Lea to the Rescue Page #2

---

not the right girl for him.

Apparently, he hasn't

shown up for work either.

Maybe he just needs some

space or he's avoiding her.

Hi. ls this Bruno?

Or.-.

Hi, Bruno. This is

Carol Clark, Zac's mom.

Um... No. Yeah,

that's what I heard.

Um, listen, do me a favor.

Could you please give me the

number for the local police?

All right.

Okay. Thank you so much.

Mom. ls Zac okay?

Uh... I'm not sure.

I hope so.

Hello. Excuse me,

do you speak English?

Uh, yes.

Okay. My son has

been working in Manaus,

and I've been having

trouble reaching him.

Uh, okay.

I'm concerned

he might be missing.

He is 20.

Two days.

Wow.

Hello.

Hi, is this you I just called?

Please, don't hang up.

Please, please, please.

Don't hang up. Are you there?

Hello.

Lea, listen...

It's the poachers.

What?

What if they figured it out?

What if they found out?

What if they realized

what he was doing?

I don't know what

you're talking about.

He told me not to say anything

but he was trying to find them.

Find who?

The poachers.

Okay, honey.

I need you to focus.

I need to get us

on the 6:
00 flight, okay?

So, I need you to

get your stuff together

and pack a bag.

We've got to go.

But... I need you to

just act fast, okay?

Be swift, kiddo.

Got it?

I need you to move, okay?

Thank you.

Lea.

So. Any news'?

Well, we still

haven't heard from him.

Could he have

been in an accident?

We checked all the hospitals.

Luis is another

of our young interns.

Ola, Mrs. Clark.

You haven't heard from him?

No, not yet.

So, tell me, where do kids go? I mean,

he could not have just disappeared.

With all due respect, Mrs.

Clark, Zachary is not a child.

Well, he's my child. And he works

for you, and he's missing.

I'm sorry.

It's been a really long night.

I can imagine.

That is Zachary's

work space rig ht there.

My staff are anxious to help.

What about the poachers?

Poachers?

Lea is convinced that Zac's

been trying to find them.

Oh, Zachary knows that

is dangerous business.

We let the police handle

those sorts of things.

Your brother knows

better than that.

What did I tell you?

Twenty-year-old boys do not go

looking after poachers on their own.

Your brother would

never be that reckless.

Can I get you some breakfast?

Just a second.

Paula. Yeah... Oh, wonderful. Okay,

we'll be... We'll be right there.

Lea, let's go.

Paula.

Hi.

I gotta go to the police. Do you

mind if Lea stays here with you?

What?

Yes, of course.

Mom, I'm coming with you.

Please, honey.

I don't need a babysitter.

I know, but I don't wanna

have an argument, okay?

Why bring me all this way if I'm

just gonna sit here and do nothing?

You know what, you're right.

You're absolutely right. I did

not plan this very well, did I?

But here we are,

and I really need now

for you to co-operate

with me, okay?

Don't worry we'll be fine.

Thank you.

Son.

Do you want to

draw or play a game?

Seriously?

I wanna find my brother.

Okay.

Listen to me, try to relax. I'm sure

he's fine. He's probably just...

Probably what?

If you thought he was fine,

we wouldn't have traveled all

through the night just to get here.

How about a snack, hmm?

I'm not five. I'm 10.

And I can't just sit here

and do nothing.

I know he's over 18,

but he is not

the kind of kid that...

Oh! He's not the kind of

person that doesn't call.

He always calls.

Dona Carol, maybe

he's angry with you?

No, he's not angry with me,

he's not a runaway.

I am sorry, but with

no signs of foul play

the best thing I can

do is add to the pile.

And maybe you can

come back in a week.

What's the problem?

Uh-uh. Lea, uh, you should not

be snooping through his things.

You're snooping on his computer.

I'm constructing a timeline

of the last few days.

Lea.

He had a notebook.

It was black and skinny and had

little red markings on it.

I don't know.

I went to his place of work.

I spoke to his boss, they

haven't seen or heard from him.

Is he at the girlfriend's place?

No, no, he...

My son is missing.

Is there another girl?

No, he hasn't gone

to any other girl. He's...

Somethings wrong, I know it.

Just a moment.

Okay.

Let's go.

These are his leads.

No. He stopped with the

poachers a long time ago.

What if he told you that so

that you wouldn't worry?

Look!

There are addresses in here, and names.

We should check them out.

Or at least drive by.

Lea, your mother

told us to stay put.

If it's nothing

then we'll come back.

But we can't just sit here.

We can't just sit here

and do nothing.

Okay.

Okay.

Thank you.

There it is.

Zac's secret research was a plan

to buy trinkets to bring back

for friends and family.

These bracelets are beautiful.

Do you want to try one?

They're wish bracelets.

Tie one on and make a wish.

I'm telling him

we're looking for someone.

I'm sorry,

I don't recognize him.

He's my brother

and he's missing.

Oh, that's terrible.

Have you spoken to the police?

Yes, they've been notified.

You know, why don't you

give me your number?

In case he does come in.

Here.

A little gift.

We can use any help we can get.

That's right.

Look!

Look! Look!

What?

The paw print.

In the bottom corner.

It's all over Zac's notebook.

That can't be a coincidence.

Okay.

Put your helmet on.

Oh!

Aye!

What?

The tire is completely flat.

Well, then we've gotta go.

Oh, yeah? Are you going to trek

across the Amazon on foot?

No...

But we can't...

Look, Lea, please

listen to me, okay?

I want to find your brother

just as badly as you do, okay?

But this is not the way.

Who are you calling?

No one.

I can't keep a signal.

Well, we can't lose that truck.

Lea' you know

nothing about the Amazon!

Do you have any idea

how dangerous it is?

Even if we were

remotely dressed for it...

Then it's a good thing

I'm with an "expert."

Lea! Lea!

"Oh, you're going

to love my sister."

"She's got a great imagination.

She's got spunk."

Just stop it

right now. Lea!

Lea, stop it. We need to go

back before it's gets too late

and your mother realizes

you've kidnapped me.

Lea!

Hey, Lea!

Please, listen to me.

The truck!

The final call on Zac's cell

phone came from this office.

What does that mean?

Maybe nothing.

But it was after hours.

Excuse me, Bruno, who worked here

late the night Zac went missing?

That was me.

I called him.

Sorry, I didn't

think anything of it.

I invited him out to hear a band.

Good dance music.

We like to go and have fun.

What did he say?

He was already out.

I assume he was with Paula.

That's okay.

Go ahead.

I'm sorry I can't be

more help, Mrs. Clark.

You know, there's a club down the

street he likes, Noites Quentes.

Do you think he could have

been there Tuesday night?

It's possible.

They open at 9:
00.

We'll be there.

Thank you, Luis.

Thank you, Bruno.

Ah! Do you know

what's in that water?

Piranhas, anacondas,

black caimans, leeches.

I'm trying not to

think about that right now.

Besides, don't you study
