Less than an hour later, after making it back to their respective hotel rooms and grabbing their bags, Frankie and Will had hailed a cab and were at the airport waiting for the jet Ray had managed to get for them. Frankie had barely spoken on the ride there and Will for once didn't let it bother him. Both were too worried at the moment to even discuss anything, much less what had occurred between them an hour before.

"Hey!" Susan yelled at them as she and Ray made their way into the waiting area. She gave Will a quick hug and then squeezed Frankie's shoulder. "Sorry it took so long, we had to get them to release him" She nodded at Ray "before they'd let us leave."

"Yeah...and they wouldn't let me leave in my robe, so that took a while." Ray said innocently, not thinking too much about it.

Frankie gave him a look and rolled her eyes, Susan just smiled and shook her head.

"Yeah Ray, that's uh...good for all of us." Will said.

"Right. Yeah. Anyways, I got a team on the ground in New York and they're going to do a thorough search while we're in the air." Ray told them. He'd switched to serious mode as quickly as he had when Ollerman injected him with that nano tech.

Frankie sighed loudly.

"What?" Susan asked.

"You think if he took Standish he'd take him somewhere they could find him? He's not going to make it that easy."

"Hey, we don't know anything yet okay, let's try and stay..." Will started.

"If you say positive right now, I'll hit you."

Will raised his hands in defeat. A moment later, Frankie mumbled an apology under her breath as the plane arrived and they made their way outside. Will gave her a small smile as he walked past.

"Jai is tracking Standish's phone now. It's turned off, or more than likely destroyed, but he is going to try and narrow down the location of the last place he was when he called you." Frankie told them as they headed up the steps into the plane.

"Good. We'll find him, Frankie." Susan reassured her.

"Yeah. And this time I'm putting a bullet between Ollerman's eyes before he can jump out a window."

Will may have worried about her darkness before, but she wasn't trying to be irrational now. Alex had to die. He'd made it personal for Will a while ago, and even Ray, but now he'd made a personal strike against the entire team, their family, twice now.

"Yeah well that's if you beat me to it." Will told her. Frankie glanced back at him and smiled a little.

"There's gonna be a line, I want a shot too." Ray piped in. Susan patted his arm.

They all took their seats, Ray and Susan slid into the two near the front and Will and Frankie took ones a couple of rows back knowing Ray looked exhausted and was probably ready to get a little rest on the way back.

Still silent, they buckled in and got comfortable. As quiet as Frankie had been with him, he was a bit surprised she'd slid into the seat next to his own.

Once in the air, Frankie noticed Will wasn't even pestering her to talk. She took note of him being patient with her, but his jaw was clenched just as her back was tense. They were both scared for that dumb kid they cared about. She sighed heavily and decided maybe he needed some reassurance as much as she did. Her brain told her to leave it alone but those pesky human emotions she'd been feeling a lot more of since Will came into her life told her to do it. Will's hand was hanging below the seat next to her lap, and Frankie decided to brave it and gently touched his with the outside of her own. She moved her fingers over his until he moved his fingers to grasp her own. She gave him a reassuring squeeze and even let him hold it for a minute before she let go and leaned back in her seat.

Will can't say he seen it coming, but he told himself not to make a big deal of it. His only acknowledgment was to squeeze hers back and give her a smile before looking back ahead. Both of them quietly dozed off.

Will woke to Susan's voice, who was talking to Ray while he was on the phone. Frankie was dozing quietly still, her head dangerously close to being on his shoulder. But she stirred awake when he moved.

"What's going on?" Frankie said, voice a level below her normal.

"It was the team on the ground. Jai gave them the last known location he'd found. They searched the area for a while...and they found him." Ray told them, sounding happier than he probably should given the condition he was in.

What?!" Both Frankie and Will shouted at the same time.

"Yeah..So Ollerman stabbed him and left him behind a parked car on the street, a few blocks from his home. Guess he wasn't worried about us finding him." Ray told them.

"And?! Is he.." Frankie trailed off.

"Alive..for now. They rushed him to the ER. Jai's already heading there now. Last they knew he went into surgery." Susan had that way of staying calm and speaking clearly when things went bad. Will couldn't imagine not having her there to keep their tension in check.

Frankie wasn't sure whether to feel relief first or fear. Certainly both were rattling around in her mind. Will squeezed her arm and got up.

"He'll be okay you guys. Call it a gut feeling alright?"

The four of them grabbed a glass of the strongest thing available on the jet and some pastries before going over the plans to find Ollerman. But their first stop was going to be the hospital. They had just under two hours left of the flight. Two hours of waiting without a word of Standish's status and nothing to do.

Once Will had left them alone and Ray went back to napping, Susan finally was able to talk with Frankie find out just why she was so out of it.

"Okay, spill." Susan demanded quietly.

"Huh? Spill what?"

"You're acting different than usual and you've been too quiet. I know we're all worried but usually your worry comes with some anger and verbal sparring with Will. What happened?"

No, Frankie was not going to go there right now, especially with Will still on this plane.

"Nothing. I just...like you said, worried."

"Uh-huh."

"Okay and maybe I've got 7 different ideas running through my head on what I plan to do to Ollerman when we find him. Happy now?" Frankie grinned at her.

"No...because you're lying to me."

Frankie gave her a quizzical look. "Nope. Not lying."

"Sure you are. When you lie your wisdom teeth show."

"I don't have wisdom teeth."

Now Susan was the one to roll her eyes. "Oh you know what I mean! But that's okay."

"Is it."

"Yeah, you'll spill eventually. I can't tell if it's something with you and our boy over there, or guilt over something. But I'm here so take your time."

Both. Frankie thought to herself.

Frankie outwardly just rolled her eyes and told Susan okay.

Susan caught Will looking at them both from his seat at the back of the jet. She just gave him a nod and left Frankie to go sit by Ray.

Frankie let out a sigh and took another drink. This flight couldn't be over fast enough.
