Steve saw the fear in Phineas and Ferb's eyes and he took advantage of it. He grabbed their forearms and dragged them out of the car.
Both boys struggled and tried to get out of the tight grip on their arms. They both tried to plant their feet in the ground to slow him down, but it wasn't working very well. Phineas groaned and then screamed, 'Help!' when the two boys realized they were losing.
In return Steve threw Phineas to the ground and before Phineas could stand up; Steve kicked him in his stomach and said, "Shut it kid, or I'll pull my gun!"
Phineas clutched his stomach and worriedly looked up. Steve smirked when he saw the young boy in pain and grabbed his arm once more and dragged the two towards the door. Phineas stumbled to his feet and winced as he dragged them harder.
Steve walked up to the porch and knocked on the door loudly and obnoxiously yelled, "Open up! It's Steven!"
A few moments later the door opened and there stood an elderly woman. She had a warm smile on her face and greeted him, "Hello, Stevie. What can I do for you?"
He pushed past the woman and walked through her doorway, "I need a place to stay. You still got that basement?"
She nodded her head, "Yes, but I thought you'd prefer the guest bedroom."
Steve rolled his eyes, "Of course I want the guest bedroom, but these two brats need somewhere where they can't escape."
She slowly looked to his sides and saw two young boys scared out of their minds. She didn't know why she hadn't noticed them earlier. "Why did you take these two boys?" She asked in shock.
"I didn't want 'em, but they were in the car that I stole and trust me, I was not turning around to drop off two boys." He shrugged his shoulders and then continued, "Besides, I thought it be fun to play hostage."
The woman shook her head and protested his idea, "No, you did this before and it didn't end well! Let the boys go!"
"I can't, they've seen too much!" He shouted.
"That is the most cliché excuse in the book!" She yelled right back at him.
"Like I care?" He retorted and then he started dragging the boys to the center of the carpet and stopped when he reached where he wanted to be. He turned to face her and warned her, "Don't you even think about letting these two go, or I will kill all three of you! You got that?"
She hesitated and looked and the boys' pleading faces, but she closed her eyes and slowly nodded her head.
He smirked and bent down to lift up the carpet. He shifted Phineas so he was holding both boys with one hand, but he still had a tight grip on them.
Underneath the carpet was an outline of a box. Steve stuck his finger in a small hole and lifted the hidden door up, revealing a dark stairway. He slowly lowered himself down onto the ladder; still dragging the boys. Phineas and Ferb were very careful as they climbed down the steps so they didn't fall. As they descended lower and lower and it got darker and darker, the lesser the boys believed they'd actually get out.

"I just don't understand where they could possibly be." One of the officers said, "We have no lead what so ever."
"We can't just give up!" Brad said, "We have to find these boys and fast!"
"Yeah," Another detective added, "Cause he's a murderer with two boys hostage. I'm not receiving a good vibe from that situation."
The detective rolled his eyes, "Are you sure Captain Obvious?" He said sarcastically.
"Yep." He replied.
"Guys, just go and find whatever evidence you can!" Brad insisted. "And fast!"
The detectives scurried off in hast to find more clues.
The detectives checked the files and then later that night they all met together to discuss their findings. "He doesn't own a house in his name." Detective Gold announced.
"Any family members?" Brad asked.
Joshua Gold checked the papers he had collected and replied, "One in his brother's and…his mom's name, but that's about it."
"Do we have any addresses?"
"Yeah."
Brad smiled; gaining hope, "Good, let's check out the brother's place first and then we'll move onto the mother's."
The group nodded their heads eagerly and headed out; they had a long day ahead of them tomorrow.

"Linda, I am so sorry." Vivian said as she walked through the front door. She ran over to her friend and gave her a large hug.
Linda wiped her eyes and said, "Don't be; it's not your fault."
Vivian nodded and said, "I came over as soon as you called. Isa is asleep, but I can bring her tomorrow to help cheer up Candace if you'd like."
Linda nodded her head and then sat on the couch and Vivian joined her. Linda sat down and started crying as soon as she was settled, "I miss them so much!" She cried in between tears.
Vivian sighed and gave her friend a hug, "We'll be okay, you'll see."
Steve threw open the steel door at the bottom of the steps. Behind the door was an empty room with nothing except four walls, a ceiling and a floor. He tossed the boys to the floor and snickered before closing and locking the door, "Have fun…"
Just like that the boys were alone, only able to see each other barely from one dim light on the ceiling. For a few moments the boys sat in silence and didn't move from fright, but when they were able to move they ran towards each other.
They threw their arms around each other and squeezed each other tightly. Neither boy wanted to let go. "It's going to be okay, Phin." Ferb whispered to his brother.
Phineas shook his head, "I don't know, Ferb. It's hard for me to believe that right now."
They let go of each other and looked into each other's eyes, "Come on, Phin, we can get out of this together." Ferb comforted his brother.
Phineas wiped a tear from his eye and smiled, "Okay Ferb, I'll hang in strong as long as you do."
Ferb smiled and held out his hand. Phineas smirked and then they did their secret handshake that they created right when they met each other. When they finished, Phineas silently looked down at his feet and felt tears threatening to fall, until he felt two arms around him. He looked up at his brother and hugged his brother, "I love you, bro."
"Me too, Phin." Ferb whispered, "I love you so much."

The next morning the police stopped by the Flynn-Fletcher residence and announced they were going to start their search at the brother's house for some clues. Linda and Lawrence nodded their heads and thanked them for all of their hard work.
Isabella was now upstairs crying with Candace, "I'm so sorry, Candace! I know I'm supposed to be helping, but I can't stop crying!" Isabella sobbed.
Candace blew her nose into a tissue, "It's fine, Izzy, I don't blame you. I just can't believe they're gone." She sniffed, "I woke up today and stared out my window waiting for them to start building some crazy contraption, but they never came!"
Isabella wiped her eyes, but then continued to listen to her sorrowful friend.
"I know most of the time I'd wish those twerps would just disappear, but…but I take it back. All of it! I just want them back safe and sound. I mean this is my entire fault; I should've stayed inside the car. If I did they wouldn't be gone right now!"
"It's not your fault, Candace." Isabella said.
Candace nodded her head, "My mom even said so. She told me before we realized they were missing that if the car's gone, she was blaming me!" She covered her face and fell back onto her bed.
"She didn't mean it…" Isabella said rubbing Candace's back.
Candace sighed, "I know she didn't. When she said that I didn't think the car would actually be gone because I thought what were the odds; a million and one? But I was wrong, Isabella, I was so wrong."
