More than 24 Mike has been removed, Connie could no longer think, all his being was plunged in grief. If only she had been at her sister's maybe the kidnappers have not removed.

She was interrupted in his thoughts by Jack:

"Connie I preferred that as long as we do not know who kidnapped Mike you stay safe, no need to take the risk of a second kidnapping!

- Jack do you have any news on the analyzes of the car, and hide nothing from me, I need to know.

- Yes Lieutenant Van Buren contacted me, the analyzes show that Mike was wounded, but we do not know more. As soon as I have news I will let you know. But stay here in safety.

- You know the advantage of the office and it keeps me from thinking too much, I am suffocating here Jack, let me work.

- Well come with me, anyway going the font changing place regularly "

Meanwhile Bernard and Lupo were on a new track, one of their informant reported that he had this break to an abandoned factory. The car had not moved from the middle of the night until around 12pm. Knowing that in this factory there is nothing that seemed suspicious to him. Arrive at the factory the two inspectors take their precaution, if Mike is not here, it may be that people monitors.

First they were around the building, looking out the windows, all indications were that the chamber was empty. Colleagues began to penetrate within the plant ...

There a horrible sight awaited them, blood, whips, chains hanging from the ceiling, and a floor show.

"Lupo would seem that this is not shown Cutter?

- I think yes, but to be on would ask Connie ... ..

Bernard interrupted him

- Ti're crazy ! You're gonna say what we found was Connie watch the man she loves in a torture room ! In your opinion of what he still alive?

- I do not know and neither do you!

Lt. Van Buren stopped the quarrel between his two inspectors

Gentlemen I know all the clues in this plant suggests the worst, but as we have no certain proof of his death, that is to say his body, we must consider Mr. Cutter as alive. With regard to this watch give the the lab, they will tell you by DNA whether it is that of Mr. Cutter. Made sure that the plant is combed, and what is positive is that we found the car in the afternoon yesterday, so he was tortured before.

- Knowing that he spat blood in the trunk he was alive, heartbroken Bernard myself away, it is certainly the most painful guy, but Cutter did not deserve this.

- Another point inspectors, Jack warned me that Connie is the prosecutor's office, he desired to filter some of the information on the case, so be discreet about the information you give Connie a

- How to know what was gonna say Connie, so that one does not make for odd

- Made first your report and it will tell you what it is. "

Inspectors still watching this scene again, who could want as much trouble has Cutter. A scientist calls the police

"Gentlemen let all thought the victim was suspended by his arms, and then hit with these channels, or the whip. Both objects have traces of blood, I do these analyzes priorities "

They were unable to answer, certainly the relationship with Mike was never easy, but in recent months it was more affordable, less distant. He did not hesitate to come for a beer after work. Surely the fact of attending Connie had changed man.

They joined the teams out, tire marks were identical to that of the abandoned vehicle.

During the time is Connie prosecutor's office tried to focus but could not not think about Mike. She went into Mike's office, brushed furniture with his fingers, touched his chair as if seeking his presence. She took his baseball gloves and carried him to his face to inhale her scent, she thought was their last words

"Mike tonight I will not be at home I have to help my sister with her children, so do not leave the office too late!

- And that'll keep me? I'm used to sleep in the crook of your arm

- I'll call you just before you sleep, but why call me as soon as you came

- Promised Connie ... .I love you love "

Why do not I tell him I love you, cursed work that we all take our time, all our lives, if only ...

"Connie!

- Jack, you have news?

- Yes we know that Mike has moved between last night and yesterday morning, it proves that he was alive, and the indices we currently do not allow to say if he is dead or alive. We know that Mike is injured but nothing more.

- What are the clues? What kind of injuries, we have a chance to regain the Jack if he were alive we would have a ransom, exchange, I do not know, but something that let me believe that man that I love is alive!

- Connie I do not know any more, I'd say he's alive for sure but I can not. Courage "

Jack left the room leaving Connie alone in Mike's office, she was wandering like a ghost ship drunken pain. She grabbed the glove has carried him her face to hide her tears. She felt deep in her body live a pain, a pain that pierces you from within. Mike hurt, only, perhaps death, Connie fell a knee that thought, squeezing it against the baseball glove. She only hoped she could tell him she loved him ...
