Author's note: I will be working on The Missing before I starting on Attack and Disappear and My son, Templeton.

After five days, they finally arrived in New York. Murdock stepped down from the wagon. B.A. told Murdock to checked into the hotel. Murdock nodded. B.A. took the wagon and the horses around the back of the building, stepped down from the wagon, took the rein off the horses then go behind the wagon, got two saddles out of the wagon and then put the saddles on the horses then took the horses around the building then tied the horses' rein on the post right front of the hotel, then walked in the hotel and saw Murdock already checked them both in.

B.A. walked up to the clerk and asked him, "Where can I find Mrs. Becker?"

"Mrs. Becker is at twenty miles from here and you can't miss it," Clerk answered. "What do you want from her?"

"I got business to take care of," B.A. said.

"Okay."

B.A. and Murdock walked out of the hotel and got on their horses and then left town. Twenty minutes later, they saw the house, not just any house. They can't believe how big it was, so they walked up to the house. B.A. knocked on the door. Butler answered.

"What can I do for you?" Butler asked.

"We here to see Mrs. Becker," B.A. replied.

"All right. Wait here in the parlor."

They wait in the parlor while Butler went into the office to get Mr. Becker.

"Sir, you got men in the parlor want to speak to Mrs. Becker," Butler said.

"Okay, sent them in," Mr. Becker replied.

Butler walked out and told them, "Go right ahead."

B.A. and Murdock walked into the room and saw the man behind the desk.

"What can I do for you, gentleman?" Mr. Becker asked.

"We would like to talk to Mrs. Becker," B.A. answered.

"She's not here. She visits her sister up in Maine," Mr. Becker lied.

"Okay. Did she say anything when she will be back?" Murdock asked.

"No, she didn't. Anything else?"

"No. We sorry we waste your time," Murdock said. "Don't worry we know the way out."

"Okay."

Murdock and B.A. walked out of the house and left the house to head towards the hotel, Unknown to them, maid watches them leave so she went back to the room, get the boy packed. Tonight, she will leave the house with the toddler and hope they don't leave right away.

*Back to the hotel.*

Murdock and B.A. walked in the room. Murdock tried to figure it out how to rescue the boy without the guards see them.

"Why did you asked him about the boy?" B.A. asked.

"Let him get suspicion?" Murdock answered. "I don't think so."

"You knew he's lying about Samantha."

"Yes. I don't think she visit her sister if she has one. Something bad happened to her."

"Okay. What are we going to do?" B.A. asked.

"I guess we just have to wait and figure it out how to rescue Templeton," Murdock replied.

"I guess we wait."

*Back to the house.*

The maid packed up Templeton's clothes. She will wait until Mr. Becker goes to bed so she can escape and then goes to town to see the men that she just saw. She knew they were here for the toddler.

Later that night, She heard Mr. Becker closed his bedroom door. She picked up Templeton and the bags and then walked out of the bedroom, she tiptoes down the hall quietly and walked down the stairs and then opened the door quietly and close the door. She heads towards the barn, put the toddler and the bags in the carriage outside the barn then walked inside the barn to get the horse. She brings the horse and put in the front of the carriage and then hook it up, she got on it and left the house.

A few minutes later, Ms. Harris had arrived in town, drive behind the building and stepped down from the carriage. She picked up Templeton and the bags, walked towards the door and then opened the door then walked into the room. She put Templeton and the bags down by the stairs she sneaks down the hall and looked at the front desk to see if the desk clerk is still at the desk, so she walked to the front of the desk and looked at the register book and saw two men's names on the book and she's wondering if these men are the same one at the house.

She walked back to the end of the hall, picked up the boy and the bags and then walked upstairs, walked down the hall and saw the same number that she saw at the front desk. She knocked on the door and wait.

Murdock opened the door and saw a woman and a sleeping toddler, "How can I help you?"

"Samantha wrote Mr. Smith about Templeton and come get him," Ms. Harris said.

"Yes, Hannibal got the letter and want us to get him," Murdock replied.

"Okay. This is Templeton Smith. He is two and a half years old," Ms. Harris handed Templeton to Murdock. "And here is his bag."

"What about Samantha?" Murdock asked.

"I don't know where she is. He did something to her."

"How about we go get her?" B.A. asked.

"No! You have to leave real quick before he find out Templeton is gone," Ms. Harris said.

"Okay. What about you?" Murdock asked. "If he find out that you took Templeton away from him."

"He won't find out. I'll be leaving tonight," Ms. Harris answered. "I got to go."

"All right be careful," Murdock said.

Before she leaves and told them, "Go out of the back door. People in this town are working for him and leave town tonight or he will find out that Templeton is gone."

Murdock nodded his head. Ms. Harris left the hotel and never be seen again.

"B.A., did you unpacked our stuff?" Murdock asked.

"No. I'm going to get us checked out and then go get the horses then put it in the front of the wagon," B.A. explained. "I'll meet you in the back."

"Okay."

B.A. walked out of the room, went downstairs to checked him and Murdock out, paid the clerk and then walked outside to head towards the livery. He paid the man and then take the horses and put them in front of the wagon then got on it and he rode around the building and stopped in front of the hotel stepped down from the wagon. He walked up to the door and wait for Murdock to come down and meet him.

A few minutes later, Murdock opened the door and saw B.A. standing in front of the door. He gave the bags to B.A., they walked ober to the wagon B.A. put the bags in the wagon and Murdock hands Templeton to B.A. then got on the wagon and then B.A. hand Templeton to Murdock and he got on the wagon. They left town to heads towards Illinois to picked up B.A.'s mom and hope they get there before Mr. Becker know Templeton gone.
