"Love comes to those who still hope although they've been disappointed, to those who still believe although they've been betrayed, to those who still love although they've been hurt before" - unknown

Ch 1

Rossi was furious and extremely worried. Alice had disappeared from her hospital room and there was no sign of her anywhere else in the hospital, he was watching the security footage now. He didn't understand this; the only person that had entered Alice's room was, indeed, her little sister Natalie. "You have cameras outside of the hospital right?" he asked.

"Yes we do," the security guy said switching to the outside footage.

"There," Rossi said pointing to a man carrying Alice over his shoulder. She was clearly unconscious.

"Who's the kid?" the security guy asked.

"That's Natalie, her little sister," Rossi responded. The man tossed Alice into the back of a van. Natalie grabbed his arm and the man turned towards her. He pulled his arm away then shook her violently and shoved her into the van as well. "Can you zoom in on his face?" Rossi asked. The security guy did. Rossi snapped a picture of him and sent it to Garcia to see if she could identify him. He also got a shot of the van's license plate as it pulled away and sent that to her as well. "But how did he get her out? Her room was on the third floor." The security guy thought for a moment.

"Window washers….we had window washers here today….if her window was open…its possible he could have gotten in that way," he said. Rossi walked out and called Garcia knowing that she would be able to find out who was there washing windows faster than they could.

"Garcia did you get those pictures I sent you?" he asked.

"Yes I did," she said "And I have them running through every database I have."

"Good," he said. "And I need you to pull up every person that was washing windows at MedStar Washington Hospital Center earlier today."

"Done and done," she said. Not two minutes later there was a full list sent to his phone.

"Thanks Garcia," he said. He was a little surprised that he didn't get any playful sass from Garcia, but he chalked that up to her being too worried to be sassy.

…

Garcia put her head in her hands. "I can't believe this," she moaned, "we just got her back…how could she be gone again?"

"Knock knock," Morgan said coming in. "Hey baby girl." Garcia didn't look up. "Hey," He said putting his hand on her shoulder. "We're gonna find her. You know that." Garcia looked up at her screen. She had the face going through every database she could and there was still no match but she did perk up a bit when she found a result for the license plate on the van. She called Rossi.

"Sir I just got a result on the van's license plate," she said. "It's registered to Frank Whitman who was at the Medstar Washington Hospital Center washing windows this morning. He wasn't the one that shoved Alice in the van but he still could have been driving it or may know something. I just sent you his information."

"Keep it up Garcia," Rossi said.
