"B's what?" Max shook his head. I didn't hear him right. I thought his said my son was missing. He stared at his butler. "What do you mean missing?"
"I went to make tea and when I went to check on him to tell him to get ready for school that's when I noticed that he was gone." Niles sighed. "I found this," He held up a rope made from clothing it appeared to be. "Hanging from his window. That's the last time that we show him any fire safety tips sir." Max sat there for a minute in silence then it finally hit on him. "Oh,"
"Oh what sir?" Niles looked side to side with his eyes
"He went out the window, didn't he?" Niles rolled his eyes. I just said that.
"Yes sir, apparently he did. No telling where he went."
Niles lowered his head like it was his entire fault that the kid runaway. Niles went to the kitchen, that's when he noticed it. The intercom was on from the office. "Oh, he didn't." Niles sighed. "He over heard us talking about….Military school. Oh, no." Niles shook his head. "Wait a minute I didn't say that I was going to send him there. Max did. I bet he's hiding from Max. That's got to be it." Niles came back to the table. "He must have over hard us talking yesterday."
Max swallowed. "Oh, no." he slid his hands through his hair. "That's why…" he looked up at Niles. "Where's nanny Joesy?"
"I haven't seen her today. I sent Maggie and Gracie to the driver for school." Niles thought for a few seconds. "I haven't seen her since we hired her."
Both headed up stairs all Joesy stuff was gone.
"That's wired why would she just leave?"
Max went through the rest of the house. "My emergency money gone."
"What emergency money sir?" Niles questioned.
"In my bedroom. I keep it in the top drawer."
"Who know? Does... did B?" Max looked at Niles, "And besides the money some of my knick knacks are gone. B wouldn't take that."
A thought came to Niles as they went to the office. "Do you think?" Niles shook his head. Na, she wouldn't but what if…. "The nanny…" Niles swallowed he heard of this a lot but it never happened here. "Do you think that Joesy could have kidnapped B to make it look like he ran away?" he looked at his boss who had stopped when he heard what Niles said. "Could she be…."
"You mean, holding him for ransom?"
"Why not, she already took your money here."
"I'm calling the police." He was really getting worried. What if Joesy really did kidnap my son for ransom? What will I do then?
"He has to be gone for twenty four hours." Niles commented.
"What?"
"That's what I've heard sir."
"I have to try something. My son needs me." He dialed the number and was put on hold.
