Charlotte was spending time with her uncle Ryan Rivera for the day, because everyone else was working for the moment.

First they went to watch a volleyball game-between the lifeguards and the police officers at the beach.

Then went to the grocery store, dropped the things off at the house.

Ryan phone rings. "Hello"answered Ryan.

Charlotte looked up from getting something out of the fridge.

"Charlotte, gotta drop you off at the task force headquarters. I'm needed"answered Ryan.

15 minutes later Charlotte was dropped off at the task force headquarters.

Ryan took off.

Charlotte didn't go into the task force headquarters, headed towards the local dance studio-private.

6 hrs later

Ryan Rivera returns to the task force headquarters.

"Officer Rivera, have you seen Charlotte?"answered Mateo a friend of Carlos and TK.

Ryan confused in what was going on. "I dropped Charlotte off here at the task force headquarters 6 hrs ago. Was called in to help with another situation"answered Ryan.

"Well Charlotte isn't here, so tell me how you could lose my daughter"snapped Eddie Diaz angrily.

"Never showed up at the park for lunch either"answered Marjani

"She not answering her phone either"answered Evan pointing it out.

"Officer Rivera, be the best you stay away from Charlotte for the time being"answered Eddie at once.

Ryan Rivera. "My sister never told me about having a kid to begin with"answered Ryan.

Melina Wilcox came walking into the station. "Guys, Charlotte is fine"answered Melina.

"How would you know that my niece is fine?"asked Evan and Ryan at once.

45 minutes later

Everyone showed up where Charlotte was located at.

"Man, it's locked"exclaimed TK Strands

"How are we gonna get to Charlotte?"asked Ryan.

"How do we know even if Charlotte is here in the first place?"asked Mateo.

Melina shakes her head. "Charlotte is here guys, Hayden Carson spilled the beans about this private property"answered Melina.

"Who owns this private property?"asked Carlos Reyes.

"Task Force Headquarters, owned by Crystal McGarrett"answered Melina Wilcox.

30 minutes later

Charlotte heard voices coming into the studio.

"Charlotte, why didn't you go into the task force headquarters?"answered Ryan Rivera.

"We were so worried about you"answered Mateo.

Charlotte was throwing several books at them.

"Hey"answered Carlos.

"Why! Are you acting like this?"asked Eddie.

TK saw Charlotte tense a bit.

"Stay away"answered Charlotte backing away from them.

Racing out of the studio.

4 days later, same thing happen again.

"Charlotte, here drink this"answered Carla.

Charlotte takes the drink from Carla, doesn't drink it through.

Christopher was coming from his bedroom, when he saw Charlotte raced out of the house.

Carla sighs to herself. "We better call your dads"answered Carla.

Evan takes the call, because Eddie was in the shower at the firehouse.

He texts TK Strands and Eddie Reyes who were just getting off from work.

"Carla called, saying that Charlotte is missing again"answered Evan.

Eddie stepping out of the showers, saw Evan hanging up the phone. "Did Maddie call for something?"asked Eddie.

Evan turns around. "Carla called, Charlotte raced out of the house. Just called Carlos and TK-they were getting off of shift of 14 hrs now"answered Evan.

Eddie sits down. "I don't know what is going on with Charlotte, she will not talked to anyone in what happen at the raid"answered Eddie.

"Well we have to do something?"asked Evan.

Eddie is thinking to himself for a moment. "I never had to spank Christopher, just grounded him"answered Eddie.

"Not sure TK and Carlos might not go with that idea"answered Evan pointing it out.

TK Strands groans after getting the call from Evan that Charlotte went missing again. He just wants to takes a warm shower at the house.

Carlos looked at TK in the car. "Is something wrong?"answered Carlos.

"Evan called me, Charlotte went missing again"answered TK groaning.

1 hr later

"Charlotte Rivera Diaz, you have some explaining to do"answered Eddie he's angry at his daughter raced out of the house again. without telling anyone where she was heading off too.

Charlotte at first doesn't say anything to Eddie Diaz.

"You are grounded to the firehouse, unless Evan and I aren't working. Lets go"answered Eddie.

"I need to buy this"answered Charlotte.

"No, You are grounded"answered Eddie grabbing Charlotte by the wrist.

Evan was sitting in the car.

"TK and Carlos are at home, both waiting on you"answered Evan.
