A/N: I tried to upload this one with the other two last night, but was having trouble so here it is, sorry to give you a little teaser, but the next chapter won't be up until i get another typed up. Seriously, the only way to keep this story flowing at a steady rate w/o any lag time is to be patient and let me type LOL... i really don't want this one taking as long as TFB did.

A frantic Daniel opened the door to Jack and Sam, quickly ushering the couple into the house. Sam immediately waddled her way over to where Janet was pacing nervously in front of the couch in the living room.

Sam hugged her friend as tightly as both their pregnant stomachs would allow. The "Doctor" had left the building as soon as Reynolds had called back informing them Derek was gone and had taken one of the base's SUV's, leaving only the fearful mother in it's place.

"How could he do this, Sam? He's like a brother to her," Janet sobbed into her best friend's shoulder.

"I don't know," Sam whispered back to her. "I just don't know."

Jerry and Amanda were sitting on the couch, holding each other, fearful for their son's life.

Sam released Janet and lowered herself onto the cushion next to Amanda. "How are you holding up?"

"They just wanted to go out and have a little fun," Amanda cried. Jerry held her tighter, knowing he had to be strong for her.

Jack turned from where he'd been deep in conversation with Daniel and sat down on the edge of the coffee table, the younger man pacing behind him.

"Jerry, Amanda, we're going to do all we can to find the kids. We're already getting our teams assembled; they'll be meeting us at the base. First, though, we need more information. We're going to have to interview all the kids they went there with, the security detail at the pavilion, and anyone else we can find who might have seen them. I won't lie to you, this is going to take some time. We won't get any leads right away, so I don't want you to get your hopes up."

Jerry nodded his understanding. Had it been coming from anyone other than Jack and Daniel he would have felt insulted, but he knew Cassie, though originally adopted by Dr. Fraiser, was as much as daughter to the two men as any natural born child.

"Now, I need a list of the kids you knew were going to be there. Daniel and I will personally interview all of them and their parents."

A/N: please feed me more reviews??
