Tessa woke up with a splitting headache and noticed that she was cuffed to a chair in a big room which looked a lot like a warehouse. On both of her sides she could see two trucks. She tried to look around to see if she could locate were she was, but no such luck. If the hangar had windows, she wouldn't see them thanks to the trucks.
After everything, it looks like Josh will win. She just hoped that Don and his team can locate her before it's too late. Maybe Charlie and Amita will be able to come up with an algorithm. Lets just hope.
She heard how the hangar doors opened. Once again, she tried to look around but no luck. She could hear someone walking behind her but she couldn't see anyone. Thanks that she was both bound and gagged, she couldn't do anything at all. Not move and not scream. Then someone walked up next to her. She managed to turn her head just to see Josh stand there with a crazy smile on his face.
"Welcome back, love." He said and looked her straight in the eye. "I know you can't answer me back. But surely you must know that not even that FBI agent of yours can save you now. He might be good looking but not even he is that fast. But hey, hope if that will make you feel better. But just so you know, you drove me to do this. You see, if I cant have you, no one should." He started to walk towards one of the trucks. He stopped and looked back. "I'm really sorry my love, but this is the way it have to be. I'm sorry." Then he climbed up into one of the trucks and started it. He then got out and went to the second truck and did the same on that one. He then left without looking back.
Tessa tried to get out of the handcuffs that he put on her during the time she was unconscious. She could feel the cuffs cutting into her skin and all at that time that she could do was to hope that Don will find her in time.

Back at Charlies house
Don sat at the table ready to break apart. He knew that he had to be strong for Tessa but when the one you love more than life is missing and the man who had taken her is totally out of his mind and he would probably kill her, you can't relax.
"Donnie." Alan tried to get through to him. Don just stared out the window. Alan put a hand on his shoulder but he didn't even react. "Donnie, you have to be strong. If anyone can find Tessa is you guys." This time Don Reacted.
"Dad, she's gone. What if he hurts her?"
"All the more reason to get out there and find her."
Don looked at his father. He knew that Alan was right. He had to find Tessa. She was the reason why he still did the things he do. And if anyone could find her its his team. He had to find her. Don stood up and looked at his dad.
"You're right. I have to find her. 'Cause I'm not going to let her disappear just when I get the guts enough to tell her how I feel! Where is Charlie?"
"In the garage with Larry and Amita. You know how he works when he's nervous."
"Thank you." Don said and turned and walked towards the garage.
"Charlie?!"
"I'm in here Don." Charlie answered and looked back from one of his blackboards at his big brother. He knew Don was about to loose it. But everyone had to be strong for Tessa otherwise she will never come home and he didn't even want to think about what that would do to Don.
"I'm heading back to the office. If we can get you enough information do you think you can come up with an algorithm?"
"Yes. I do. What do you guys think?" Charlie looked at Amita and Larry who were sitting in the sofa.
"Yes, We should be able to do it." Amita answered. "How you holding up Don?"
"Staying strong for Tessa. Do you think its possible to find her?"
"We will find her Don." This time Larry said something.
Don actually looked quite relieved. Maybe there was still hope. But one thing he knows is that he will never take her for granted ever again.

F.B.I Federal Bureau of Investigation
Colby sat by his desk trying to track Brookes down. This guy was smart which he couldn't tell Don. He had enough to think about. He heard the elevator bell and he looked up. He was expecting Don to walk in but instead he saw Liz.
"Hey Liz. I thought you moved back to DC." Colby looked surprised.
"I did. I'm just here to talk to Don. Is he in?"
"No not yet. Uhm…"
Colby stopped in the midle of his sentese and looked at the elevators again. Out stepped Don. Looking exausted and misserable.
Don walked towards them and looked up when he was almost at the bullpen.
"Hey Liz. What are you doing here?" He looked surprised.
"Hey, I needed to talk to you. Do you have a moment?"
"uhm... yeah sure."
Don and Liz walked ito one of the conference rooms.
"What's up?" Don looked at Liz
"uhm... Josh Brooks."
Don got a stern look in his face when she mentioned Josh. "What about him?"
"Look I know him and he cant have done this."
"The man killed Jay, he tried to blow Tessa up and now he has kidnapped her. He is more than capable to do this."
"I'm just saying that I think that you have the wrong guy."
"How do you know him anyway? Ex-boyfriend?"
"No just an old friend." Liz looked at him
