you There are kids in this world who are different. Special. They look like us and they act like us. But they are not us. decibels dad why so loud oh good you're still here where else would I be holiday is gone she took her bag her hoverboard but she left her phone so we couldn't track her Did you know about this? Well... You knew about this! I wasn't sure she'd really go. I just told her...

Well, I told her if she left, I would understand. Why would you do that? She's my sister, and we've all been lying to her for a year. If she needed answers, it's my job to support that. Fair? Not fair. She's a kid, Cyrus. Holiday was being hunted. Is being hunted. I get it, Dad, but she's confused and hurt, and I'm the reason why. Dad, this whole mess, it's all my fault.

After we found Holiday, you ordered us to accept that Holiday was our sister and keep up with a lie. And that was hard enough. But you also expected us to believe your story. I... I couldn't. None of your answers to our questions made sense. The police dropped a missing persons case in a few hours? Come on. Anyone who's watched a cop show on TV knows that's crazy. And you guys weren't exactly acting... normal. So you decided to, what, take up an investigation? Kind of.

I have a binder filled with news articles, notes I made when you guys were acting weird, search listings of random names you and mom would mention. Anything that would give me a clue as to what was going on. And then Holiday found the binder and that's what set her off? Dad, I swear, I didn't tell her until she asked. Until she had her own suspicions. But, yeah, then I told her the truth. However much of it I knew. Cyrus, why didn't you talk to us? Honestly...

We thought you'd just keep lying. We didn't know if we could trust you and mom. But we knew we could trust each other. We were partners, and then Birdie joined in, and... We were a team solving a mystery felt fun fun It's not like I'm picked first for kickball dad It was nice to be captain of something to you know have my own crew But now it's all falling apart. Everyone is just lying and hiding and running. It's not fun or exciting anymore. It's just scary and sad and it's my fault. So...

That's what you've been going through This is not your fault I think your mom and I underestimated you I am so sorry we put you in the middle of such a huge lie And you're right. This is scary. We didn't want to cause either of you this much pain. Sai, we raised you to do the right thing. And you did. You and your sisters. Together. Your mom and I messed up. We make things up as we go too, and sometimes we make a mistake. But now Holiday's in danger. We need to find her, Cyrus.

Soon. Any leads? Sorry, Mom. She left without a word. No more secrets, Cyrus. That team of yours? We're all on it. You, Bertie, me, Mom... And hopefully soon, Holiday too. Okay, Dad. James, we can't stay here while she's out there on her own. She's got the board and she's smart. She's not coming home unless she wants to. Then we have to hope she does.

You guys sit tight while I make sure the house is safe. Monica, does anything look like it's been moved? No. The kitchen is exactly how I left it. We should check upstairs. Did the bad guys touch my stuff? I have to make sure Ernie the Octopus is okay. Mom, Dad, do you think the Whittier Corporation or whoever has ID'd Holiday yet? I think if they did, they'd be here. But we need to find her before they do.

How do we do that? It's not like we can call the cops. We have to get a message to her. But how? She doesn't have a phone. You let us handle that. If Mom and I go out, you'll stay here and keep an eye on Bertie? Sure. Dad? Yes, I? I know I let her go, but... bring her home, okay? We'll do our best. Ernie, where are you? I'm here. Hey, what are you doing in Holiday's room? Nothing. I just saw Ernie the Octopus hanging out on your bed with T-Rex Henry. A-okay.

Is anything else missing? Duh. Yeah. Holiday. Thanks to you. Come on, Bird. Why do you let her leave, Cyrus? I heard you tell Dad. You said you'd understand if she left. Well, you know what? That was stupid. So, you do know. Bertie, Holiday just found out she doesn't have a family. We're her family. You know what I mean. She has so many questions she needs answered. Then she'll be back. But what if she decides not to come back?

What if we never see her again? Of course she'll come back. We're a team. We're family. She'll come back. She has to come back. She has to. Right? Hey, I'm Ryan Shanahan, and I play Badger in six minutes. For more great adventures, go to gzmshows.com. Shh. It's starting. GZM Shows. Imagination.
