"Danny Messer." Danny answered his phone.
"This is Mike Johnson. I work at Shamrock Pub. You're a friend of Jen McCallahan's, right?"
"Yeah? What's going on?" Danny held his hand up to silence Don when he walked into the room. "Is she alright?"
"I haven't seen or heard from her in two days. She's not answering her cell or home phone. I've gone over to her apartment but she's not answering the door. This isn't like her; even when her brother was murdered…"
"Alright, I'll look into it. Thanks for letting me know." Danny hung up.
"What's up?" Don asked. Danny dialed a number.
"Mac, we need to add another person to that case. Jen McCallahan has gone missing." Danny watched as his words hit Don. "Yeah, he's right here. We're on our way." Danny hung up and looked at Don.
"How long?"
"At least 48 hours. Mac's heading over to your sister's place. He wants us over there. She's been missing for at least four days."
"Is there any connection?" Don regretted the way he'd treated Jen the other night at the pub. He was hoping to get a chance to apologize.
"Maybe, but we still don't know much." They headed to Sam's apartment. It was a mess.
"It looks like there's been a struggle." Mac said when they entered the apartment. "Don, you and Danny head over to Jen's apartment and let me know what you find."
"Alright." Danny agreed. Don couldn't believe what he was seeing. When they got to Jen's apartment it was clear that if she was kidnapped it didn't happen there.
"No, there's no sign of a struggle here, Mac." Don said as they searched the apartment. As they entered the kitchen they noticed that a bag of dog food had been ripped open.
"Siberia." Danny called. He had forgotten about Jen's dog. "Here, girl!" He whistled. They heard the sound of four paws heading their way. Don knelt down as the half Siberian husky, half wolf came around the corner.
"Hey, girl." Don petted her as she came to him. She whimpered. They looked the Jen's mail and other paperwork to see if they could find any clues that would tell them what happened. "I don't see anything."
"Neither do I. Mike said that she headed home shortly after you…"
"Threw beer on her." Don looked at Danny.
"And it doesn't look like she's been here since before work that day. So she disappeared on her way home."
"She takes the same route every night. We may catch something on surveillance." Don said and then called Mac and told him
"Alright, here's all the surveillance footage I got from the cameras around Jen's route." Adam said as the team gathered in the A/V room.
"Let's take it one at a time." Mac said and they got to work.
"I'm not seeing anything, but what I can tell you is that she was abducted around here." Don pointed at a group of businesses about two blocks from the pub.
"Are you sure?" Jo Danville asked.
"Her apartment is four blocks from the pub; it doesn't take her more than 20 minutes walking. She should have appeared in this camera no more than 10 minutes after she left this camera; but she never appears."
"Let's see if any of those businesses have cameras facing the street; maybe they caught something. Call that bank and see about the ATM camera." Mac said.
"Mac, there was a man on line one. He said he works for a law firm on 35th. They had suspicions that someone was casing the place so they went through their security footage. He's sending the file to us now; he said that we might want to see it for ourselves." Sheldon Hawks came into the room.
"Adam, open it." Mac said as soon as the file came through. "Freeze it there."
"He took her by surprise; knocked her out cold. Can we get a plate? Anything?" Don asked.
"Let's see what we get." Adam made a few adjustments. "'L1'. That's it; it looks to be the first two characters in the license plate. I'll run them along with the make and model. Hopefully, we'll get something."
"Let me know what you get. Let's process what we collected from Samantha's apartment. Maybe we'll get a usable print or something that will lead us in the right direction. Don, can you think of anyone who would want to hurt Jen and/or your sister?" Mac looked at him as the team go to work.
"I haven't spoken to Sam recently and I can't think of anyone who'd want to hurt Jen. My sister hasn't had the best luck in life; there's no telling if or who she's crossed." He shook his head.
"Could it be someone connected to Alex?" Danny asked, thinking about Jen's brother.
"If so, wouldn't they have gone after Jen first?" Lindsay replied.
"Let's process the evidence and see where that puts us." Mac repeated. "Don, are you sure you want on this case?"
"Yes. I'm going to head back to the precinct and see if I can find anything out. Maybe, I'll head over to the pub and talk to Mike."
"Alright, call me when you head to the pub."
"Sure, Mac." Don headed to the precinct with Siberia as the rest of the team started processing the evidence they collected from Sam's apartment.
