Forehill International School
1:45 PM
Sam and Martin entered the school's library to go and meet with Gladys Hammer. "Miss Gladys Hammer?" Sam asked to the girl with glasses and reading the morning's newspaper. "Yes? Who're you?" Gladys asked and looked Sam from head to foot. "I'm Agent Samantha Spades and this is Agent Martin Fritzgerald. We're just going to ask some few questions regarding Ritauro Higaki or Eunice." Sam flashed her badge to the girl as well as Martin. "Please, take a sit." Gladys shoved them to the nearest couch. "What about her?" Gladys asked. "We were informed that you refused to befriend her. Is that true?" Sam asked directly. "Yeah." Gladys replied frankly. "Why?" Sam added. "It is because I don't want to. Its none of your business actually. Its none of anybody's business." Gladys said. "Well, if you want to help solve the case immediately, please do cooperate with us." Sam said frustratingly. "The thing Agent Spade is…Well, if you think I've got to do with her disappearance, I tell you now, I can't do such thing as that. I may not like her but I'm not a kidnapper." Gladys said. "How did you know she was kidnapped?" Martin interrupted looking suspiciously. "Its in every corner's rumors. Poor kid, she's such a sweetheart for everyone." The bell rang that meant of the end of the break. "I've got to go now. I still have classes." Gladys stood up and Sam and Martin followed her. "If there are still questions you'd like to ask, I'm free after class." Gladys said. "Well, that's all we needed. Thanks for the help." Sam said then walked out without looking at her and smiling. The two went out of the library then saw Gladys took a curve heading for the next floor. "She's like that, you know. That's why nobody likes to be her friend." A girl in sweatshirt said to Sam and Martin. "Sorry. You are?" Sam asked the girl. "Hannah Jews." The girl replied. "Hannah. Hi. What did you say earlier?" Sam asked again. "She doesn't have any friends. But some knows that she and Ralph had a secret relationship for a couple of months before Ralph started going out with Eunice." Hannah said. Sam looked at Martin. "That's why." Sam smiled over Martin. "Thank you Hannah." Martin said. "Pleasure to help." Hannah then left. "Revenge is sweet." Sam mumbled.

"Johnson…" Vivian answered her cell phone. "Relax Elen. It would be alright. Okay, I'll be coming over there. Is still there anything that the kidnapper said?" Vivian says. "Okay. Just stay there Elen and be calm. We're going to get your daughter." Vivian then hang up. She stormed out of the office then dialed Jack's number.
Taxi's Garage Shop
2:00 PM
"Alright Viv. We'll be there. Thanks." Jack hang up his phone and turned to face the operator of the taxies. "Here's the log book I keep in records. Here are all the drivers who drove their taxis during this date and 2 drivers matches the date and time you said." The operator handed the log book to Jack. Danny stared at the operator to examine his good looks. "Danny, copy this down and we'll search for them. Viv called to tell me that the kidnapper called Ritauro's mother. We'll meet her there." Jack said. Danny did what he was told. After, the two drove to the Higaki's residence to find out what the kidnapper wants.
Higaki Residence
2:45 PM
Jack and Danny entered the house as Martin opened the door for them. Sam and Martin also arrived at the house as soon as Vivian called them to inform them of the latest buzz. "Are we late?" Danny whispered to Martin. Martin smiled and shook his head. Vivian was sitting beside Elen as Elen tries to speak clearly with tears running down her cheeks and told everyone what the kidnapper said. Sam was sitting opposite to the two and Martin sat beside her. Jack stood by the empty fire place and Danny stood near the wall. Everyone was so eager to listen.
"Mrs. Higaki, we found out possible matches of the kidnapper. We'll try to check on them. If ever the kidnapper calls again, just talk to them and know what they really want. Viv and Danny will set up a track record of the phone calls coming in, so we can also hear what the kidnapper wants. Don't let them feel that you've been guarded. But if ever they already know, just don't offend them or they might hurt your daughter. Okay?" Jack said to Elen. Elen couldn't speak anymore so she just listened and shook her head. "Sam and Martin, we'll split the task of finding and checking these guys. Let's go individual search. Here are yours." Jack gave them the names and the addresses of the possible cab drivers that he and Danny just got from the Taxi Garage earlier. The three went on to their search as Danny calls the quarters to bring the track record equipment needed to the residence.

"Jack, he's not our guy." Martin said as he calls Jack after inquiring the man he has to check. "Okay. I'll go meet Sam." Martin clicked off his phone then once again looked at the house of the man. Jack, on the other hand, hasn't been too lucky because the man he chose to check on isn't the right one. He hopes Sam finds it. Sam had already inquired and questioned the man she was given a task off. The man denies but she's got the suspicion already. She was never wrong of her suspicions. She thanked the man and exited the house but then called Jack and Martin to inform them of her suspicion and needed them to give her a back up. She stayed in her car and watched the surroundings and if the man went out of his house. Not too long, Martin and Jack came and the three went to the man's house again. But the man had already left. He passed through the back door. From there, they have now a lead as to where they could find Eunice.

"The kidnapper called again. We've got the place. Let's get her out there safely." Jack commanded his team. Sam, Martin and Danny together with Jack brushed their way out to the place they tracked the kidnapper.
Container Van
5:00 PM
Jack signals Danny to check the perimeter then signals Martin to cover him. Sam, Martin and Jack alternated their positions as they get closer to the van. As they now reached the van, Sam and Martin pointed their guns ahead of them, ready for a shoot out. Jack puts his gun back to his holster then slowly opens the back door of the car. Sam then moves to check the front part of the car. No one was there. The van is empty. "It's a trap." Jack said pissed off. The four went to search the perimeter to find any clues but when they haven't found any, they decided to go back to the headquarters.
Higaki Residence
6:25 PM
The phone rings. Vivian with the man operating the track record device signals Elen to pick the up the phone. "Do you think I'm too ignorant and idiotic not to know that this phone call is tracked down? Well, guess what? Continue tracking me down. If you can. If you find me, then lucky for all of you. But if you won't, in an hour, I will kill this poor Japanese kid. "No! Please!" Elen screamed. The call had ended. But they tracked the place where it came from. Vivian informed the rest of the team then rushed to Elen to comfort her.
