"Excuse me?" A teenage girl spoke to Jules in the parking garage.

Jules turned to her, confused. "Yes, can I help you?"

The girl shook her head, and held out three envelopes. "A man told me to give these to you."

Jules eyes widened as she grabbed the envelopes. "You're coming with me." She told the girl, grabbing a hold of the girl's wrist before she could leave. "We believe whoever gave you these envelopes may be involved in a kidnapping."

The girl's eyes widened and she began to shake. "You don't think I have something to do with it, do you? I don't, I swear! Some guy just told me to give these to a person in the SRU."

Jules smiled at the girl. "I know, but we just need to ask you some questions."

As Jules and the girl reached the elevator, they were joined by Ed and Parker. "Hey, Jules. Who's your friend?" Parker asked, noting Jules grip on the girl's wrist.

"She saw one of our guys." Jules said, tightly. The whole team knew how worried Ed, Wordy and Spike were; having been called after the envelopes had been dropped off last night.

Ed's gaze hardened and the girl stepped back slightly. Parker laid a hand on Ed's shoulder. "Eddie, calm down. Scaring her won't do us any good." He murmured to Ed, knowing how worried Ed was about Sophia.

Ed nodded and took a deep breath as the elevator started up. He kept his eyes closed until the elevator reached the top floor. When the door opened with a ding, he immediately stepped off.

Jules then remembered the envelopes in her hand. "Ed, wait!" Ed turned back and she held up the envelopes in her hand. His eyes widened and he grabbed the top envelope with his name written neatly on the front.

Stepping back from them, he opened the envelope quickly. Reaching in, he first came in contact with his wife's hair. His eyes hardened as he dug past it to the note and pictures. Pulling them out his hands shook slightly as he looked at the pictures of his wife being kicked and having her hair cut roughly. Dropping the pictures back in the envelope, he looked at the note expecting it to be a ransom note. To his surprise, it was written by his Sophia.

Dear Ed, it said, I love you. I may never get another chance to say it in person, but I do. I don't know where we are, or any of the men who are holding us. All I know is that they surprised us as we were walking to Shelly's car. We'll try to last, but please hurry. I love you and Clark so much. Love, Sophia.

Ed felt his throat clench, and Parker laid a sympathetic hand on his arm. "We'll find them, don't worry Ed."

They stood in silence until the elevator sounded again. This time, it was Lou and Wordy who came in, Wordy frantic looking. "Shelly called me!" he told them as he approached. "And I know who one of our guys is!"

Ed nodded and gestured with his envelope towards Jules. "We got more mail." He told Wordy as Jules offered him the envelope reading Wordy. He basically ripped it open, leaving Lou to tell the others what had happened. The first thing he touched was Shelly's now crushed cell phone. Reaching deeper in, he pulled out photographs and a note, just like Ed. His breath caught in his throat as he looked at the bruises on Shelly's neck which he assumed that Mark, his high school rival, had caused. Dropping the pictures back in the envelope along with the crushed cell phone, he silently read the short note. Wordy, don't worry too much about me. I'm a big girl and I can handle it. I love you. Tell the girls I love them. Mark's here and some guy named Sullivan. I love you. Love, Shelly.

Wordy dropped the note back into the envelope as Lou finished telling the others what happened. "What do we do know, boss?" Ed asked Parker.

Parker shook his head sadly. "There's only one thing we can do right now and that's wait. But miss..."

The teenage looked up at Parker, still shaking slightly. "Taylor. Taylor McCoy."

Parker smiled encouragingly at Taylor. "Well Miss McCoy, would you mind if I asked you a few questions about who gave you those envelopes over there?" Parker pointed to the briefing room, aware that she was currently scared of Ed. Taylor nodded and allowed herself to be lead away as the elevator dinged again. The final two members of the team stepped off and Spike's eyes widened as he saw the remaining envelope with his name on it being held out to him.

He forced himself to remain calm as he plucked the envelope from Jules's grip and opened it. He pulled out her keys first, his hands closing around the cold metal as he remembered the multiple times he'd seen her use those keys flooded his mind. Sliding the key ring onto his finger, he reached into the envelope to grab the photos next. He looked at them slowly, seeing her unconscious, being kicked awake, being given a black eye and slapped. He felt his anger rising up but he forced it down, not wanting it to interfere with finding Alexis. He replaced the photos in the envelope and pulled out the remaining piece of paper, a short note in Alexis's messy handwriting addressed to him. Spike, I hope you can read this. I don't know where we are or how we got here, but there are three guys holding us here. One's name is Sullivan, another's name is Mark and I don't know the last ones name. I love you so much. Please don't worry about me too much. I love you. Love, Alexis.

Spike ran his finger over where her tear had fallen, before dropping the paper back in the envelope. "Sullivan...that name sounds familiar." Spike muttered under his breath as he thought back. "Sullivan Scott! He tried out for the SRU with me, but didn't make it. We lost contact with me soon after." He told the team.

"Do you have any idea where he would be?" Ed asked, hoping that he would soon be able to see Sophia again.

Spike shook his head sadly. "No. We lost contact and I know he moved a while back, but I don't know where."

Wordy shook his head as well. "Same goes for me. Mark and I were rivals in high school, but I never really knew where he lived."

Parker escorted Taylor out and turned to his team, sighing. "Those guys aren't stupid. Whichever one of them dropped of the envelopes wore a hat and sunglasses. We don't have anything."

"Back to waiting?" Jules asked.

Parker nodded glumly. "Back to waiting."
