TWO HOURS LATER...
Ryan and Esposito were sitting at Ryan's desk, contemplating were their parters were. After a few minutes of tossing their foam ball back and forth the phone on Ryan's desk rang. "Ryan?" All that he could hear was Lanie sobbing on the end. "Lanie?"
"Can...you...and...Esposito...come...down...here?" Lanie said, in between sobs.
"See you in 20." Ryan said, before hanging up the phone.
"Lanie?" Esposito asked.
"Yea, she sounded upset. Did you do something?" Ryan asked him as they started to walk to the elevator.
"What would i would have done that would make her cry? at work?" Esposito informed him as they reached the parking garage. They walked to the over end of the parking lot to take the elevator to the morgue. Sightly they walked to rest room where Lanie was curled up in ball on the couch, crying as hard as she could with the t.v on the national news. Esposito went to the front of the couch while Ryan walked around the back. "Lanieeeeee," Esposito whispered into her ear.
"You'll have no hope, she's been like that for the past 15 minutes," Dr. Perlmutter told them as he walked through the room and out the other door. Suddenly, an amber alert crossed across the screen, the new caption under it read, 'Mystery novelist Richard Castle's two yr old daughter, MISSING!' Esposito sunk from his knees to the floor. Ryan must of seen it because he whipped out his phone. He glanced down at Esposito when he saw him shaking his head.
"When what are we going to do? We can't just let this lay around."
"Right now, we can."
"I'm going over there," Lanie said, sitting up and walking out the door.
"Lanie, are you sure you want to do this?" Esposito asked his wife.
"Leave me alone," She snapped to him.
"Yes, ma'ma," Ryan sleuthed to her as she left.
