Neal sat at Peter's desk only being able to think about Kate while he waited for Peter to come back. Peter was in a meeting with Hughes and everyone else that actually mattered in this building.

Thinking back to when he woke up this morning, something felt off. He could just feel something was going to happen today. Something bad.

A phone ringing brought him out of his train of thought.

"Neal Caffery."

The only noise heard on the other line was slow heavy breathing.

"Hello..."

As the breathing continued he felt a presence behind him. Thinking it was Peter he quickly turned around.

"Peter come hea…" A pistol pointed straight at his forehead was the only thing Neal's mind could focus on.

Before he knew it the gun was slung back and hit him straight across the face, making his world go black.

Leaving the meeting Peter felt nothing but tired. The only thing he could think of was he was going to have to go back to his office with Neal being nothing but annoying wanting a case to start. Walking down the narrow hallway toward his office, he looked through the glass and noticed that Neal wasn't in his office and his chair was knocked over.

Entering he saw blood all over the chair and on the floor. About to yell for someone to get in there, noticed a note and a present sitting on his desk.

He slowly read the note:

If you haven't noticed by now we have your precious Neal, and you won't get him back until you give us what we want. In the box is a web cam, this way you can check up on Neal whenever we feel necessary. You have one week to give us what we want or Neal is dead and the longer you take you add on $10,000 dollars in having to pay us. But don't worry we'll play nice with our guest.

Peter ran toward Hughes office and opened the door.

"Peter?"

"Neal's gone."

"What do you mean he's gone?"

Peter gave Hughes the letter. "I figure we'll place the web cam in the conference room."

Hughes yelled for the tech guys to hook up the web cam and anger covered Hughes features.

"I knew getting Neal in this would be nothing but trouble. Peter get your team in the conference room now." Hughes commanded.

Once in the conference room the web cam was turned on, everyone sat on edge. For the first few minutes the screen was black.

Peter held the laptop that the web cam was connected to waiting for something to happen. The laptop started flickering so the tech guys quickly fixed everything so it can be watched from the TV which hung from the wall.

"Well…hello my friends." The voice caused everyone to look at the TV. The voice continued "If you haven't noticed I have hacked into your computer system. Now for the fun to begin."

On the screen was a body tied to a chair. The persons face was down; there was blood all over the person's shirt. Everyone knew who it was, but couldn't bring it in themselves to believe it.
