas shouted back at Atticus. Atticus shook his head. "Who would believe you. This is crazy," Atticus repiled. Thomas just shook his head. "She's in there if you want to go see her," Thomas said as he started to run over to the boat. "Damn it," Atticus said again.
Aleu, Toklo, Toby and Jaxson all walked into the boat. "Papa?" Aleu said as she walked into the boat. Balto looked at his daughter and smile. "Aleu thank god you're alright," Balto said as he walked up and nuzzled her. "Who's the girl?" Toklo asked looking at Ashley. "It's a lobg story," Balto answered. Toklo nodded in response. Emily looked at Balto's family as they started talking to each other. Emily stood up and walked over to the window. "Thomas?" she said looking out the window.
Balto then walked over to where Emily was standing. "Who's he talking to?" Balto asked as he looked at Thomas who was standing next to a car. "I... I... I don't know," Emily replied. "Maybe we should o out there," Balto said Emilly nodded. "Yeah," Emily repiled. Balto and Emily both barked at Ashely to get her attention. Ashely then ooked at Balto and Emily. "What is it?" Ashley asked. Balto and Emily then ran outside with Ashely following them.
"Thomas get back in the car now!" Atticus shouted Thomas stopped running and looked at Atticus. "You know what I wish I never met you!" Thomas shouted in anger. Atticus then formed a fist in his right hand. "Take that back!" Atticus shouted Thomas chuckled "Just like last huh?," Thomas asked. Atticus shook his head. "Come on Thomas we dont have to fight about this," Atticus repiled. Thomas looked away from Atticus. "Yeah just like you left me and Duke alone!" Thomas shouted Balto heard the name Duke and stopped right on the dot. "He knows Duke?" Balto thought to himself.
Emily then stopped and waited for Balto. "Balto is something wrong?" Emily asked Balto then shook his thoughts away and looked at EmilY. "No everythings fine," Balto said as he started running again. "Atticus?" Ashley said as she ran up to Thomas. "Emily?" Atticus said looking at Ashley. Thomas shook his head and started walking pasted Balto and Emily.
