Disclaimer: I own nothing or no one but Elinor, Bob and Leah.

A/N: Well, I was in a bit of a funk about the ONE review I got for the last chapter, but I decided to be nice. Hey, I don't need reviews. (But they are nice…)

A/N2 :If anyone who knows me personally is reading this, please review! I know where you live…





Elinor awoke with a start. //Mmmm. I wonder what's happening now. I wonder if they'll feed me, cause I'm hungry. Mmm donuts.//

"Hey kid. You awake?"

Elinor smiled in the direction of Leah's voice. "Sure am. Actually, I was wondering if I could eat something. Cause If I don't eat, I might die. And while that would help you, I don't think the real person behind this would be too happy. And-"

"Shut up! God, where did you learn to talk so much?" Leah asked, mostly to herself.

Elinor sighed. "Well you see, I…"



Max awoke slowly. She was confused at her surroundings at first, but quickly recognised Logan's guestroom. //Damn. I though for once I might get to sleep in his bed.// She grinned slyly at that thought.

Logan was cooking in the kitchen. //I wonder if Max would want pancakes or toast?// He thought to himself. At that, Max strolled in, clad in his robe.

"Mornin" She said, not even a little sleepily.

"Hey." He replied. "Ready to go Elinor hunting?"

"Oh yeah." She replied, enthusiastically.

"OK." He said. "Let me get dressed and we'll head off."

"All right."



As they were walking out the door, Logan's phone rang.

"Cale" He said, picking up the phone.

"Ah Mr. Cale." Logan cringed at the sound of Bob King's voice.

"Hello Bob."

"I am just ringing to say that the police don't want people out looking for Elinor." He said, all too cheerily.

"Why?" Logan asked, not fooled by Bob's obvious lie.

"Ah, yes, well. Uh, they said it might jeopardise their investigation." Bob lied smugly.

Logan sighed. //I guess that he bribed the police not to find her.//

"OK Bob. Thanks for that." Logan hung up, sighing.

"Damn Logan. What's going on?" Max asked, concerned.

"He's bribed the police. Wouldn't want us to foil his plan now, would he?"

Max sighed. "Guess not. I say we go out anyway."

"I agree." Logan paused. "But we'll have to go tonight. If we're seen, we could get arrested and blamed for the kidnapping."

"OK." Max shrugged. "Wanna play chess?"



Bob drove up to the abandoned hairdressing salon. //Best place to hide a prisoner.// He thought to himself, grinning. //No one will ever guess.//

Max watched from the rooftop. //Got ya!// "Logan?" She called quietly. "Logan?" Max looked around quickly. //Where is he? He was right behind me!//

As she turned around, Max saw a shape disappear over the edge of the building. She quickly ran towards it, looking down.

"What the…"



Hehe. I very rarely write cliffhangers. But hey.
