1 Day Missing
Disclaimer: I do not own House or Third Watch. If I did, I'd be in heaven. Also, I would be hugging Hugh Laurie and Jason Wiles all the time.
A/N- Sorry it took so long to update. I had really bad writers block. Thank you to Bubbles1994 and HuddyIsDaBest17 for their reviews. Hopefully, this chapter will get more. Lieutenant Duncan from the NJPD is my own character.
"Caralyn Alyssa House! Answer this phone immediately!" House yelled into his phone. Caralyn was supposed to be home 1 day ago. This was his 12th call to her cell phone. He insisted she bring it. He finally decided it was time to call the cops.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"My daughter has been missing for a day and she's not answering her cell phone."
"Okay, sir. Is it possible she stayed longer?"
"No. It was a school trip and her friends already returned."
"Did you ask them where she was?"
"Yeah, they said she caught a ride with her boyfriend. He hasn't returned either."
"Okay, sir. The NJ police are understaffed, so they can't help. But I can ask the Lieutenant and he'll probably request help from the NYPD. They'll be able to help. I'll have the Lieutenant call you as soon as possible."
"Thank you so much."
At the NJPD, things were hectic. They were understaffed and crime was happening left and right.
"Lieutenant Swersky?"
"Yeah?"
"This is Lieutenant Duncan from the NJPD. I have a report of a missing child. The NJPD is understaffed, so we have no way to search for her. I was wondering if you could send some people to help search for her."
"I guess I could. I'll send my best people. No problem. As long as you help pay for the hotel and stuff."
"Of course."
"Okay, I'll go tell them. You're getting Officers Yokas, Boscorelli, Davis, Sullivan, Finney, and Monroe. Beware of Boscorelli, he'll chase after anyone. Yokas can probably stop him. They already know how they're partnered with. Good bye."
"Bye," he said as he hung up the phone.
In NY:
After roll call, Lieutenant Swersky was doing assignments.
"Okay, time for assignments. There's a missing girl in New Jersey and their police department is understaffed, so we'll be sending some people to help. Yokas, Boscorelli, Davis, Sullivan, Monroe, and Finney. You're going to help find her. Both police departments will pay for your food and hotel accommodations. We'll just take people from foot patrol and desk and put them in squad cars. That's it. Go."
"Aw, Lieu. Why are ya stickin' me in that rat hole they call New Jersey?" Bosco whined.
"Bos, stop acting like a 4 year old. It's a missing kid," Yokas told him.
"So, let it stay missing."
"No, Bosco. You'll be surprised to find out that the kid belongs to Doctor Gregory House. That famous diagnostician at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital," Lieu told him.
"Oh great, a doctor."
"Geez, what's with your fear of doctors?" Sully asked.
"I just hate them. They think they can poke and prod you all they want and you won't mind."
"Maybe they do that just to bug you," Yokas said.
"Or maybe you torture them so much, they just want to torture you," Sully said.
"I don't know. They just enjoy it. I can see it in their faces. Are we going to go meet the torturers in New Jersey or what," Bosco asked, almost out the door.
"Chill, Bos. We're going," Yokas told him.
"Yeah, let's go," Sully said. They went to go get Finney, Monroe, and Davis, then they left. They took the squad cars they were always assigned to.
In NJ:
Cuddy and House were watching out of Cuddy's office window, waiting for the police to show.
"House, I know you're worried about Caralyn. She'll be fine. I'm sure the NYPD will find her," Cuddy told him.
"Really, Cuddy, really. How do you know? Do you know where she is? You know if the police will find her? What if she's unconscious? Or worse, dead. Don't say that unless you're sure it's true," House sniped at her.
"Calm down. There's no need to be snippy. Look, they're here," Cuddy said, pointing out the window to 3 NYPD squad cars pulling into the parking lot.
As House and Cuddy made their way towards the front door, the cops were walking in.
"Are you Doctor House?" Yokas asked the gruff diagnostician.
"Yeah. Are you the cops that are gonna help find my daughter?" House asked.
"Yes, I'm Officer Yokas and they are Officers Boscorelli, Davis, Sullivan, Monroe, and Finney," Yokas said, pointing to each of them.
"I'm Lisa Cuddy and as you know, this is Doctor Gregory House," Cuddy told them.
"Do you have any idea who would've wanted to kidnap your daughter?" Monroe asked House.
"I think it might have been her boyfriend, Scott. He has relatives up there. He hasn't returned, either," House said.
"Okay. Well, we'll need to interview people who've met Caralyn, along with her friends," Yokas said.
"I'll lead you to my team. They're the only ones who've met her here, besides Cuddy," said House.
"Okay, may we meet them?" Yokas asked.
"Of course. I'll lead you to them right now," House told them.
