Beep! Beep! Beep! Talia awoke to the sound of her alarm clock after hitting the off switch; she stretched and climbed out of bed. Padding down the hall to the kitchen she put on a pot of coffee, this morning she would definitely need it after being up all night on a stakeout with Antonio. Not that she minded. Hearing the phone ring she grabbed it off the receiver on the second ring knowing exactly who it was.
"Hey Talia."
"Hey," she replied stifling a yawn.
"Tired?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm exhausted. You?"
"Me too and I miss you," he said with a grin.
"We just spent the whole night together."
"I know but I always miss you when we're not together."
"Well I'll see you at work," she said biting her lip to keep from laughing.
"We can get breakfast before work if you want?"
"Sure, I'd like that. I'll meet you," she replied.
Antonio sat in a booth at the diner waiting for Talia; he glanced down at his watch wondering where she could be. Calling her cell phone he received no answer and he was really starting to worry. This wasn't like her at all, Talia was always on time and if she couldn't make or if something was holding her up she would call to let him know.
Talia had just finished getting dressed and was brushing her hair when she heard glass shatter, grabbing her gun instinctively she moved down the hall towards the sound of the noise. Looking around she didn't see anything out of the ordinary so she kept walking down the hallway to the living room where she noticed a picture broken on the floor, thinking that it had just fell down she put her gun away and went to the closet for a broom. All of a sudden someone hit her from behind and she fell to the ground and everything went black.
Antonio decided to go to Talia's apartment to see if she was still there, knocking on the door there was no answer. Trying the knob he noticed it was unlocked, he knew for a fact that Talia always locked her door being a cop had made her extra cautious.
Going inside he called her name and hearing no answer he looked around noticing the broken picture on the floor she wasn't there and he wondered where she could be. Antonio looked at the broken glass on the floor and couldn't help but think the worst, after all being a cop he had seen it all day in and day out. 'What if something happened to Talia,' he thought as he looked around hoping that he was wrong but that's when he noticed it, a few drops of blood on the floor near the closet.
Talia slowly opened her eyes to feel a throbbing headache, the back of her head felt sticky and she felt as though she had been hit by a ton of bricks. Opening her eyes a little more she noticed that she was in a dark room, it was so dark she could hardly see in front of her. Struggling to sit up she felt that he hands were tied behind her back and her head throbbed even harder. That's when she remembered what had happened, someone had come up behind her and knocked her out. Now she was tied up god knows where.
The feeling Antonio felt had finally turned to panic as soon as he noticed the blood on the floor, something had happened here and whether or not that was Talia's blood she was missing. He dialed the police station to talk to Bo, "Commissioner Buchannan speaking."
"Bo its Antonio," he said sounding worried.
"Antonio, what's wrong?"
"It's Talia, I think she's missing."
"Wait what happened?"
"I was supposed to meet Talia for breakfast and she never showed up, so I went to her apartment to see if she was there and she wasn't there either and I found broken glass and some blood on the floor."
"Alright Antonio, I'll be right over."
Antonio heard a knock on the door, "Antonio it's me Bo."
Antonio opened the door for the Commissioner and told him everything in detail showing him the broken glass and the blood.
Talia tried to get to her feet but as she moved the room spun in front of her eyes, before she passed out once again.
