"So did you guys have fun last night?" Alex asked.

"Oh loads." Cody yawned, "Lots of pearls. I counted close to six hundred. "

"Cody was bored out of his mind. It wasn't what he thought it would be like," Monica replied.

"But the night did get interesting after Donovan showed up and he spotted an old flame." Cody added.

"Really?" Alex asked, "Spill."

"He made her nervous, for one thing." Cody said.

"Yeah, she seemed a little relieved when we walked over to them." Monica said

"So why is he in a foul mood right now?" Jake asked.

"Found out she's married." Cody added. "He met the husband last night."

"If you're done with the office gossip, get to work." Donovan growled walking down the stairs. "I have a meeting with Bloom, I'll be back later."

"Lovely, he'll be in an even better mood when he comes back." Alex muttered lighting a cigarette.

"Do you have to smoke right now?" Jake complained.

"You going to tell Donovan?" Alex asked him.

"No."

"So shut up," she snapped.


Navy Pier

"Kelly, slow down." Ann yelled after her daughter. She's always had a hard time keeping up with her daughter on roller blades.

"Yes Mommy," Kelly smiled, stopping so her mother could catch up to her.

"Next time we'll go on the Ferris wheel," Ann promised. Of course after I sedate myself first, she thought. "Take my hand so we can cross the street."

As soon as the light turned green, Ann and Kelly skated across the street. Everything happened so fast, neither one knew what happened. A man walked up behind Ann and knocked her into the wall.

Dazed, Ann saw the man grab her daughter and toss her into a van. "Let go of my daughter!" she screamed going after the man, who backhanded her, the blow caused Ann to fall to the ground. The man jumped into the van, and it sped away.

"Ms. Watson, are you okay?" the doorman asked running up to her.

"My daughter!" she yelled, "They took my daughter!"

The doorman proceeded to run after the van, not sure what he could do. "Call the police!" he yelled into his radio as he watched the van turn the corner.



Federal Building

"Mr. Davis, there's an Agent Donovan here to see you." the secretary said over the intercom.

"Show him in." Mark said standing up behind his desk, "Agent Donovan, I am surprised to see you here. I really didn't you'd call, I admit."

"Call me Frank," he said sitting down, "I want to know the real reason you want Ann and I to talk."

"No ulterior motives Frank." Mark said, "I just thought you and Ann would like to catch up on things while she's in town."

"I don't go after married women." Donovan stated.

"The thought never entered my mind." Mark said.

"Excuse me Sir," the secretary interrupted, "there's a Sgt. McMahon from the Chicago Police Department on the line. He said it's very important."

"Excuse me for a moment," Mark asked Donovan, picking up the receiver, "Mark Davis. What? She all right? Oh my god, I'll be right there."

"Is everything okay?' Donovan asked as he watched Mark hang up the phone.

"It's Ann." Mark said leaning back in his chair, "She was attacked in front of her building."

"Is she okay?" Donovan asked, concerned.

"They took her daughter!" Mark told him, grabbing his coat. "I have to go."

"You're in no condition to drive. Give me the address so I can have my team met us there." Donovan offered.

"Lake Point Tower. It's across the street from Navy Pier. Apartment 2587." Mark said walking out the door.

"Cody, it's Donovan," he barked over his cell phone. "Get the gear ready and met me at Lake Point Towers, apartment 2587. Yes, the building across the street from Navy Pier."


Ten minutes later they pulled up to the building. Chicago Police cars surrounded the front of the building. Donovan flashed his badge as they walked in, and they were ushered up to the apartment.

Ann was sitting on the couch, head in her hands. She looked up and saw Mark walk in. She ran over to him.
"Oh Mark, they took my baby!" she sobbed, "She's alone and scared!"

"Hey Donovan," Jake said walking up to him, "What's going on?"

"Someone took Ann's daughter," he explained shortly. "Monica, I need you to pull up everything on mark Davis and Ann Watson." Donovan ordered. "Cody, set up the phone and computer over there. Jake, Alex, see what you can find out form the doorman." Turning, he looked at the distraught woman. "Ann, I need to ask you some questions." Donovan said, gently.

"What's he doing here?" Ann asked Mark.

"He was in my office when the police called. He's here to help." Mark replied.

"In your office? Why?" Ann demanded, "What did you tell him?"

"Ann, remember me from last night. I'm Monica. Why don't we go in the other room and get you something to drink." she said leading her into the kitchen.

"Okay Davis, what's going on?" Donovan demanded, "Does she know who took your child?"

"Uh, excuse me," Cody said interrupting, "but Mr. Davis, your wife is on the phone."
