Imogene hardly believed it as she saw Lana hail a taxi anti the two girls vanished inside.

Imogene wasn't very good at tailing, but she managed to keep the taxi in sight as it headed downtown. It headed into one of the huge office parking lots. The two girls got off and went inside.

"What?" Imogene gasped. She stopped the car and Donna got out, running fast.

She was back in a moment. "They headed for the basement!"

Imogene found a parking space and they came back. The main door of the office building was locked, despite all the pushing they tried.

"Oh my God!" Donna gasped. "What is going on?"

"What are they doing?" Imogene screamed and pounded on the main door again.

It clicked and opened.

The two of them were too relieved to think. They rushed inside and ran down the basement stairs. At the bottom was a set of ornate doors. Imogene pushed and the doors swung open, revealing a long carpeted corridor. She and Donna stared down the passage while the door closed silently behind them. There were only a couple of doors in the corridor, halfway down it. One of them opened and a tall man came out.

"Can I help you?" he asked.

"Yes!" Imogene said defiantly. "We've come to find our daughters. Lana and Scarlette."

"Ah, yes! In here!"

Imogene and Donna came along the corridor, feeling more and more uneasy. The man stood and waited.

"The doors are locked behind us," Donna whispered, but Imogene didn't take any notice. The man waved them through the door and came in behind them, closing that one too. Imogene and Donna stood and gasped.

It was a massive room, with cubicles, doors, heavy carpeting and steps up to raised areas. There was a hint of steam coming from under one door and laughter from another. Another man stood on one of the raised sections, a drink in his hand.

"Where are our daughters?" Imogene asked, trying to control her breathing. "What have you done to them?"
