0124 - "Looking for Daniel" [1/29/07]

silvermoon · Post by **silvermoon** » Tue Jan 30, 2007 12:20 pm

That's one of the things that is just freaking me out. If it's true that Daniel left with this local...WHY? Why would he leave with some man he just met?

If it were a girl, yes, we can see how she could charm him into leaving with her. But just to take off with some man he just met? Knowing that the Order has been after them all this time?

So that leaves me with several thoughts:

1. The man is someone Daniel already knew, going back to the "Daniel is bad/he's setting them up" theory.

2. Maybe Daniel had his drink drugged, and the man "escorted" him out of the bowling alley before he completely went down (we know the Order isn't above using drugs on these kids).

3. Maybe the man told Daniel that he had some information that could help them. "Come back to my house and I'll explain everything".

I'm having a problem with the fact that Daniel would just leave with a strange man at this point.

Of course, we could be back to the fact that we basically only have Jonas' word that Daniel left with anyone at all. Maybe Daniel was intercepted before he ever got into the bowling alley.

Or, heck! Maybe the entire town is an Order compound, and THEY ARE ALL IN ON IT TOGETHER!!

Okay, it's time for another video already!

The local Daniel met at the bowling alley knew Jonas. What if Daniel found out somethings about Jonas, like maybe Jonas' parents weren't lost at sea (like Jonas did somehing to them) and is investigating it... And the text that Bree got was stating that Jonas was no good.

Reason i think this is because the way Jonas talked about that he used to hang out there...

Another interesting possibility

This is an interesting theory.

The whole "Oh, you're staying with that boy? Don't you know that story behind his parent's death? Come back to my house and I'll show you the newspaper clippings (that I conveniently saved) about the investigation into their "disappearance". They never could prove anything, but some people think that they are buried right there on the property!"

OK, that doesn't really have anything to do with the actual ongoing plot, but it would make things pretty darn interesting!

Edit for bad quote marks...twice, because I'm lame, lol

For some reason...I flashed to this old 80's movie...I can't remember the name. But, the babysitter would kill the family and in the beginning, as she's leaving one family and preparing to start with a new one, it shows the kids in their beds covered in plastic. Now I'm having scary visuals of what's in Jonas' parent's room, lol.

perhaps they have forced him to follow it

daniel isn't so stupid that it is not gone back to home to tell what has happened

If Daniel was following this stranger to get info about Jonas, it's kinda sucky that he left Bree there though. I mean, I guess he wouldn't really know if he should trust the stranger, but still.

I do agree that this stranger is somehow tied into Jonas telling us he used to hang out there...Maybe Jonas does know something he isn't saying, or the stranger does.

Kasdeja · Post by **Kasdeja** » Tue Jan 30, 2007 1:24 pm

We already know Dannyboy spills his guts when drunk, maybe he's stupidly trusting in other ways, too. Also, did Daniel drive there or did Jonas drop him off? If he drove...where is the vehicle? We never heard about the vehicle Bree stole, either.

I definitely think our little Jonas knows something about this "regular"...

They knew where they were going before they left?
I said this before up there. He wasn't that far ahead of them, he could easily fall back behind them again, it doesn't look like there are many exits on that stretch. He could of pulled ahead so that Jonas and Bree don't notice this white van behind them the whole time. If it bounces back and forth ahead and behind them, it could just be a random person headed in the same direction type thing.

Looking way too closely at the videos, I'm pretty sure they are different vans. The one in the parking lot is a brand new model, like a rental, with those taillights up high. The one on the road is an old model (like 10 years old) with low taillights and signage.

BUT I still believe that the guy in the white van was watching them and could very well have followed them. I favor the theory that it's Brother.

I'm glad you said that, cause I don't think they are the same van either. I am more apt to believe that the van in the parking lot was the one we were supposed to notice.

Could Jonas be the local that Daniel left with? Certainly Daniel would have enough sense to not leave with someone he did not know (especially since he was not drinking, as he did not have his I.D. and had such a rough time before). Leaving with Jonas would have been perfectly normal for him. Jonas DID ask Daniel if he had his cell phone so that he could call Jonas if he strikes out. Maybe Daniel called Jonas to come pick him up. Bree said that Jonas had been calling Daniel and highway patrol - had he really been calling? Jonas went into the bar to ask about him - did he really ask? Bree said that Jonas was up really late the night Daniel disappeared.
That basically sums up my line of thought

Hmm. The way I interpreted the video is that Bree and Jonas went together into the bowling alley the first time, and the bartender told them both that Daniel was drinking with and left with the local dude. So it can't be Jonas, because he was asking the question. (The bartender would've said, "he left with you - don't you remember?") Jonas and Bree went back out to the car, planning to go home, but then decided they'd better check LocalGuy's house, so Jonas went back in to get the address.

So Jonas is not the local guy, IMHO.

What's got me thinking is the TIMING of the text to Bree. It arrived just as Jonas was asking about LocalGuy's address. I think the message meant that going to LocalGuy's house was a dead end or worse, and it was texted by the guy by the white van. Dun dun dun!

Edited for grammar

Well, maybe Danny boy figured he just didn't have the best of luck with the ladies so he switched teams.
