"Fred, are you sure this is the right place?" Nash asks as they get out of Fred's car and start to walk to the front door. "Nash, remember when I said that the Buchanans were rich, well I meant trump rich, in other words, they are loaded!" Fred said.
"Well, I wasn't expecting this kind of rich," Nash said as they go to the front door. Nash knocks on the door. A few seconds later, the door is opened. "Can I help you?" a man asks.
"Yeah, I was wondering if you could tell me if a Tess, I mean a Jessica Buchanan lives here?" Nash asks.
"How do you know Jessica?" the man asks.
"Well, you see, I think I may have met her in New York and…" Nash starts to say but is interupted. "Wait you've seen her, when, where is she?" the man asks.
"So, she is not here?" Nash asks.
"Kevin, who is at the door?" Viki asks as she comes up behind her son. "Mom, this guy claims he has seen Jessica in NY," Kevin says.
"You've seen Jessica?" Viki says.
"I think I have. Do you have a picture of her?" Nash asks.
"Yes come in, please," Viki says as she goes into the living room and grabs a picture of Jessica. Kevin, Nash and Fred follow. "This was taken this year, it's of Jessica and Natalie," Viki says. "Tess," Nash murmurs as he looks at Jessica's picture.
"So, you have seen her?" Kevin asks.
"Yeah, but does Jessica have another sister?" Nash asks.
"No, what is your name by the way?" Viki asks.
"I'm Nash, Nash Brennan and this is my friend Fred," Nash says as he hands the picture back to Vicki, reeling by the fact that Tess and Jessica were one and the same. "Please, can you tell me where to find her?" Viki asks.
"She was with me last week. We were going to meet up after my meeting and then she never showed," Nash says.
"That doesn't sound like Jessica," Kevin says.
"So you have heard nothing from her?" Viki asks.
"No, but I think I know who to start looking for answers from," Nash says.
"Who?" Kevin asks.
"This guy that Tess-Jessica was running from, Todd Manning," Nash says.
"Todd?" Vicki asks
"Did I hear my named called?" Todd asks from the doorway, as Nash and Fred turn. "You! I was hoping I would run into you again!" Todd says as he comes up to Nash and punches him to the ground. "Todd! Have you gone crazy, this man might help us find Jessica," Viki says.
"This guy was the one who kept me from bringing Jessica home. He's also the reason I was arrested," Todd says as Nash starts to get up but is held back by Fred. "Oh well, there is a surprise, home sweet home to you, isn't it?" Kevin asks.
"That's enough Kevin," Viki says.
"Hold on buddy, cool it," Fred says.
"Where is she? What did you do to her? I swear if you laid one finger on her I will…" Nash says.
"You'll what, finger me this time for jaywalking?" Todd asks.
"Where is she?" Nash asks.
"I don't know, you made it so I could not find her," Todd said.
"I don't believe you, let go of me Fred!" Nash says.
"Please stop it, look, if Todd says he doesn't know where she is then I believe him," Viki said.
"I'm going to call Antonio and asks him if he's seen her," Kevin says.
"Give him my regards," Todd says.
"Antonio, he lives in Llanview?" Nash asks as he remembers the braclet that he saw on Jessica, as Fred lets his friend go. "Yes, do you know him too?" Viki asks.
"No, I've never met him," Nash says.
"Well, Antonio has not seen her either so now what?" Kevin asks.
"Well, if you say Todd doesn't have her, where would she go?" Nash asks.
"I don't know, but we have to find her now. I feel like there is a dark cloud hovering over us at this moment," Viki says as she sits down, the worry for her daughter clearly on her face.
At that very moment, somewhere else:
"You can't keep me here!" Tess yells as she pounds on the door trying to get out. After trying to get out of the room where she was being held prisoner, she collapses due to exhaustion.
