** How guilty is Freddy Reyes of failing to protect his brother Miguel from their abusive stepfather? His dialogue implies that he barely knew the stepfather, and a comment about him being on parole indicates that he was in prison and/or living outside of the family home (especially since Miguel met his wife or girlfriend at some point before being arrested) for at least some of the time Miguel was being abused. Given how his brother’s inept lawyer never used the abuse as a manslaughter defense, Freddy may never have known for sure what happened between his brother and stepfather until Aiden tells him off for not protecting Miguel.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: In the ''Kidnapped'' trilogy, Aiden struggles to reconnect with his old best friend Richie, feeling he lacks the perspective to understand what Aiden went through and finds something about it awkward enough to avoid Aiden. After Meg is kidnapped, Richie comes over to lend his sympathy and help, but barely does anything beyond that, besides giving Aiden a DitchTheBodyguards disguise, when he could have provided some additional help and had more scenes exploring and repairing his friendship with Aiden.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Throughout the series, the siblings steal things and cause damage to some property to survive on the run and often wonder about how they will make it up to specific people and whether it is unrealistic to expect they will be able to invoke WrongfulAccusationInsurance. Nonetheless, the sixth book ends with a simple comment that all charges against them have been dropped without a word about how that was done or what, if anything, was done to compensate or appease the people Meg and Aiden had to rob.

* {{Adorkable}}: Aiden may mostly be a serious ActionSurvivor and KidDetective, but he gets the occasional moment (his discomfort about riding a horse, his memorizing of his dad's cheesy HardBoiledDetective novels, a NoodleIncident about him needing to sort his Halloween candy alphabetically, etc.) that is simultaneously silly and adorable.

** Despite driving each other nuts, Aiden and Meg are willing to do anything in the world for each other and protect each other countless times, up to and including each being willing to sacrifice themselves to save the other from [[spoiler:Hairless Frank]] in the climax of "On the Run".
** The entire Falconer family being out of jail, cleared of all charges, and reunited at the conclusion of "On the Run".
** Several scenes with Meg and "Mickey" in ''The Search'' (from "Kidnapped").
*** When Meg is thrown down into the basement in the second book, "Mickey" is there to tend to her injuries, unlike his comrades.
*** "Mickey" giving her a birthday cupcake. Just the idea that he went out of his way to cheer her up and provide her with a simple sweet is very endearing.
** Emmanuel Harris works tirelessly to find Meg and keep Aiden safe throughout the "Kidnapped" trilogy, even after it's no longer officially his case. It culminates in him jumping between the siblings and an angry bear to protect them in ''The Rescue''.
** Related to the above, when John Falconer asks how he and his wife can repay Agent Harris for saving their children, Harris only asks for them to forgive him. John, seeing how much this means to Harris, agrees, and the two exchange a handshake.
