Hey y'all! Sorry for the delay. I'm graduating high school in a few weeks, so life is a bit busy! I know this update is short, but I thought it was better than nothing! Oh, and I love reading reviews, so let me know what you think. Polite suggestions are welcome.

"How did he even find her? We have to get her. This is not just any other case now," Andy said to Provenza. Sharon was still at home. Andy made her stay because of her stress levels.

"Flynn, we are going to find her. This bastard is just trying to get some leverage. We have his brother, now he has you daughter."

"If this is your idea of a pep talk," He was cut short by Provenza.

"No, it's not. It's my idea of trying to get you to think like a detective instead of a father."

"Well, right now, I have to think like both," Andy looked down at his watch again.

"Stop doing that to yourself," Lou told his friend.

"She's been missing for 20 hours." At that time, Sykes walked in carrying a stack of papers in her hand.

"We got him!" she announced.

"What do you mean 'got him'?" asked Provenza.

"Well, we almost have him. He used one of her credit cards. He's dumb; it was at a gas station two blocks from his mother's house."

"He is dumb," snorted Andy. "So when are we heading out? Like Sykes said, we got him."

"We need more information than that, Flynn," replied Provenza. "Come on, more of a detective right now. We need an exact location and conformation that Nicole is there."

"Or we could just go and arrest him no matter if he has Nicole or not because HE'S A MURDERER!" Andy was about to yell more, but the thought of Sharon brought his temper down a bit.

"I know you are stressed, it's been a long day. Why don't you take a break and we will figure all of this out," Provenza was trying to help.

"You know what Lou, I will take a break when my daughter is back with her boys. How about that?"

Over the next hour, the team worked on getting more information about the whereabouts of Nicole. In that time, Sharon had called a total of 4 times. At the last one, Andy finally told her to go to sleep and he would call her when they had news. She didn't like it, but she said fine because of the predicament. They sent Cooper so scout the area and see if he could give conformation on Nicole. He called Sykes after 30 minutes and said he could see the guy and his van. He thought Nicole was in the mother's garage separate from the house. After Provenza was convinced that she was there, they made arrangements for backup and went to the house. Andy was a nervous wreck the whole car ride there. Even with the sirens, it took them 20 minutes to get there. Sanchez was the first one to get to the garage. He was followed by Tao and Provenza, then Sykes and Flynn. The door was busted down and the place was searched. It seemed that the suspect was too worried about being caught, than his prisoner. He left Nicole in the corner of the building with her hands tied to a pole with rope and he mouth covered with tape. The second Andy saw her, he ran to her aid. He took off the tape and rope and hugged his daughter so tight; he couldn't imagine his life without her.

At the hospital, Nicole was being a bit difficult. "I'm fine, Dad. Please, just let me go home. Like you said, my boys miss me."

"Just let the doctor check you out. I know you said you weren't hurt, but I just want to make sure," Andy was doing his best to keep his daughter calm and in the bed. "Stay here and let the doctor look at you and I'm going to call Sharon."

"Fine, tell her I'm fine though!"

He went outside the room and down the hallway to the staircase to have some privacy.

"Hello?" Sharon's voice was raspy. It was almost 11:30, she was probably asleep, Andy thought.

"Hey Sweetie. Sorry, did I wake you?"

"It's fine. How's Nicole? You wouldn't be calling if you didn't have news."

"We are at the hospital. Just for precaution though. She said to tell you she's fine. She is, but I wanted her to be looked at anyway."

"That's good thinking. Did you catch the guy?"

"He had ran before we got there. Let Nicole in the garage for us to find her. We'll get him though. We can add kidnapping to his file now."

"How are you, Andy?" she felt she needed to ask. Probably no one has asked him.

"I'm better now. Now that Nicole is safe and I can talk to you without feeling scatter-brained. Going from wife to daughter is exhausting."

"Well, I'm sorry to worry you," she said kind of stern.

"No, that's not what I meant. I mean, we have had enough to stress about these past few months, and I'm glad Nicole is safe now."

"Okay, I understand. I know you're tired so go check on Nicole. Tell her I love her. Oh, and Andy, I love you too."

"I love you more. Goodnight." Click.
