Jack drove like a madman to Charlie's house, coming to a screeching halt outside. The four friends scrambled from the car and ran to the house. Jack pounded on the door and Charlie's dad came out.
"What do you want ?" he asked.
"We want to know where that son of your's is," Chloe said coming forward.
"Why what has he done ?" Mr Pace asked.
"He's kidnapped Claire's baby. He came to the hospital and took the baby and we can't find him," Seann said.
"He's bloody done what !" Charlie's dad seemed to pale considerably.
"Any idea where he could have gone ?" Kate asked him and he shook his head.
"None. He said this morning that he was going out and that was it,"
"Well now what are we gonna do ? This was our only lead and I'm not sitting around and waiting for the police," Jack said his anger threatening to take over him.
"We need to find him and quickly," Seann said.
"He's been calling his aunt Clara a lot this week, talking in secret and what not. Maybe he's gone there," Mr Pace said looking hopeful.
"His aunt lives in Iowa, dosn't she ?" Chloe said and he nodded.
"Let's go," Seann said and they turned to go.
"Wait ! I'll come with you," Mr Pace said.
"No your family's caused quite enough trouble," Jack said and they piled into the car, leaving Mr Pace in a fog of dust.
"We need to tell Claire and the other's where we're going and we need supplies like money and clothes," Kate said to the other's.
"Right. We'll make a quick stop to our houses and then we're going to Iowa," Jack said and he sharply turned.
"I'll talk to my mom and tell her where I'm going. I'll need her to get in touch with Mr Eko too," Chloe said.
"Why Mr Eko ?" Seann asked. The other's exchanged glances.
"Em Charlie drugged Shannon and we think she was raped," Kate said quickly.
"WHAT !" Seann exploded his head nearly hitting the roof of the car.
"Don't worry man. We'll kill Charlie when we get there," Jack smirked humorlessly. He pulled up in front of his house and he and Kate went inside, coming back out ten minute's later with two cases. They rammed them into the trunk and got back into the car.
"Right to mine then," Chloe said and Jack drove them to the giant hotel on the edge of town. A while later they came to Mandin Hotel and Chloe and Seann got out.
"Don't be long," Kate said and they gave her a thumb's up. Around fifteen minute's later Chloe came running out with a case, followed by Seann. They got inside the car and Chloe looked flushed.
"You okay ?" Jack asked.
"Yeah my mom say's to be careful and she'll get in touch with Mr Eko as soon as she can," Chloe said as Jack started the car.
"Good. Well then to Iowa I guess," Kate said and they set off.
Three hour's later they weren't even a quarter of the way there and they were getting tired. "How long did you say it would take ?" Kate asked Jack.
"Around two maybe three day's," he sighed.
"How about we stop and get some food ?" Seann said and they agreed highly, pulling over to a diner. They locked the car and entered the warm atmosphere of the diner, taking a seat next to the window.
"So we'll have to sleep in the car tonight," Chloe said.
"Yeah, we should be okay. It's not too cramped so we'll be able to stretch," Jack said and signalled for a waitress to come over. They placed their order's and they were once again left alone.
"I just thought of something. How our we gonna get the baby back ? What if Charlie won't let us take him ?" Seann asked.
"Well he stole the baby. We can steal it back," Chloe said and Jack nodded.
"But only if it's nessicary," he said and they all nodded.
"We'd heve more normality in our live's if we lived with the Simpson's," Kate smiled and Jack chuckled.
"Yeah," he smiled and placed a kiss on her forehead. Their food was delivered to them and they ate happily, knowing that soon they would be on the road again and they had no idea what they were going to find.
A/N: ROADTRIP ROADTRIP Heh heh. Is Charlie really at his aunt's ? Will they ever get the baby back ? And will there be smut in the next chapter. Just wait and see.
