Brring! Steed's car phone rang. Mrs. Peel raised her eyebrow. "When did you get a car phone," she asked, suspiciously.

"Week before last," he answered flippantly. "Had to keep up with you." He flashed a charmingly handsome smile, and jumped into his Bentley. Mrs. Peel did the same. Now it was Steed's turn to raise an eyebrow. Mrs. Peel smiled back at him.

"What was the call about," she questioned, averting Steed's inevitable remark about the jump.

Steed smiled, seeing her tactic, then his smile faded as he remembered the message he had been given. "Another person has gone missing. This time, it was a young child. A five-year-old girl, named Susanna Starr. She was last seen in front of her town house, and then was seen walking away with a middle-aged man."

Mrs. Peel sighed deeply. "Let's see if we can find anything."

Steed's car pulled up in front of Susie's house. He and Mrs. Peel quickly jumped out, and started searching around.

"Steed," Mrs. Peel called, coming out from behind the dumpster. She looked sick. "I've found her," she stated, emotionless.

Steed and Mrs. Peel quickly worked to cordon off the area. As they were doing this, A young man, in his twenties, dressed rather conservatively walked up.

"Can I do anything to help you," he asked.

Mrs. Peel looked over at him. "What's your name?"

"James Thompson," the young man eagerly replied. "I'm a doctor."

Steed looked confused, or perhaps that was jealousy. "You're a doctor? How old are you?"

"Twenty-four."

"So how did you get through medical school so quickly," Steed asked suspiciously.

"I was a child prodigy," the youthful stranger quickly replied.

"Can we reach you if we need to ask you anything else," Mrs. Peel asked, diverting Steed's attention from his target.

"Sure thing. Here's my number. You're the bee's knees." The man ran off grinning widely.

"The bee's knees," Steed questioned, totally disgusted.

"It was an expression used in the twenties," Mrs. Peel replied thoughtfully as she watched Mr. Thompson run away.
