Chapter 7 (Part 1)

Since there wasn't much anyone could do for the rest of the night, they all went home only to return at 5 am.

"Did you get any sleep, Nicole?" Jess asked Nic once they met up with each other in the office.

"No, all I could think about was what if David Travis didn't take Antonio, who would've?" Nicole asked as she sighed.

"Well, we'll be interviewing him today." Jess told her.

"Where's Colin?" Nicole asked Jess.

"He's coming in a little late because he has to tell his boss that he won't be at work today." Jess replied.

"Oh, ok." Nicole said.

Suddenly Jess went straight into a vision. It was a dark area. She then saw Antonio looking out of a glass door of a building. The door had an 'Out Of Business' sign on it. Then Jess tried to open the door but it wouldn't open, then she came out of the vision.

"Jess," Nicole was staring at Jess knowing that she had just had a vision. "What is it?"

Nicole and Jess started walking in the office as Jess told Nicole what she saw. "It was really dark. There was a building with like a glass door, you know like the ones that you pull open like at some stores?"

"Yeah," Nicole said.

"It was like I was on the outside of that door and on the inside of the building looking out was Antonio." Jess continued to tell Jess.

"What?" Nicole asked baffled.

"Yeah, and on the door was a sign that said, 'Out of Business'." Jess said. "I have no idea what it means."

"Maybe it means that he's in an empty, dark building." Nicole said. "You know what, let's go interview David Travis." They left and went to the jail.

"Hello David Travis." Nicole said once they were in the prison interrogation room.

"Ahh.. long time since we last met, agent Scott, Mastriani." David said in a slight comical voice.

"So you escaped from jail for 3 days?" Nicole asked him.

"Yeah, a lot can be done in three days." David said calmly.

"Mr. Travis, what did you do for three days?" Jess asked him.

"Caught up on business, took care of some things." David said.

"Did you mess with Antonio?" Nicole asked him.

"I have never messed with him." David said.

"We don't believe you Mr. Travis." Jess told him.

"Well, then, somebody framed me." David said angrily.

"You kidnapped Antonio, killed him, and hid his body, didn't you?" Nicole asked him with almost clamped teeth.

"I haven't touched him." David said with a smile on his face.

"We know you did so why don't you admit to it, you're not getting out of jail anytime soon." Jess told him.

"I guess your right agent. I'll admit to one thing. I kidnapped him." David admitted as calmly as ever.

"You then called me from your cell phone, didn't you?" Nicole asked him. She was getting aggravated with him.

David thought about it for a second. "Yeah, I did. I wanted to let you hear him suffering." David said as he smiled.

"Where is he Mr. Travis?" Jess asked him.

"Never to be told." David laughed. He leaned back in his chair.

Nicole jumped up and got in his face, "You tell me where he's at or I will put a bullet right through your head. I'm not even scared to do it. Now TELL ME where he is." Nicole said with an extremely pissed off voice.

"I told you, I'm not going to tell. You know what I don't need this. Officers." David said. Some officers came and took him back to his cell. He just smiled as he left. Nicole looked as if she was going to murder him.

"C'mon Nic, let's go back to the office." Jess suggested.

"Fine." They left and went back to the office.

"Come with me, now." Pollock told Nicole and Jess as soon as they got to the office. When they got to the bullpen they saw a new case on the board. "We have a missing 14 year old. Her name is Alexis Walker. Left her house to walk three blocks to school. She never made it there. No witnesses and forensics is already out there."

"Sir, what about Antonio?" Nicole asked frantically.

"Agent McNeil is doing every aspect of his case as of right now. He will find him." Pollock said.

"Ok, sir." Nicole agreed because she knew protesting would only cause an argument.

"Scott, you go interview the parents. Mastriani, you go interview the principal of the school." Pollock ordered them. They both reluctantly left agreed and left. "Oh, before you go, did you get anything from David Travis?"

"Yes sir, we did. He was the one who abducted Antonio and he won't tell us where Antonio's at though." Jess told him.

"I'll be sure to pass that along to agent McNeil." Pollock said.

Colin-

"Agent McNeil..." Colin's boss said as Colin entered his office.

"Sir, I am going to use one of my vacation days today." Colin told his boss.

"For what reason?" His boss asked him curiously.

"I'm taking some time off to be with my family." Colin said lying.

"Alright then, have a nice day, agent." His boss told him.

"Thank you sir." Colin said. As soon as he was out in his car, he called Jess.

"Mastriani." Jess answered her phone.

"Hey Jess, what did you get from David Travis?" Colin asked her as he drove out of the DOJ parking lot.

"Nothing useful. All we know is that he admitted to abducting Antonio and calling Nicole. But he wouldn't give up where Antonio is." Jess told him.

"Where are you going now?" Colin asked her.

"I'm going to interview a principal of a 14 year old that disappeared on the way from her house to her school today." Jess told him.

"How did she manage that?" Colin asked her.

"She walks 3 blocks to and from her house everyday. She left her house but never made it to school. Off that, Pollock said that you were taking every aspect of Antonio's case by yourself." Jess told him.

"Well, I hadn't planned on that, but since you have another case I guess I will." Colin laughed.

"Oh, yeah. I have one more thing to tell you and then I have to go because I am at the school." Jess said.

"I'm listening." Colin said.

"Do you know of a dark place that is out of business and has glass doors?" Jess asked.

"Not off the top of my head, but I could probably find one. Why?" Colin asked curiously.

"I had a vision of a place like that, so I think it might be where Antonio is at." Jess told him.

"Oh, ok. I'll do my best." Colin told her.

"Well listen, I got to go, I love you." Jess told Colin.

"I love you too." Colin told her. So they then both hung up and Jess went to interview the principal of Alexis's school.

She entered his office. "Hi, Jess Mastriani, FBI." She showed him her badge.

"Welcome, I'm James Brookstone. It's horrific to hear what happened to Alexis today." James told her.

"What type of student is Alexis?" Jess asked him.

"Um, perfect attendance, 'A' honor roll, she never gets into trouble, I mean I don't know who would have done this to her." Mr. Brookstone told Jess.

"Does she have a boyfriend?" Jess asked him.

"I have to watch out for 700 students. I don't have time to get to know all of them. Especially Alexis since she never gets into trouble." James told Jess.

"Did she ever talk to you about anything? Maybe someone she was afraid of, or something like that?" Jess asked him.

"Well, there was this one time about a month ago, she told me that there was someone who kept watching or following her in a car since she walked to school." He told Jess.

"Can you give me a description of the car or the driver?" Jess asked him.

"No, she didn't go into details about it." James said. Jess just looked at him.

At Alexis's House...

Nicole knocked on Mrs. Walker's door. "Hi I'm Special agent Nicole Scott." Nicole said as Mrs. Walker let her in.

"Hi, I'm Kelly Walker." Mrs. Walker told Nicole.

"Where is your husband right now?" Nicole asked.

"Work, he's a CEO of a major corporate business, he's trying to leave now." Kelly told Nicole.

"Ok, How's your daughter's school life?" Nicole asked her.

"Fine, she's a straight 'A' student, perfect attendance, she doesn't have a boyfriend. She's only been going to that high school for a month and a half. She only has two friends that go to her high school and also came from her middle school." Kelly said.

"What are their names?" Nicole asked her.

"Abby Miller and Kristen Bale." Kelly told Nic. "You can probably find them at school."

"Is she pretty open with you?" Nicole asked.

"Yes, she tells me everything." Kelly said.

"Did she ever mention anyone that she might be afraid of?" Nicole asked.

"No, never. I don't know anyone who would want to harm Alexis. Everyone likes her." Kelly said.

"Well, we will find Alexis, I promise." Nicole said reassuringly.

"Thank you." Kelly said.

At the FBI Office...

Colin stepped off of the elevator and seen Pollock heading for him. "Agent McNeil, come with me now." Pollock told Colin as he walked right past him. Once they were in Pollock's office, Colin asked, "What is it?"

"We have a phone tip for where agent Cortez is." Pollock said.

"Where?" Colin asked.

"He's in North Georgetown in that old warehouse that closed about a month ago." Pollock told Colin.

"You mean the one on W. Bay St.?" Colin asked.

"Yes, that one. Now go get my agent back." Pollock ordered him.

"I will." Colin said as he walked out of Pollock's office. As he was leaving he ran into Jess and Nicole.

"Colin, hey." Jess said as she ran into his arms. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm getting ready to leave to go see if I can find Antonio." Colin told Jess.

"Really?" Nicole looked at Colin. "Where?"

"Pollock got a phone tip saying that Antonio was in an old, closed down, warehouse in North Georgetown." Colin said.

Nicole just smiled and said, "You go find him Colin." She was starting to realize that they might find Antonio alive.

"Scott, Mastriani, what did you find out?" Pollock startled all of them.

"I better go, bye." Colin said to all of them as he got into the elevator and left.

"Bye," Nicole and Jess said almost at the same time.

"Agents," Pollock said to get Jess and Nicole's attention back.

"Right, umm... the principal said that she is a good student, straight A's, and perfect attendance. But about a month ago she went to talk to him saying that she was scared of someone that kept watching her or following her in a car as she went to and from school. He said that she didn't go into details." Jess said as they walked towards Pollock's office.

"Really? Scott?" Pollock asked.

"Mom said the same thing about Alexis except for she didn't say anything about Alexis being afraid of anyone. But she did tell me that she has two best friends. Their names are Abby Miller and Kristen Bale." Nicole told him.

"Good, go interview them separately to see if their stories match up." Pollock told them.

"Yes sir." Nicole said. Then Nicole and Jess left.

At the Warehouse

Colin had just arrived at the warehouse. He got out of his car with his gun drawn. He was wearing a bullet proof vest but he was in plain clothes. He walked up to one of the window's and looked inside. He couldn't see anything. But as he was trying to see he heard two different voices coming from inside. He knew one was Antonio's and the other had to be the kidnapper. He walked around to a door on the back of the warehouse and quietly snuck in. Once he shut the door behind his self, he noticed it had gotten quiet. But he continued to walk in the warehouse. Then he heard the guy's voice again. He walked very slowly towards the voice. That's when he rounded the corner and saw Antonio tied to a chair. The guy had a gun pointed at Antonio's head.

"You know, I should kill you right now," the voice said to Antonio. That's when Colin decided to make his move. "Drop your gun," Colin told the guy. "Or I will shoot."

The guy immediately turned around and pointed his gun at Colin, and said, "Get back or I'll shoot him and you right now."

Colin didn't know what to do, shoot or back down.
