What now?
Kowalski walked alongside Elaine as they headed towards the Bail Hostel that Bolt had called home since his release from prison. He was still worried about his friend but couldn't shake the feeling that Elaine was right. There was no way Bolt had the intelligence or the means to do what he did without help. He paused as Diefenbaker whined.
"I know." He looked down at the half wolf. "Frase will be fine."
"I hope so." Elaine sighed. "Thatcher looked distraught."
"Yeah, well those two have been close since we all came back to Chicago." He smiled "Real close."
"Like you and Assistant States Attorney Beckett?" Elaine teased. "What is it with you and attorneys?"
"I guess I go for brains aswell as beauty. Which is why I've always been in love with you Elaine. But you insist on ignoring me." He held a hand over his heart dramatically as Elaine laughed.
"Yeah, right."
"Don't put yourself down Elaine. You are a beautiful woman. Any guy would be lucky to have you."
"Now you sound like my dad."
"Well, he's a wise old man." Kowalski ushered the half wolf across the road to the Bail Hostel's entrance as Elaine looked at him. Something about what he had said made her think he hadn't been teasing her as he usually did. She shook her head and pushed all thoughts of his teasing her to the back of her mind. She had to concentrate on the job in front of her. Someone else had helped Bolt abduct Meg and Fraser and she intended to find out who .

"A baby?"
"Yes Fraser that is what being pregnant normally refers to." Meg wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.
"And Bolt was going to shoot us."
"I know." Meg closed her eyes as she thought about how close they had been to loosing everything. She knew there were hundreds of criminals in both their pasts that would love the chance Bolt had found. There was more than one psychopath that would like to see them both dead.
"I'm going to be a dad. A father?"
"You are." Meg smiled as he linked his fingers through her's. "What do you think of that?"
"It's amazing. I mean. I never, after what happened I thought the doctors said you. You know."
"After you found me in Ottawa? Yes the doctors said I was so badly injured that I may not be able to concieve but it seems they were wrong." Meg smiled.
"We're having a baby." Fraser smiled as Meg nodded.
"Yes, we are."
"I told you son." Fraser snr appeared in the corner of the room as Fraser closed his eyes and inwardly groaned. He knew his father would appear sometime but he was dismayed to see his tact was as non existant in life was still abscent in death. He wanted to scream but knew several people had already questioned his sanity. Meg was one of them.
"Yes."
"I told you babies were in the air. I told you son, that grandchildren were on the way." He smiled as he saw his son look at him and silently beg him to leave. "Right you are son. Right you are." He disappeared as quickly as he had arrived as Meg leant forward and kissed her fiance.

"FRANCESCA!" Welsh yelled from behind his desk.
"Sir?" Francesca stuck her head around the office door.
"Have you spoken to either Elaine or Kowalski in the last half hour?"
"No sir."
"Did they say where they were going?" Welsh rubbed a hand over his tired features. He just wanted to go home. It was all getting too much. Not for the first time he wondered if he should take early retirement.
"No, but I'll call Ray. He'll know if anyone does."
"Thank you." Welsh sighed. He couldn't shake the feeling that both Elaine and Kowalski had managed to walk headlong into danger. He prayed he was wrong but he knew that there was a very high chance Kowalski had done just that.
