  Oh, I hope we're doing the right thing.

  What do you mean?
• Jenny:
  Maybe we should just go to the police.
• Luke:
  We can't. You heard what the kidnappers said.

  We will.
• Jenny:
  I hope so. I just don't know.

  Rob, hi.
• Rob:
  Hi Jenny.
• Jenny:
  Any news?

  It's snowing really heavily, and there aren't any flights to London. I don't know when I'm going to get back.
• Jenny:
  Oh Rob, that's terrible.
• Rob:
  I know, but I'll keep trying.

• Jenny:
  Is there anything we can do?
• Rob:
  Yes actually. I've been thinking about dad's message. That "old man" business.
• Jenny:
  What about it?
• Rob:
  He must be telling us where he is. It's the only explanation.

  Listen, Jenny. I think you'll have to go back there.

  Bye Jenny. And be really careful.

• Jenny:
  Did you get that?

• Jenny:
  We'll have to go when it's dark.
• Luke:
  But they still might see us.
• Jenny:
  We can sneak in the back way. There's a footpath.

  Ah, good idea. I know that way really well. I used to play around there when I was a kid.
• Jenny:
  We'll need flashlights though.
• Luke:
  I've got some.

  Okay. We'll have to be careful, but we just might be able to do this.
