Lacy here. Stupid brace is back but that's not going to stop me. So next chapter of Missing. Wow it feels weird to be writing a story with chapters instead of one shots. Though I'm still writing those but you get the point. Time for Don to get the call about Jess and for Jess to figure out just how screwed she is. Have fun.

Oh I know I said this was after the kiss but this is going to run AU after that cause I'm not going to follow the rest of season five. Just thought I'd clear that up.

Disclaimer: Like I said just because it's a different story doesn't mean I'm going to start typing it again.

Don stood at the edge of the crime scene where Jess was taken from watching the CSIs work. He knew he shouldn't be on the case but there was nothing that could make him leave.

"Don."

Don looked up from the ground when Mac called him. His heart sank. Mac was holding jacket Don had given Jess a few weeks before. It had been the only jacket she had worn since he gave it to her.

"Where was it found?" Don asked, proud of himself keeping his voice steady.

The crime scene was at a long abandoned playground. A body had been found under an old swing set, missing both its head and hands. Someone didn't want the person to be identified.

"It was near the body." Mac said. "And we found a syringe next to it."

"So, she was injected with something." Don said, this time his voice breaking some this time.

Mac nodded. "That's what it looks like." he looked at something in the distance for a second before looking back at Don. "Are you sure you want to work this?"

Don nodded. "I'll go crazy working some other case, Mac. I have to know what's going on."

"Alright, I'm heading back to the lab." Mac said. "Do you want to come with me?"

Don gave another nod and followed Mac back to the truck. Mac hadn't trusted Don to drive and made him ride with him and Stella while Lindsay, Danny and Hawkes took the other truck.

"Stella coming?" Don asked.

Mac shook his head. "No, she's going to stay and finish collecting what other evidence there is. I'm going to start processing Jess' jacket and the syringe."

Don took a deep breath. "Could you please be careful with the jacket Mac? It was a gift."

"From you." It wasn't a question.

Don let out the breath. "Yeah, from me."

"I'll be careful Don." Mac promised. "Want me to drop you off at the precinct on my way?"

Don shook his head. "I really don't want to see the captain right now. I just might deck him."

Mac didn't comment. He couldn't quite share Don's feelings, but he wasn't too thrilled with the captain either. If Don and Jess had been told about the Wilder Family leader escaping, they could have been on their guard and Jess might not have been taken. Don was right though, it would be best to keep the younger man far away from the captain until he cooled down.

Jess watched Colm Gunn paced in front of her. He had uncuffed her from the bed but recuffed her hands behind her back.

"You're going to pace a hole in the floor." Jess said after ten minutes of Colm's pacing. Damn, she had been spending too much time with Don and Danny.

Colm smiled at her in a way that made her skin crawl. "I'm just waiting for the right time to call your boy."

"Don't know what you've heard," Jess said. "but Flack is just my partner."

Colm laughed and pulled a picture out of the folder he was holding. He placed it on the bed in front of Jess. Jess fought the desire to blush. It was of her and Don just after she had fallen asleep the first time they had slept together. They had gone out to dinner on their fourth date and Jess had invited Don into her apartment. In the picture, she was wrapped tightly in Don's arms, resting comfortably and happily against Don's chest. Don was looking at her with a smile on his face as he ran his hand through her hair.

"How did you take this?" Jess asked, more then a little freaked someone had the ability to take a picture inside her apartment.

"I've been working on my escape for two years Detective Angell." Colm said. "I have many connections."

"Still doesn't explain how you got a picture of the inside of my place." Jess said.

"Air vents are wonderful things." Colm said before pulling out his phone. "Time to call your boy."

(A/N: I looked it up and that is the actual name of the guy who was leading the whole siege on the lab. E/N: I checked)

Don sighed as his phone rang, thinking it was probably the captain, wanting to know where he was.

"Flack."

"Well hello, Detective Flack."

Don froze where he stood, causing Mac to look at him in concern.

"Detective are you there?"

Don shook himself. "I'm here. What do you want?"

"Now is that really any tone to take with the man who has your girl?"

"Is Jess alright?"

Mac ran to the lab Adam was in.

"Adam start a trace on the Flack's phone. The gang leader is calling." Mac said.

Adam didn't say a word, he just started the trace. Don made himself move into the lab.

"Oh she's fine. In fact, I'll let you talk to her."

Don waited a few seconds.

"Don?"

Don felt himself breath for the first time in in what felt like hours.

"Jess."

"Nice to hear your voice."

Don smiled slightly. "Same to you sweetheart. God, you have no idea how good it is to hear your voice. Are you alright?"

"Aside from being injected with something that is making my arm and head hurt like hell, I'm great!"

"That's good to hear."

"Ok that's enough." Colm was back. "Now I know you want your girl back, so here's what you're going to do."

Don looked at Adam, who motioned for him to keep going. "I'm listening."

Colm relayed instructions for Don to get the drugs that were taken two years before.

"What do I do when I get them?"

Colm gave Don an address in Brooklyn to bring the drugs to. Then he hung up. Don and Mac looked at Adam.

"Did you get a trace?" Mac asked.

Adam nodded. "Yeah it's the address he just gave Flack."

"He might be serious about this." Mac said. "A clean switch."

Don shook his head. "We know these guys, Mac. It's never this easy."
