It was dark by the time Jason and Randall found the address. It was the only house going down a long dirt road. The dirt was dry. Jason drove down it a ways and stopped his car on a driveway that entered a corn field. He and Randall proceeded to walk from there.

When they got closer to the house, Jason said quietly, "You go scout the perimeter, Randall. See if you can see Jo in any windows."

"Got it." Randall replied. He got down on all eights and crept up to the house. He raised himself up to look in all the windows. He didn't see her.

There was also a second story. He climbed up the wall to see in upstairs. She wasn't up there either. Randall came back down and got back to Jason.

"I didn't see her anywhere." He said.

"She could be in the basement then. Or somewhere else. I'm going to get their attention. You go to the house and be ready to enter unseen." Jason ordered. "You check the inside. She might still be in there."

Randall nodded. He did as he was told.

Jason went back to the car and drove up a little more. Then he got on his radio and broadcasted it to sound.

"Quentin! Dr. Alex Quentin! Where is the little girl you kidnapped?" Jason demanded.

Randall was up by the house, invisible.

Inside, Alex and Johnny were having some dinner when they heard the dispatch voice. It could only be the police who had a sound system in their car like that.

"Cops shouldn't be here. They don't know I'm here." Quentin said.

"Someone sure does." John said.

"Where is the girl, Quentin? I know you're there. Your car is here and I have the description of the car you kidnapped her in. Give up or I come in firing!" Jason warned.

"Oh, he will, will he?" John said. He went to go grab his gun.

"Quentin! What's it going to be? Where's the girl?! I'm not going to ask again!" Jason yelled angrily.

Quentin meant no harm to the kid, but he got a loudspeaker and went outside on the porch, with one hand up.

"The girl is here! She's unharmed, but where's my lizard? That was the ransom demand." Quentin said.

"Give me the girl and you can have the lizard." Jason said.

Randall snuck in the doorway and went to search every part of the house. He didn't find her on the upper floors, but then, there was the basement, but there was one thing, where was the door that led to the basement?

He went back downstairs and opened every door he could find, and found one that was in the living room that led to a downstairs area. There was a light on down there. Randall went down the stairs and he found Jo, tied to a chair.

"Jo!" He whispered.

Jo snapped up. "Randall!"

"Shh! I'm getting you out of here." He said and he began undoing the knot of ropes. "Did they hurt you?"

"No, just tied me up."

The rope was tight, but using his fingers carefully, he freed her. She hugged him. "Time for a reunion later, Kid. Now let's go."

Together, they crept up the stairs, and out of the basement, into the living room. They were going to go out the back door, but then, Jo cried out in surprise when John just grabbed her.

"Where do you think you're going?!" He demanded.

"Hey Alex! Look who I caught trying to escape." John mocked.

"Hold on, copper." Quentin said. He went back inside.

"So, you were trying to escape. As soon as I get my ransom, I'll let you go."

Jo struggled, but then Quentin grabbed her and took her to the door. "She's right here, Copper! Give me my lizard!"

Randall didn't like this. He was now on the ceiling and he growled. Johnny heard him and he didn't know where it was coming from but behind him.

Randall jumped down from the ceiling onto John and he fell, making his gun go off.

The bullet went through the front door and into Quentin's right leg.

"AHH!" Quentin screamed in pain and he fell onto the porch, taking Jo with him.

Jason ran up to the house. This was his best chance.

"Put your hands up!" Jason screamed at the downed Quentin.

Jo began getting up. She ran to him. She hugged him, and he patted her, but then he put the cuffs on Quentin. Then Jason set about making a tourniquet to stop the blood flow on Quentin's leg. Then he took him to the car and wrapped it with a bandage before heading back.

Inside, Randall was dealing with the other man.

He kept on falling over and he could hear evil laughing, and he didn't know who it was.

"Where are you?! Who are you?!" John was shouting in fear. He had his gun out in front of him.

Randall knew he was risking a lot to face this man with a gun, but he couldn't see him.

John tried to make a run for the door, but he got tripped again, but this time, the barrel of the gun managed to hit Randall in the face, making him fall from the ceiling, making him appear to the man.

John saw the giant lizard. This was what his friend wanted. He hurriedly got up and grabbed his gun.

"Hold it right there!" Jason shouted. He had his gun aimed on the man.

John held his hands up. Jason approached. "Hands behind your back!" Randall knew that Jason had it under control now.

He started to put his hands behind his back, but then, he grabbed his gun, a handgun, he shot at Jason. It missed him and hit the ceiling, and he punched Randall in the face. He got up and ran out the back way.

Jason went up to Randall. He was holding his nose.

"Are you alright, Randall?"

"Yes." Then he growled. "That guy is mine!" Randall got up and went after the man.

"I'll be right behind you."

He took Jo back to the house and he told her to stay there. He would be back for her.

John had run out into the pasture on his property.

Randall looked around in the dark, and under the full moon, he made out the man out in the field. He took off after him. He went under the fence on all eights and chased after him.

John saw the lizard chasing after him. He knew this was no ordinary lizard now. He could see why his friend had wanted him, but he didn't want to go to jail. He kept on running. He had another car in the barn and he would use it to get away.

Just before he got to the barn though, Randall caught up with him. "Oh no you don't!" Randall yelled as he came at the man.

John turned around to meet the lizard. He wasn't going to let the lizard catch him.

Randall got into position real fast and he made a leap at the man, and just as he made contact with him, the gun went off again.

There was a cry of pain as both of them went down and Randall rolled away from John, staying where he landed.

Jason was already on his way and he caught up. He found John on the ground, unconscious. Then he saw Randall a few inches away, laying on his left side.
