Chapter 3

Vhallos was not happy. Its been over twenty four hours now and still hasn't heard from Bo. He made a phone call. He hoped that his men would find Bo and Miss Barnes before anything serious happens. Bo didn't realize who he crossed. He was going to find out the hard way.

Julie woke up hoping this was a nightmare. Unfortunately it wasn't. This was really happening. Julie tried keeping good thoughts in her head so not to show her fear. She thought about how Pete always made her smile even when she didn't want to. She thought about how Pete stayed with her after she gave back Sally Ann and how good it felt. She thought about how he called her Angel, and how he looked when he said it. She knew she had feelings for him, when this was over they would have to have a long talk.

Bo was concerned. He hadn't realized who Vhallos really was. Now not only did he have the police after him he also had Vhallos after him. He had to think. Finally coming up with what he thought would work, he went back inside and made a phone call.

"Pete you and Linc check all the places Bo has been to before. Maybe one of them holds a special meaning for him and he has Julie there. If you find him keep your cool and no beatings till we know where Julie is. Do I make myself clear" stated the captain.

Pete knew the captain was speaking more to him then Linc. Pete remembered when Linc was shot, at the hands of Bo, that he silently asked Linc to teach him more patience. Pete also knew that when it came to Julie he was even less patient then normal. He was thinking about the time when he drove like a madman to get to Julie because they had thought that one man was the strangler but it really was another. Pete shook himself out of his revelry realizing it wasn't going to help him find Julie.

After checking the all the places, like the kit Kat club, beach house, and others, and coming up empty the guys returned to the captains office. The three sat there dejectedly. The knew the longer Bo had Julie the less of a chance they would find her unharmed. They all went home and would be back bright and early in the morning.

Pete couldn't sleep. He kept thinking of all the times Julie had been in trouble. Like when she was kidnapped, he was scared the kidnapper had seen the picture in the paper and did the unthinkable. Or when she became Mickie Moore and they had almost lost her permanently. Or when cricket accidently shot her and she left the hospital to find him. There was more but he had to stop thinking like this and get some sleep or he would be no good to try and find her come morning. Angel stay strong was his last thought before falling into another fitful sleep.

They still had no clues as to where Bo took her. Try as they might they just couldn't figure it out. They have tried everything and still came up empty. Pete was besides himself. He felt like he is letting his angel down. He wanted his angel to be safe and she wasn't. All he could do at this point is keep the emotions in check and keep going forward. It was by far one of the most trying times for him.
