Piece of evidence?
"Wow, that was great! This crowd really rocked!" Taylor gets himself a towel to dry his face with. "Yeah, did you see those three girls in front? They were cute, I tell ya." Isaac pokes his brother with an elbow. "Did ya see them or not?" "I saw them all right, but they weren't quite my type, I think." "Man, Taylor, what is your type then, you say that with every girl we see lately."
Isaac looks funny at Taylor, with one eyebrow lifted up, but Taylor doesn't notice. Now Zac interferes, holding Zoë on his arm. "Come on guys, knock it off. Ike, leave Tay alone. You know he's having a hard time after all that happened." "I guess you're right, man, but I just tried to brighten Tay up a bit. Did not work, I believe." Isaac lays an arm around Taylor's shoulders. "Don't give up now, Tay, I'm sure she will be found soon. You know we're there for ya." "Yeah, thanks. I know you're there for me, but sometimes I just can't get her out of my head.
Oh man, why did I have to take her on a date without Jason being around. I should have known better, I'm a total moron!" "Come on, sit down for a sec now. It wasn't totally your fault. Man, sometimes I just wish we weren't famous and could just take anyone out at any time, without being followed." Zac sitting beside Taylor watches Taylor's face. "You gotta stay strong, Tay. You know the police are looking for her. You described those men, didn't ya? So I bet they'll find those guys sooner then soon. And then they'll probably have Irene too."
Zac notices a tear rolling down Taylor's cheek. He hands Zoë over to Isaac, and turns to Taylor again. He takes Taylor's face between his hands, and looks deep into Taylor's eyes. "You gotta stay strong, you hear. For Irene's sake and yours. I just know that everything's gonna be fine. Trust me." "Thank you, I needed that. I'll do my best, okay?" Zac turns his head. "Jess, could you please get Tay a Dr. Pepper?"
"Zac, could you come over here for just a minute?" Isaac suddenly whispers, just loud enough for Zac to hear. Zac walks over to where Isaac is standing, asking himself what he wants. "What?" "Look here, between those boards on the floor. Do you see what I see?" Isaac is standing there with pearls of sweat on his forehead. "I don't know, what is it then? I can't see. Wait, let me try to get it. I need something very thin." Zac looks around for something thin. Then a glimpse of brightness breaks through on his face. "A bobby-pin. Ike, do you have one in your hair?" "Yeah, look, here." Zac takes the bobby pin and gets down on his knees. After a few seconds he manages to stick the bobby pin through the object, and wriggles the thing out of the seam. "What is it? Let me see it." Both Isaac and Zac stare at the round shaped thing. "Oh my god, it's an earring. I believe Irene wore those the day she was on a date with Tay." "Holy cow! That means…" Zac looks at Isaac, and Isaac looks at Zac, both thinking the same. "No, that can't be. Somebody must have seen them then. There was somebody backstage the whole time!" Isaac's face is filled with disbelieve. "Oh yeah? And what if they all had to go to the bathroom? Or went for something to eat? Let's ask everybody if they have left this backstage room sometime." Zac already turns around to ask Jason.
Isaac grabs Zac by his arm. "No, wait. You can't. They'll probably wonder why we would want to know that. Now listen, if those guys were here today, with Irene, they must have had a reason to come here. Let's first find out what that reason is. I know the police are doing their job and all, but I feel so bad for Tay. I can't just sit here and watch Tay getting more depressed every day. I want to do something. And here we just found our first clue. Zac, how about it, you and me. Will you help me?" Isaac is almost begging Zac, and Zac feels kind of important now, his older brother begging him for help. "Well, okay. But when will we go look for the reason? Right now it's quite impossible, with Tay around. He is already watching us." Isaac bends over to whisper in Zac's ear. "We'll go back tonight, then everybody is gone, and we have all the time we need. We'll take the family car. Mom and dad won't notice when they're asleep." "Okay, good idea. Now we gotta make sure that Tay doesn't suspect anything. We don't want to upset him. He'll go crazy if he knew about our plan." "Okay, thanks bro. Act casual." Zac and Isaac walk back towards Taylor if nothing had happened.
