Feeling refreshed, Michael woke up from his nap with a smile on his face. He could not wait to see his little angels. He got out of his بستر and walked to the closet to pick out some clothes for the day. He moved the clothes around in his search. Finally he picked out a black short-sleeved شرٹ, قمیض and black pants. He went into the master bathroom, took a شاور and brushed his teeth. Then he got dressed and put on his black penny loafers. After he had put on his shoes, he left his room and went into the nursery.

"Dada! Dada!",cried Blanket happily when he saw Michael and held out his arms to be picked up.

Michael smiled and took him out of the crib. Then he kissed and hugged Blanket.

"Daddy! Daddy!", cried Prince running into the room.

"Hi, my little Prince.",Michael said.

"Let's go play, Daddy!"

"Okay, but let's wait for your sister first."

"Okay, Daddy."

Grace walked سے طرف کی the nursery carrying a basket of clean laundry.

"Grace, will آپ go wake Paris up?", asked Michael.

"Yes, sir,Mr.Jackson", Grace said.

She walked down the hallway to Paris's room. A few منٹ later she came back to the nursery.

"Paris is not in her room."

"Maybe she is in the playroom. Thanks,Grace."

"You are welcome, Mr. Jackson."

Michael and the two boys went downstairs to the playroom. When they got there, he was dismayed to see that Paris was not in the playroom. He set Blanket down on the floor.

"Prince, stay here and play with your brother. I'm going to go look for your sister."

"Yes, Daddy."

Michael walked into the kitchen. He knew that sometimes after her nap Paris would go there for a snack.

"Hi, Michael", Kai greeted him.

"Kai, have آپ seen Paris?"

"No, I have not seen her since lunchtime. Maybe she is in the theatre."

"Thank you."

Michael went to his theatre and she was not in there either. I know. She's outside in her playhouse.,he thought. He walked outside to the playhouse and was disappointed again because she was not in the playhouse. Michael refused to get upset and he sat down to think. He knew that she had to be in the house. He decided that she was playing his پسندیدہ game Hide n Seek. He went upstairs to look for her again.

"Mr. Jackson, have آپ found Paris yet?", asked Grace.

"No. Have آپ seen her?"

"No,sir, but I'll go ask the other servants."

"You do that.", he کہا walking down the hall.

Grace walked downstairs. She asked Kai and all of the servants if they had seen Paris and they کہا no. She was not happy with the news and she knew that Michael would not be pleased when she told him what Kai and the rest of the servants had said. She just knew that he would lose it and there was a very good chance that she and the rest of the staff would be fired. She walked back upstairs to tell Michael the bad news.

"Mr. Jackson, I have some bad news.", she said.

"Grace, please don't tell me that nobody knows where my little girl is.", he کہا quietly.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"I asked آپ not to say that to me.", he کہا in a trembling voice. Then he ran downstairs yelling Paris's name. He looked all over the house again still calling her name, but it was no use because she was gone. He walked back into the living room.

"I WANT EVERYBODY TO STOP WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND GET YOUR ASSES IN HERE RIGHT NOW!!!!", he screamed.

When all of the employees walked into the living room, he read all of them the riot act.

"I am surrounded سے طرف کی a bunch of incompetent idiots! Now everybody in this room I would like to think has common sense, right? I mean it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that a 4 سال old little girl is not supposed to leave the house without supervision. What the hell were آپ people doing anyway?! Sleeping on the job?! Why didn't somebody stop my daughter from leaving and why didn't somebody tell me that my daughter was missing?!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jackson, but I thought that she was sleeping in her room."

"Why didn't آپ check on her, Grace?", he demanded.

"I don't know."

"You don't know? Well, answer this question. What the hell do I pay آپ for?! آپ are supposed to watch my children! That is what آپ are here for! Give me one good reason why I should not آگ کے, آگ your sorry پچھواڑے, گدا right now!"

He turned his attention to the rest of the servants and continued his tirade saying, "I should آگ کے, آگ all of آپ because آپ are all incompetent! My little girl is missing and it is all of your faults! I want آپ people to find her right now and don't come back without her یا don't bother coming back at all! Now get the hell out of my face!"

When he heard the yelling, Prince walked out of the playroom and Blanket followed him.

"What's going on, Daddy? Why are آپ yelling? Where's Paris?", he asked.

Before he could answer, Michael burst into tears. Prince and Blanket were shocked because they had never seen یا heard their father yell before. He was usually so calm around the children. Michael was ashamed that his children had heard him lose his temper and he began to cry harder.

"I want my sister! I want my sister!", cried Prince and he and Blanket began to cry too.

Because Michael was emotional, Kai called Katherine and told her everything that had happened. Katherine listened quietly and reassured her that she and the rest of the Jacksons would come over right away. Grace called Diana Ross and Elizabeth Taylor. Both women کہا that they would come over and help Michael too. Then Grace took the hysterical children upstairs.
