Sorry sorry sorry I haven't updated this in like two weeks. I'm so sorry. Also I have no idea what your reaction is going to be to this chapter. But I'll try, no promises though, to update this soon.


Two Months has past since the last chapter.

Barney

His Work

"So yeah Ted, I was thinking Robin and I would be there around 7:30." Ted wanted all five of us to meet at the bar for drinks. He said that we hadn't really all hung out together in a while, and it was important that we do that.

"That sounds fine Barney." After hanging up the phone with Ted I call Robin to tell her our plans.

"Hey baby."

"Hi Barney."

"So Ted really wants us to go hang out as a gang again. So 7:30 at the bar. We might be able to get some pizza or something before hand if you want to."

"Umm." Her voice seemed far away and distant.

"We don't have to get pizza if you don't want to."

"No Barney, we can get pizza if you want."

"Do you want to?"

"I don't know."

"You seem distracted. Is there something wrong?"

"No. I just, I'm kind of busy right now. I'll see you later okay."


"Robin?!" I yell walking into my apartment, which now is our apartment. I'm answered with the ringing emptiness. I take out my phone and check the time. 6:00. Usually she is back by now. But I guess she might have had to work late, she did seem busy. I call her work. "Hello Robin?"

"No its Patrice."

"Oh hi Patrice. Do you know where Robin is?"

"No, she isn't home?"

"No she's not."

"Oh thats weird, she left three hours ago."

"She did? She say where she was going?"

"No. She didn't but if you want I can go looking for her. I mean theres probably a million places to check, but because Robin is my best friend I'm sure she's probably just.."

"Its fine Patrice. I'll just call her cell. Thanks." I hang up before she could say anything else.

Quickly I dial Robin's cell. It goes directly to voicemail I leave a message. "Robin where are you? Please give me a call. I hope everything is okay. I love you."


Lily

Her apartment, time is 6:30

"Marshall my dad said he would be here in an hour." I call from the living room. Marshall had just got home from work and was playing with Marvin. Finally getting a break from the baby I grab the newest edition of US magazine and begin to read about celebrity's high class lives. I'm interrupted by a knock on the door. "I'll get it." I call in the direction of the bedroom. I open the door.

"Is she here?" Barney bursts into the apartment a terrified look forming in his eyes.

"Is who here?"

"Robin. She left work three hours ago and isn't at home. I called her cell but it went directly to voicemail."

"Barney calm down. Did you check in the bar?"

"Yeah I did. I called Ted too and she wasn't there either. Where the hell could she have gone."

"Maybe she went shopping or something." I say, even though I know thats a lie. Robin wouldn't have done that.

"I even called the shooting range and nothing. I'm afraid something might have happened to her." I give Barney a comforting hug.

"We will find her."


Ted

The Bar, 8:00

"I don't know Lily. I checked all the Robin places I could think of, and she wasn't in any of them." I was sitting in the bar after hours of looking for Robin. We had all split up and tried as many places as we could think of but she wasn't there. Even Barney with his many ways of tracking people down couldn't find her. We were all getting really worried, ready to check all of Canada worried.


Marshall

The Hospital, 8:30

I can't imagine what would be going through my mind if Lily disappeared. I would be worried that something horrible had happened to her, but I would also make myself pretend that nothing bad had happened. That she was just at work or at the bar or something. That we were all really stupid because we hadn't thought to look at her favorite store, where she just buying shoes. Everyone else is putting up those walls. They all care to much about Robin to think that something truly awful could have happened to her. I'm not saying that I don't care about Robin. Because I do. But I care enough about her to do go to the place no one else has thought to look.

I don't want to go to missing persons. I don't want to have to identify her body. Instead I go to a receptionist. "Excuse me, but I'm looking for my friend. Have you seen her." I hand the lady my phone, where I have pulled up a picture of Robin.

"I haven't sorry. But I just got here five minutes ago. If you really want to know you should go ask Christine. She will probably be passing through here in a couple of minutes."

"Okay thanks. I'll just wait here then." I go to sit down in the waiting room. I check my phone for messages.

There was one from Lily: Marshall have you learned anything yet? We have checked everywhere.

not yet baby. I text back, I didn't want to give her any false hope. Anyway at this point I wasn't even sure if I had anything.

"Christine. Wait." The receptionist I had talked to early called out as a tall blonde women walked by. "This man here wants to talk to you."

"Umm. Yes." Christine turns to look at me.

"Hi I was just wondering if you have seen my friend today." I take my phone out and hand it to her.

"Actually I might have. I remember I was so jealous of her hair. She had a bird name or something right?" She ask

"Robin. Yes thats her." Holy crap. "Is she okay?"

"Oh yeah she was fine. She just came in to make an appointment."

"Oh. Around what time?"

"Umm it was probably four thirty I think." She answers.

"Thanks so much." I instantly dial Barney's number.

"Barney listen. It turns out she made an appointment at the hospital at five."

"Wait, how did you find... Never mind. Is that all you know?"

"Yeah, but its isn't anything too serious." I say.

"Marshall yes it is. Robin is missing and I have no idea what I'm going to do."


So don't worry I have a plan for this. Hopefully you like it. Again sorry its been so long. I actually have forgotten how to write this story so it probs doesn't even seem in character. Again sorry about that.
