Nicole instinctively turned around at the ear-piercing sound of a gunshot. "Sara." She whispered to herself. "Sara! Sara!" she screamed as took off running the way she was coming from.

------

It took Sara a second to realize what was happening. She felt someone turn her on her back and jump on top of her. She looked up and saw a man on top of her, squeezing his hands around her neck. She tried desperately to fight him off, but was failing. Everything started to go dark. She looked next to her and saw her gun. As she felt him squeeze harder, she grabbed the gun. Once, she had it, she hit the man as hard as she could on the side of his head and knocked him off of her. After some coughing and some much needed breathing, she sat up and realized she knocked him out. Then she heard Nicole's voice from behind. "Sara! Sara, are you okay?"

She ran and helped her up. "I'll live." She stated. Then they looked at the unconscious man. "I think he will, too."

Nicole laughed, but stopped when she looked at Sara's now red neck. "Damn, that's gonna leave a mark. Are you sure you're alright?"

She started rubbing her neck. "I'm fine, promise."

Nicole was relieved to hear that. "When he gets checked out that hospital, so will you."

"Nic, didn't I say I was fine?" she protested.

"Sara Drew, you got two sisters and a daughter that need you. If it turns out you're not alright then what happens to them."

She realized that Nicole was right. "Okay, fine."

They walked over to the man. Nicole bent down and turned him on his back. "Hello, Jacob Resting." She said quietly.

--------

"What's her story?" Pollock asked Collin and Antonio about Jennifer. They were in Pollock's office. Pollock was sitting at his desk and Collin and Antonio were sitting in the chairs in front of it.

"She claims Resting told her that Statley threatened them and the baby." Antonio informed him.

"Okay," Pollock started. "Scott and Drew found Resting. Apparently, he attacked Drew. They're going to the hospital."

"What?!" The other two men yelled together as they stood up.

"Relax, Agents." Pollock said, calmly, almost without emotion. "It's Resting that is in need of medical attention." After a sigh of relief, they sat down. "Besides a bump on the head and a bruise on her neck, she's okay. Apparently, Resting knocked her to the ground, then unsuccessfully tried to strangle her."

Antonio looked confused. "Where was Nicole during all this?"

"They split up. It doesn't matter, though. Drew was capable of knocking his ass out without her." All of them, even Pollock, let out a chuckle.

------

At the hospital, Nicole and Sara sat in the waiting room, waiting to see if Resting had awakened. Sara was holding an ice pack on the back of her head. An hour went by and no one came. "How's your head?"

Sara smiled. "I'm alive, right?"

Nicole laughed. "You did good, girl. I pity the next idiot that tries to take you down. Trust me, there will be more."

"I don't doubt it."

A man in a white lab coat came out to the waiting room to see them. "I'm Doctor Bryant. Mr. Resting is a wake and alert. Besides a bump on the head, he's fine."

The two agents stood up from their chairs. "Can he have visitors?" Nicole asked.

"Yes, but I'm admitting him for tonight." He replied

Sara sighed. Guess I hit him too hard.

-------

Nicole and Sara entered Resting's hospital room. "Whatever evidence you chicks think you have, you're wrong."

Nicole smiled. "Really, well, you got you on accessory to kidnapping, murder, and, not to mention, assaulting Agent Drew." She teased.

Resting just laughed. "You bitches got nothing. By the way, who did I supposedly murder?"

"Manuel Vega. Two weeks ago." Sara said, giving him a picture of Vega's body.

He laughed harder. "Two weeks ago I was robbing a gas station." He pushed the nurses call button.

"We didn't say when two weeks ago he was killed." Nicole hissed.

A nurse came in. "Nurse, please tell these agents to leave."

"Ladies." She started. "Please leave."

--------

"Hey, I hear you knocked out you're first idiot." Antonio teased. Nicole and Sara returned to headquarters. Sara went to her desk and started typing and Nicole went to the whiteboard and started writing to information they just received down.

"Funny, but not my first idiot." Sara replied, not looking up from the computer.

"Really?" Antonio asked, raising an eyebrow. She stopped typing, looked up and gave him a You-Don't-Want-To-Know look. "Okay, point taken." He walked over to Nicole. "What did you get from Resting?"

"Oh, he wasn't committing one crime because he was busy committing another." She finished writing and looked at him.

"Well, Jennifer wants nothing to do with him." Antonio said as he handed her Jennifer's statement. As she read it, Antonio rubbed his forehead with two of his fingers. He was tired, but wasn't planning on going to sleep. No, not with his friend and partner out there, in trouble. Nicole looked up from the paper and caught him.

"Get some sleep." She ordered.

"I will, if you will." He knew she wouldn't.

"Neither of you are going to be any help to Mastriani, if you run your overworked selves into the ground. Get some rest." Pollock said, overhearing their conversation as he walked in.

"Sir, Jess is still out there." Nicole protested.

"Scott, that's an order. Now GO!" He ordered. He turned to Sara. "Drew, go find McNeil before he does something stupid."

-------

After a long drive, Collin went back to his apartment. After he walked in his door and closed it, he lost all control. He grabbed the nearest object, which was his TV remote, and threw it across the room. It hit a wall and broke. He started punching the walls, throwing things, and breaking things. He didn't care to stop and think about what he was doing. He was so distraught, sad, and angry, he had to take it out on something.

-------

Sara was in Collin's apartment building. She was holding a small piece of paper with Collin's address on it. She heard crashing and bang down the hall. She ran towards the noise. She opened one of the doors and saw Collin going out if his mind. "Collin!" she yelled, as she tried to restrain him. "Collin, stop." She said, calmer.

He started to calm down and rested his head on Sara's shoulder. "I miss her, Sara. I need her back." He sobbed.

She patted his head. "You have to believe that we will find her and she will be okay. Hang on to that, okay?" He looked up at her and nodded. "Let's get back to Headquarters, okay?"

A/N: I apologize for how long it is taking me to post these new chapters. I'm a senior in High School and trying to pass so I can graduate. Chemistry=HELL!! I'm thinking of doing the next chapter with the three suspects. It may take longer to post, because I am thinking of ideas. Please bear with me!
