Brittany walked into her house and smiled at the smell of pizza coming from the kitchen. She had been late getting out of work and called Shay and told them to order a pizza for dinner. She threw her bag down on the kitchen counter and grabbed a slice. She ate the entire thing in about four bites, she was starving. After she ate her pizza she walked into the living room to try and find her kids. She froze in the doorway at the sight, it would have been adorable if it weren't so heartbreaking. Her three kids were sitting in the living room, Mike was on the couch reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Shay was laying on the couch, her head on his shoulder, headphones in her ears writing things down in one of the many notebooks she had that no one was allowed to read. Next to her, Tony was sitting at the edge, his legs up on his sisters lap, watching TV.
If the situation were different Brittany wouldn't have hesitated to snap a picture on her phone and send it to Santana. But she couldn't do that now, they weren't trying to be cute, they were like this because they were upset and needed to be close to one another. None of them had noticed Brittany in the doorway yet so she stood there for another few seconds. She then walked quietly over to them and kissed the top of Mike's head, he jumped a mile in his seat.
"Ay dios mio, Mom!" he yelled in fright, "When the hell did you get so quiet?"
Brittany laughed at her sons spanish and then kissed her other two children on the top of the head as well. She plopped down in the chair opposite her children and smiled at them. She knew that their smiles back were forced and she also knew that it was time to address that, she could no longer keep avoiding it.
"How are you guys all doing?" she asked in a serious voice so they knew that she wasn't talking about their school day.
"Fine." all three kids replied at once.
"You aren't fine, do you want to know why I know that? You three never spend time like that together, only when you are upset. You need to talk about it with me. If it helps I'll talk about how much I miss your Mami. Would that help?" Brittany said, knowing the only way that she could get her kids to show anything she would have to show her own weak side. After she said this all three of them nodded.
"You never talk about your feelings Mommy. I think it will help you." Tony said sounding a lot older than he was.
"Tony's right Mom, you need to talk just as much as we do." Shay said. Mike stayed silent but nodded along with his brother and sister.
"Okay, I will talk then. I miss your Mami, so much I have never been away from her from this long since I met her. It hurts, I worry so much for her and for you three because I know that this is hurting you just as much as it is hurting me, its awful." Brittany said, she knew there was so much more she could say but she didn't want to seem to weak in front of her children.
Finn was sitting in the living room with Rachel, Lea and Liam were fast asleep in their beds. They were having some much needed alone time. They were watching the evening news when the phone rang. Finn picked it up and gasped.
"Its a base number, what is its about-"
"They'd call Brittany..." Rachel said uncertainly.
"No, they'd call me to be there when she found out."
"Answer it Finn."
"Hello?" Finn answered nervously.
"Officer Hudson, this is Colonel Montgomery, I need you to come onto base immediately it is regarding the disappearance of Officer Lopez and your kidnapping." the gruff voice on the other line said.
"Did you find her?" Finn said, he was getting hopeful.
"Possibly, I need you to come to the conference room in the building where you work as soon as you can, it may be a matter of the life and death of Officer Lopez, and please don't breath a word of this to Mrs. Pierce." he said.
"Ten minutes, I'll be there in ten minutes." Finn said. "I just need to change."
"Hudson! There is no time for that I don't care what your wearing just get here!"
"On my way." he said and hung up.
"Finn?" Rachel asked, she seemed hopeful that Santana had been found.
"I don't know Rach, I don't know what is going on but I will tell you everything when I get back, don't say anything to Brittany, nothing." Finn said as he slid into his shoes, jacket and grabbed his car keys. He kissed his wife quickly before jumping into his car and speeding to his desired destination. Once he got there he jumped out of his car and sprinted into the building.
"Hudson!" Colonel Montgomery said as he entered, there were a few other uniformed officers in the room. Finn stood in a pair of grey sweat pants, a white t-shirt and converse.
"Colonel, sir what is going on?" Finn asked looking around the room.
"We have discovered a possible location that Officer Lopez could be, we managed to capture some photographs of a few of the men outside the compound. I need you to look at them and tell me if you recognize anyone, we have a team in Afghanistan standing by if you can identify one of these men as your captors." he said pushing a pile of photos towards Finn.
Finn started flipping through the pictures and at first didn't recognize anyone. But when he got to the second to last picture he knew exactly who he was, it was him, their captor.
"Him! Thats him, Sir." Finn said.
"Hudson, are you sure, are you one hundred percents sure?" he asked.
"I'll never be able to get his face out of my head."
"I knew it, Alex Smith."
"Oh my god! Its Alex Smith?" Finn said, he had clearly forgotten about him, the soldier he and Santana had worked with years ago. Now that he knew it made total sense. That is how he knew about them! "I am positive that that is him."
"I'm calling."
Santana was laying flat on her back on the cool floor of her cell. She was thinking of random memories with her wife, friends, and kids when the door burst open. She gasped when she saw Alex coming in and looking utterly distressed. He walked over to her wordlessly and put a cloth over her mouth and nose, she was unconscious in seconds. He tied a blind fold over her eyes, slung her over his shoulders effortlessly and put her in his truck. He was speeding away, he was extremely grateful for the tip, he had just come so close to losing everything and he couldn't let that happen.
