Outside the FBI office building

Danny had to get out of the building. He couldn't breathe in there anymore. He started to see awful images of Annie with Escobar. He was hitting her. She was crying out in pain. Danny raked his hands through hair as he mind was assaulted with the images. Why didn't she call him? He could have helped her. She didn't call him because he pushed her away. Even though they left each other on good terms a month ago, she still thought he didn't love her. He didn't give her any reason to think otherwise.

"Hey," Martin said as he approached Danny.

Danny tried to shake the images from his head as he asked, "Did you let Allen go?"

"No. Jack wanted to question him one on one. I just thought I would see if you were OK."

"I'm great. Thanks for the concern," Danny replied sarcastically. Danny stood up and was about to go back to the office.

"Danny…I just wanted to apologize."

"For what?" Danny replied suspiciously.

"For standing up for Allen yesterday. When I questioned him, he attacked your character, and I shouldn't have listened. I should have seen that his hostility towards you was a clue to Annie's disappearance."

"Yeah, well, I had a lot of hostility towards him as well."

"And rightly so. I think this guy is just crazy jealous of you."

Danny nodded sadly, "It's not me, it's her. He's obsessed with Annie, and it cost Annie her life. He would have pulled her out if he hadn't seen us together. He kept her in there because he wanted to make her pay for getting involved with me again."

"We don't know she's gone, Danny. There is still hope. I think Jack has a theory. He'll get Allen to talk. So, are we OK?

Danny nodded again, "We're fine. You were just doing your job."

"Let's head back in, and see how Jack is doing."

Interrogation Room

Jack re-entered the interrogation room. Kevin was sitting down. Jack took a seat directly across from Kevin.

"Tell me exactly what happened when she came to you after Escobar beat her up," Jack order.

"She was upset, as you can imagine. He'd been violent with her before, but never like this. She said he just flipped out on her demanding to know where she'd been. She still didn't tell me about seeing Danny. But I knew that was what set Escobar off. He could tell she had been with someone else. If she would have been honest with me, maybe I could have done something."

Jack countered, "You see Kevin, that is what I don't understand. If one of my agents was assaulted like that, I wouldn't have hesitated to pull them out. How could you send her back in to that?"

"She wouldn't let me pull her out. She wanted to finish the job."

"I don't believe you. She was already having doubts. She wanted out. Then Escobar does God knows what to her, and she comes to you. I think she told you she wanted out. I think she told you she couldn't take it anymore. And then you panicked," Jack said angrily.

"Panicked? I don't know what you are talking about."

"You didn't want to let her go. You knew she would try to get as far away from you as possible. You made her skin crawl, Kevin. She hated you, and you couldn't stand that because you wanted to control her. That's why it drove you crazy to see her with Danny. She would never choose you over him."

Kevin was getting visibly angry. He put his head in his hands. "No. No. No. She loved me. She wanted to be with me. I just needed to make her see that he wasn't right for her. I needed her to realize how much she needed me. She belongs to me."

"How did you make her realize that, Kevin. Tell me what you did? We are going to find out eventually. I won't let you sleep until you tell me, you sick son of a bitch."

Kevin was practically crying, "I convinced her to stick it out with Escobar. I told her we could wrap up the case against him if we caught him making the deal with the Reyes syndicate. She agreed to give it two more weeks, so she went back to him."

Kevin continued, "When I met her in my car that last time, I could tell she couldn't stand to be near me. She was looking forward to the deal being done. I knew she would go crawling back to Danny once she was finished, and I would never see her again."

"What did you do?" asked Jack.

"I slipped her DEA ID in her purse. She told me once that she caught Escobar looking through her things when she returned from one of our meetings. I knew he would find it."

Jack looked down, "So he found it, and killed her. If you couldn't control her…if you couldn't have her, then no one could. Do you know what he did with the body."

Kevin hesitated, and finally said, "He tried to kill her. When he confronted her with the badge, he hit her and tried to strangle her. She was able to fight him off, and got out of the house. And then, she called me to tell me her cover was blown. She didn't realize it was me who did it. She thought she slipped up."

"I told her to meet me at a motel outside of the city. We had to take her into protective custody."

Danny, Martin and Samantha were standing outside the interrogation room.

"Do we have Allen's credit card records?" asked Danny.

Samantha replied, "Yeah, I pulled them yesterday. I'll go look at them to see if he charged the motel."

Danny nodded without taking his eyes off Kevin, "Thanks."

Kevin continued inside the interrogation room, "When she got there, she was very upset. Very shaky. I went out of the room to get her something to drink, when I got back she was on the phone. I knew who she was calling. So, I grabbed the phone out of her hand."

"She was calling Danny," stated Jack.

"I couldn't let her do that. She was startled, and I wanted to calm her down. So I just tried to hold her, you know. And she pushed me away. I tried to tell her that I would take care of her. That I was all she needed."

Jack could tell that Kevin was losing it. So he kept pressing, "Did you kill her?"

Kevin started sobbing.

As Danny watched, his heart sank.

Kevin looked up at Jack. "I tried," Kevin whispered. "At first, I tried to make her mine, to make her love me, but she kept fighting me. So I took my gun out, and put it to her head."

Martin watched Danny closely. Ready to stop him if he tried to storm in to the room again. This time Martin was certain Danny would kill him.

Kevin continued, "She started crying and begging me not to kill her."

"What did you do, Kevin?" Jack asked calmly.

As Kevin sobbed and searched for his next words, Vivian and Samantha came back with new information. Vivian addressed Danny and Martin. "I think we found her. Kevin checked into the Shady Tree motel about 30 minutes from here. The motel clerk says that a woman met him at the motel. He saw Kevin leave but never saw the woman leave. Kevin still hasn't checked out of the motel. He called the clerk yesterday, and asked to charge his credit card for one more week. The charges didn't appear on his account until after we ran the report yesterday."

Danny and Martin didn't hesitate. They rushed out with Samantha to check out the motel. Vivian stayed behind to fill in Jack.
