Dave drives back to the motel as he pulls back into the parking lot .He saw Jason walking along the pathway .His angry flares up .He gets out of the car leaving the door open and grabs him by his arms and pins him to the wall .

"What did you do with her? ",Dave has Jason pinned against the wall "I wanna know what you did with her "

Jason looks a little scared " some guy over on first and main .He took her ."

Dave eyes fill with more angry " what is wrong with you ?She is just a baby. If anything has happened to her I will come looking for you "Dave drops Jason to the ground .As he walks to the car Cathy comes out lighting a cigarette as she saw Dave she yells at him .

"You kidnap my kids and then you come back here "She snaps at Dave as he is walking back to get back in the car .

"He is a nut ",Jason says as Cathy helps him up .

"I am not a nut I am parent and maybe I am not the parent of those girls but I love and worry about them .Your kids ?You didn't spend a week making Eleanor her dance costume or sitting through her dance classes ,you didn't spend all day getting red colored dye on your hands for two days from making a volcano with Jeanette and you sure didn't stay awake all night with Brittany nursing a sick child when she got the flu ,and you didn't spend the last 6 months wondering if you made a mistake and handed three innocent children over to someone who might hurt or kill them so don't even go there ",Dave slammed the door to the car and drove out of the parking lot.

Jason shook his head as he took off ."He is crazy "Cathy puts her arm around Jason .She stood for minute and just staring .

"Come on don't worry about him ",She said helping Jason back to the room.

Dave uses the GPS to find first and main .He drives down first looking around and found nothing .He tried main .Dave pulls over to the side of the road and starts to cry .He drives back to the hotel as he parks he composes himself .He walks up to the door opening it the kids are sleep the girls in one bed the boys in another he comes over tucking them in .He sits in a chair watching them He couldn't sleep so he got up staring out the window .

"Dave " He heard a voice say he turned around and went and sat down on the bed the girls were sleeping on .Eleanor looked up at him ."Where is Brittany ?"

Dave looks down at her "I haven't found her yet but don't worry I will ok .Are you girls ok ?"

"Yeah ,Dave we are ok?"Eleanor looks up at him with sad eyes .Dave pats her back until she falls back to sleep .

Dave is flipping channels on the tv when he comes across a news broadcast "a young girls body was found in a dumpster tonight "Tears run down Dave's cheeks .He shakes his head "she is said to to have blond hair with blue eyes about she is about 12 years old .Dave sighs in relief "O thank god "he whispers to himself .He didn't want to be happy about hearing such a thing but he was glad it wasn't Brittany .

The next morning the kids are sitting eating breakfast in the lobby .Alvin knocks his cup of juice on to Jeanette accidently .

"Alvin ",she snaps at him .Alvin just pops the rest of his waffle into his mouth .

"Alvin chew your food ",Dave corrects him he starts cutting his food into bites .Dave yawns he was tried "I don't want you to choke ."

"Dave don't you think I am little old to be cutting up my food "Alvin rolls his eyes .

Theodore was sitting next to Eleanor .They both had a giant pile of waffles on their plate .Simon is sitting on the other side of Dave .He is reading a book while eating .Dave is yawning and looks kind of tried .

"Maybe you need some rest Dave ",Simon says to him concerned .

"No,Simon I will be alright ",Dave reaches over hugging him .

"Aren't you going to have breakfast ?"Simon looks over at him turning his head away form his book

"I am the parent ok it's my job to worry about you ",Dave looks over at the other kids watching for minute .He drinks a glass of juice .

Simon still eyeing him oddly as Alvin throws his plate toward the trash can it hits Theodore in the head .

"Alvin " Theodore snaps at him "watch it already "

Dave doesn't say anything which is extremely odd for him .He is staring off into space .Eleanor picks up her plate and dumps a waffle on Alvin's head .He shakes it off and picks up another waffle throwing it at Eleanor she ducks and it hits Simon knocking off his glasses to the ground .He reaches down on the ground picking them up .Jeanette then picks up a waffle throwing back at Alvin who ducks and it ends up hitting Dave .

"Oops sorry Dave " Jeanette apologizes .Dave shakes his head back to what's going on.

"It's ok Jeanette guys knock it off ok " Dave begins picking up the pieces of waffles and cleaning up after the kids .As he does Alvin knocks over his new cup of juice that lands on Dave's head .

"Alvinn", Dave yells in his usually tone
