“Sure.” Tricia responded. They went into another room and made up Tracy. She was now going under the name of Rebecca. We traveled to the Building and Loan and walked inside. Jacie was sitting at the desk and Tracy and I approached it.
“Hi, and welcome to Nano Building and Loan, how may I be of assistance?”
“Hi, I’m Adam Schofield. My wife, Rebecca, and I would like to take out a loan.”
Jacie,
Something’s fishy in Building and Loan. Check out records of Jeanette and Emily and see if they were here the last few weeks. Come to my house tonight to get the tracer put on you.
Adam.

“Could you fill out these papers?” She asked, handing me them. I wrote a big message to Jacie on it:
We left the Building and Loan and went back to the house. That evening, Tracy and I had a quiet dinner in the dining room. Noah and Jacie were due in to hook Jacie up to be traced for Wednesday. Tracy and I went into the living room and awaited their arrival. Two cars drove up and Karin answered the door. Jacie and Noah came in and stood in the living room. “I didn’t want you to come all the way back down, but another tenant just appeared!” Jacie stated.
“Another one!?” I asked.
“That must be Nancy!” Tracy stated.
“This is crazy! If it was a kidnapping, why didn’t the kidnappers keep the girls for ransom?” Noah asked.
“Because it’s more than kidnapping. It’s brainwashing. Do you remember how Tracy said that they didn’t act like themselves? That’s probably because they aren’t.”
“But what do they all have in common?” Noah asked.
“When Tracy came into my office she described the girls as blondes that all lived on the same side of the apartment. What she failed to mention is that they all worked at the same place.”
“Nano Building and Loan.” Tracy stated.
“Correct.”
“So, you think this has something to do with the Building and Loan?”
“Possibly, but we need to know where these girls really were these past few weeks.”
“Well, according to the records, they were working those weeks. There are time counters punched in and out.” Jacie stated.
“But I didn’t see a one of them for that many weeks.” Tracy said.
“That’s entirely possible. If they were brainwashed they could go anywhere.”
“So, you’re saying that the Building and Loan is a front?” Noah asked.
“Possibly.”
“Possibly, possibly, possibly! Aren’t there any yeses?” Noah asked, frantically.
“No.”
“Well, at least he didn’t say possibly!”
“We must see what’s going on in that Building and Loan. Tracy, if I’m correct, there is still one girl missing?”
“Yes, Stacey.”
