Abduction Page #3

Synopsis: High school seniors Nathan and Karen find a website with photos of children who are missing or believed abducted. One of the photos is of Nathan as a child, putting into question the identities of the couple whom he's always called Mom and Dad. Contacting the site to learn more only results in Nathan becoming the target of an intense, high-tech, international manhunt.

Phone use by either of them only connects directly to a man claiming to be C.I.A., in whom they find reasons not to trust. With encroaching shootouts, car chases, hand-to-hand combat and explosions around them, this seems quite much for a mere case of child abduction, and Nathan can only rely on the wrestling, boxing and martial arts skills taught by his "dad" to protect both himself and Karen as they follow a lead to find Martin, Nathan's biological fa

You should know that your 10-page research paper's

going to constitute 75% of your mid-term grade.

Oh yes, yes. I know, I know,

Lives have been ruined.

But you know what Mr. Miles

To share the work load.

- Hi, how are you? What a surprise.

How're you?

I'm doing all the work for you

on that research paper. You got that?

Got it.

You still like games.

When was the last time you're here?

When you had a bunk bed.

Wow?

Hey... You kids want something to eat and drink?

Or more pillows to sit on the floor?

Mom.

Okay.

You want the door open or closed?

Close it.

Please.

We should probably get to work.

It says here 2,300 Americans were

reported missing everyday.

I found a website

about missing kids here.

They have height, weights, age,

favorite foods...

Medical reports,

check it out.

Last place they were seen,

people they affliated with, everything.

I'll send you... this link.

What's that story I heard about you waking

up in your underwear on your lawn, after the party.

Just a practical joke.. Hmmm!

Not worth explaining.

And I had pants on, yeah.

I thought your boyfriend was gonna

take a swing at me that night.

He's not my boyfriend.

What you say to him, anyway,

to make him back out so quickly?

I told him that you'd kick him in his big fat head

and embarrass him

in front of everyone

if he didn't stop acting

like a dick.

- How'd you know I would have kicked him on the head?

How long have we lived across the street. Can you tell that, Nathan?

Hey, check this out.

What is it?

I found a site that shows few mock ups of

missing kids might look like today.

And if you recognize the person, you can click

on a child and text. Hmmm...

- Check out those guys!

Jason Statham meets,

Justin Bieber.

Seriously!

Next.

Ryan Seacrest meets...

Lady Gaga.

Next.

Matt Damon

meets...

That doesn't look like me.

Nope, you're right. These stuff are not you.

This kid's too cute.

Send me a link to that site?

Yeah.

My uncle's coming to check up on me,

cause my folks are out of town.

When did you wanna start outlining?

How bout' I come over in an hour?

- Yeah yeah, awesome.

Bye.

Weird.

You put it on my food now.

Martin and Lorna Price.

Hey, what's going on?

- Hey, where do you think you're going?
