Sam's p.o.v.
I was sitting at my desk ...smoking. Every breath I took felt heavy. The night was worm, peacefull but my head was going wild.
"What the hell happened tonight?", I heard the detective ask a policeman.
"We don't know sir. Our man are out on the field trying to figure it out. Every few minutes comes a report about a missing child. What the hell?"
"Where is she?", I heard Alyssa rush into my apartment.
"Oh my God Sam! What happened?", she sat beside me.
"He's gone. Someone took my son."
I stood up and started to walk around, "Not just my baby ...thousands of kids went missing tonight and ...I ...I just don't know."
She grabbed my hand and pulled me aside, "Sam ...is it him?"
I rubbed my eyes, "I think so. This is hudge. I don't-"
"M! What the hell is happening?"
I heard the detective ask and turned around.
"M."
"I ...I don't know."
I saw fear in his green eyes.
"Is he a dad? Did he lost a child?"
" You whe're suppose to protect this city!", I heard my neighbour shout.
"Ma'am, I don't-"
"My baby is gone. HE'S GONE! You are here to prevent this kind of things! Where where you?!", she cried in pain.
I rushed towards her, "Amy."
She looked at me ...her eyes filled with tears and fear.
"Sam, someone took our babyes! Sam! Why did they-"
"Hey, hey ...they are going to find them. He's going to find them.", I said looking at M and he nodded.
"I ...I just can't."
"Mat! Take her home.", I called her husband.
"Is your husband working? Did you call him?", M asked.
I looked at him, "He died a year ago."
M's p.o.v.
"What the hell is happening?", Allan asked me.
I was at home ...looking out of the window and drinking a beer.
"I don't know ...but I do know that I can't do this on my own."
"Do you think she will help you? It is quite a bad situation."
I sighet, "I met a woman today. Her voice was just like D's."
"One of the victims?"
"Yes."
After a few seconds of silence he spoke, "So ...she has a child?"
I nodded.
"And a husband."
I turned to look at Allan, "Had a busband. He died."
"Are you sure that that's her?"
"Almost ...the weird part is ...that ...I know her."
Sam's p.o.v.
"Coffee?", Alyssa asked and I nodded.
She put a mug in front of me and sat down at the table.
"What are you planning to do?"
I looked at her, "I'm planning to save Alex."
"So ...D's coming back?"
I looked at her and nodded.
"Who did this? Was it him?"
"Yes, I think."
"But ...why?"
In that moment, my phone rang. I looked at it and looked at Alyssa.
"Who is it?"
"Pentagon."
Pentagon
I walked out of the elevator. I saw a tall, brown haired man waiting for me so I walked towards him.
"Sam.", he reached out his hand and I took it,
"Paul."
He sighed, "How are you?"
"Worried. Pissed. Confused. Broken."
He nodded.
"What do you have?", I asked and we started to walk.
"Not much. Hundreds of kids are gone and in just one night. Few hours actually. We are working with every police department in the state but we need D's help."
"I know but ...how can I help? This is big."
"Well ...first of all, you do need a partner."
I looked at him, "Is he pissed?"
I tried to keep my emotions and thoughts together even though I was scared and worried. My mind was rushing and it was hard to focus on what he was talking.
"No. He was never pissed ...more disappointed and confused."
"Did he try to find out why I had left?"
"At first but he gave it up pretty soon. I made it clear to him that your private life was not on the table to discuss."
"Thanks."
Be nodded and we stopped in front of a glass door. He opened up for me,
"Wait inside, I'll be with you in a minute."
"Is he here?", I asked before he left.
He looked at me and gave me a nod. I went inside and sat down, facing the glass door. People where passing by and I couldn't help not to wonder if he will pass by ...and I will see him. I started to get nervous ...curiosity was taking it's part.
A few minutes had passed and I saw Paul opening the door. Behind him was Mark Wayne. The big boss.
I smiled at him and stood up, offering him my hand.
"Sam. Good to see you again.", he took it into a firm handshake.
"You too mr. Wayne ...although I wish that the occasion was different."
He put his hand on my shoulder, "I'm sorry Sam. Both for Harry and your son. How are you?"
"I'm trying."
He nodded amd invited me to sit down.
"How long has it been since Harry passed away?"
"A year."
"He was a good man Sam. I truly am sorry."
"I know."
"We will bring your son back ...safe and sound. I gave you my word."
I nodded.
"Mister Mayne and I have discussed the situation and since you are the mother of one of the missing child, we wish to keep you out of the operation.", said Paul.
"I don't understand."
"We know this is hard for you and ...since emotions are envolved-", Mark started but I cut him off.
"So your saying that you don't trust me?"
I was getting pissed.
"Sam ...I trust you with my life ...but since the circumstances are the way they are, we think that, for your own good, the best thing is to keep you away from the field."
"I don't understand. Why did you call me then?"
"You have a brilliant mind and we would like you to work with us ...but from the inside.", Paul said.
"Like ...manage the operation?"
"In a way. If that's okay with you."
"What is your plan exactly?"
M's p.o.v.
I sat and waited for about an hour. May was babysitting me.
"I really think that this is not necessar."
May looked at me, "What?"
"You being here with me. I'm not a child."
She smiled, "No, you are worse. You're in love."
I raised my eyebrow.
She laughed, "Im not stupid, you know. Neither is Paul or Mark."
I looked at my feet, "I don't know what your talking about."
She walked towards me, "You are head over heels in love with her ...and Mark knew if he left you here, alone, knowing that she was in the building, you would go out and try to find her."
"That ...is so not true."
"Sure."
"Does she have a kid? Is that the reason why they don't want her working outside?"
"They have their reasons, I'm sure."
Damn May ...work with me.
"But is that the reason?"
"Why does that concerne you?"
I stood up, "Why?! I have worked with her for ten years, I think I have the right to know why she left and why is she not working on this with me!"
"No, you don't.", I heard Mark say as he entered the room with Paul.
" I told you, her private life in non of your business ...and I won't repeat it."
"Mark-"
"Mister Wayne.", Paul corrected me.
I signed, "Mister Wayne ...I just ...I need to know."
"The only thing you need to do, is your job. Why are you so difficult? Damn boy."
"I'm just worried."
"Don't be.", Paul said.
"She's a big girl."
I sighed, "So ...did you talk to her?"
Paul nodded.
"And?"
"She agreed.", Mark said.
