When Kai and Grace saw Joseph Jackson, they were scared that they would get fired on the spot. But he reassured them that everything would be okay and asked what happened. They told him the whole story and he listened quietly. Grace also added that Paris had been missing since nap time. When she was finished, he repeated everything that they had sagte to Jackie and to the rest of the brothers.
"I think that we should ask the neighbors if they have seen Paris.",said Jackie and all of the brothers agreed with him except Jermaine.
"I think that we should look for her on the ranch first.", he said.
"Jermaine, they already looked for her on the ranch and they didn't find her.",Marlon sagte patiently.
"Maybe they overlooked the ranch. Besides its the size of a football field. Paris could still be here in a place that they didn't check yet."
"I agree with Jermaine.", sagte Randy.
"Fine. Tito and I will go to the neighbors to look for her. Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy can teilt, split up and look for her on the ranch. If we don't find her, we are going to go to LA and the suburbs to look for her. We might have to go to Encino, Malibu, and Beverly Hills, so we better be prepared.", Jackie said.
The brothers agreed with him. As they were leaving the house, Tito sagte angrily, "If I was Michael, I would feuer all of those sorry employees."
"Not now Tito.", Jermaine said.
After she heard Tito's comment,Grace ran upstairs.
"I'm going to the police station.", Joseph said.
"What?! No way! If they get involved, the media will find out and just run with the story. I don't even want to think about the lies that they will say about me! That is last thing that I need right now!"
Joseph sighed and sagte calmly,"Michael, be reasonable. Your daughter has been missing for two hours and nobody doesn't know where she is. She could be kidnapped for all we know."
"Joseph!", cried Rebbie, Latoya, and Janet together.
Diana and Elizabeth glared at Joseph.
"I'm sorry that I sagte that.", he told them.
Then he turned back to Michael, who was sitting in a chair.
"As her father, it is your job to do whatever Du have to do to find your daughter."
When he sagte that, Michael went from zero to anger in a matter of seconds. He jumped out of his chair and the chair fell to the floor with a bang, but he did not care.
"DON'T Du EVER Frage MY ABILITIES AS A FATHER IN MY HOUSE AGAIN! DO Du UNDERSTAND ME, JOSEPH?!", he screamed eyes blazing with fury.
Joseph was taken aback Von Michael's fury. He started to argue with him, but the look on Michael's face told him that would not be a good idea, so he just stared at him.
At that moment Katherine stepped in between Joseph and Michael because she was scared that Michael would hit his father.
"This is not the right time to get into an argument. We need to stay together and support each other as a family.",she said.
Joseph glared at his son and said, "I don't care what Du say. I'm going to do what I have to do to find my granddaughter."
Then he stalked out of the living room and slammed the door behind him.
After Joseph had left,Latoya and Janet went upstairs to check on Prince and Blanket, but Rebbie stayed downstairs.
For a long time, it was silent in the room. Then the phone rang and Michael answered it.
"Hello?...Bill, did Du find Paris yet? What?!... What have Du been doing all this time?!...Damn it! I don't want to hear any excuses!...Find her now!"
After he hung up the phone, Michael began to cry again.
"Michael,you have to be strong for your children.", Katherine sagte gently.
"She's right. Du can't let Prince and Blanket see Du like this.", Diana said.
"Your children need Du right now and Du have to be there for them. Paris will come Home and everything will be fine.", sagte Elizabeth.
"I need to be alone right now.",said Michael and ran upstairs.
