The person who saw it all is none other than Nick Dean. Once he regain his composure he quickly run in and frantically looked for their teachers. He then saw their elementary teacher with their principal.
"Ms. Fowl! Principal Willoughby! " Nick yelled in panic while sweating.
"Nick, its also nice to see you again" Ms. Fowl said but then noticed the panic look at the teenager's face.
"What's wrong? " Ms. Fowl asked
"Betty, Cindy, and Libby.. Have.. Have been kidnapped!" Nick Dean said out loud
"What? Is this one of your pranks again Mr. Dean because this isn't a nice one" Principal Willougbhy said putting both hand on his hip in a manly way.
"No, no its not! I saw it all! with my two eyes! Go check the cctv cameras! I walked out to wait for my friend but then I saw them got taken" Nick exclaimed. Ms. Fowl and Principal willoughby looked at each other
"Trust me, I'll come with you" Nick said and the two nods their heads and went for the control room to check the cctv footage.

The others are clueless about what happened. Jimmy tried to have fun but somehow he can't completely. He is sitting down while drinking a punch, Sheen and Carl sat on each side of him.
"Man that black eye Cindy gave you is really bad" Sheen said and Jimmy grouned. He's occasionally putting the cold glass on his eye to reduce swelling.
"No need to remind me" He said with an eye roll and took a sip on his cup.
"Do you think Cindy is just fine, you did say something horrible about her" Carl confronted his friend
"What she gave me is even worse" Jimmy said pointing at his black eye. He already felt guilty and he do not need someone pointing it out to him.
"Well, carl got a point though. She did say sorry" Sheen said
"You made her go home and its our first high school dance" Carl said
"How do you even know if she went home? " Jimmy asked
"She texted me" Carl said showing him the message and Jimmy sighed.
"I screwed up" Jimmy said standing up and started walking away.
"Where are you going? " Sheen asked and Jimmy stopped and turned to look at his friends.
"I don't deserve to enjoy this party when I've ruined another person's excitement" Jimmy said
"Well, i did fight as well and my libby isn't here. I think we're all going home. " Sheen said
"Yeah" Carl said but before they could walk away.
"Attention to all students" Principal Willoughby said, everyone quietted down aand all the music are turned off. Everyone are confused as to why the principal and other school facilitators are looking panicked and worried. "Well, the news I will deliver to you all is really serious and its a concern... It seemed like three of our students by the name of Betty Belle Quinlan, Liberty Danielle Folfax and Cynthia Aurora Vortex are kidnapped" He continued and Jimmy's eyes widened and he started breathing hard.
"Libby" Sheen said getting teary eyed, Carl is already crying.
"No-no, that can't be true" Jimmy said trying to reassure himself
"Mr. Nicholas Dean saw what happened and Approached us. We checked the cctv that's located near the school's lawn and indeed confirmed his statement. I'll let you watch it" Principal Willoughby said and played the clip.
On screen..
Only the backs and heads are seen since its located above, but it is still clear that it is the girls. Suddenly a van stopped in front of the three. The two eaily put Libby and Betty to sleep
and drag them inside the van but Cindy tried to put up a fight but tripped on her heels and was caught off guard with the man putting a handkerchief on her mouth and fell unconscious. After that the van quickly sped away.
End clip...
Jimmy steady himself by holding the side of the bar table. He's breathing heavy and tears a falling. 'You never think anyway. Just get away from me, I can't believe I even call you my best friend, I don't want to see you ever again' He heard himself say 'I never want to see you ever again' That line though keep on repeating on his head. "I-I didn't mean that" He cried "I don't mean that" He repeated. Everything to the three are blocked out.
Sheen is hysterical and Carl is hugging him. "Calm down sheen, you'll see her again." Carl said
"But my libby, she's taken! I even have no idea" Sheen said.
"I really don't mean that" Jimmy repeated to make a point to himself. Sheen looked at Jimmy as he heard that, so does carl.
"Jimmy please, you two have to calm down" Carl said while crying. He went to Jimmy while pulling sheen and rubbed their backs.
"But Carl, Its my fault! If I didn't make that issue a big deal then this wouldn't have happened! " Jimmy exclaimed crying. Sheen sighed and wiped his tears with his sleeve.
"Jimmy don't blame yourself" Sheen said sniffing. "Its not your fault they got kidnapped." He added, he decided to stay strong for Libby and he knows Jimmy needs help as well, it wouldn't work if both of them are freaking out.
"Yeah Jimmy, its just a coincidence that you fight and bad thing happened. We will find them" Carl said
"Bu-but Cindy. I-I told her that I don't want to see her ever again and this has happened! I don't mean it this way Carl, I really don't mean it" He said then sobbed as he sat down on the stool once his knees got weak. Carl and Sheen looked at each other then at Jimmy. They never saw their friend sob this way. They both know that Cindy meant a lot to the boy genius because they are best friends, even more than best friends but he just won't admit it.
"Its not just her that got taken away you know right? " Sheen asked
"I-I know, I'm also worried about Libby and Betty. Its just, its just.. Cindy and I got into a fight and she just had to be taken away at the same time. I mean, I don't really want for her to get kidnapped, I should've been a better friend to her" He cried. The two then just smiled at him.
"You're a great friend Jimmy, you really are. You save her a lot of times, you understand her. Heck you even saw the goodness in her that we didn't see in the past and is able to reach for it. You're always there beside her whenever she's sad, happy, troubled or not. You always makes sure she's okay. You're so caring to her and we see it all. We know that Cindy knows it too, she can see it too" Carl said putting an arm around his amigo.
"I'm super worried about libby but I know that she wouldn't be too happy if I went crazy and start hating myself. I believe Cindy would also hate it if you're beating yourself up because of it" Sheen explained. Jimmy looked up at the two, his eyes are red and puffy.
"We will find her, we will find them" Carl said and Jimmy forced a smile and took a deep breath and try to stay calm.
"Sorry for being pathetic. I actually don't know what I'd do without you guys. My brain literally stopped functioning after watching the video. Thank you" Jimmy said smiling a bit
"Its alright amigop, we feel the same way" Carl said
(Transition: Fast Forward)
The parents of those who got kidnapped are called to the police station. Most of the prom goers continued the party but a few have went home early, that includes the gang. Jimmy is gazing out the window towards the opposite window. It feels so empty. 'It is empty' He thought as a tear fell but he quickly wiped it away. Then there's a knock on his door.
"Jimmy" Judy called
"Come in! " Jimmy yelled and Judy walked in together with hugh. Jimmy walked towards his bed and sat down and his parents sat on the opposite side of him. Judy then slowly put an ice pack on Jimmy's bruised eye, he slightly winced.
"I'm sorry that Cindy got kidnapped" Judy said smiling at his son with pity. "But who did this to you? " she asked
"Nothing, I just got elbowed by some fighting couple" He lied, he really don't want to get Cindy in trouble especially in this kind of situation where she is really in trouble.
"Next time you becareful" Judy said
"Yes mom" He answered then sighed.
"I know you miss Cindy, but all we could do now is pray for her to be alright. The police are doing their job, you have to stay strong... for her" Judy said giving his son as small smile
"Jimbo, they will find her okay? Your mom is right, All you could do right now is to stay strong for her. If you lose hope then that's the time when something bad will really happen because you stop believing that she'll be found" Hugh told he's son while rubbing his back.
"Two of my best friends and One of my friend got kidnapped. Its really hard" He said then looked out the window "But I'm more worried about her" He quietly added
"Jimmy, Cindy is such a strong girl we all know it. She'll be back in no time, you wouldn't even feel that she was gone" Judy said
"Yeah, you're right, Cindy is a brave, smart and strong girl." Jimmy responded with a small smile remembering her then just sighed. 'I'll save you Cindy, I'll save you all. Just wait for me. Once I found your coordinates I will go there. Stay strong Cindy. Please be alright' He thought 'I'll get you back' He added while smiling, his gaze upon the window.
