I'm sorry it has taken so long for me to update but I had it very busy these last few weeks.
6.01 u: When Martin arrived at the office one minute too late, he had no idea that this day would turn in one of his worst nightmares. Walking in the bullpen he looked for Samantha with no success. Vivian and Danny were already sitting there.
"No Sam?" Martin asked when he went to sit down.
"Nope, and if she doesn't arrive in five minutes someone is gonna be pissed." Danny replied glancing at Jack's office. "Wait, no make it one." He corrected himself as they saw Jack exiting his office.
"Where's Samantha?" Jack asked as he didn't notice her.
"Not here." Danny said.
"Call her and tell her to get her ass here immediately. We've got two missing and I got no time for agents who come late." Jack said a bit angry. Samantha normally was always on time and if she wanted to come late she had to chose another day to do that.
"Viv, you and I are gonna have a serious talk with Sarah's mother. Danny, you found everything there is too find about Mike Mc Grady, friends, girlfriends fail marks on his report, everything.
Martin, you wait for Samantha to arrive and then you two go talk to Melissa again. We've got to figure out who this Luis guy really was."
"Ok." They all said and while Martin picked up his phone, Vivian took her jacket and followed Jack out of the office and Danny went to his computer. Martin went to the balcony and waited for Samantha to pick up her phone, which didn't happen.
He hung up when he heard her answering machine and went back inside.
He wasn't really worrying although it was pretty strange she didn't pick up. Deciding that she should arrive any minute he decided he would do a full background check on George Finn.
6.50 u: Martin had already called Samantha at least five times but there was still no sign of her and he was starting to get worried.
If she was sick she would have called and she looked fine yesterday evening. Maybe a bit tired and a bit confused but not sick. She would also answer her phone if she was sick so that was out of the question.
So what was it then? He wanted to check her apartment.
Jack and Vivian hadn't returned yet but Danny was still at the office.
Seeing him sitting behind his computer he decided that he should ask him to come with.
"Danny, I'm gonna check Sam's apartment, you coming?"
"Yeah ok. But don't you think were overreacting? I mean she could have forgot the hour or something?" Also Danny was worried, but admitting it, no way. He would never admit it.
"She would have heard her cell phone. So you're coming?"
"Yeah, just wait a sec."
Seeing Martin was eager to go, Danny quickly saved his founding's took his jacket and followed him.
After ten minutes of racing they arrived in front of her apartment.
They noticed her Samantha's car standing there and that calmed them down for a bit.
Martin quickly entered the building and almost ran up the stairs. Danny was a bit calmer and on that way also slower until he heard Martin yell.
He quickly ran upstairs to Sam's door finding it wide open. He didn't remember Martin having the key so she must have let him in. "Sam, Martin where are you guys?" Danny yelled while entering Samantha's apartment.
"I'm here." Martin said as he walked out of Samantha's bedroom.
"Her door was wide open and she's not here. Something is definitely wrong Danny."
"I know." Danny said as he looked around, something was definitely wrong, he thought.
"I'm calling Jack." Martin said.
"Yeah, I'm gonna check the rest of her apartment, see if something's damaged or gone, or something." Danny said and he walked to her kitchen part looking for anything out of place.
Danny hated admitting it but the chance that Samantha was abducted or kidnapped was big.
Meanwhile Martin was just of the phone with Jack. He had told Martin to immediately return to the office, he would also do that.
On this moment Martin wanted to reverse time, he had been thinking of calling or visiting Samantha yesterday evening but he stopped himself by thinking he would see her today and now she was gone. He didn't even knew if she regretted kissing him or if she didn't.
He hoped deeply that she didn't but he was doubting about that.
7.25 u: When they arrived back at the office, Danny and Martin noticed Jack and Vivian were already there.
Walking in the bullpen Martin noticed Samantha's picture on a new white board, standing next to another one with Jack 1's picture and timeline and another one with Sarah's picture.
This case was getting too big for them.
"What did you saw?" Jack asked Danny. Martin's call had been frantic and short. The only thing he had understand was that Martin & Danny had gone to her apartment and that they had found enough prove to claim her missing. When he noticed Martin's worried look he decided it was best to ask Danny.
Danny quickly answered Jack's question glancing at Martin now and then.
"Ok, this is gonna be our prior case but we still got two other missing. So, Martin you keep working on Jack's case and.."
"Jack." Martin interrupted. "You can't put me of Samantha's case, please."
"Martin, you're too personally involved."
"Too personally? If you're indicating that I had a past relationship with her then you're also. If you're indicating that I care for her then we're all personally involved, so what do you chose?"
It was the first time Martin had ever mentioned his or Jack's past relationship with Samantha and Jack and the rest were a bit stunned by it.
"Martin." Jack started but this time Danny interrupted him.
"Stop it Jack. You're not gonna convince him. I'll work on Jack 1's case."
Danny said knowing that Martin was indeed unstoppable when he had put his mind on something. Definitely if this involved a certain pretty blonde agent.
"Ok." Jack said, knowing it was maybe better like that. "Vivian, you work on Sarah's case and Danny call Elena, we need her here."
Jack looked at Danny, wondering if Martin putting on Samantha's case had been a dump idea but then turned to Martin. Danny walked of while taking his cell phone and dialling a number.
"Martin." Jack warned him. "If I see you losing control or something, I'll put you of this case in no time, ok." But he knew deep in side that if Martin would do that, himself, Danny and all the rest of the team would also do that.
Knowing Martin and Samantha pretty good, he noticed that things between them had been tensing up the last days and knowing that Martin still loved Samantha terribly, he knew that this case would be the hardest on him. At the beginning, when he had found out about their relationship he maybe had been a bit uncomfortable about it but he was as sorry as the rest was when he heard about their break-up.
Samantha and Martin deserved each other that was for sure.
Jack, himself had noticed the office becoming colder and quieter without Samantha, something of his warmth was lost.
Samantha was gone and he as sure as hell knew that he wanted her to come back.
Through his thought he noticed that Martin had gone off and he decided that it was best if he informed his boss about this.
When Elena found her cell phone ringing and saw it was Danny, she wasn't happy. Thinking of picking up for a few seconds she decided it was maybe better if she did.
"Elena Delgado."
"Elena, it's Danny." She heard on the other side, and even though it was a bad connection, she heard on his voice that something was wrong.
"Yeah, what's the matter. What happened? Why are you calling?"
"We need you to come back, to New York?"
"Danny are you serious. I'm at a funeral here, I can't just leave."
"Elena, this is serious…. Samantha's missing."
"What?" Elena yelled. She had become real close friends with Samantha and she cared a lot for her.
"What happened? Danny tell me."
"We only know that she didn't arrive at work this morning and that we found her apartment door wide open but no Sam. Right now we're thinking of kidnapping, but actually we don't know anything yet."
"Is it linked to another case you're working on. She wasn't working undercover or something?" Elena asked, she had gone to sit down. She had already made up her mind, she was flying to New York.
"We don't know yet. She wasn't undercover and we were already working on a double case. Jack Harrison, thirty-two and his half-sister, fifteen."
"Harrison from the company?"
"Yes. So we've got a lot of press. But of course only on his, his sister is a bastard child, so."
"How long are they missing?"
"A day, we don't know how long his sister is missing. She could be missing over a week. So, does this mean that you're coming?"
"Of course, did you still doubted that."
"No, I never did and Jack already arranged you a flight. It's this afternoon at four at Barcelona. I will pick you up at the airport here. How late is it there?"
"Half past one."
"Ok, so you'll probably will be here at four. Call me right before the flight, then I'll give you our latest founding's."
"Right, I guess I'll see you there."
"Yeah, see you soon."
"Oh, and Danny. How's Martin doing?" Everyone at the office knew Martins feelings for Samantha.
"Good, considering. I hope he keeps it that way. He's put on Sam's case together with Jack. I'm searching Jack and Vivian his half-sister. This case's growing over our heads, Elena. We don't even know if we can do this case. Jack's talking to Olczyk now, so."
"Ok, Danny keep an eye on Martin, will you. If there's one thing that can break him, it's…."
"Samantha, I know and I will."
"Thanks,… Bye."
"Bye."
When Elena hung up she was so full with her thought about Samantha that she nearly forgot the fact she was still at a funeral and that she had to tell her family that she had to go. 'Great' she thought, but she couldn't be angry she was too worried for that.
