The clouds swirled around menacingly threatening to rain. Tedros looks at the sky, and it seemed to describe how he was feeling. They had looked all over the city through the night, and after hours of debating they finally called the police.

Tedros was tapping his foot furiously against the cheap carpet while he sat in a hard plastic chair. The police officer that Tedros had dealt with before was writing notes about Agatha's kidnapping whilst Hester was recapping the story.

"You saw a car leave with Agatha in the backseat?" The police officer repeated. Tedros sighed. This was getting them nowhere, and Agatha was out somewhere at the brink of death. He couldn't help but imagine her body slumped somewhere with blood bleeding out of her drop by drop.

Tedros swiveled, and he immediately got out of his seat. "I need some air." Tedros said voice cracking. He ran outside of the police station and grabbed the keys of his car and got in. "I'm going to find you, Agatha." Tedros whispered to himself. After he spent minutes drowning himself in his thoughts, he drove to Agatha's house hoping to find some clue to where she went.

When he pulled up to her driveway, he saw a A6 Audi parked outside of the house. A man with a crisp fitted Armani black business suit with Prada sunglasses walked out of the car and slammed it loudly. He looked at Tedros curiously. "Who are you?" He asked suspiciously. "I could ask you the same question." Tedros said venomously. "That's fair. I'm Callis' business partner, Stefan. We both own about half of a Russian international hotel chain, and I'm here to grab some of her legal documents while she's vacationing with her daughter in Surrey. What about you?" Stefan looked at him expectantly.

"Um… I'm Agatha's boyfriend. We go to school together, and she didn't show up to school, so I've been worried." Tedros said fibbing. Stefan didn't look fazed and started laughing. "Callis didn't tell me that her daughter had a boyfriend! I will have to tease her about it later, but you shouldn't worry about those two. Callis is always out of town, so it's no big deal. Well, I have to get those papers. Companies don't run themselves you know." Stefan said laughing and unlocking the front door of the house. Tedros faked a laugh, and a grin engulfed his face.

As he was driving back to the police station grinning like a fool, he saw a sliver of sun peeking through the clouds, and he felt a strong feeling of hope that everything was going to be fine.

When he finally got back to the police station, he rushed inside quickly to get Hester and tell her about what he found. "Hester! Hester! I found something that will lead us to Agatha. We have to go now!" Hester looked over to the door to see that Tedros was out of breathe and smiling way too wide like the Grinch after his heart grew.

"What did you f—" "We don't have time for that. We have to go now." Tedros said grabbing Hester's hand and dragging her to his car. He turned the key in his ignition and sped off. "Okay, Tedros. You need to explain. I just left that interview before I got to finish the whole story. They might not have enough information to find Agatha." Hester said annoyed. "That means nothing to me now. I just found out where Agatha is from Callis' business partner, Stefan." Hester's mouth dropped open.

"Your'e kidding! Where is she? Do you know where specifically?" Hester asked flabbergasted and slightly giddy. "Well…not specifically, but I know that she's in Surrey. I think we can find her though. What's the fastest way to get there?"

"It's a long way from here, and there is no way that we can catch up to them by car. We are going to need a different mode of transportation, and I think I know just the person that can get us there. First, we need to stop at McDonalds." Hester said smiling evilly. Tedros looked at her like she was crazy, but he drove to McDonalds anyway.

Hester got out of the car quickly, and she walked inside to see Sophie working. "Hey Soph, I have a proposition for you." Sophie sneered. "What could you possible want from me?" Hester smiled slyly. "I need two plane tickets to Surrey please and thank you."

Sophie looked at her incredulously. "Why would I get you plane tickets to Surrey?" Sophie asked. "Because I have some pictures of you working with that gorgeous little hairnet of yours and a couple of rumors about you that I don't think that you want anyone else to see or hear about." The color drained out of Sophie's face as she digested Hester's threat.

"I understand. How soon do you need them?" Sophie asked quickly. "I need them right now." Hester responded rapidly. "I cannot get you plane tickets right now. I can't even get myself plane tickets right now!" Sophie said hysterically. "Well, I guess you can't have friends or popularity right now either." Hester said trying to look calm, but she was really freaking out. If Sophie couldn't give her the tickets, there was no way that she was going to be able to get there in time to save her friend. Sophie bit her nails.

"Okay, look, I can't get you any tickets, but I think I can get you flown there. My dad owns a private jet, and I think he went out to his business partners house. He shouldn't be back home until tonight. If I fly you there now, we should be able to go there and fly back before he gets back home, but we will only be there for a couple hours. Is that enough for you?" Sophie said hurriedly. Hester nodded and sighed with relief. Hester silently thanked her stomach for it's habit of craving McDonalds all the time. Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten the pictures. "I'm going to tell my boss that I have a family emergency, and I need to go. Meet me outside, and I'll drive you to my house. Once we get on the plane, you better delete those photos, Hester." Sophie said before disappearing to the back.

Creg jumped for the seventh time as Agatha slurred in her seat. The guilt seemed to be building like a pyramid in his heart. "Damn it, Creg! Get a hold of yourself!" Callis screeched, using the tip of her thumb to slap the end of her lipstick off.

Creg tensed, straightening himself out. He almost felt bad for the young girl. She had been defeated and dragged to the finish line by her mother. He sighed, running his fingers through his hair. He couldn't do it anymore. It wouldn't be good for his health, he wouldn't be able to live with it.

A twenty-one year old, old enough to be her own son. He became disgusted with himself, but then he remembered why he was really there and why he really needed her, for the money. As a university dropout, he had nothing. Then again, he'd rather turn himself in and have nothing than be the cause of death and live a life full of guilt.

Callis gave him an odd look and began stroking his collar. "Come on, Creg... There will be a happy ending, I promise." He stretched a smile, taking her hand. "Thanks, babe," He cupped her chin, caressing it. "But what now?" He pressed her cold lips to his and grinned deeply.

"Hide out until she finally passes away. My parents owned a farm before they died. Yes, I sold it but I'd be able to sneak in and bury her there." Greg grimaced, sending her a chilling vibe. "Babe, that's sick." She shrugged, massaging her bony hands. "Sick for the sickest."

"So where do I fit in all of this?" Hester cocked an eyebrow, turning to Sophie who had managed to change into something a bit more suitable for the occasion. "What do you mean, Barbie?" Sophie rolled her eyes, using her right arm to grab lip gloss out of her bag. "I'm giving a lift with my father's jet, so what do I get in return?"

Hester rolled her eyes, pushing her fists into her pockets. "You get the satisfaction from knowing that I'm not going to ruin your whole 'high school' experience." Sophie rolled her eyes and started to look around, eyeing termination area 38. "You told me Tedros would be here. I didn't dress all pretty for you, you know. So where is he?"

Hester was thinking of the same thing. Staying with Sophie was like owning your own personal criticising assistant.

"Sorry I'm late!" Both Hester and Sophie swiveled around facing Tedros, and the two of them could never have been happier. "I can't thank you enough, Sophie." He came into view stopping before her with a great grin on his face. She did the same, her heart fluttering in her chest.

"So why don't I show you around?" She took him by the hand almost forgetting Hester as she led him up the stairs. "I couldn't access a pilot, so I guess I'll be flying you down." Hester almost cried as those words seeped out of her lips. This, Sophie saw and immediately jerked her head to face Hester. "Actually, I'm personally trained and qualified, Esther!"

Hester narrowed her eyes, nudging past her. "It's Hester, thanks. We don't have all day, Barbie, so if you could start the engine or whatever and fly us over, we'd be very appreciative."

Tedros smiled, nudging Hester as they both took a seat. "Raging hormones, Hester. You should be happy! We are this close into finding Agatha." He squinted, using his fingers as an example as he squeezed them together.

"You should calm you hormones, your probably thinking about how she'll kis-" Tedros cut her off with laughter, shaking his head. "Baby steps, Hester. Agatha and I haven't even had a normal conversation together."

Hester sighed, running her fingers through her hair. "I really do hope Agatha is okay..." She mumbled. She closed her eyes, finally letting tears stream down her face.

There was a silence between the both of them. "She's like family, you know. She's the only person I have..." Tedros nodded, oddly sharing the same feeling.

"Don't tell me you have... feelings for Agatha..." Tedros shook his head, but his face light up with a blush against his will. He hoped that she wouldn't notice the blush that engulfed his face. "Why did you have to ruin the mood, Hester?" Hester laughed at him, but a sorrowful atmosphere filled the room. The conversation oddly reminded him of his father and the conversation he had with his mother yesterday. Then tears came to Tedros' eyes. Tedros still wasn't over his father yet.

"Guys, I won't be able to start the engine..." Sophie came out to meet the two interrupting the dreadful mood, her face covered in dust and fuel. "Sophie, I'm pretty sure this 'facial' will cause spots..." Tedros snorted wiping away his tears. "Shut up. My dad forgot to tell me about this jet. Since some of there are used for air-force, this one got ruined." Tedros sighed, running his fingers through his hair.

"I knew there was a catch to this...somehow!" He got up, kicking the mini fridge. Sophie sighed, "I'm sorry Tedros...but this trip...is it that important?"

He looked at her, his eyes glistening with pain.

"Very important to us..." Hester uttered, taking her seatbelt off. "Is there any way we can get another one? Sophie! We are in great need of your help, and we are all going to be angry if we don't get it." Sophie hesitated, scratching her back. "I'm sorry, I-I don't know. Let me give my dad a call..."

Tedros watched her, hoping she'd get a jet for them both. "Hi, daddy..." Hester gave Tedros a look and they both chuckled slightly.

Agatha slurred in her chair, her eyes fluttering open. She let out a cry of agony before falling back into slumber.

"What was that?" Creg detached himself from Callis, running to the room Agatha had been in. He pushed the door open, running to her aid. "Seriously, babe. We were having so much fun..." She rattled her Bailey bottle, taking a large sip.

He ignored her, searching for Agatha'a pulse. Then again he was drunk and didn't understand a thing. He took her hand, holding it towards his fingers.
