Title: Black Marble Sand
Disclaimers: Don't own any of it.
A/N: This was my NaNo for one of the years I did it. I set it during the 12th Season of ER.
"How could she disappear. She wouldn't just disappear Detective."
The Detective nodded, "When was the last time you saw her?"
"She left her office at six p.m. on the dot...but, I think she stopped by the ER." The Detective nodded, "She has a son Detective, she loves him so much...and that poor girl..."
The Detective nodded as she closed her notebook and handed over a card. "If you think of anything else, give the station a call."
"How long did she stay down here?"
Jane tilted her head back and forth. "Ten, fifteen minutes. She wanted to get home to her son. I asked her a couple of questions, she answered, she talked with Doctor Luka Kovac for a half a minute and then left."
"You saw her leave?" Jane nodded, "Doctor Kovac, he's from Croatia?" Jane nodded again, "Has there ever been any...animosity between the two?"
Jane shook her head, "He seems to actually get her. Uh...look...I need to get back to work." She took a card and went towards the admit desk.
The Detective closed her notebook.
Kimberly Legaspi reclined in the most comfortable chair in the world and sipped at her hot chocolate at a relaxed rate. The newscast was about halfway done, but she hadn't really caught much of it. The only reason she was watching was to find out just how badly the Cubs had gotten trashed. This was Not The Year.
"And in National News, the search for Doctor Kerry Weaver continues in Chicago." The hot chocolate had no chance, neither did the pants or shirt, the floor and chair did manage to survive as Kim jumped towards the television, hitting the volume up button multiple times in rapid succession, but the Newscaster had moved on. She flipped through the other channels, but there was nothing.
She got up and opened her cell phone, she scrolled down, "C'mon, c'mon...damnit..." She found the name and hit call. She waited what seemed like forever, "He, is what I just heard on the National wrap true?" She waited, "They didn't say how long, how long?" She listened again, "Wait, what? Not even Carter?"
Kim moved over to her purse and pulled out her keys and searched through them for half a sec, "Can't they just, shit, isn't there some sort of adult Amber Alert they can send out?, wouldn't they...Oh...thanks." She paused, "Yes, I'll call you when I get in."
She closed the phone and stared at it for a moment before she started to try to find a ticket to Chicago. She had one other brief thought. Her boss was going to kill her.
