Once again, thank you so much for every left review. I don't say it only because I want to be polite, the reviews really have a big meaning for me. It's good to know something reads my story and what's more - enjoys it. I hope you all had / are having a nice day. :)

Invader Johnny - I think Sam is as worried about Carly as Spencer is; after all, Carly's her best friend. I'm sure she wants her to come back quickly and that's why she's getting nervous. Let's add the fact Sam is impetuous and it'll be sure that is most likely that she'll lose her temper. Please be placable for her. :)

Guest - they will but at first they had to wait some time and I think they'll also hoped to find Carly on their own. And you're right, Freddie should've left Sam a note. Nerves, nerves...

iamfinethanks - yes, Carly being gone is a serious thing and yes, Sam's nightmare may also be a serious thing! In conclusion, everything is serious. And Victor... well, I'm sure he's somewhere around. Don't worry, I surely will put many Spassie moments in my story because I also like this pairing. I'm glad you share my opinion. :)

SeddieShipper - good you've come back! If they find Carly? It's a good question! I know the answer but sorry, I can't tell you, that's not the point, right? :) I'll do my best to put as many Seddie moments as it's possible, I promise. And you're right, Spencer doesn't behave like Spencer and I'm pleased you understand.

Rebecca95 - thank youuu! As I mentioned, it's still unknown where's Carly but don't worry, one day it'll be clear! This story has to finish somehow, hasn't it? ;) I'll try my best to finish this story and you're right - abbandoning stories in the halfway is not cool.

About this Chapter - well, it's not very dynamic and full of action but I hope you'll enjoyed it anyway. It's titled 'Supermassive black hole' - if you're a fan of Muse, I'm sure you immediately got what's going on. I like this song a lot and a title for this Chapter came to my mind suddenly. Enjoy reading! :)

Disclaimer: I don't own iCarly but I'd like to own Sam's blue remote.

Chapter Four

Supermassive black hole

Sam was sitting on the bed, looking out the window and listening to calm breathing of sleeping next to her Freddie. She glanced at the clock, that was 7.45 a.m. She sighed deeply and then carefully, to not wake up Freddie, stood up; she knew she wouldn't fall asleep anymore and didn't even try.

'Sam?' suddenly she heard a quiet sleepy voice. She looked at Freddie who was looking at her hesitantly. 'Where are you going?' he muttered.

His girlfriend gave him a little smile. 'Go back to sleep, you must be exhausted,' she said.

'I'm not, actually.' Freddie sat up and wiped out dream of his eyes. 'I feel okay.'

'You were sleeping for three hours, Freddie.' Sam looked at him suspiciously.

'It doesn't matter.' Freddie gave his girlfriend little warm smile and reached his arms to her. Sam obediently sat down next to him and he embraced her tightly, kissing her lips softly. 'Ah, it's good it's Saturday today, we don't have to go to Ridgeway. I wouldn't stand these all people asking about Carly,' he said.

'Yeah...' Sam sighed. 'But we have to broadcast iCarly today,' she remembered in a gloomy voice.

Freddie gasped. 'Gosh, I forgot about it at all. What will we do, Sammy?'

'An average show,' Sam replied firmly. 'We'll call Gibby if needed, everything will be as usual. We'll tell Carly's ill or something like that.'

'You think it's a good idea?' Freddie doubted. 'What about telling everyone that Carly's missing? Maybe someone would know where she is...'

'I've been thinking about it,' Sam admitted, 'but I'm not sure whether it's really good idea. I mean yeah, someone could see Carly or know where she is but is it possible? Would Carly just flew away somewhere we don't know, as well as she does?'

'I don't know,' Freddie replied quietly, 'but... we've tried everything so far. We checked every place we know, every hospital and even most dangerous places in Seattle. So where else she can be?'

Sam frowned. 'I've been asking myself this question since yesterday,' she muttered. 'But still... if we let people know Carly's gone, they'll freak out and I'm not sure whether it'll be okay.'

'I know what you mean,' Freddie said, 'however, I think we have to try everything. Maybe Carly in fact has taken a plane and flown to Alabama or God knows where,' he tried to joke but Sam didn't smile.

'But why?' she asked quietly. 'Even if so, why, Freddie?'

'I don't know,' Freddie admitted, getting serious again.

'We know so little.' Sam sighed deeply. 'Too little.'

'Try to think positive. Today's the day Spencer will go to the police station and tell them Carly's gone. It may change something.'

'Yeah, of course,' Sam snapped. 'Police don't know a thing, what would they do? Nothing than we haven't done so far.'

'I don't think so,' Freddie tried to cheer her up. 'Come, we'll eat a breakfast, right?'

Sam was extremely worried about her best friend but when she thought about a bacon with eggs, she immediately stood up and went to kitchen. Eating always helped her to forget about every problem in the world.

'Thanks you stayed the night, Cass.' Spencer gave his girlfriend a little warm smile. 'But I don't want you to spend days and nights here—you have your responsibilities, job and—'

'I don't mind,' Cassie interrupted him. 'It's Saturday, I don't have to go to today and I don't have any specific plans for either. I won't leave you alone, not now,' she confessed and stroked his cheeck. 'You may consider me to be overly attached girlfriend, I don't care.'

'I don't. I love when you're around but I don't want you to waste your time for my problems. There are tons of more interesting things you can do,' Spencer said. That was almost noon but Spencer had been awoke since 8 a.m., after very few hours of restless sleeping, what had never happened to him before. His hair was more messy than usual, there were dark circles under his eyes and a dark shadow of facial hair on his cheeks.

'You're the most interesting thing for me,' Cassie said firmly. She felt enormously pity for Spencer and also knew he needed support and comfort. She loved him and didn't even think about leaving in a such stressful situation. She didn't care about her job and other responsibilities, she was intent to stay with Spencer as long as Carly wasn't home, no matter how much time would that take. 'I won't leave you,' she added softly.

Spencer looked at her. His eyes were tired and full of pain but there appeared a little light when he smiled to her. 'I love you,' he confessed.

Cassie, who wasn't aware that Spencer had never told any woman he loved her before, smiled back to him. 'I love you too,' she said softly and quietly. She swiftly planted her lips on top of his but quickly broke away when someone knocked on the door and then Sam, Freddie and Gibby walked in.

'Hi,' Freddie said and gave them a little smile. 'We want to make an iCarly rehearsal, can we?' he asked.

'You're going to broacast iCarly tonight?' Spencer was surprised.

'Maybe it's not the best idea, given the circumstances, but we decided so,' Freddie informed him.

'Okay, so do your job.' Spencer shrugged. Freddie, Sam and Gibby went upstairs and Spencer put on his shoes and jacket. 'I'm going to the police station, be back in hour or two. Feel free to do anything you want.'

Cassie just nodded. Spencer kissed her forehead and left the flat.

About twenty minutes passed and Cassie was about to eat something because she felt hungry (she hadn't eaten anything since the information that Carly was missing) and made herself and sandwich when suddenly the door slammed and someone bolted in the flat. Cassie turnt around, being sure that was Spencer who had forgotten something but that turnt out to be Victor, Carly's boyfriend. He looked worried and tensed. 'Sorry for bolting in,' he said. 'Aren't you Spencer's girlfriend?'

'That's me,' she answered.

'I just came to ask if something new is known about Carly.'

Cassie only shook her head. 'Nothing, actually. She's still gone.'

Victor winced. 'But... you're doing anything to find her, right?' he asked.

'Freddie, Spencer and his friends T—Bo and Socko spent the night on looking for her in parks and places like that; you know, to make sure that she hadn't had some kind of accident, but they'd found nothing, no sign. Spencer's just gone to the police station to report Carly's missing officialy.'

Victor looked a bit relieved. 'Well, that's good, but they should've called me when they were going out to look for Carly,' he mumbled. 'Won't you mind if I stay here until Spencer come back?' he asked. 'I know to know what's going on immediately.'

Cassie shrugged. 'Make yourself comfortable,' she said. 'Freddie, Sam and Gibby are upstairs in iCarly studio if you want to join them.'

'Yes, it's a good idea,' Victor said, nodding. 'I'll go there. Thank you...'

'Cassie,' she prompted him. Victor only nodded again and went upstairs.

'So.' The policeman in his mid—forties with dark—brown hair, cautious hazel eyes, moustache and furrow between his eyebrows stood up and looked at sitting by the other side of desk Spencer. The policeman was tall and broad—shouldered, what could make one feel calm of frightened, that depended. The badge on his chest said his name was Detective Collins. He grabbed a sheet of paper and glanced at it. 'Your name is Spencer Steven Shay, born on November 11th 1982 in Portland, Oregon, you live in Bushwell Plaza 8—C in Seattle and you want to report a missing of Carly Marie Shay, your sister, born on July 27th 1994 in Seattle, Washington, living in Bushwell Plaza 8—C in Seattle who's gone since yestarday, am I correct?' he read what he'd written down and looked at Spencer who nodded.

'You are correct, sir,' Spencer said trying not to add It's not important, who cares?!, but he refused. No matter how annoying that was, Spencer knew that dealing with the formalities was necessary.

'Right then,' Detective Collins said and put away the sheet of paper with written down information. 'You listed all places where your sister can be and all people who may know about her whereabout. We'll check them all.'

'But I've already done it,' Spencer protested quietly. Detective Collins gave him a piercing look what made Spencer shut up.

'Don't tell the police what to do,' Detective Collins snapped so Spencer didn't tell them what to do, although he felt angry that police were going to step on paths which had been already checked. 'We'll call you immediately as we figure something out,' Collins added and Spencer only nodded. 'Listen boy,' he said and his voice became soft strangely, so Spencer looked up at him, ignoring the fact he was called boy despite being thirty, 'I understand you. Your sister is missing and you're worried about her, I get it. And I promise you we'll do everything we can to find her, okay?'

'Okay,' Spencer agreed but wasn't hundred percent convinced.

'And that's all for today's iCarly show, remember to put your socks in pairs and see you next week!' Sam made a funny face to camera hold in Freddie's arms and waved.

'The rehearsal is over,' the boy announced and Sam immediately stopped smiling, coming back to being serious and worried. 'It was... quite good,' Freddie said. In fact, Sam and Gibby had done a good rehearsal and everything had gone the right way; Victor, who was sitting on the seats of the old car, nodded in approbate. 'Seriously guys, good job.'

Gibby seemed to be satisfied but Sam only sighed deeply and sat down next to Victor. 'I don't know, Freddie,' she said. 'I'm not sure if I manage to be all crazy and random without Carly.'

'You managed this time, why wouldn't you manage during the real show?' Victor asked her. She gave him a quick piercing look and didn't answer.

'Sam,' Freddie said after a long moment. 'You know we can't cancel iCarly, we've never done it, no matter what happened. You have to be a host tonight, we can't skip the show—'

'So the show is more important than Carly for you?!' Sam suddenly growled, jumping on her feet. She seemed to be angry at her boyfriend. 'You don't care your best friend is missing, you only care how much viewers we'll got!' she accused.

'Sam, of course I do care about Carly—' Freddie tried to make up but Sam didn't listen anymore. She left the studio without a single word and slammed the door. 'Shit,' Freddie muttered, putting out the camera. He looked at Gibby and Victor who gave him a compassionate gazes. 'What am I supposed to do?' Freddie asked them.

'You failed it bro,' Victor told him and Freddie only gave him a piercing look. Carly's boyfriend raised his hands in defensive gesture.

'I think you have to prove Sam that you care about Carly,' Gibby said. Freddie gazed at him and lifted his eyebrows, amazed; that was very unusual that Gibby was saying something what actually made sense.

'Any specific ideas?' Freddie asked him, ignoring Victor.

'Uhm... no,' Gibby said. 'I just gave you an idea, don't require me to think more!' he added, offended.

'Okay, okay, relax,' Freddie calmed him down. 'Your idea is great, I'm going to use it, seriously.'

'Good. And I'm going to get myself a pudding, see you later,' Gibby said and left the studio.

Freddie and Victor stayed alone. They were keeping quiet what was kind of awkward, actually. Victor gave Freddie a long look. 'You're thinking how to make up for Sam, aren't you?' he said.

'Yeah, I guess I am,' Freddie admitted. 'I've told her too many stupid things.'

'How about telling the audience of iCarly that Carly is missing?' Victor proposed. 'I don't think it's a bad idea, it can work, actually.'

'Are you sure?' Freddie doubted. Sam said that announcing Carly being missing wasn't the best idea but now Victor said it was a good idea... So who was right? Freddie felt confused.

'I am. We all want Carly to come back and I think we should use everything we have to find her. Right, telling iCarly viewers that the host is gone will probably freak them out but there's still a possibility that some knows where she is. And in my opinion, we're ought to do it, even if the possibility is very small.'

Freddie thought over that for a moment and then he nodded his head. 'Yeah, I guess you're right. I'll do it right now. We don't have time to waste.'

'Exactly,' Victor agreed.

Freddie turnt up his computer to tweet about spontaneous announcement in iCarly appearing in fifteen minutes. 'Hold the camera, would you?' he said to Victor who agreed, grabbed the camera and pointed at Freddie. 'Is it recording?'

'I guess so,' Victor answered, looking at the little screen. He noticed the RECORD button, looked at Freddie meaningfully and pushed it.

Freddie coughed and look directly at the camera. 'Well, hello iCarly fans,' he said. 'I suppose you're all surprised seeing me here because I usually stand on the other side of camera but this time the matter is really serious. What I mean is—'

Suddenly the door opened and Cassie walked in, interrupting Freddie's speech. She looked at the boys meaningfully. 'Excuse me if I'm disturbing,' she said, 'but Spencer's back.'

Spencer being back from police station meant so awaited by everyone news. Victor turnt off the camera and put it away. Along with Freddie and Cassie he went downstairs. What made Freddie feel anxious, Sam wasn't around but he decided to find her later, after talking to Spencer who was putting his jacket off. 'So?!' Freddie uttered. 'What did they say?'

Spencer shrugged. 'Nothing specific, actually. They're going to interrogate each of us which we've already done so I don't think it's necessary... But they provided to let media know about Carly and it may change something. By tomorrow's morning every local newspaper, TV channel and webpage will include information about Carly.'

Freddie sighed deeply. To be honest, he excepted more but at the same moment he was aware that police weren't able to do miracles and if they would've find Carly, they'd needed time. 'We'll, it's something,' he said. 'Maybe this would help us reach to Carly.'

'Maybe,' Spencer agreed. 'Is Sam here?' he asked, looking around like Sam could be hidden behind his Bottle Bot sculpture.

Freddie gulped. 'Yes she is. I'll go to her and tell the news,' he offered before Spencer or Cassie could notice that Freddie had no idea where was his girfriend. Only Victor gave him a meaningful look.

'I'm sure she'll be happy,' he said. 'If you don't mind, I'll go home now. Spencer, call me if you know anything new, okay? I really want to know everything, I'm so worried about Carly...'

'I'll let you know,' Spencer promised. Victor nodded and left the flat whilst Freddie was going upstairs. He knew he had to find Sam but to be honest, had no clue where she could've gone. He had a feeling she didn't leave the 8—C flat because she wanted to stay close Spencer and news about Carly but at the same moment she was mad at Freddie and didn't want him to find her easily.

He checked Carly's bedroom and iCarly studio but Sam wasn't there. He thought for a long moment and came up to idea to check fire escapes. That was a very special place for Sam and Freddie because they shared their first kiss there when they both were fourteen. Then Freddie would've never supposed he'd ever be Sam's boyfriend and fall in love with her. He smiled to himself, we're often surprised by life, aren't we?, he thought.

Freddie was right—Sam was sitting on the fire escapes and staring blanky ahead, deep in thoughts. Freddie went throught the open window and walk up to Sam who noticed him and gave him a piercing look saying go away until you're able to but Freddie didn't stop. 'Hey,' he said softly.

Sam kept quiet for a long moment. 'Hey,' she responded finally.

'I'm sorry.' Freddie decided to not beat around the bush. 'I apologize for what I've said in the studio. I was terribly wrong and you were right, we can't focus on iCarly more than on Carly herself. The most important thing is to find her, no matter what.'

'Nice you finally understood it,' Sam muttered ironically.

'Yeah,' Freddie answered uncertainly. 'You know, I was about to make a short video telling the audience of iCarly that Carly's gone but Spencer came back from the police station and interrupted me. He said that police will let media know about Carly's missing. I think it can helps us, maybe someone's seen her and tell the police.'

'That's possible,' Sam admitted. 'I think we shouldn't tell our viewers if newspaper and TV will say about Carly's missing. At least not now.'

'Of course,' Freddie agreed immediately and put his arm around Sam's shoulders. What made him relieved, she didn't step aside. 'Are you still mad at me?'

Sam didn't answer for a long time and then she looked at him. She was smiling. 'You know I can't be angry at you for a long time. Honestly, I came here just to think but I wanted you to find me and tell you're sorry.' She gave him a sly smile. 'You know, I think positive about Carly,' she admitted. 'I believe she'll be back very soon safe and sound and everything will be alright.'

'I'm sure it will be alright.' Freddie smiled and then leant down to her. Their lips met in a soft kiss.

So that's all for Chapter Four. As I mentioned, there wasn't much action inside but please stay tuned because there's going to be a BIG surprise in the next Chapter! Make sure you won't miss it by following my story. :)
