"Listen, Zac, tonight, at exactly twelve, I'll wait in front of your hotel room. Make sure you're dressed then. Don't wake Mackie up, be quiet. I'll try not to wake Tay. Okay?" "Okay, let's go on the mission at midnight!" Zac and Isaac follow Taylor to the stage. There Taylor is busy packing his keyboards. "Tay, need a hand?" "Naah, you guys better start packing your own instruments. Ike, you could help Zac with his drums after you whiped your guitars." "You got it, man."
As soon as the guys packed their instruments, they drive to the hotel with their family. "Man, I really need a shower now. I have a sweaty odor, yuck." Isaac lifts his right arm up, and smells his armpit. "Eeeew, yep, a shower is definitely what I need." "Then you'd better hurry to your room, and we'll see you downstairs in the restaurant after you're done with the refreshing." "Okay dad, see you later." Isaac, Taylor and Zac walk towards the elevators and push the button for the elevator to come.
"Okay, guys, you can tell me now. You two were acting really suspicious. You better cough it up, or you'll regret it, I swear!" Taylor's expression isn't quite friendly anymore. The elevator doors open, and the three brothers enter the elevator. Zac pushes the button with 24, and the doors shut again. "Well… Tay, please, stay calm. We wanted to keep this from ya, because else you're gonna flip." Isaac and Zac exchange looks. "Damn it, man, tell me! I'm flipping right now, so that doesn't matter anymore." "Okay okay. Remember Ike and I were standing in the room, and did you see me get down on my knees?" "Yeah…" "Well, Ike saw this glistening thing in a seam in the floor. I got it out of the seam, and it turned out to be one of Irene's earrings. You know, the ones she was wearing at that particular date?" "Oh no! So you guys think Irene was in that room today? But when and how?" "That's what we want to find out. Zac, show Tay the earring." Zac sticks his hand in his pocket, and one second later he's holding the earring. "Yeah, that's one of those earrings all right. Those bastards! I wanna hurt them so bad!" "Relax, Tay! Tonight, at midnight, Zac and I want to go back to that theater to find out why those people came there this afternoon. I'm sure Irene dropped one earring on purpose to give us a clue. We have to find out what they were looking for." "I'm coming with ya! It is my girlfriend after all. So I'm coming too." Zac and Isaac both know that it is useless to bring Taylor on other thoughts. "Okay, but you've gotta keep this quiet. Don't let anybody know about our plan." "Deal. Guys, I appreciate your help very much. Let's get these criminals!"
The elevator doors open again, and the three step outside. "Zac, see you when you're done. Are you coming to our room then?" "Okiedokie, see you in about half an hour." Zac gets the key card to his room, and enters it. The door opens, and Zac disappears in his room. Isaac and Taylor have the room next to Zac's. Taylor grabs for the key card, and opens the door. "Isaac, you really don't have to do this, you know. The police is already looking for Irene. I don't know if we should risk our lives. To loose one person you care about is enough." "Man, Tay, I want to do this, I can't just assume an attitude of expectation. And we found Irene's earring. I mean… we simply have to do something. I want to do this for you." "Ike, you can't imagine what this means to me. I love you, man." Taylor walks up to Isaac and embraces him. "Yeah man, I love you too, you know that. I'm glad you're my bro. Now hit the shower, that will refresh you." "Yeah, I'll be as quick as I can."
