It was only just after noon when Kendall woke up; he didn't sleep as long as he wanted to but it was enough. He toured the facility for a little bit before encountering unfamiliar territory and lots of construction. He decided it was best if he headed back to find something else to do while he waited. He went back to his room to surf his computer for places to eat or things to do but he didn't come up with much; he got sidetracked with Twitter, Facebook and Youtube for a while before calling it quits.

"Well at least I wasted an hour." he sighed. He was hungry though so he needed to find something to eat. The cafeteria on campus was closed so he decided to go to the local Subway down the street. He got up to grab his jacket before noticing a piece of paper on the floor. It was a note from Liam, he had slipped it under the door thinking Kendall was still asleep.

"Kendall,
Sorry I didn't tell you before but I was a bit embarrassed; Katie moved a few years ago. It was a way for her to start a new life apparently; you know as well as I do that she had gone through a lot of stuff over the years. I don't know her current address, in fact most people don't. That's what makes it embarrassing; her best friends don't know where she lives. I've tried looking up her address several times but I've had no luck, maybe you might find something else. I'm sure her address is written on some document in this facility but it'd take weeks to find it, if it's not locked into her office. It's probably for the best, she wanted a new life long before she became famous so getting a new house in a new town is what she needed to get away from all the stress. Not aonly that but now that she is famous, plus the events that had happened a few years back, I can understand why she would live elsewhere and not tell anyone. Anyway, I have other work to do so I wont be around much today like I thought I was. Hope you find something to do with your time!
Liam"

Kendall put the note in his pocket and left his room to head to the main building. It was quiet since everyone was at lunch but the building was open. Some noise was coming from the adjacent kennel and in one of the arenas so he made a quick dash down the hall as silently as possible. Cameras were every where but he wasn't too worried and he began to get to work. He had a few tools and started working on Katie's lock; he was fairly good at picking them and in a few minutes he was in. He checked the hall one last time before sliding inside and shutting the door behind him.

He sighed once he was inside and turned on the lights so he could see something. Her office was pretty neat and organized much to his surprise. Her desk in LA was in such disorder everyone was surprised at how well she functioned and met her deadlines. He began opening up drawers and files to look for any titles or areas that might pertain to information on her. All of her personal items kept listing a PO box rather than a physical address and Kendall soon became a bit frustrated at his progress. He was hopeful once again when he found a file cabinet in the back of her closet that listed all students and staff at the facility including information on each person. Her file had her old address and hadn't been updated yet, except for the same PO Box number he had been running across the whole time. Kendall started putting everything away but when he shut the drawer of the file cabinet, a folder on top was pushed off. He picked it up and opened it partly to put back a pamphlet that had slightly fallen out. He did a double take to read something familiar.

"Platinum Springs Luxury Homes in Bethel…" he read. He started looking through the folder and saw all kinds of information on luxury homes built in a type of free range community. There were several of these communities across the state but the town of Bethel kept coming up. Kendall remembered seeing the insignia of the community on his way one town over in Middlebury. He looked up the town of Bethel and soon found an address of the building site just 10 minutes away from the Academy. He hopped in his care and followed his GPS's instructions, getting lost once due to the low signal quality out on the well inhabited country roads.

He finally saw the familiar logo and saw just an open area of newly dug up trees and ground. Site building hadn't begun yet from what he could tell. He was confused, the pamphlets were dated a few years back at least so he thought this was wear she was inhabiting but maybe he was wrong. He pulled into the dirt driveway to turn around when he saw a trailer sitting behind a clump of trees. He rolled forward a bit to see a bright red sign with Platinum Spring's logo on it; below it, it said "Sales Office." With nowhere else to go he took a chance and pulled in to the parking lot. He was greeted by a tall red head when he walked inside the fancy cabin of the trailer.

"Hello there! Welcome to Platinum Springs at Bethel. My name is Regina Farlan, how may I help you today?"

"Hi, I'm actually totally lost and confused. I've been trying to find my girlfriend and no one seems to no where she lives."

""Well that sounds strange."

"I know, I sound like a stalker…but I'm not!" Kendall quickly said to defend himself once he heard what he was saying. "She used to live with me for a few months out of the year when we both had work to do in LA and when she wasn't busy she'd come back here to CT. I wasn't aware that she moved though, apparently she did it in secret, which makes sense; it's a long story. Anyway, I came here because I saw flyers for this community thing and they looked old so I thought maybe this was where she was but it seems you havent started building yet…"

"Oh but we have. These sites out front our the last sites to be built on. We started building at the back since we had an odd shaped layout. We wanted to be sure we had enough room and that all of our home sites would be generous in space. I probably shouldn't give you directions since this whole story sounds just way too weird but I don't want to get involved in whatever it is going on. Just follow the driveway back out and follow it through the construction zone; they'll stop as you pass. Then follow the road into the mountain side and you'll see the homes. About 20 have been built so far and 35 more are in the works." she explained.

Kendall thanked her and left in a hurry, leaving Regina to breathe a sigh of relief but also confused. He followed her directions and found the homes fairly quickly, out of the 20 homes built, only 9 were lived in thus far, the others were on the last finishing touches or hadn't been sold yet. Kendall drove by each house slowly, looking for anything that might give it away that Katie lived there. He saw all kinds of dogs but none that looked familiar.

He pulled over and thought for a moment before pretending to look at some paper to avoid looking like a weirdo. He thought and looked at the houses and tried to figure out what to do; inevitably though, he decided to just bite the bullet and knock on a door and see who answers. With any luck, even if he gets the house wrong, he can ask the inhabitants if they know Katie. He looked for a house that looked inhabited and then one that had a car in the driveway. The first house he received no answer, the second house, a nurse answered the door. She was caring for an elderly gentleman who had many physical and mental problems in his growing age. She was a temporary aid to the man and didn't know anyone in the neighborhood. Finally at the third house he received some answers.

He knocked on the door and looked at his phone and then at the scenery as he waited for the door to open. He expected someone calm, cool and collected but instead he was greeted by screams of joy. He jumped back and lost his balance at the screams as he tried to gain his senses. He almost had his balance but he was tackled to the ground by a young brown haired girl who was now in tears.

"Oh my god! Kendall Knight is at my house! Ahhh!" she screamed fanning herself. Kendall just looked at her with a look of fear and shock; this was not what he was expecting at all.

"Uh…hi?" he mustered trying to think. His mind was full of thoughts about Katie and from being frustrated with getting lost that he wasn't thinking clearly. Once he realized this was a fan, he tried to be as nice as possible although he was quite uncomfortable with this young girl straddling him.

"Oh Em Gee! This is like SO unbelievable! I KNEW you would come visit me; I could see it in your eyes when I saw you in concert 5 months ago. You kept staring me in the eyes and I knew we weren't meant to be and, like, it's totally undeniable since you're, like, HERE! OMG OMG! AHHH!" The girl stammered. "So like, I know we didn't get to talk much, if at all when I met you but my name is Heather. Just in case you forgot, although you shouldn't have because you are obviously in love with me." She continued, matter of factly. She got off Kendall, who was subtly trying to get up, and as soon as he was on his feet, she grabbed his wrist and pulled him inside and shut the door behind them.

"Uh…Heather? I think you might have misunderstood; I'm trying to find my girlfriend-"

"Duh! I'm right here. I didn't think you'd actually be so pushy as to giving titles already but I gladly accept!"

"No, I mean-"

"I'M your girlfriend." she said loudly.

Kendall hushed up, a bit scared at being alone with an apparent psycho fan. This wasn't the first time he had a run in with these types of die hard fans but it was the first time that he was alone with one with no kind of protection. He usually had a body guard or even a band mate but this time he felt outnumbered although she was the only one. Heather dragged him to the den and pushed him onto the sofa. He tried to get up but Heather jumped on top of him, lust in her eyes.

"Since you want me so bad, I'll let you just have me. You wont have to work at all." she said slyly. Kendall's eyes widened and he tried to get away or push her off but despite her small frame she was surprisingly strong. " Playing hard to get huh? I like that. Maybe if I keep pushing and being greedy you might want to spank me…" she continued. Kendall was still freaked out but he had enough. He mustered all the strength he had and pushed her off him onto the floor and he got up.

"Enough Heather! I don't want to do this and neither should you! What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Me?! You're the one who looked at me!"

"Yeah, that's all I did was make eye contact, I do that with all my fans. You're the only one who blew it out of proportion and started acting as the easy slut; You're just a child!"

"What?! How DARE you! I'm not a slut and I'm certainly not a child!"

"How old are you?"

"13 and a half thank you very much!"

"13 year olds shouldn't be trying to sleep with someone; they shouldn't even know about that stuff! Don't you have any respect for yourself? "

"I'm an adult and I can do what I want!"

"13 is not an adult. You're still a child and need to listen to your parents. You have no idea what you are doing or getting yourself into; what you were about to do was illegal and would have landed me in prison. So don't begin to tell me that you're prepared for everything life can throw at you. You want to grow up so fast and in turn you're going to miss everything that childhood has to offer. Sleeping with men isn't going to get you anywhere in life, no one wants to be with someone easy; someone who has no respect for herself." He lectured. Heather was letting it sink in but she didn't show any remorse. "Think about what you want in life and how you are going to get there. Don't cheapen yourself when you have your whole life ahead of you." He turned to leave and was just about out the door of Heather's den before she spoke up.

"Kendall, wait." she sighed. "I'm sorry, really I am. I thought maybe for once someone would look at me and like me for what I am. A lot of my friends or more mature than me so the guys I like don't look at me the way they do my friends. In any case, this isn't stuff you want to hear no doubt; sounds like it's straight from a crappy sitcom from the 90's. But I was hoping that maybe we could at least hang out for a few minutes? You know a hug, a round of Mario Kart and some pictures? I promise to help you find your girlfriend afterwards; I'll tell you whatever you want or need to know!"

Kendall stopped and thought for a moment; he thought about what to say and what to do as well as if her words were genuine. Would she really help him afterwards? What about even just hanging out with her? It seemed like there wouldn't be any harm in it but after what she did it kinda seemed like a reward. But then again, he understood what she might be feeling, being ostracized for her looks; Katie went through the same thing for so many years, even after she had an image change. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Heather and decided that he would stay for a little bit. A few pictures and 1 round of Mario Kart wouldn't be the end f the world.

"Fine. 1 hug, 1 round of Mario Kart and 2 pictures." he said flatly. Heather smiled and took her hug right away running into his arms. When she backed away she had a few tears trying to escape her eyes but she wiped them away before moving on to Mario Kart. Kendall picked the longest course possible and switched the requirements to 5 laps instead of 3 to make it last a little longer. Once it was all set they began playing and laughing along the way.

Katie was on the highway coming back from several meetings upstate. She was going to take a quick trip home right after she picked up a neighbor's dog to kennel at her facility while the family left for Vacation tomorrow morning. Luckily enough she lived in the same area, in fact she was about a block down from the client's house; she used to baby sit the client's two daughters when they were just kids. She pulled up to her neighbor's house to find only an unfamiliar car out front. The neighborhood was fairly active so there were numerous cars coming in and out all the time; she just figured they had company. She slid on her vest and hat to identify herself and walked up the path.

She knocked on the door and several seconds passed by without so much as a whisper. She checked her watch to be sure it was the right time. According to the work order, anytime after 3pm was great and it was now 4:15. She tried again and this time after another minute the door opened slowly. Katie was flipping through her paperwork and when she looked up she was greeted by nothing, just an open door. She moved her binder and looked down to see the youngest daughter, Melissa at the door; a big smile on her face.

"Katie!" she said happily, giving her legs a hug.

"Hey, Melissa! How are you?"

"Good."

"Where's Mommy?"

"She's not home."

"What about Daddy?"

"He's not here either. He said they were doing finally stuff for Disney world!" she said bright eyed. Melissa was only 3 years old but she could speak clearly and use almost complete sentences with proper verbage.

"Are you here by yourself?"

"No, Heather is here."

"Where is Nadine?" Katie asked curiously. Nadine was the eldest sister at 16; she was a bit rude and aloof but usually she was a big homebody.

"She left. She says Heather is in charge."

"Oh boy." Katie sighed. Heather was the rudest girl on the block, she was obnoxious and pushy. She had no respect for people or their things and was probably the town whore. Katie couldn't really understand how the two girls got so bad, the oldest children, twin boys were perfect gentlemen and the parents themselves were nice, welcoming and kind. The twins were a year older than Katie and moved out of the house shortly after Katie moved into the neighborhood, they were good friends though and the twins would stop by to chat when they weren't busy. "I think I need to have a talk with her; and Nadine next time I see her. She cant keep leaving you alone like this."

"Why not? I can take care of myself!"

"Can you reach the faucet in the bathroom without your block?"

"No."

"Then you arent ready just yet!" Katie chuckled.

"Aww…" Melissa sighed.

"One day, Mel. Why don't you tell me where Heather is?"

"She told me not to bother her. She said she was tired and was going to take a nap with the boy who was at the door cause he was tired too."

"…I see…" Katie said slowly trying to hide her shock. Katie knew exactly what was going on and didn't want to let on that something was different or not right. She was going to preserve Melissa's innocence as long as she could. "Where?"

"I don't know, I think they went to the den but there's no bed in there!"

"Ok. Let me go see if she's awake, but you have to stay here alright? Don't move no matter what, not until I get back!"

"How come?"

"Oh, uh, because I have a very important job for you. See my truck over there?"

"Yea"

"I need you to keep an eye on it and make sure the doggies don't get out. But don't go outside, no one can watch you. Just watch from the window and I will be right back."

"Ok!" Melissa agreed. She saluted Katie and ran to the window to begin watching Katie's truck. Katie went through the house to the den to get to the bottom of everything and give Heather a piece of her mind.
