Precinct 23

Jo Taylor looks up at the dirty Los Angeles Police Department sign and hopes that this precinct is where Kendall is being housed after trying to locate at two other precincts and coming up empty handed. Jo walks nervously though the door looking all around her at the sad mass of humanity that is surrounding her. She is startled by someone who smells like stale beer and unwashed bodies before they are dragged off handcuffed by a couple of grim looking officers. Jo takes a couple of deep breaths as se steadies herself and she walks up to the Plexiglas window, and says "I need to know where Kendall Knight is, how much his bail is, and if there is anyway I cant get to see him tonight."

The woman behind the computer rolls her eyes at the young woman but checks her ancient desktop computer for any records on anyone named Kendall Knight. She checks the computer screen and shakes her head then types more information into the command prompt. "I'm sorry dear but no one named Kendall Knight has ever been arrested or incarcerated in the city of Los Angeles. Before you ask I've tried all different types of spellings and even included they county database in my searches. I'm sorry but maybe you dreamed or imagined the whole thing." Jo has tears flowing freely from her eyes as she is desperate to find Kendall and take him back to his distraught mother.

The Palm Woods

By this time the entire Palm Woods population has heard about the earlier events involving the bushy eyebrowed leader of Big Time Rush. The paparazzi are milling all around taking random snapshots of the crowd and interviewing random people. Greg watches the entire scene unfolding before with a sense of surreal detachment as most people are viewing this scene as a way to become famous. His eyes wander over to the TMZ leech as he overhears the reporter ask Taryn about Kendall. Her response brings a smile to his face when she says, "He deserves what he got, and he never cared about anything or anyone before so he deserves what he got." Greg is nearly doubled over in laughter when he hears more laughter coming from around the corner and he spots Cecilia laughing at Taryn's response as well.

Suddenly Greg's and Cecilia's eyes meet and the laughter is suddenly replaced by a tense nervousness that is almost palpable. Greg grimaces as the last memory he has of Cecilia washes over him, and Cecilia bites her lip as she remembers running away from him. Without warning the flurry of activity around the two crowds them close together; they are pressed up against each other and both secretly are enjoying the proximity but do not want to get to close with the other person. Suddenly the crowd pressure eases but Greg and Cecilia continue to stand together not noticing any activity around them. Greg suddenly takes a step back and Cecilia nearly falls to the ground because she was leaning on Greg. Greg looks at Cecilia and says, "I don't know if I can go through this again."

He turns to walk away from the rapidly deteriorating situation when a hand grabs his arm and stops him in his tracks. He turns around and looks at Cecilia who drags him out to the pool so they can be alone. Greg allows himself to be drug with the same detached amusement so he doesn't get hurt as badly again. When they finally stop on the far side of the pool Cecilia pushes Greg into the beach chair and begins to talk. "First off I just want to say I'm sorry about running off earlier. I was just scared." Greg doesn't say anything so Cecilia takes this as a cue she can continue. "I've never told anybody this before so please bear with me. Growing up me and my brother were always really close. I went to a party but realized I was out of my depth there so I called my brother to come pick me up. On our way home a drunk driver smashed into us. My brother was killed instantly but somehow I escaped with just a broken leg." Cecilia tries to continue the story but can't because the memories come flooding back as she sees the wreckage and her brother's limp body in the seat next to her. Greg doesn't say a word he just grabs her and holds her tightly against him letting her feel the warmth of his affection for her. She starts to move and Greg holds her more tightly, not wanting her to run off again.

Greg takes the opportunity to plant a kiss on her forehead. He rubs her back as they stand therein the moonlight. He says to her, "I know that this must be extremely difficult for you to talk about it. I had a twin brother that died when I was five. He was diagnosed with cancer and a few months later he wasn't around anymore." It's Cecilia's turn to be surprised and they continue holding each other for the rest of the night.

Rocque Records

"Alright guys, I'm going to need you to hand me all of your cell phones and any other devices you brought with you" Kelly says holding open an empty bag. All four guys protest and yell but Kelly cuts them off with a stern look. "Look, in order for this to work nobody can have any contact with any of you; especially you Kendall because you are supposed to be getting beaten up in jail." They all look at her like she has grown three arms. "Nobody will be getting beaten up it is just the second phase of Griffin's plan. If there are reports you are getting hammered it will toughen up your image and garner the sympathy of millions of girls." Kendall grins broadly while Carlos hesitates throwing his phone into the bag. "You are going to have to spend the next week here with no contact with the outside world so we can build the anticipation to a fever pitch."

Logan is the one to find his voice first. "But we all have people who are going to miss us and wonder where we have gone. I don't think that this is such a great idea, what if people figure out that this is all a big ploy?" Logan is already starting to hyperventilate thinking about all the bad publicity he could get and he also thinks his possible career in medicine will be gone. Kelly rolls her eyes and slaps Logan back to reality and he calms down and throws his phone in the waiting bag.
