Kim: Did you by any chance see Theresa and Stretch when you got in?
*Angie sets her purse down on the chair*
Angie: No, didn't she come back yet?
*Kim shakes her head, pacing the floor*
Angie: Should we call the ice cream shop?
Kim: I doubt they'd still be the--
Angie: Maybe they're still there and just got lost in the conversation...
*Not wanting to say anything, all three of them are thinking the exact same: what if Stretch did something to Theresa? Stretch was a pretty shady looking character and the way he kept eyes on her was a little more than suspicious. Could he truly have feelings for her or could it be that he found out about the map and plans to get all the information out of Theresa as possible then steal it? A couple hours pass by with curiosity and worry hanging heavy in the air, still with no sign of Theresa. The three decide to search the streets of Havana in hopes they'll find her safe. They head downstairs and come to the front exit when they see Theresa and Stretch walking through the entrance smiling and laughing. Kim, Angie and Clint all take a sigh of relief.*
Kim: Where have you been?! We've been worried sick!
*Theresa looks up to Stretch and smiles*
Theresa: Sorry Kim, we've just been talking for a couple hours...
Angie: The important thing is that you're safe.
*Stretch looks to Theresa and gives her a sweet smile and a gentle squeeze on her arms*
Stretch: Well, I better get on home; sorry I kept her out so late...
*Kim and Angie smile weakly, as if not to look bothered at all that their sister could have been killed by a possible mass murderer. Theresa and Stretch share a sweet kiss then Stretch walks out of the hotel quickly. The four walk back into their suite but Clint stands in front of the door looking at his watch*
Clint: I better get going, too...
*Angie walks up to him and smiles*
Angie: I'll walk you to your room...
*Theresa sits down on her bed and takes a deep sigh*
Theresa: Isn't Stretch so dreamy?
*Kim hesitates and clears her throat*
Kim: I think we should talk, Theresa...
*Theresa looks up at Kim curiously*
Theresa: What about?
Kim: Stretch may be handsome, but he also seems dangerous.
Theresa: Dangerous? Stretch?! Hah, he's as gentle as a teddy bear.
Kim: Well, he might be but we still have to keep cautious; remember what Dad told us--
Theresa: I know, I know, "Trust only family." But...
*She smiles blissfully*
Theresa: He could be family someday...
Kim: You haven't told him anything did you?
Theresa: Well...
Kim: Theresa!
Theresa: Only that we have a map! That's all, I swear! Besides, he doesn't know what it's a map to…
Kim: Promise me you won't tell him anymore.
Theresa: Only if you promise that I can continue seeing him...
*Kim hesitates then smiles*
Kim: Okay, but just be careful, all right?
*Theresa gives Kim a hug and leaps for joy*
Theresa: I will! Thanks, sis!
***Head Police Quarters***
Police Sergeant Sanders: Mike, we've been over this and over this; I know this case is small but--
Mike: Small? John, I've been in this business since I was a kid--my dad ran this academy! What I don't understand is why you're giving me this runt story and not to Bill who's only been on the job for a month!
John: Mike, you know why. The last investigation you were assigned to was your downfall; now I have no problem skimming over that and blaming it on the idiot newspaper woman who got in your way, but the boss says you need to prove yourself--showing him that you aren't losing your spark; this is your comeback.
*Mike goes to object but John puts his hands on his shoulders*
John: I know this is beneath you, but these girls probably don't know what they've gotten into and they need your supervision. I promise I'll keep the press away and I won't give them any information on your whereabouts. But there’s no way out of it, kid. Just think of it this way, by the end of this week you’ll have forgotten all about it with your feet in the sand of Hawaii…the boss likes you, Mike, you just have to do this little story and it’ll be past history; what do ya’ say?
*John lays the investigation document in front of Mike; he looks down and takes a deep sigh, shaking his head*
Mike: All right, but one slip up from these girls and I’m out…
*John smiles and pats Mike’s back as he exits the office*
John: Get your things packed and be back here in 45 minutes; we’ll get your train ticket ready and prepare you with the supplies you’ll need for the trip.
*Mike nods along, skimming through the document when John turns him around and smirks*
John: I’d be careful, Mike…I read up on these girls…they know what they’re doing…
*Mike chuckles and shakes John’s hand*
Mike: Sure; thanks, John.
*Mike walks out and heads to his apartment to pack*
*Angie sets her purse down on the chair*
