Entering the bedroom, she stared as she saw him sat on the end of the bed, his head buried in his hands causing her to bit her lip as she clutched onto the drink she'd made him. Walking over, she sighed as she placed the drink down on the table and knelt in front of him, her hand running up to his cheek as he looked up at her.
"Ryan and Esposito are about to go out looking in the area around where they located his phone, I'm going to go with them" she whispered before kneeling up and kissing him. "Just try and get some sleep" she whispered before clutching his hand and slipping a sleeping pill into it, her lips pressing against his once more.
"Kate, stay" he mumbled causing her to sigh as she shut her eyes for a moment and then slipped them open, trying to make herself sound confident again, sound like she was in control once more.
"I'm a cop Rick it's my job and it's my fault she was taken, I love Alexis like my own child and I won't stop until I find her" she whispered before kissing him, feeling his hand hold onto hers tightly. "I'll come back in an hour okay, I promise" she declared. "Just get some rest, you need it".
"What about you Kate?" he asked causing her to smile as she looked at him.
"I'll be fine Rick" she whispered as he continued to hold onto her hand.
"Kate, it's not just about you anymore" he declared causing her to stand up and sigh. "Don't go, just stay and let the guys do their job" he whispered as she shook her head.
"I have to do something Rick" she mumbled before kissing him once more. "I promise one hour and I'll be back in bed with you" she declared causing him to nod as she walked towards the door, turning around to look at him as he continued to sit there in silence. "I love you Rick and I will find her".
"I love you too and I know you will" he mumbled before she left him alone.
XOXOXOX
Walking around the house, she stared as she stood there alone. They'd decided to separate to get around more of the area and she knew inside she didn't want to be doing this, she loved Alexis, Alexis was part of the family that had just formed around her. Feeling a tear run down her cheek, she jumped as she heard her name being shouted causing her to turn and stare at what Esposito was holding in his hand.
"No" she mumbled as she stared at the flowery scarf she'd seen around the teenager that morning. But this time there was something on it, a deep red stain causing her to gag as she turned around and covered her mouth before walking off, the feeling getting to much for her as she bent over and allowed herself to release everything she was holding in, the smell making her feel even more sick. Breathing deeply, she turned and stared at him.
"Are you okay?" Espsotio asked causing her to nod as she stared at the item he was holding in his fist.
"Don't tell Rick, I want to do it myself" she whispered as she slowly slipped the scarf into her hand, tears running down her cheek. "It's going to kill him".
"Beckett, there's not enough there to indicate that she's" he whispered before going silent. "There's still the biggest chanceā¦" he whispered as she nodded and sighed, clutching onto the scarf like she was clinging onto hope. "But we have an idea of where she went now" he added causing her to nod as she looked down at her watch.
"I need to go, I promised Rick" she whispered as he nodded, staring at her. "Will you tell if you find anything else? I don't want Rick knowing unless I know" she mumbled before turning away, still holding the scarf. "He's going to lose it" she whispered.
"Beckett you can't hide it from him, he needs to know" he announced as she nodded.
"Doesn't make it any easier" she whispered before walking away trying to compose herself before she found Rick.
XOXOXO
Entering the bedroom, she stared as she saw him lying in bed staring up at the ceiling, his hands drumming on his chest. Pulling her jacket off, she slowly kicked her shoes off and sat on the bed next to him gaining his attention quickly as she slipped the scarf into his hand and closed his fingers around it, tears trickling down her cheek as she heard him sit up and stare at her, the sound of his sob causing her to turn around and stare at him, her arm wrapping around him.
"I'll find her, I promise" she whispered as he continued to stare at the blood stain scarf his mother had bought for his daughter for her birthday. "I'll find her Rick" she repeated, trying to get the confidence within herself but also give it to him. "The guys are still looking and she'll be close, if Demming wants to get to me he'll stay in the area" she announced before kissing his cheek as he sat there in silence causing her to sit behind him and massage his shoulders as he shut his eyes. "He won't hurt her Rick because that's not what he wants" she mumbled onto his neck before pressing a kiss against it. "I promise she'll be safe" she announced as he nodded slowly, her phone ringing causing him to grab it. "Rick give me the phone please" she begged.
"What if it's him?" he asked as he stared down at it. "What if it's Demming?"
"Then it's Demming just let me have the phone" she whispered causing him to pass it to her slowly. "Beckett" she mumbled into it.
