THURSDAY MORNING 6AM

"Yeah, Margaret thanks." Leo could be heard outside his office. "I'll just be in here for a while."

Leo walked to his desk and stopped for a moment. He took a breath and made his way to his desk throwing himself into his chair, and slowly and with much precision and holding of emotion he slowly began to cry. Leo laid his hand from his forehead and his chin and covered the sound. After a moment he took a breath and led his hand over his face to relive it of its tears.

"Yeah, Charlie?" The President asked him as he entered The Oval Office.

"Mr. President, CJ's brother."

"Which one?"

"I think they're both on the phone, sir."

"Yeah." Jed lowered his head and then looked at Toby. "I have to take this call-- I never thought I'd have a Cregg boy on the other end of that phone. Never in a million years."

*************************

The aides in the Communications office watched the TV coverage of CJ's disappearance on CNN when all their attention was moved to Toby's office.

The sound of a large crash, the sound of glass breaking hard, and mangled metal was heard through the communications bullpen. All the aides looked at each other as Bonnie, back to help out after her promotion to the DOD, walked with quick strides to Toby's office opening the door without knocking, catching first the site of the broken Television crashed in and sparking for a moment.

"Toby!" she yelled taking her focused on him while still handing onto the doorknob. Toby stood saying nothing his baseball missing from view.

**************************

Josh lifted his head off of CJ's couch. He had sat for a moment but resting his head back at caused him to sleep. He saw the light just setting on another day and caught his eye on CJ's fish. Josh walked behind CJ's desk and took out a small can of fish food. Josh sat himself on the edge of the CJ's desk and ran the fish food through his fingers and into the bowl.

"Hey?" Toby spoke by the door.

"Hey."

"What are you doing here?" Toby asked.

"I'm feeding CJ's fish."

"Oh."

"Why are you here?"

"I wanted to watch CNN." He paused.

"What's wrong with yours—?"

"It has a baseball in it." Toby walked onto the room and sat down.

"Ahh" Toby sat down on the couch with a

"Josh?"

"Toby that was a great statement you wrote—"

"Yeah, thanks—"

"If you hadn't done that---"

"Yeah."

"---You got every women's group, every national committee for the missing and vanished—all of them railing---you're the reason they up-ed the investigation—"

"The reason they up-ed the investigation is because they found a dirty cloth with CJ'S BLOOD ON IT!"

"Before that!"

"Yeah, I knew what you meant." There was a silence.

"Were doing all we can?"

"Do you believe that?"

"Do I believe it—no? Do I know its true---yes." Toby nodded his head from side to side and ignored Josh.

"How did you come up with that?"

"With what?"

'The concept for Bartet's address."

Toby took a pause and looked at Josh point black.

"I asked myself." He paused. "What would CJ do?" Donna's voice could be heard through Carol's office. Donna said flustered.

"Donna what's going on?" Josh spoke as he ran his palms together to lift the fish food form his hand. Donna eye bowled

"There's news—"Donna grabbed a breath from having ran around the building looking for Josh,.

"What news?" Toby perked up.

"They found Danny's car—"Donna looked like a dear in headlights.

"Where?" Toby stood.

"They raided an old cabin in North Carolina. It was hidden in an old barn." Donna paused before speaking again and by her face and body language Josh and Toby knew there was more.

"What is it Donna?"

"They found blood." Donna eyes welled. Josh and Toby perked up immediately. There stomach's curling with the news. 'There pretty sure it's----Danny and CJ's." Josh opened his mouth and before Donna could let out her first tear Toby and Josh had speed out her CJ's office, Josh wrapping his arm around the doorway as he past to push him off. ________________________________________________________________________
