A/N: Some of you have asked about the length of the recent chapters. It is not necessarily on purpose or strategic, it has more to do the fact that I have a lot less time than I did before because I am currently doing a grueling summer teacher training for my new career as a middle school science teacher. Therefore, it has been really hard to find the time to write. I'm a reader as well as a writer. I know I hate waiting, so I rather give you guys something if I have it rather than save it on my computer and wait to add to it. If length is really an issue for you then I can make them longer, but updates will definitely take longer. So choose: long chapters once a week or short updates every three days or so.

Guest: I'm not a big fan of flashbacks. They're just awkward if you don't really know how to place them. I rather have the characters reminisce, by talking about the past. It usually makes for good dialogue. I may include that in the next chapter. If you've been following my other stories you'd know I don't really plan these things out lol. We'll see what I do. I'm meeting my eighth graders tomorrow so I'll plan after that!

Let me know if I missed any questions! Enjoy!


"What do we know about him?" Dom asked Brian in his office later that night.

"Dom I can't tell you. If I do, they'll take me off the case. The chief has eyes on me because they already think I'm too personally connected to this kidnapping. I wasn't even supposed to give you a name, so let me do my job."

"I have to do mine. I'm his father." Dom stressed.

"I know-"

"No you don't." He said cutting Brian off. "Don't worry about it though. A name is all I need."

"Dom what are you gonna do?"

"O'Conner don't ask questions you don't want answers to."

"Listen man, don't do anything crazy. Let me find him. We have forty-three hours before this trail goes cold. I don't plan on sleeping during that time. I'll do anything to find him."

"And what am I supposed to do? Wait around while my kid is alone with a sociopath?"

"I don't want you to make a mistake in where I'm placing handcuffs on you by the end of this."

"Brian do what you gotta do. I'm gonna do what I gotta do." Dom said before walking out of the police station. He drove to his father's home. It was the only place he felt his family could be safe. He made his way inside. Letty had brought Alexus and Mazda over a few hours before. He found his father sitting at the kitchen table and sat across from him. "Pops I don't know what to do. It's like I can't do one thing without risking another. What would you do?" Dom was at a loss. He had so many things running through his mind. On the one hand he wanted to run after Jensen, but on the other, he had to make sure Mazda and Alexus were both looked after.

"You don't mess with a man's family, let alone his children." Tony answered.

"If I get a hold of him, I'll kill him. I don't think I'd be able to stop myself."

"I can't say I would be able to either."

"What if I'm too late?" Dom asked Tony biting his lip trying to hold back tears from spilling. "What if that son of a bitch already hurt Jensen?"

"Dominic until you know for sure, you dig and you search. Whether it takes hours or years, it doesn't matter. You never give up faith on your children." Dom gave him a firm nod before rising from his seat.

"You're right. I gotta go find Jessie. Is Letty upstairs?"

"Yeah, hopefully she's in bed. I slipped a sedative in her tea when she wasn't looking. She really needed it."

"I doubt she is. I don't think a horse tranquilizer would put her down." Tony gave his son a sad smirk before Dom made his way upstairs to search for his wife. He opened the door to his old bedroom and found Alexus and Mazda cuddled up on his former bed. Mazda lay on her tummy with her thumb in her mouth, while Alexus' arm fell lightly on her tiny back. It hurt him to acknowledge one of his hellions had gone missing. His thoughts were interrupted by Letty's voice which came from afar.

"Yes, I'm sure that's the name, Peter Michael Flint." Dom could hear her in the bathroom. He opened the door and found her in the empty tub on her phone. Letty did not acknowledge his presence and proceeded with her conversation. "Nicole he works there. He has to be on payroll." Letty argued with the track manager's secretary.

"I'm sorry I'm not seeing the name."

"What about Bobby?"

"Bobby what?"

"I don't know! He told me his name was Bobby." Letty insisted. Her impatience was rapidly boiling over.

"I'll do a search right now." Nicole told her. "There's a Robert Slone. That's the closest thing to a Bobby that I have on the roster."

"Is he a custodian?" Letty asked with urgency.

"No, he's a manager. I can send you his ID picture and you can tell me if it's any help."

"Yes, please!"

"Just for the record, don't tell anyone about this. I don't want to lose my job."

"Understood", Letty affirmed. "Did you send it?"

"Just one second; check now." Nicole told her.

"Thank you. I'll call you back." Letty looked for the picture message and watched as the photo loaded on her screen. Unfortunately, the picture was not of P. Letty took her phone and smashed it against the wall. "God damn it!"

"Let..." Dom began cautiously coming up beside her.

"I'm not crazy." Letty said feeling herself unravel.

"No one thinks that."

"I've spoken to him several times. I'd always see him in uniform with a bucket and a mop. He told me that his name was Bobby and that he lived with his sick mother. I even gave him an autograph and a hug once. He seemed so nice." Letty cried.

"He obviously lied. How were you supposed to know otherwise?" Dom told her softly caressing her cheek.

"I should have known. I read people better than that."

"I'm gonna find him Let. I know I will."

"I don't know what I'd do if something happened to him." Letty sobbed. "This isn't fair! I was better with him. I was so much better with him!" Dom got in the tub and embraced her.

"Baby don't do this."

"I don't know what I did. What did I do to deserve this?"

"You loved him and you gave him everything you could. That's what you did. You make him happier than anyone else can, and you'll keep doing it once I find him."

"He can't go to sleep if I don't tuck him in and kiss his forehead."

"You will. He needs me to check for monsters under his bed. Remember when Alexus was born and you didn't believe me when I said he'd come home?"

"But I deserved it then, I really did. I didn't deserve to be his mother. You picked up all the pieces, but with Jensen it was different. I tried so hard with Jensen. I wanted to be a better mother. You know? I was older. I could handle it better."

"You're an amazing mother to all of them including Mazda. The only person to blame here is that sick fuck who took our son." Dom said grabbing her face and wiping her tears. "Don't forget he's my baby too."

"I don't know what to do." Letty sobbed and handed him a letter. "It was at the house. I don't know where to look. It's dead ends everywhere." Dom took the letter and read it. 'My dearest Leticia, I ache to touch your skin and kiss your supple lips. I dream of the day when we'll be reunited so that we can go off together, just the two of us. They told me we would soon be so I know that it is a very near future. Although it is taking a little longer than we would like, I have a plan to rid us of all these roadblocks. I hope you understand that what I do is for us. I love you. P'

"That son of a bitch!" Dom growled crumpling the paper in his hand.

"I can't stay here and do nothing. I just can't." Letty told him.

"I need you to watch the kids. I can't trust them to be safe with anyone else." Dominic attempted to persuade. He honestly did not want his two other children in the hands of another considering Jensen went missing on his sister's watch.

"No, I have to search. Mami can watch Mazda. Alexus can stay here. We can have Brain send a few people to guard the houses."

"Letty..."

"I have to find him Dominic. I just have to." He gave her an understanding nod. He could not blame her for wanting what he too desired.

"I'm going to Jessie's, hopefully we can find a few more traces that Brian isn't telling us about."

"Yeah let's start there." Letty sniffled. "God I need to get it together." She huffed wiping her face.

"If you really want to do this, then you do. You can't go into this with a foggy mind Letty. You need to be clear headed for all this if we want to find Jensen."

"You're right. Crying doesn't get me anywhere." Letty said standing up and stepping out of the tub. She turned on the faucet and splashed cool water on her skin to rid herself of the residue and snot on her face, while Dom waited for her to gather herself in the hallway.

"Lets go." She said stoically rushing past him. Letty decided that she preferred Dom's approach best. Sadness would not surpass the anger she felt inside. Anger and vengeance allowed for greater levels of clarity and execution. They arrived at Jessie's apartment minutes later.

"Thanks man, I really appreciate it." Dom told the groggy young man. He had literally jumped out of his bed when Dom called. It was three in the morning and everyone had just gotten word of Jensen's disappearance.

"Don't worry man. It's totally cool." Jessie greeted giving Dom a sorrowful hug. "I can't believe this is happening. How you doing Letty?"

"Lets not talk about that. Where's your computer?" She redirected without a proper greeting.

"I already got it set up. I found a few things." Jessie informed them gesturing to his fully equipped office.

"Does he hurt kids?" Dom asked, wanting to know what P was capable of.

"I'm not sure, but I wouldn't put it past him. He's a bipolar schizophrenic." Jessie began reading the man's profile. "He's done a couple stints in jail for assault, then he spent a year in a mental institution after he accosted an eighty year old woman at a park, but got released nine months ago."

"What's he been doing since then? You know, besides obsessing about me?"

"Living with his mother out in Fontana", Jessie answered her.

"Well that explains how he was able to get to the track so often. He was right there all along." Letty pointed out to her husband.

"So this guy is mentally irregular; meaning he could hurt Jensen right?" Dom asked Jessie.

"If he's off his meds, he could kill anyone in the wrong mindset." Dom took in his words and decided to act fast. Jensen had been missing for almost eleven hours and there was no time to waste.

"Jessie keep digging. Call me with any new info. Letty lets go pay his mother a visit."
