Dan walked into Dana's office, and sat down on her couch.
Dana was on the phone, discussing a contract negotiation, which she finished,
then looked at Dan.
"What's up Dan?" she asked.
"All right, before I continue, I want to tell you that what I'm about to say is
probably insane. I've already been told that, and I'm starting to believe it,
but I can't back down now. This morning I got a call and an email from Natalie's
captor. After I talked to him, I had Jeremy do some research. It turns out he
had some sort of link to that email so that he could call me as soon as I opened
it. He used some rip tracer, or IP or something, and we got a pretty good idea
of where it is," Dan explained.
"Great! Do you want to call the police?" Dana asked.
Dan remained silent.
After looking at him for a full minute., Dana finally understood.
"You're going after her yourself?" Dana asked.
"Dana, this person has drugged Natalie up, probably beat her, and abused her.
Frankly, I'm beyond rage. Our little Natalie doesn't deserve that. I have no
choice. I have a right to protect those that I love..." Dan said, trailing off.
"That's it, isn't it? You've fallen for Natalie?" Dana asked.
"...I don't know what I'm feeling. But either way, I have to do this," Dan said,
as he stood up.
"... Danny, I can't take losing anyone else. If you must do this, you better
bring her and yourself back. Got it?" Dana asked.
"I'll be ok, you know why?" Dan asked.
"Why?"
"Because I'm Dan Rydell, doer of all good things when it comes to women," Dan
said, smiling.
