1979 (#12) - The prostitution ring, Chris's kidnapping and Rose's arrest

While Stuart is busy straightening out his tangled love life, the eldest of his daughters, Chris has overcame the crisis with Snapper months ago, happily dedicating herself between love life, family and work. During this period, it is precisely her job that keeps Chris busy, as a matter of fact she's writing an investigative report on a very dangerous and increasingly prostitution ring. Snapper expresses his concerns about the potential danger of such assignment, but Chris, who has always been very sensitive to this issue, has rejected his concerns and reassured the man that she was being very careful. In the meantime, Chris begins the investigation from two young teenagers involved in a prostitution ring run by a woman named Rose De Ville, who already has many precedents. When Chris goes directly to her to gather information, Rose denies knowing the two girls in question and immediately warns her henchman, Vince Hollyday, to follow Chris and watch her movements, since she asked too many questions. When, following the disappearance of one of the two girls, Sharon Kelly, Chris returns to Rose again, she orders Vince to take care of her. After putting her to sleep with chloroform, Vince then takes her to the basement where Sharon was also hidden. Rose's plan is to sell Chris and Sharon, now too dangerous, to another trafficker in South America. Snapper and Brock, fearing for Chris' safety and not finding her anywhere, immediately warn the police, that immediately suspect Rose. When questioned, she claims she does not know the woman; however, Rose herself immediately realizes that she has betrayed herself when, on repeating that she has never seen the woman before, she pronounces her first name: Chris. With the help of the police, therefore, Snapper and Brock save the two women, and Rose and Vince are immediately arrested. For at least some time, both will no longer be able to hurt anyone.
