Belle walked into the fire chief's office.

"Chief."

"Belle. What can i do for you?"
"I'm sure you've heard about my brother in law."

"It's been brought up. And i'm sorry to hear it."
"Thanks, When they have a lead, I'd like to take a shift off to go and help them look for him."
"No need."
"Sorry?"
"Your Lieutenant Flynn already ran it by me, and we've informed Sodor Search and Rescue. When they get a lead, both Engine 61 and Truck 20 will be assisting police in the search." He explained, with a reassuring smile.

"I… Thanks Chief."
"All good Belle, Let's hope we find your boy alive."

Henry sat in Jacelyn's room holding her, and looking into her eyes. He began to tear up. Thomas walked around the corner.

"You alright?" He asked quietly.

"I'm just praying to god she never gets what I have. And that her uncle will get to see her again."

He began to shake as he put her in the crib. Thomas walked up and put a hand on his shoulder.

"It's going to be alright Henry."

"But what if it isn't Thomas."
Thomas only looked down, he had nothing else to say.

Gordon walked up to Captain's squad Car sitting atop large roaming meadows.

"What did you find?"

"Video of our suspect loading Percy into a dark green van. The fire department has sent two trucks to assist."

"Able to put a pin on who it is?"
"No, Face blocked by a hood. Although we tracked the van to this road, heading deep into the fields of Maron and Ffarquar. No van of the same shape, colour or number plate has left the area. So I assume he's still around."
"What if he's not?"
"Then he'd have to walk at least 10 miles, without being reported for suspicious activity, And he hasn't stolen a car either, no stolen cars have been reported here for a year. And if he's done that, this is no longer a missing persons case. If you understand what I'm-"

"I understand."

Just then, two fire trucks roll up, followed by two police cars.

Immediately Belle and Flynn dismount from their engines.

"Captain."
"Lieutenant Flynn. Good to see you, did you get my message."
"That we did. We'll look for it." He said.

"Have i ever said your accent is too much?" Captain laughed.

"Only a little. Let's move it crew!"

"Gordon, Harrold's coming with his helicopter. I was thinking you could ride with us, since you've been in the air force."

"Sure thing. Are you prepped for a hostage situation?"

"Harrold's bringing your old Air Force Gear, However we have a hostage negotiator in one of the cars."
A white helicopter sored down from the skies, landing in the field next to them. Harrold opened the door and waved them in.

"Hurry along Chaps!"

The three of them boarded the craft and took off to the skies.

James sat at the bar stocking shelves when someone knocked on the door.

"Sorry, we're closed for another half an hour!" He replied.

"It's us James." Said a familiar voice. He walked over and opened the door to reveal Toby and Mavis.
"You don't mind if we come in for a chat do you?" Toby asked.

"No of course not."

He let them both in and sat together at the bar. James handed them all a beer and tossed a bottle opener.

"G'day." Shane said, as he moved a box of drinks under the bar.

"Afternoon.' Toby replied.
"How are you guys?" James asked, taking a sip.

"As alright as we can be right now. Anything on percy?"
"Got a text that they're off following a lead. I'll hear back soon."

"What about Henry?" Mavis asked.

"Some days he's fine, but every episode seems to get worse and worse. We're worried he might hurt himself or someone else mid episode."

"Gosh, has he thought about the lobotomy?"
"Doctor said they can't operate at the moment due to the whole thing with percy. They're worried they'll wrongly identify the part of his brain that needs re-adjusting."
"Right. What did they say was wrong with him exactly?"
"You're asking the wrong person-"
"About what?"
They turned to see Edward walk in, Bag in hand.
"Eddie."
"James. Toby, Mavis."
"Hey Edward. We just asked James what's wrong with Henry?"
"Henry has Post traumatic stress, which causes episodes of paranoid schizophrenia."

"Right." Toby said contemplating.

"The doctor has located an area of his brain that is producing too much of the norepinephrine neurotransmitter. Causing spikes of fear. However he can't operate if he's stressed about percy, because he should be stressed."

"Ah, I see. When can they operate?"
"After they find Percy."
"What if they don't find him alive?" Mavis asked quietly.

"Then the fear would be replaced with grief, and they can still operate."
The bar got rather quiet. Until Shane piped up.
"He'll be alright mate. Just you wait and see."
"I hope you're right." Toby replied.

Flynn and Belle sat side by side in the truck as they cruised along the windy roads.

"Thanks for letting me do this Flynn." She said.

"It's alright. I only have one request. You'll need to stay out of sight in case the kidnapper is watching, so put your helmet on, and pretend to be busy. I'll do any talking if necessary."
"Understood Lieutenant."

They continued to roll before one of the men in the back called out. "Green van, Up ahead."

"Perfect, there's a fire hydrant 600 meters up ahead, Aright that's the game. Pretend we're looking for a hydrant. I'll check the plates, and if anyone comes, I'll blame old maps.

"Yes sir." They all say in unison.
The engine pulled in across the road from an old house, it had forestry on one side, and an empty paddock on the other side.

The crew jumped out, and looked through the weeds. Flynn took a look at the van.

"Number plates match." He muttered to himself.

The door then opened, Flynn walked over so he could see who answered. "Hey Champ."
"Hi. What are you doing here?" said a familiar voice. Belle's heart raced. It was Percy. He was looking really feeble, and it looked as though someone was standing behind the door, as it opened inwards.

"We're looking for fire hydrants, I think our map is outdated. Seen any around."
"Closest one is just down the road that way." he said.

"Alright, Thanks Pal. Let's pack up team!"

The firefighters all jumped back on the firetruck before looking at him.

"Thank god He's alive." Belle sighed.

"The perpetrator is definitely inside, The look he had matches. Let's move up the street."
"What?" They all said.

"If we stay we risk looking suspicious. Let's go up to the next hydrant and wait there. Belle."
Belle put the truck into gear and they drove off. Flynn grabbed his Walkie Talkie and radioed Captain.

Captain, Gordon and Harrold sat looking out of the helicopter windows looking for the van.

"You know I think we can tie two more abductions to this guy." Captain muttered.
"What makes you say that?"
"Two people from percy's facebook support group went missing a few days ago, one a day, and one two days before you called me about Percy."

"Why did you only bring that up now?" Gordon asked.

"Bulge just found the connection, the facebook group. We just thought they were unconnected."
"Right.

Suddenly the radio buzzes in.

"This is Lieutenant Flynn to Captain Raft."
"Received."
"Victim Located, Alive. We believe Perpetrator is still in the house."

"Right. Where are you?"
"70% up our route, House is at 13 mcginnun drive. Flashing light now. House is about 600 meters behind us down the road."
"Roger that. All units converge on our position."
They looked out the window seeing nothing but open fields and sprawling forests.
"There!" Harrold pointed. Long behold there was a fire truck with flashing lights sitting on the side of the road.

"Located your position Lieutenant, and home is in sight. Touching down across the street. Double back and block the road."
"Roger that. Engine 61 to Main, requesting Ambulance to 13 Miginnun, Maron."

"Request received Engine 61. Ambulance dispatched, Eta 10 minutes."

"Alright, touching down." Harrold announced.

The two cop cars quickly swarm on leaving tire trails, Light flashing. Followed by two fire trucks. And eventually the white helicopter landing on the field across from the house.

Gordon and Harrold walk up to the rest of the crew in their bullet proof vests.

"I know you two are Air force, but this is a police matter. I call the shots understand?" Captain clarified.

"Yes sir." They both said reloading their firearms.

"I wish I could carry one of those." He muttered reloading his taser.

Belle and Flynn walked up to them, halligans in hand.

"We're willing to assist."
"Great, we gotta get that door open. I'll lead, you two follow, firefighters at the back. Sound good?"
"Yep."
The Five responders walk up to the door, and stand on either side.

"POLICE! OPEN THE DOOR!" Captain boomed. "Hit it."

Flynn jammed his halligan into the door, and looked to belle.

"Strike!"
She slammed the edge of her halligan into Flynns.

"Strike!"

The metal again clanged from the impact.

"Strike!"

This time Flynn turned his, twisting the door open, He then kicked it in with his back foot, allowing the armed men to go ahead of him.

The men pushed into the house, rounding a corner into a living room.
"Don't make another step!" They turned to see none other than Gator standing in the living room with Percy shirtless on his knees and Gator with a pistol pointed directly at Percy's head.
"I'll kill us both! I swear."
