Argyle was in his personal office, obviously arguing with someone.

"Anyssa, you don't understand," he spoke calmly, with an edge to his voice. "If we go to the Aboveground and find Phoenix's residence, all he'll do is act out."

"But father," Anyssa protested. "If we don't act out on HIS behalf, we could all end up dead! What happened with Mother is unacceptable!"

"Anyssa!" Argyle pounded his fist on the table, standing up. "Don't you tell me what I already know of! We will NOT act out until the time is right!" Argyle sat back down in a more calming manner.

Anyssa sighed and started to walk away.

"Wait, Nyssa.." Argyle called back.

She stopped, turning around slightly. "Yes, father?"

He smiled sadly. "I love you, and I promise to you, we WILL act out soon."

"I love you too, daddy." She smiled back, walking out of the room.

"I had a nice time tonight." Sarah told Jareth with a smile, walking back into the apartment building. "And… why is the NYPD here?"

"I had an exquisite time as well." Jareth was grinning ear to ear. They walked in peaceful silence until they got up to Sarah's floor to find the Police surrounding hers and Melody's door.

"What… What's going on here?" Sarah was nearly hyperventilating. "Where's my daughter!"

"That's what we're trying to find out, Ms. Williams." A detective was walking over to Sarah. "I'm Detective Swanson, Ms. Williams. Your daughter disappeared at about 8:15. We got a call from Ms. Harbor about this, how you were out on a date and she was babysitting your daughter. Do you have any idea who the kidnapper is and where he or she could've taken her?"

Sarah was engulfed in tears, crouching in a corner on the floor. Jareth had decided to step in. "I'm Jareth King, and I think I'll take it from here. My brother is the biological father of Sophie, and I'm considered her father. I think him or his friend might've taken her."

"Do you know where they live?" Detective Swanson asked, writing it down.

"Sarah? Where does Phoenix live?" Jareth crouched down next to her, taking her in his arms.

"7783 Stillhouse drive." She said shakily.

Detective Swanson wrote it down quickly, gathering the police out of Sarah's apartment. "Thank you for your time, Ms. Williams and Mr. King."

Jareth nodded in agreement, picking up Sarah and taking her to her room. "I'm going to go talk to Melody about what happened, I'll be right back." He said. "I love you; please don't do anything I wouldn't." Sarah barely nodded in response.

Jareth ran over to Melody's furiously knocking on her door.

"Yes?" She asked, opening the door to Jareth and letting him in. "I swear to god, I don't know what happened!" her eyes were widened and she looked like she was crying.

"I know you had nothing to do with it, Ms. Harbor," Jareth told her calmly. "I just need to know what happened on your behalf."

"I went to go get her another cookie," Melody explained. "And I heard a man's deep laughter echoing through my apartment, and Sophie screaming. I ran back in, and she was gone!"

Jareth nodded lightly. "We suspect it was Phoenix or his partner, Vladimir." He was clenching his fists up in a ball and tears of pure rage were building in his eyes. "I must go to Sarah now, make sure she's okay."

"Alright." Melody was shaking her head furiously. "OH! And Jareth," Melody stopped him.

He turned around lightly. "Yes, ma'am?"

"Phoenix is powerful, and so is his magic. Please steer clear of him best you can, even if he is your brother."

Jareth nodded. "I'll be sure to protect my daughter and Sarah as soon as we find her again. I won't let a thing touch them. I swear on my life." Jareth ran out of the door, calling Sarah's name.

Melody shook her head. "I sure hope he can keep up to that promise…"
