Jem and the Holograms Page #8

The building's a fortress.

Security everywhere.

There's no way you're getting in

and out without some serious help.

Who said we had to ask for permission?

So, your plan is that? Okay. To break in?

I think I might be able to help.

Me too.

What are sisters for?

Okay, that was weird.

Maybe we should go get our earrings now?

- Yeah, we've got a lot of work to do. Let's go.

- Okay.

Oh, by the way, you're our way in.

Wait, what?

- Are you insane?

- I'm not asking you to give it to me.

I just need to borrow it for a

couple of hours. No one needs to know.

Sure. 'Cause nothing screams

"subtle" like your mom's car.

What's in it for me?

No, no, no. Don't...

No, no, no, no, no, no.

I don't want your dirty money.

I want access.

"Valet of the Damned"?

Have you never checked

your Facebook invites?

I invite you to every single show.

If you can get your mom to listen to

that demo, then we're in business, Rio.

I'll see what I can do.

Promise me.

Oh! Say, "I promise you, Brad."

Say, "Brad" at the end of it.

Listen to it in the car right

now. I think you're gonna like it.

What have I done?

Good evening, Ms. Raymond.

Hey! This is Starlight Enterprises.

This is where Erica Raymond discovered Jem.

And her awesome sisters.

I mean, like, seriously,

let's not forget how underrated they are.

- Okay. Yes.

- We are huge Starlight fans.

- Can you please take a picture?

- Oh, my gosh!

- Thank you so much.

- Oh, my God! I love it.

- Can you...

- Turn it, turn it.

- Sideways.

- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

- What, this way?

- Flash on.

- Yeah, thank you.

- Sideways.

- Flash on.

- Do you guys know Jem?

Mmm.

- I love it.

- We're good. Let's switch sides.

Can you actually do it with my phone?

Can you both take it at the same time?

- At the same time.

- Got an upgrade, thanks to Daddy.

- Face this way. This upgrade... Yeah.

- Okay. One, two, three... Jem.

- And the sisters.

- And the sisters.

I can't believe that worked.

Getting in is the easy part.

Getting out is slightly harder.

- Love it. Love it.

- Great, great.

- Okay, thank you.

- Thank you so much.

- Thank you.

- I really appreciate it.

Thank you so much! Oh, my God!

- It's one single key.

- Yes.

- Yep.

- Yes, yes, yes. I've seen that key before.

And, um, I...

I could've sworn that they

were here a second ago.

And I could've sworn that you had a job

at the beginning of this conversation.

So, my key to my car.

Find it, now.

Someone stole it?

Are you saying that to me?

Or are you asking me a question?

Yes.

Okay.

- Yes?

- Oh, Rio! Rio.

It's Rio, okay? Rio came in

here, and he was acting crazy.

He just took your keys,

and he took my demo.

He's probably trying to

stop you from signing me

and sharing our music with the world.

Aah! Nobody cares about your music!

Where did he go?

- Away. I don't kn...

- Zipper!

- Where did he go?

- Ow! Ooh. Starlight.

Starlight!

Everybody loves our music.

- That's all of my best guesses.

- We must be missing something.

Like, what's the most

important thing to her?

When you put it that way.

- Seriously?

- Security through insecurity.

- Is it there?

- Yeah.

What is that?

It's my dad's will.

- Search every room on this floor.

- Yes, ma'am.

- I know they're in here.

- Shoot!

It's Erica.

North side of the building.

You do the south side.

They're coming down the hallway.

How did they know we were here?

My office.

What are you doing?

Keeping...

a promise.

It's not bad. Who are these guys?

It's a distraction.

Yeah. They're new, right?

No one's here, ma'am.

Check security feeds

on the 25th floor.

We have potential intruders.

Copy that. Checking out

the surveillance feeds now.

Everything looks clear. Over.

Wha... Oh, I love this one.

Nolan. Robinson. Check this out.

It's a squirrel.

If a squirrel can water-ski, you

know, we can do anything, guys.

That ought to buy them some time.

- Whoo!

- Whoo!

Look at those chubby cheeks!

I just can't get over 'em.

- Just like...

- They're just so chubby and cute and delicious!

Aw.

Yeah.

Did you leave this open?

Put the building on lockdown,

and put a guard at every exit,

and tell them to look

for Jerrica and my son.

They leave here under no circumstances.

She's playing that show

tonight. Understood?

I think it's safe to

say they know we're here.

- Got any ideas?

- Yeah. Yeah, wait.

- Uh...

- I've a whole bagful. Can you hold that?

Okay. Well, where the

hell is Rafferty, huh?

- He's supposed to be here.

- He's on the schedule.

Uh... Uh, ma'am? Ma'am! We're

gonna need to see some ID, please.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry. Is there a problem?

Oh! Um, no, no, no.

No, there's... there's no problem.

We actually don't need to see ID.

I know exactly who you are, Jem.

Perfect. 'Cause I was

just leaving for the night.

Sorry. My-My daughter would kill me

if I... if I didn't get an autograph.

- Of course. No problem. Let's do it.

- Big fan.

- We know all the words.

- Do you have a pen? Oh.

If you got young

blood, live to party

- Come on Something, something

- That's...

Those aren't the words, but okay.

- She says it's the new "Let It Go."

- Really?

- Yeah. Her words, not mine.

- Thank you.

- From Frozen?

- Yeah!

- Do you have a pen on you?

- Thank you. No, I don't have a pen, actually.

Guys, pen? Yes! Thank you.

Oh, perfect. Okay.

- Do you...

- Head shot. Like, an 8x10 would be great. Glossy.

- I don't have anything on me.

- Check this out.

- Maybe we could do it another time.

- Right here. She's gonna freak.

- Oh. On your arm?

- Yeah.

- Oh, okay.

- Thank you so much.

Yeah. Uh, what is your daughter's name?

You just put down "Stephen."

Okay. "To Stephen."

- Boy names are popular for...

- Right.

girls nowadays.

"Heart, Jem." How old is she?

Oh, she... she's... You know, kids.

- Thank you so much. This is so... Thank you.

- Yeah, no problem.

- Got it!

- Have a good night.

Ow!

- Jem, you rule!

- You do!

She was all over me, by the way.

She was.

Come on, we got this.

All right, here we go. Level check.

It's working. No, I think it's

working. Is it working? Yeah, I know.

Jerrica.

Are you there?

Jerrica?

Pretty cool, right?

If you're seeing this, then the curious

little girl who used to sneak into my workshop

has grown...

into the strong, resourceful

woman I always knew you'd become.

And overcome losses that

no child deserves to face.

And I'm so proud of you.

When I found out how

little time I had left...

I knew I needed to

leave you something.

Try to...

To try to teach you the lessons

that I most wanted to pass on.

To never fear the unknown.

To create your own destiny.

To use your gifts to...

inspire people.

So, I built Synergy.

She's my way of saying good-bye.

She?

And I left you that trail of clues

that you were brave enough to follow,

even though you had no idea where

that adventure might lead you.

The pier.

That was the one place where your
