Chapter Three

Lucas looked around the abandoned home that they staying in. It was small, and dark. The wind blew through the broken windows, which made the room cold.

There were no furniture, no blankets, nothing. Just four walls and a broken ceiling.

He looked at the girl next to him. She had beautiful blondish-brown hair and the most beautiful green-blue eyes, her skin was fair, and she was slim.

He looked at their clothing, they were both in jeans. He only had one t-shirt; the other was on the girl next to him.

Lucas shivered again as a cold wind entered the room. But he knew that they couldn't leave, they were trapped. Lucas began to wonder how quickly things turned so bad.

He was thinking so hard that he didn't see the teenager girl looking at him.

She smiled when she saw the distant look in his eyes.

"Lucas, you got to stop thinking so much," She teased.

Lucas jumped when he heard her soft voice. He looked into her.

"While, that's what I get paid to do," he joked back.

"I'm sorry Lucas, I shouldn't have tried to run," she said sadly.

Lucas could see that she was truly sad.

"Angel, it wasn't your fault, I don't blame you, I never did," he said.

Angel looked into Lucas's eyes; she could see that he was telling the truth.

"So, Mr. Clever, why don't you use your brain and find us a way out of this mess!" she ordered.

"I missed you Angel, I really did," Lucas said quietly.

Angel nodded.

Meanwhile…

The crew of SeaQuest was hard at working, trying to find their missing crew member.

Commander Ford was busy making sure that the work was split evenly, so the work would go by faster.

Katie was working on the SeaQuest navigations, making sure that when they finally leave that the SeaQuest would be able to move without trouble. Tim was busy trying to make contact with Lawrence Wolenczak, but the sectary kept telling him to call back.

Kirsten was trying to get a list of all patients in the Mental Institute, but every time she tried she would be stopped.

Ben and Miguel had just returned.

Nathan looked at the two, hoping that they would have answers.

"Well, do you have anything?" he asked.

Everyone stopped working and turned their attention to the two.

Ben looked uneasy under the Captain's glare; Miguel didn't know where to start.

"Well, um… we searched the whole place, sir, and well, Lucas never went back to the hotel, his bags were still packed, sir," Miguel answered.

Nathan sat down heavily onto his chair.

"We searched his bag, Sir, there wasn't anything really useful, just his laptop, but we don't know his password," Ben said.

Nathan nodded. No one would be able to break into the laptop, not without Lucas's skills.

"Would anyone know what his password would be?" Kirsten asked.

"You know Lucas, he didn't really speak about himself, and he wouldn't give his passwords away," Ben replied.

Katie nodded.

"What can we do now, sir?" Miguel asked.

Everyone looked at Nathan, hoping that he would have some idea on what to do.

"We get hold of Lawrence, and get a list of those patients' names," Nathan answered.

Kirsten nodded, and then turned back to her screen.

The senior crew wanted to laugh when the silence was broken by Kirsten's conversation.

"I don't care, I want that list now!" she warned.

Nathan was glad that he wasn't the person on the other side of the screen.

While Kirsten was still arguing, Ford had given Miguel work, so that at least the SeaQuest would work. Ben, on the other hand, was given a list of all the equipment that they still needed.

Ben was upset that he couldn't help with the search, but he knew that he still had a job to do.

After a few hours, the SeaQuest was filled by a scream of happiness.

"YES!" Kirsten shouted in joy.

Everyone stopped working and turned their attention to the very happy Kirsten.

Nathan jumped out of his chair and went closer to her.

"What?" he asked.

"I go the list, and I did a quick scan of the names, and guess who happens to be there?" she asked.

Everyone came closer, eager to hear the good news.

"Who?" Nathan asked.

"Angela Wolenczak," she answered with a smile.

"Wolenczak!" Katie gasped.

"Yes, Lucas's sister," Kirsten filled them in.

"Lucas has a sister?" Tim asked in surprise.

"And that's who he went to visit, but where is he?" Nathan asked.

"Do you know why Angela was in the nut house?" Ben asked.

Kirsten frowned at Ben.

"Mr. Krieg, it's called a Mental Institute, not a 'Nut' house!" she warned him.

Ben looked a little bit sheepish as he nodded.

"I don't have her records, not yet anyway," Kirsten replied.

Nathan smiled.

"Mr. O'Neil, please call Mrs. Mack," Nathan ordered.

Tim nodded his head, as he turned to call.

"I can't stand that woman," Kirsten said.

"I don't think anyone does," Ben joked.

They went silent when Nathan frowned at them; they quickly turned their attention to the screen as Mrs. Mack's form appeared.

"Oh, no, not you again!" she cursed.

"And a hello to you to," Kirsten whispered under her breath.

"Mrs. Mack, I want all information on an Angela Wolenczak," Nathan spoke.

Mrs. Mack smiled.

"I see that you got the list, I didn't think so soon. My, you navy people are smart," She mocked.

Everyone glared at Mrs. Mack.

"You don't need to insult us, Mrs. Mack," Nathan said angrily.

"Then stop phoning me. Look, I can't give you any information on the Wolenczaks, so I can't help you. Not without Lawrence's permission. When you get the permission, you will get the information," she explained.

"Can you at least allow me to speak to Angela?" Nathan asked.

"Sorry but I can't," she answered.

"Why not? It's not like we need anything to speak to a person?" Kirsten asked.

"I can't because she escaped," she replied.

"When was that?" Nathan asked.

"The last time I saw Lucas," she replied.

"The last day that you saw them, did you notice anything different?" Kirsten asked.

"Yes, Lucas kept on looking behind him, like he was being followed. When they went outside, they kept to the shadows, as if hiding. When ever they talked they would whisper, they made sure no one could hear them," Mrs. Mack answered.

"Did you see anyone?" Ford asked.

"No, no one out the ordinary," she replied.

"How did Angela escape?" Ben asked.

"We don't know, there was a fire in the other room, when we got back, they were gone," she said.

"A fire? Was it natural or on purpose?" Nathan asked.

"It was in the record room, and it was set up," Mrs. Mack replied.

"Did you call the police?" Kirsten asked.

"No, I called the Wolenczak family, they gave me orders not to tell them," she said.

"What!" Kirsten gasped.

Mrs. Mack just rolled her eyes.

"Look, I don't like it. But I do what I'm told. Call me when you get the permission," she said.

Nathan nodded.

"And please, find them," she said softly as she disconnected the call.

Everyone looked up in surprise when they heard Mrs. Mack's last reply.

"Did I hear right? Did she just tell us to find them, and did she just use the words please?" Ben joked.

Katie smiled at Ben; he always used his weird sense of humour to lighten up the situation.

"Alright, now we are getting somewhere, we now know who Lucas was seeing, and that they are both missing," Kirsten said happily.

"Yes, but where are they, and who set the fire in the record room, and who is after them?" Ford asked.

"That's what we are going to find out. Mr. O'Neil, phone Lawrence again, and tell that sectary that I don't care if he is in a meeting. If he doesn't answer the call I am going to going to take action!" Nathan threatened.

========

I know- I have this thing with fires. Don't ask me why. The good news is that you now know who the teenage girl is, and things are starting to come into place. Oh, and I think I saw a story, in the summary place, that Lucas has a sister- I really didn't mean any similarities, so if there was anything like that, I'm sorry.

Till next time,
