Hey everyone, hope everyone's had a good week! After that previous doozy of a chapter, this is just a little filler to get us into the next big doozy coming up.

Disclaimer: I do not own Revenge, nor do I profit from this story. This is merely a figment of my imagination!

Third POV:

Arrayah can't believe it. Her Daddy is out there, and so is Mommy. This is not good. Nolan promised her Mommy would back! She's mad at him for it, and she can't help the tears falling when Nolan comes into the room and he is informed of the situation.

"The basement. There's a basement under some green carpet." Arrayah chokes out as Nolan tries to embrace her in a hug, but she turns him away.

"I will inform the officers of that. Nolan why don't you take Arrayah home and we will call you." Detective Green offers.

"Alright, please keep me informed on the investigation." Nolan picks Arrayah up, and she cries into his shoulder, wishing for her Mommy to be safe. He puts Arrayah in the back seat and hops in the driver side and drives to his apartment. It takes all self-control for him not to break down right there, but what's stopping him is the young girl letting out heart-wrenching sobs in the back seat.

"Ray, I am so sorry." Nolan finally speaks up.

"You lied, Nolan! You promised Mommy would be found and Daddy would be caught!" She yells. Nolan slams his brakes, stunned by her outburst, and almost runs into the car in front of him.

"Arrayah I know you are upset with me, and I apologize for lying, but, please, while I am driving, no more yelling, it won't get us anywhere." Nolan says calmly; yelling at her will not help the situation at all. It would probably make things worse. He pulls into the awning, lets Arrayah out and hands the keys to the valet. He picks her up, much to her detests, and carries her to the elevator. They make it to his apartment, where he finally puts her down. She runs to his room and closes the door. The loud click tells him she locked it. He sighs and goes over to the couch where he lies down and lets a few tears escape. He isn't just crying for him, he's crying for everyone: Arrayah, Emily, David, Padma, and all the other victims of Conrad and his sick group of investors. He doesn't allow himself to become hysterical, Arrayah needs him and he needs to help find Emily.

He dries his tears and walks over to his bedroom door.

He clears his throat. "Arrayah, we need to talk." He says through the door, but only hears her muffled cries. He decides to unlock the door and walks in. He sees Arrayah face down in the pillows, her small body taken over by sobs. He sits next to her, and rubs her back, hoping to calm her down.

"Arrayah, I can't express how sorry I am. There is a bright side to this, though." Nolan informs her.

"What?" He hears through the pillows.

"Since they didn't find your Mommy, she may still be alive. She is probably with your dad, which means when the police find him, they will probably find her."

"Really?" Arrayah says, lightly turning to lie on her side.

"Hopefully, the police are working very hard, and I will offer my help if needed."

"What if he comes here? He's probably really mad now." Arrayah sniffles.

"I will protect us, and I will tell the doorman not to let him up here, also they have to ask me through a special device whether to allow anyone up here."

"Promise?" The redness from crying is making her blue eyes more noticeable.

Nolan contemplates this, he can't promise something that could happen, "Arrayah, I can't, but I will try to keep you safe." He sees her tear-streaked face fall, if possible, even further. They both sit in silence, with Arrayah sniffling and Nolan wishing he could take back what he just said.

Arrayah is the first to break the silence, "Nolan, do you think Mommy knows they are looking for her?"

"Of course; she knows you're out here, so she's probably fighting so you can be together." Nolan reassures her.

"Nolan what happens when they find her?"

"She will go to the doctor to make sure she's healthy, and I will offer her to stay with me, but it's her choice."
"Will I go with her?" Arrayah wouldn't mind living with Nolan and her Mommy. He seems like he loves her, like all the other Mommy's and Daddy's she saw when the other kids and her class were picked up from school.

"If the doctor clear her, then probably. You are her daughter, and I'm just the fairy Godfather." Nolan smirks at his attempt to lighten the mood.

"Where would we go if she decided to take me with her?" Arrayah asks, wiping her eyes.

"I would guess her house." He shrugs, not knowing how Emily will be if, when, they find her.

"The house I ran into?" She asks. Nolan nods and Arrayah quickly asks another question, "Why wouldn't she want to stay with you?"

"Your mom and I had a small argument before she left and she may still be mad at me."
"If you say you're sorry, will she stay?"

"We will have to see when they find your mom." Nolan says, and hears his stomach growl and chuckles.

"I don't know about you, but I am absolutely famished. What do you say that I treat you to some of New York's Chinese best food?" Nolan wipes her remaining tears off her face with his sleeve, and offers her is hand. She shyly takes it and exits the apartment.

A/N- As I said, it's short and next chapter will be much better! :)
