"Dad, I'm worried…" Eli said quietly.
"About…" Elliot said trying to sound like he didn't remember the incident at the hospital.
"Reagan, dad, she hasn't called, it's been almost three days!" He began "We have never gotten in a fight this bad, ever."
"Eli, people fight, okay, it's probably nothing, she's probably hanging out with a friend."
"I-I just have this not-so-good feeling… Something's wrong, and if you won't help me, I'll find someone who will." Eli said as he walked out the front door.

"Stop Squirming Bitch!" the man demanded
"Please- Please don't! Please stop!" The girl cried out, but her screams were muffled by the man's hand.
"My sweet naïve little girl! You think I'll let you leave? Not until I've gotten what I want!" the man barked.
"I'm not your little girl! Don't call me that! Just let me go!" She pleaded.
He pinned her to the floor and handcuffed her to a large pipe behind her.
He spat out one simple word. "Open."
When she refused he pulled out his gun put it to her head, unzipped his pants and demanded once more. She knew the man wouldn't kill her; he hadn't gotten what he wanted. Reagan took a leap of faith, hoping to buy her time.
Precinct 16
Eli, frantic and tears streaming ran into precinct 16 gasping for air.
"Eli…? What's wrong, what happened? Fin, get him some water!" Liv shouted from across the bullpen
Once Eli collected himself and caught his breath he began, "Liv, I think something's wrong."
"With what Eli? Tell me what happened." She said like a mother would.
He sighed and began again, "I bet my dad told you about the fight," She nodded "Well, after the fight, I went home; I tried to call her for the past two days, she hasn't answered, and I don't feel too good about it."
"Did you tell your dad?"
"Yea, he didn't care, he thought that she just was out at a friend's house."
"But you don't by it." Olivia presumed.

The girl spat in the man's face.
"Bitch!" he screamed while backhanding the girl. He wiped his face, and stood up and began pacing. 'Ow…Stupid, stupid, stupid! Why did you do that!' Reagan thought to herself, holding her cheek.
Her stupidity paid off, the man left in an effort to control his anger.
'Yes!' Reagan shouted in her mind, 'Now, how to get out…' she pondered the thought for a good five minutes, 'my phone, h-he never took it!'
Reagan being the unique girl she is never put anything in her pockets, but in her boots. She slowly raised her left boot and out fell her cell phone and a house key.
Precinct 16
"Got a new case," captain began, "Missing, 14 year old girl"
Olivia felt uneasy as captain placed a picture of the blue eyed girl on the white board. Olivia gasped and tears began to form for Eli as captain began again,
"Name is Reagan Powell, missing, two days, clock is ticking, odds are already against her, and us." As captain finished, Olivia's heart stopped.
"Eli…" she whispered barely audible.
"What?" captain asked.
"What, oh…nothing." She lied.
Elliot walked into the squad room; Elliot had come in late today, so he missed the briefing. Seeing Elliot reminded Olivia of Eli so much, she couldn't stand it. She ran to the crib and locked the door.
"Elliot what did you do!" Fin accused.
"Me, what, I-I didn't do anything!" Elliot stammered.

'Phone, phone, phone!' she thought while trying to grab it. '21 missed calls, 43 new messages' the phone read. Thank God it was on silent. 'New message! New message! Got to write new message!' she thought to herself.

Precinct 16
"Liv, El, head on over to Cardinal Spellman High School, interview the girl's friends."
Olivia saw the look on her partners face. Fear. Confusion. Worry. Eli went to school there, as did Reagan
"W-Captain- What's the girl's name?" El asked, not really wanting an answer.
"Reagan… Reagan Powell… you know her?"
Bam!
Olivia tried to comfort him, he pulled back to release yet another blow onto his desk, but Olivia quickly grabbed his arm, restraining him.
"El. hurting you won't bring her back… Calm down, we need to talk to Eli." Olivia said tenderly.
He nodded…

Eli looked at his phone. 1 New Message
From: Rea
Oh My God! Eli thought as he quickly opened the message… his heart broke:
Eli! I'm not mad! You never did anything wrong! I just couldn't tell you! I'm sorry, so, so sorry! I- I can't talk for long… I really want to tell you! If I tell you- anything- where I am, what he's done to me, what- what he will do. He-he will kill you… everyone- Olivia, your dad-everyone! I'm sorry to drag you into this, I don't deserve you, you don't deserve this! I'm so sorry! I hear him! I-I have to go… my phone is on-but silent. I-I I love you Eli.
Eli, not noticing tears falling freely from his face, now felt a lite tap on his shoulder. He quickly wiped the tears from his eyes, but to no avail, they continued to fall.
S-She said it; she told me that she loved me… Eli thought before turning around
"Dad! Olivia! What are you doing here?"
"Eli-"Elliot began but was cut off by Olivia.
"Reagan, she was reported missing today- hasn't been seen since the fight." She finished, seeing how hard this was for Elliot.
"I-I know…"
"You know?" both Elliot and Olivia said.
"She-She texted me… right before-right before you came…" Eli said, looking down at his feet.
"Can we see it, Eli, does it tell us anything useful? Where she is? Anything?" Olivia asked with urgency.
"I-I uh, I don't know…"
"Can I read it Eli?" Olivia asked sweetly, a way he couldn't say no to. He handed her the phone, message still showing.
"Eli-"Olivia started only to be interrupted.
"Save it. Just find her- please- don't let her get hurt." He said turning away.
