It was a good hour before a female doctor appeared. Callen hadn't sat down once since he'd arrived, had stood around waiting, pacing the corridor back and forth from one wall to another. "Are you the man who came in with her?"

He nodded, "How is she?"

"It was very hit and miss for a while but we managed to stabilise her. She's been placed in ICU and will be unconscious I'm afraid."

"For how long?"

"We don't know."

He nodded his head in understanding. "Can I see her?"

The doctor nodded with a soft smile and turned down the corridor. They walked past a few doors until they came to the ICU ward. The doctor pushed the door open and guided him to a curtained bed. "We're hoping we're able to move her soon, she suffered some pretty serious internal injuries I'm afraid."

Callen only nodded and waited until the doctor left him alone before venturing beyond the curtain. Emily lay, a breathing tube down her throat and an IV attached to her left arm. There were many monitors surrounding her showing various things.

He sighed as he collapsed into the only chair in the small space. He ran a hand over his face as he looked her over. There were bandages wrapped around her right shoulder and arm and one across her forehead.

Nothing but the sound of machines beeping and nurse milling around could be heard and he sat silently. He felt helpless. In the space of a day, he'd gone from enjoying her company to fearing for her life.

A glance at his watch told him it was nearing midnight now and he sighed. He needed to do something, couldn't sit around and wait for her to wake up. When the curtain drew back he sat himself up straighter in his seat and stared at the intruder. When he saw her face he relaxed and offered Hetty a tight lipped smile. "Hetty," he said.

"How is she?"

He shook his head. "Stable. At least."

She stopped next to his chair and stood quietly with him, just looking over Emily's body. "I had Nell look into her."

He turned to stare at her, half offended half curious. The curious side won out and he nodded. "What did you find?"

Now Hetty looked at him, a look of slight concern across her features. "She's lived a pretty normal life. Nothing that sticks out as to why she would be the intended target of a bomber." He could hear the 'except' at the end of that sentence and waited expectantly. "Her brother seems to play an important factor Mr Callen."

He nodded. "She said he's innocent."

"Well wouldn't you if you had a brother and they were accused of attempted murder?" After a moment he nodded, again. It was beginning to be a recurring motion. "The members of your team are concerned for you, should I tell them where you are?"

It was a moment before he shook his head. He didn't need the extra attention of concerned friends. What he needed was for them to do their job and find out where Daniel was and if he was even still alive. They also needed to know what Emily had that was important. He sighed. "Hetty, what am I supposed to do?"

"That decision, Mr Callen, is something you need to come up with on your own."

"We don't have many leads, no clues to who is doing this."

"Then might I suggest talking to her every member of her family." She pulled a file from her bag and handed it to him. "In my opinion, I would suggest you begin with the last one." She uttered nothing more and turned, leaving him in the company of nothing but the faint beeping sounds. He quirked a brow and waited until she'd gone before flicking through the file. Pictures of her people from the same picture that Emily had perched on her bookcase. Except for the last one. He looked at the picture more closely, the man seemed vaguely familiar.

After several scrutinizing minutes, his eyes widened as he realized he'd seen the man exiting Emily's apartment. They'd been arguing about something and she had insisted it was nothing. He paid careful attention to this file and looked at his relationship to Emily. The criminal record went on for an entire page; extortion, suspected murder, terrorising people, blackmail, kidnapping, assault and the list went on.

When he looked at the relationship part, his eyes widened even further. The man, named James Lowden, was Emily's biological father. Apparently, he'd been forced to give Emily up under the pretence that he and her mother were unsuitable parents. As he looked over the file he realised that the file had been hidden and Hetty must've pulled some strings in order to get the original document.

Unfortunately, the man had no current address.

Grabbing his phone he called Sam and said, "Sam, get Eric and Nell to run the name James Lowden. Look for known places, known associates and any records in his name."

"Who is he?"

"Emily's father."
