A/N: I'm back! I also got my Jonas Brothers CD today! Yay!

Jake walked into the visitor's center at the monument in South Dakota. He sat down on a wooden bench and looked around. He had been searching all day for someone with any information on Miley and so far nothing. He felt as if he was hitting a dead end. He looked up and saw a copper statue of the original design the artist had originally plan to do. He sighed as the last few visitors exited the center for the night.

"What's the matter Jake?" a voice asked.

Jake was snapped out of his thoughts and looked around. He saw no one. "Come on you can tell us." He heard again. He looked up at the monument and saw a site he would never believe could happen.

…………

Miley sat quietly on the bed. She was board out of her mind. She may have been board but she was more worried about Jake's safety now then anything. It had been at least a month and half since her abduction. "Why the long face?" her stick abductor asked. Miley had been keeping herself occupied by thinking up things he resembled and the most recent one was a stick.

She didn't respond, she only glared hard at him. "Come on you can tell me." He said mockingly knowing all to well that there was no way she say anything to him. She looked away totally disgusted at him. "I'm not going to hurt you… but as for your husband that's another story." He told her in a menacing voice.

"If you lay a hand on Jake…" she started her anger growing in her.

"You'll what? Report me to the authorities? News flash, you have no connection to them here and if I have my way, you will never have any connection to them!" he answered. He looked at Miley. "Tiny will be in a few hours with your nightly rations." He said. Tiny was the big guy who had brought her here and seemed to do most of this guys "dirty work." He got up and left the room once again making sure that the door was locked from the outside.

Miley sighed hard. "Please stay safe Jake." She whispered. "Daddy, will be safe." She then whispered to her belly , which was still flat.

…………

Jake blinked hard as he looked up at the statute. He shook his head and looked again. Everything seemed normal. "That was odd." He said out loud.

"What's odd?" another voice asked.

Jake shook his head and blinked again. "How… how can you guys be talking!" he questioned the object.

"We're not really alive, we're just figments of you imagination Jake." Lincoln answered the question.

"Please, share your problem with us." Washington said looking at him.

Jake sighed. Almost no one was left and if they thought he was crazy, so what. He didn't know any of them. "I'm searching for a friend of mine who left town a few weeks or well almost a month ago. I arrived here in South Dakota about a week ago trying to locate her and I have hit a dead end." He spilled. "I'm starting to loose hope of ever finding her, and she's very special to me."

"This is a problem!" Teddy Roosevelt exclaimed looking at Jake through his glasses. "Do you know if this… friend of yours came through here?"

"Yeah!" Jake exclaimed then started thinking the guy at the casino had only said this abductor had mentioned something about Mt. Rushmore. He never said the guy had actually come this way. "Well, I'm pretty sure."

"Well there's your problem!" Jefferson answered. "South Dakota is a big place!"

Lincoln looked at Jefferson. "Jake, we may just be figments of your imagination that are being caused by the stress you're under and the lack of sleep you've you had, but if there's one thing I can say to you is, don't give up hope. This girl is waiting for you to rescue her!"

Jake looked at Lincoln and smiled for the first time in weeks. "You're right Mr. President," he answered thinking that Mr. President was only fitting to call him and the other's for that matter. "I shouldn't give up hope!" after he said those few words the Presidents fell still once again.

"Jake?" a voice questioned.

…………

Back in Malibu things were kind off tense. Lilly and Clearance had suddenly stopped talking to each other and Robbie had fallen incredibly silent, Jackson and Andria had postponed the wedding something that had been decided almost immeadtly after finding out that Miley was missing. As for Oliver and Sara, well they'd broken up once Oliver caught her making out without the star quarter back of the college who wasn't even in grad school. Life was just chaotic there and things probably wouldn't turn back to normal until Miley, Jake, and baby X were all back safe and sound.

…………

"Who we're you talking to?" the stranger asked as he approached Jake.

"No one in particular Uncle Adam." He replied. "I think I was just thinking out loud."

"Well, you sure are lucky I work here!" Adam replied with a laugh. "So you had some questions for me?"

"Yeah, did you by any chance see a Caucasian man with a knick in his right ear, a scar on his left cheek and a snake tattooed onto his left arm?" Jake asked. He had basically memorized the description of this man.

His uncle sighed. "I do recall a man like that. He asked for some directions to a place down to the mouth of the Mississippi river."

"Thanks!" he exclaimed as he grabbed his Uncle and gave him a hug. He left the center and started his drive down to the Mississippi river.
