"We have to get them," Hope tells her boss.
     "There are no leads on the case or any reports on it. I can't help you. For all, I know they're just messing around." Her boss tiredly says and is annoyed that this conversation kept going in a circle.
     "I heard screams in Mitch's house I know their there. There were pictures of them, pictures of me. He is stalking them. Don't you understand?" Hope's voice is raising, but she was in his office and the door was closed, so she didn't care how loud she got. Ryan was at his desk watching them argue. He didn't know what to do. He wondered if he should go up there, but what would he do? Hope slammed the door closed and walked down the stairs from his office.
     "He won't help because the is no report on it and no proof," Hope says angrily while pacing.
     "But we were there and heard screams doesn't that count?" Ryan asks confused.
     "No, because we weren't authorized to go, so it technically it doesn't count," Hope says sitting a crossed from Ryan.
     "Oh."
     "I have to go," Hope says standing up again about to walk away.
     "You can't go there," Ryan says grabbing her arm holding her back.
     "I have to, they are my best friends. I'll go with or without help from anyone, but I'm going to get them back. This guy isn't right, he's f*cking messed up." Hope says lowering her voice.
     Ryan pulled her over so no one could see them and says, "You can't, you'll get hurt. You can't just go in alone."
     "Why do you care?" Hope asks trying not to sound mean, but her mind is just on her friends. Friends that have been with her her whole life.
     "You know why, your one of my best friends and I don't want to see you get hurt," Ryan says trying not to sound like he's in love with her. 
     "I know, but I have to get them out," Hope says looking into Ryan's eyes.
     "Ok, I know, but just wait a little, Please," Ryan pleads trying to come up with something that would keep her here.
     "Fine, but only for a little, ok," Hope says giving in. This gives her more time to come up with a better plan.
     "Thank you," Ryan says letting go of her arm. Hope goes back down to her desk. Her phone rings and she picks it up quickly, "Hello."
     "You'll be here soon. "
     "Who is this?" Hope asks concerned but had an idea of who it was.
     "You know me, come on now Hope."
     "Don't you dare touch them, if you do-"
     "Oh, that might be too late, I'm afraid that they think you can fight me and save them, but I just want us to be friends."
     "That's never going to happen, and I will come for them and I will save them. You're going to spend the rest of your days in jail." Hope says looking at Ryan. He mouthed to ask her who it was. She mouths back. Mitch. He stands up and starting to walk over to her.
     "Don't let him reach your desk," Mitch said smiling over the phone.
     "Stop," Hope says putting her hand out to stop Ryan from coming any closer.
     "What are you doing, what do you want?" Hope asks making Ryan stay put.
     "You will see, oh and I suggest the next time you think of coming into my house be prepared to meet your friends," Mitch says hanging up the phone.
     "What was that about?" Ryan asks starting to walk towards her again.
     "He threatened that if I went to his house again that he would kidnap me and bring me to where Amanda and Ali are," Hope replies sitting in her seat trying to figure out what she's going to do. Then she knows exactly where they are, but not sure how she's going to get there and get them out.
     "He better not touch you, he'll be six be under by my hands," Ryan says in a protective tone.
     "Thanks, but I'm going to go there. The question is how will I get in without him knowing." Hope wonders out loud.
      "I have no clue," Ryan says trying to think as well.
      "I know where they are. In the house I mean." Ryan gives Hope a look as if to say how. "When we where younger he said if he could have everyone he like in one room it would be in a secret basement. I never asked why, but I'm positive that's were they are. That's why we heard them scream." Ryan looks at her confused. "Pull up the layout of the house and I'll show you what I mean." He leans over and starts typing on Hopes screen and then the layout came up. "See right here, it's like a cellar." Hope points under the stairs that went to the basement.
     "So you think he is keeping them there?" Ryan asks still a little uncertain.
     "Yes," Hope says confidently.
     "Ok I'll take your word for it, but how do we get in?" Ryan questions looking for an entrance on the layout.
     "Can you pull up the cameras on that street?" She asks not fighting about him coming with. She knows he's not going to give up. 
     "I can't believe you just asked that question. Of course, I can." Ryan says shaking his head.               "There."
     "We can't go through there. No won't work." Hope kept rambling about no won't work or maybe until she says: "That's our way in." Pointing to a window that was by stairs.
     "Not all of us are that flexible or were in gymnastics like you," Ryan says glaring at Hope.
     "You don't need to be, you're tall enough just to pull your self up," Hope explains giving him a duh look.
     "Right," Ryan mumbles looking at the layout again.
     "Hey, you don't have to go, no one is making you come."
     "Yeah, because I'm so going to let my best friend go to a stalkers house by her self." He says looking at her.
     "Whatever. We need to get over there now?"
     "Sure, once you tell me the plan so I don't get anyone killed." Ryan says his stomach turning in knots unsure of what's going to happen. 
     "Ok, so here's the plan,"
