David Tanaka (played by Takaya Honda) is desperate for information on missing baby mama Nicolette Stone on Neighbours (Channel 5, 5.30pm - see our TV Guide for listings).

David's dad Paul Robinson (Stefan Dennis) has got his private investigator John Wong (Harry Tseng) on the case looking for Nicolette.

But the wait for news on Nicolette is too much for David.

David has already taken some time off work after getting stressed-out over the situation.

But the doctor has an idea to use Erinsborough Hospital's electronic patient file system to try and locate Nicolette.

It's a risky move and David shouldn't be doing it.

Unfortunately, just as David is accessing the system, Karl Kennedy (Alan Fletcher) catches him in the act!

David's career and reputation are now on the line...
