"Is she going to be ok?"
"Olivia, what were you thinking? And you, Mars? How'd you let this happen?"
"Don't blame him. It was my idea. I thought it would cheer him up by taking his mind off of things. If you're going to punish someone, punish me."
"I'll deal with you later. Come on Jewels, breathe. Breathe….That's it."
"Sss…sso..sso…so... cold."

"WHERE IS HE? Don't play dumb with me, Vanilla. I saw Blade hand over Mars to you. WHERE…IS….HE?"
"I don't know, I promise. He was…..He…..Mars? MARS!!!!"
"Daddy, I think he took off when you yelled at him for what he did."
"For what he did? What uh….what did he do?"
"See for yourself.

"What do we do now Mr. Falcon? The house is empty."
"What did you say?"
"I said what do we do now? The house is empty?"
"That last part again."
"The house is empty?"
"Exactly!!!
...…You two, search the tent, you two; the woods. He couldn't have gone far."
*Errr….eee…..diuuushhh*
"What was that?"
"Everybody hold it. Are you sure you said the house was empty?"
"I….I….I thought so?"
"Nine One One!!! Nine One One!!! Come on…pick up."
"Nine one one, what is your emergency?"
"Hi, this is Olivia from Vanillas tent. There are a couple of guys outside and I think they want my elephant."
"ELEPHANT, you said?"
"Elephant?"
"Yes, they came here tearing up our driveway and demanded to know where he was, but I don't know where he was. We were playing in the pool and I was having fun with my sister, and I got carried away. One thing led to another and now…now…*sniff* They took her."
"Who took her? Where's the elephant? Are they still there?"
"The ambulance took her. I overheard one of the guys calling the other Mr. Falcon, but as I said, the elephant took off."
"Pst, keep her talking."
"What…uh…can you tell me the name of the elephant, ma'am?"
"His name?"
"Yes!!"
"Oh. His name was...no…is….Mars."
"Yeaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We got him. I need a team assembled yesteryear. Go, go, go."
"Are they still outside?"
"They said they'd come back in a few once all lights are off."
"Then we'll be there waiting. Whatever you do, do not apprehend him on your own. We'll be coming to you as fast as we can. Just hold tight, and stay out of sight. Jim is not to be trusted by any means. Leave him to us."
"How dangerous? Will he try to steal my animals? What if he…..hello? Umm…hello?......Hello?
