Alright. Here is part two. Hope you all enjoy. Took awhile sorry to get it worked out between school and all. I'm getting ready to start number three.
"I do get to be best man right?"
"I don't know Danny we haven't even set a date yet."
Sam grinned and looked over Kate. "Sounds like Starsky and Hutch are coming in."
Kate laughed. "I always did like Starksy."
"Thanks." Martin leaned over giving her cheek a kiss.
"No problem Marty." She grinned at him.
"So when exactly are the two of you getting married? You've been engaged since what?" Danny asked sitting on the corner of Sam's desk causing her to scowl at him.
"May Danny since may. It's been only three weeks since then." Kate said with a smile.
"So?" Vivian prodded.
Kate laughed. "Sam is my maid of honor."
"Danny's the best man."
"Vivian I want you to share in the maid if Sam doesn't mind." Both women nodded.
"And the date." Martin took a deep breath. "Is still to be determined. Coffee?"

Jack tossed folders out around the table. "New case people. Our missing person is 19 year old Jason Torodova. Moved here from Bulgaria about two years ago to finish High School. Was originally an exchange student but since has begun working on his citizenship. Has a serious girlfriend Hannah Davis she's on her way in. He was going to NYU for a history degree and film and photography too. Went missing last night after getting into an argument with Hannah's father about marrying her."
"Nothing else?" Sam asked pushing through the papers.
"Has worked at different place's his last was a library not far from campus. You and Vivian can start going through his records here anywhere."
"So we at least know that Hannah didn't run away to be with Jason." Kate commented flipping through her files trying not to grin as Martin rubbed her leg under the table.
"Not yet." Jack said. "She was heard talking to him last night on the phone then possible on line. Her father was very angry this morning when I called so we need to see if we can keep her and him apart when we talk to them. Danny you and I get the girl and her father. Kate you and lover boy go and talk to his places of employment and anyone at the school."
"Got it." Martin and Kate grabbed their things.
"Oh and Kate you're still on light duty don't forget."
"Yes father." Kate said with a roll before following Martin out the door.

"I worked at a library going through the academy. Boy does it bring back memories." Kate said as they walked through the rows of books to the main desk.
"I used to live in books as a kid until I got into sports." Martin said with a grin. "For some reason I can see you in here."
Kate laughed. "Thanks." They got to the desk and showed their badges. "I'm Special Agent Kate Thomas and this is Special Agent Martin Fitzgerald."
"How do you do can I help you with something?" The old woman asked at the desk.
"We need to talk to you about Jason Torodova." Martin sat a picture on the desk.
"Oh I'm new here you'd want to talk to Tom. He's in the history section he'd know."
"Thanks." Kate turned and began walking away.
"History section." Martin said looking at the books. "And that would be?"
"Well book worm. It usually means non fiction which is down here. And second it usually is the 970's depending on the type of history." She ducked down an isle. "Tom?"
"Yes."
Again after interdictions he nodded. "Oh yeah I know Jason. A cool kid. English isn't the best but it's getting better with practice. I know his girlfriend has been helping him."
"Have you noticed anything different lately? Like another girl or him getting a lot of phone calls?" Martin asked writing on the paper.
"No. Well Hannah's been coming in a lot lately. Usually in tears about something her father did. He's a real stickler for things. Ex Army I think. Once she had a fine of only fifteen cents and he really got mad at her started yelling and everything. That's how she and Jason met. Jason took the blame for the fine."
"How old is Hannah?" Kate asked watching as Tom kept shelving the books.
"Same age as Jason. She'd broken her leg when they first met so her dad had brought her in."
Kate nodded. "Thanks we'll get back to you if we need anything."
"Is Hannah alright? I mean she's a nice girl."
"Yeah she's fine." Martin said with a nod.
"Oh and Tom. You might want to check the books you just shelved. Criminal psych doesn't go in the history department." Kate turned and walked out.
Martin looked at her surprised and hurried to catch up with her. Once in the car he grinned. "Alright so what do you think?"
"I think the father has something to do with it maybe." Kate said ignoring the grins coming from Martin. She realized it had been a mistake letting him know about her college job. "Second I think our Tom has a bit of a crush on Hannah."
"Why?" Martin pulled out into traffic.
"Well he was more worried about Hannah than Jason for one. Second he seemed to know all about her and nothing about him."
Martin nodded. "Let's get something to eat and I'll call Jack."

Jack flipped his phone shut. "So Mr. Davis I understand that last night you got into an argument with Jason over marrying your daughter."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Well your daughter said she heard you and so did your maid before she quiet this morning."
"Listen he's not good enough for her."
"He's not or she's not."
"I love my daughter I want what's best for her."
"Then why did you tell him no."
"He's not from around here. He's from another country he can't even speak English correctly."
"Mr. Davis I'm sure neither could your family when they first came over here. He's scheduled to become a US citizen next week. Now we have a missing person and the last person to see them was you. Now either you tell us what you know happened to him without putting anything else on it. Or we will charge you with kidnapping and anything else I can think of."
Davis sighed. "Alright fine. We argued. I told him he couldn't marry her. I told him I didn't trust him. He got angry at me. Started yelling in what ever language he speaks. She came running in and tried to break us apart. I swung at him and hit her instead. He grew furious and came after me and I threw him out. I told him he could never come back or talk to my daughter. I heard them talking after that and argued with her about it."
"Did the argument get out of hand?" Davis shrugged. "Sit tight." Jack got up and walked out, buzzing Danny in the next room. Danny walked out. "Well?"
"She's scared Jack. Of her father. She's got bruises on her face and arms. Now she's worried that her father did something to Jason. She said Jason and her father got into an argument."
"Do you think she know's where he is?"
Danny nodded. "Yeah I do."
"If we let her go she'll find him." Jack said looking in the window.
"Yeah. But most likely she'll run with him to get away from her father. She told me her bags are packed to leave him."
"Let her go. We've got enough to keep her father here for a few hours."
"Jack."
"Neither of them have done anything wrong. I'll call the others."
"Jack."
"Tell her if she needs something call."

"I much prefer these kind of cases." Kate said sitting at a table with Martin.
"So do I. The paper work even seems a little less hard."
She snatched a fry from his tray, "you know we really should set a date."
He cocked an eyebrow at her. "I asked if you wanted fries."
"I didn't till now."
"You might want to wait until you've met my father." Martin commented taking a drink of his pop.
"Don't remind me it's this weekend remember? Why do I have the feeling like it might be my last supper."
Martin laughed. "Come on it won't be that bad."
"Yeah sure. He already doesn't like me after the Kim incident. I don't think he'll like me now."
"Listen I love you and that's all that matters. Whether or not Dad does I don't really care. He doesn't like a lot of things I do. Well just about everything but he'll get over it."
"I hope so."

"So you ready to meet the Deputy Director of head hunting?" Danny asked as the two came back in.
"Danny you're not helping." Martin said sitting down.
"He's not that bad." Vivian said turning in her chair.
"Oh no not at all." Sam said rolling her eyes. "He just thinks he's a god. You all must obey me. No one must deviate from what I say or else. I am the final word." Sam said with a chuckle.
"You should try being his kid." Martin said with a roll.
"Thanks a whole lot." Kate said shaking her head. "Anything new?"
"Danny picked up his waitress."
"And what a waitress." Danny said dreamily.
"Again anything new?"
