16 and Missing Page #3

or something, right?

There, Prescott, Arizona.

Looks like a restaurant.

Well, at least they're meeting

in a public place.

- I gotta get on the next plane.

- I'll take you to the airport.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Martin can set a plane up

for you, right?

- Yeah, of course.

- Okay.

That's so weird. What...

What...

What the hell's going on?

So you're telling me

there's no Gavin Brown

working at the Arizona

Police Department?

Well, there were a few Browns

but no Gavins.

Can you get into her Chatter account?

Oh, come on now, Julia.

You know our tentacles don't go that deep.

So the NSA can record

Germany's prime minister's conversations

but we can't get

into any social media sites?

Yeah, that's right.

Oh, that's insane.

Yeah, well, those Silicone Valley guys

have more money than us

so we can't even win in court.

Look, I'll tell you what, I'll...

I'll contact the San Jose office,

see if they can help out.

Call me back if you find anything out.

Thank you.

Jesus.

You sure we're not over-reacting?

We don't even know the whole story yet.

He is impersonating a police officer.

That's bad.

She's 16 years old.

I didn't even give her permission

to go down to the market,

much less Arizona.

No, we're not over-reacting.

- Okay.

- Definitely not.

- Have you heard from Daniel?

- No.

What about my mother?

I haven't heard from them

but I'm sure your mom

is worried sick about you.

- You should really come back home.

- I don't think so.

Because she doesn't care about me.

Gavin cares about me.

Abbey, how do you know if

anything this guy has told you is true?

Why would someone lie like that?

Are you really that stupid?

Okay, yeah.

Yeah, I guess I am.

You're a pretty 16-year-old girl.

He wants his way with you.

You're just jealous

because you don't have a boyfriend.

No, I'm not.

I'm perfectly happy.

What's wrong with you that you have

to drive all the way out to Arizona

- to meet a guy?

- Meet a guy?

I know him, okay?

I know everything about him.

We've talked every day

for the last two years.

Then why hasn't he come out to see you?

Why are you driving all the way out

to Arizona?

He has a job.

He can't just pick up and go.

Really? That doesn't make sense.

None of this sounds right.

Please just turn your car around

and come home.

You know what?

I don't need this from you.

No, you don't.

Okay, I'm hanging up.

- Goodbye.

- Abbey.

Abbey?

Gavin?

Hey.

What's wrong?

You look so much different

than your pictures.

Different how?

You look older.

Older?

I mean, my profile picture was

just taken a few weeks ago.

I don't know, I just...

I didn't expect you to look so different.

See, this is why we're perfect

for each other.

This is why we're amazing.

We have this relationship that's based

on so much more than just looks.

I've had the opportunity

to fall in love with your mind.

And you being gorgeous

- is just icing on the cake.

- Yeah, you're right.

You could literally have

the floppiest ears, the biggest nose

and it wouldn't even matter

because I've already fallen in love

with the beautiful person that you are.

I'm sorry, Gavin.

Hm, don't be.

You're so right.

Not yet.

Why not?

This isn't the right place

for our first kiss.

- It... it's not?

- No.

I imagined someplace epic.

Someplace beautiful, you know?

Not the porch of an old restaurant.

- Old guys staring at us with dogs.

- Yeah.

But I have the biggest day

planned for us.

So let's get going.

And then we'll end the end of the night

with some dinner

at the ranch and some wine.

- Wine?

- Yeah, wine.

You are a grown mature capable woman.

Surely you can handle

a little bit of wine?

- Of course I can.

- Of course you can.

So where's your car?

Oh, they don't let me use the patrol car

when I'm off duty.

Oh, okay.

- Do you wanna use mine?

- Do you mind?

- Do you wanna drive?

- Do you want me to drive?

- Yeah.

- Then I can drive.

Let's go.

Hey, sleepy head.

I'm not sleepy.

- No?

- No.

Well, you drove all night.

You must be tired.

I can't believe I'm here

and we're finally together.

Well, what did I tell you?

The moment you turned 16,

we could finally be together.

And here we are.

You know that moment

when Romeo first meets Juliet?

- Yeah.

- That's how I feel right now.

I feel like we were

in this expansive room

and I'm watching you from afar

and now, suddenly, we're close.

And pretty soon, I'll kiss you.

Okay, that's so romantic.

It's just what I feel, you know?

I know, but you always used to say,

like, write how you feel.

But I have to think about it.

You can just come out and say it

with such perfection.

Well, I do have a few years on you.

Hm, okay, that's true.

And you, you are so wise

beyond your 16 years.

I swear, you have the beauty

and a mind of a woman, not a child.

That's what fascinates me about you.

- So where are we going?

- You will just have to wait and see.

Okay.

- Do you like country music?

- Yeah, okay.

Ever since you sent me those songs,

it's all I've been listening to.

- I knew you'd like it.

- Yeah, I do.

Well, listen to this one. Relax, okay?

Take a nap.

Hey there, sleeping beauty.

You were really knocked out there

for a minute.

Yeah.

Well, I stopped and I got you some food.

- Yes, I am starving.

- Yeah, I figured as much.

Oh, fries.

You love me. You know me so well.

You sent me pictures of this view, huh?

That's right.

Yes, it's one of my favorite places.

I spend a lot of time here.

You know, just writing, thinking.

- It's beautiful.

- Just like you.

It makes quite the backdrop

for our first kiss, huh?

No?

You okay?

Yeah, I'm just...

- I'm just nervous.

- Nerves are good.

Yeah, they mean that you care.

And that you're excited.

- Are you nervous?

- I am so nervous with excitement.

Because I've been waiting

for this moment for two years.

Yeah, me too.

So okay?

All right.

- Thanks for asking.

- Of course.

Why are you stopping?

Hey.

What's wrong?

We should probably take this

somewhere a little more private.

Yeah.

How are you doing there, young lady?

Look at you.

- Hey, old man.

- Hey.

I'm tired but feeling good.

- How are you doing?

- Been better.

Yeah. You all right?

Let's go.

Now let's do what you came to do.

So what brings you to Prescott?

I got a feeling

there's more to the story.

Got a feeling you're not just down

on a little hunting trip.

It's my daughter, Abbey.

She has been talking to this guy online

for two years.

I had no idea.

She turned 16 and jumps in the car

to go meet him.

She must really be in love with him.

She's 16.

She doesn't know anything about love.

Besides, I have a feeling there's

something more sinister going on.

- Sinister?

- Yup.

That's a strong word.

He's 23.

You sure you don't wanna

maybe just break his legs?

That's why I'm here.

Yeah, well, you can do

a hell of a lot more

with what I brought you.

Oh, great. Check it out.
