Shark and navy were outside the mall talking and walking.

"So how much have you learned" shark asked.

"Well from what I found, Delia left a will in a Chinese box"

"Was that why you were in downtown China, you were hoping to find the box"

"Yeah I also found that someone knows about and is trying to stop me, they warned me through phone calls"

"No kidding, I been getting phone calls too and if I'm right, they're going to be calling me again saying they have princess"

"We just have to be careful where we step"

"Indeed till then I need you to go home and stay put till I come back"

"Where you going?"

"Snooping for answers"

Then back at home, many was saying good bye to ned.

"I wish you could stay longer"

"My mom said if I stayed past the weekend...
...that she'd turn my room into a den"

"Really?"

"Anyway, Nancy, I just want you to know....that I'm truly sorry about your friend...princess, she seems like a really nice Person In fact, she seems friendly and not you typical-average blonde Rich plastic Barbie doll who's father gives her everything she wants"

"Ned!"

"Anyway, I truly am sorry about her, I do wish you the best of luck that you and that detective find her,

"Ned, can I ask you a question?"

"Mm-hm"

"Can you tell when a girl is thinking how much she likes you......wondering if you like her, thinking how important it is how you feel...
...before she says anything more about how she feels about you......because she's already saying
how she feels in her own way?"

"Can you repeat the question?"

Just then, Ned's cab arrived, "Your cab's here.
Sorry to see you go, Ned"

"I'll, uh, see you soon"

"Bye, Ned"

Then when she was inside her house, she sees a present on the table, it was from her dad: it was a cellphone.

Then she heard a knock on the door, it was shark and he brought Jane with him.

"Detective shark?"

When he walks inside, behind was Jane.

"Jane, are you all right?"

"I found her in a homeless shelter"

"Child Protective Services, they-They took her. They took Allie.They said I was an unfit parent,
but it isn't true. I didn't do any of the things that they said"

"Uh, come in, come in" Nancy offers her inside.

In the living room, shark was explaining everything to her dad.

"You're always able to help people"

"I can certainly try. Why don't you come
downtown tomorrow?"

"I will. Thank you. Thank you so much"

But then...

"Sure. What's the connection? How did you two meet?"

"I'm Dehlia Draycott's daughter"

"You're what? Wait"

"Dad, it's so late"

"Allow me to explain" but shark steps up, "it's part of this case I'm working on and well-well your daughter is friends with my daughter so you teens" shark chuckles.

"Oh right" the two chuckle

And Nancy saw how shark winked at her, she was relieved.

"Well I'm going to bed. Good night"

Shark and Nancy waved at him, "Uh, listen, I have to tell you something. Right after you first found me, someone came to my apartment. Uh, a man. He said if I ever tried to prove that I was Dehlia's daughter, that I would regret it.
That's why I was afraid to talk to you that time."

Shark overhead as he watched for her dad to be gone.

"What did he look like?"

And as Jane identified him, shark took out a pad and pen to draw the description.

"He was big. Um...Dark hair. Scary. And he had one pale blue eye and one very, very dark"

But then outside of the house...someone...was watching them and he filled the description.
