"Antonio does Talia have any enemies, anyone who might want revenge?" Bo asked.
"Well she did put a lot of people in jail who could want revenge but why would they go after her and not me? I am her partner."
"Maybe someone she put away while in New York?" Bo questioned.
"I don't know anything about that time, she doesn't really talk about the past," Antonio replied wishing he knew more about her, anything that could help him find her.
"Alright, well I can access her file and see what we find."
"Let's go." Antonio replied knowing they would find nothing else here at Talia's apartment.
Talia opened her eyes again, finally the throbbing had turned into a dull ache and she was able to sit up. She looked around into the darkness trying to get a handle on where she was. She was in a large room with a cement floor and walls, there were large wooden crates stacked around the room, possibly a storeroom or a loading dock. Struggling to stand up she noticed for the first time that her feet were bound as well.
At the police station Antonio and Bo sat in Bo's office going over Talia's files looking for anyone who may hold a grudge against her for arresting them in the past. They made a note of certain names of people who were no longer behind bars and Antonio noticed for the first time just how long that list was. There were so many names and so many of them could hold a grudge. She was a great cop and she had had many arrests in her past.
"This could take forever to go through all these people," Antonio said adding yet another name to the list.
"I know, but don't worry we'll find her." Bo replied putting his hand on Antonio's shoulder for support.
Talia tired to wiggle her way out of the ropes binding her hands but it was no use they were tied extra tight. Sitting up again she tried the rope on her feet as well just as she heard the door open, in the darkness she could hear someone walking towards her but she couldn't make out their face until they stood directly in front of her. She glanced up in shock his was the last face she expected to see ever again.
Antonio and Bo had been going over the list for an hour now and they still had no leads after going down the first few names on the list they noticed that these people were not going to be that easy to track down.
"Bo we're not helping her like this, what if she's in trouble. We should be out there looking for her."
"Antonio she's a good cop, she knows what to do. I'm sure she's fine but if you have any other ideas of how to find her I'm all ears."
"No, No I'm sorry Bo. It's just I wont be able to live with myself if something were to happen to here."
"I know Antonio, that's why we have to do everything we can to find her. And we will, trust me we will not rest until we do."
"Thanks Bo. I don't know what I'd do without your help."
"Hey Talia's a part of this squad and that means she's like family," he said patting Antonio on the back with a smile.
"What do you want? Talia asked trying to hide the fact that she was scared out of her mind. Sure she was a cop and in any other situation she would have been fine but this man was truly a monster and she was tied up and left without a weapon so there was virtually nothing she could do.
"What do you think I want?" he replied with an evil grin. A knot formed in her throat as she thought, 'I have got to get out of here.' But just as soon as he said it he left the room to her relief, but he would be back. He was probably just trying to prolong the agony.
Pushing the last of the files away Antonio wrote the final name down and searched the computer to see if an address was listed. Luckily there was, so he added it to the list next to the name before slowly making his way further down the list. Beside him Bo was calling in favors from cops in other districts for the locations of people listed on the computer. Three hours later they had compiled a list of all the names and addresses of the people she had arrested in New York. They were unsure if it was even a person on the list but it was really all they had to go on. They had to pursue it for now.
They sent out officers to check out groups of the addresses on the list but so far none of them had panned out, it was getting late and they were near the end of the list but Antonio would not stop until he found her.
