"Are you happy now?" Jack demanded as he walked over to Mrs. Parkins. "Now both of your daughters are missing." He stormed off to his car with Sam right behind. "We have to post their pictures everywhere."
Sam nodded. "I'll call the news." She said.
Jack sighed. "People sometimes!" he muttered then drove off.

"So, we're now looking for both of the girls?" Danny asked. "You don't think she's coming back?"
"I don't think so," Jack said.
"We really need to know why they decided to leave." Martin said.
Danny looked over at Martin, of course they needed to find out why they left!
"I'm going to go talk with the dad again, unless you have something for me to do…" Sam said as she stood up.
"No, go ahead, Danny, go with her." Jack rubbed his forehead. "Did you find out anything else on her computer Martin?"
"Nope, only sites she visited were research sites and some game site."
"Okay…"
"Got something!" Vivian said as she walked into the room holding a piece of paper. "Mr. Parkins was arrested when he was nineteen for raping a thirteen year old girl, they couldn't pin it on him, so they let him go. I talked to a police officer who was working on the case then, he said everyone thought he did it, they just didn't have enough evidence."
"So you think the dad was sleeping with them? They decided to get away from it all?"
"I don't know, but it does sound suspicious." Vivian said.
Jack picked up his cell phone and called Sam and Danny and filled them in.

Sam knocked on the Parkins's door, Mrs. Parkins answered. "Yeah?" she asked, beginning to get a little worried. "Is something wrong? Did you find them?"
"Not yet," Sam said. "I need to talk to your husband."
"Why?" Mrs. Parkins demanded. "You've already asked him-"
"We have reason to believe he might have raped your daughters." Danny said.
Mrs. Parkins looked from both of them with tears in her eyes. "What? He would have never… no, he wouldn't, I know my husband! He's not like that!"
"Did he tell you what happened forty years ago?" Sam asked.
Mrs. Parkins looked down. "Yes, he said he didn't do it."
"And you believed it?" Danny asked.
"Yes." Mrs. Parkins said. "Of course I did! He's my husband!"
"We still need to talk to him." Sam said. "I'm sorry."
Mrs. Parkins looked down nervously. "He's… he's not here right now, he left thirty minutes ago, he was trying to find the girls."
Sam turned to Danny, then back to Mrs. Parkins. "Do you have any idea where he went?"
"No," Mrs. Parkins said, on the verge of tears.
"Mrs. Parkins, you girls may be in serious danger if he finds them first."
"I don't know!" she shouted. "If I did-"
"What? If you knew what would you do?" Danny asked.
"Nothing." She answered quickly. "I'm a nervous wreck, okay? I… I need my girls back, please."
"We're trying out best, but there isn't a big chance of finding them." Sam said. "If you know something… we need to know it."
Mrs. Parkins hesitated. "I- goodbye." She shut the door in their faces.
Sam turned to Danny and sighed.

FBI"Jack!" Martin said rushing into the room. "A-" he stopped as Sam and Danny walked in, he waited for them to come into hearing range before he continued. "A cab driver just called, he drove a girl matching Annie's description to a place called 'Lone Pine' about fifty miles away, he came home and saw her on the news."
"Lone Pine?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, she told him to pull off to the side of the rode and let him out, while she was paying him, he saw another hundred dollar bill."
"She knows where she's going." Jack said.
"Yeah, that's what the cab driver said, she seemed to know exactly where she was going." Martin said, he stuffed his hands in his pockets.
"We need to know if they visited any place near or in Lone Pine." Jack said.
"I'll give Mrs. Parkins a call." Martin said as he headed to his desk.
Jack nodded. "Samantha, check the hotel rooms, make sure they haven't checked in to anyplace. Danny, why don't we drive out there and ask around, it's not a big town."
Danny nodded and put his jacket back on. "Okay."
