A/N: Thanks for all the reviews! I'm trying to keep this as in character for both shows as possible. I'm trying to make WaT fans out of Strong Medicine fans and vise-versa!

Philadelphia, PA
17 hours missing
Danny and Martin hurried down the corridors of Rittenhouse Women's Health Center.
"Hey! Where do you think you are going?" Danny turned around and flashed his badge to Lana, the receptionist.
"FBI. We need to talk to Dr. Delgado," Martin said, coming up behind Danny.
"She's in her office, but you can't go in. She's with a patient."
Martin and Danny exchanged looks, "She's seeing patients 15 hours after her son disappears?" Martin asked skeptically.
"17 hours," Danny said, "Well, Miss...?"
"Hawkins. Lana Hawkins," She stood up and placed a hand on her hip while wagging her pink fluffy pen at the agents. "You can wait over there!" She gestured to the waiting room with the pen.
"I'd rather talk to you," Danny said with a smile. Lana sat down.
"Well, since you know my name, what's yours?"
"I'm Agent Taylor. This is Agent Fitzgerald."
"Hi," Martin said quietly, "So, you know the boy?"
"Yes, he comes around quite a bit. He's such a sweetheart. I can't imagine who would want to hurt him!"
"How is he in school? Friends? Sports? Girls? Is he very popular?" Martin started firing questions at the receptionist.
"Good student, Lu makes sure of that-"
"Lu?" Danny asked.
"Luisa Delgado. Who are you?" Danny turned around and saw the petite doctor.
"Agent Danny Taylor. FBI. This is Agent Fitzgerald. We're here about Marc."
"Oh, God. Sorry... Come on," Lu gestured for them to come into her office. They followed her in and she shut the door.
"Dr. Delgado- what can you tell me about last night?"
"Well, I called my son from work. About 9. I wanted to make sure that he got his homework done and didn't spend all night in front of the TV. You know how kids are."
"Did he seem alright?"
"He seemed like he was in a hurry to get me off the phone. He just didn't want me to miss too much of the game."
"Martin, we'll need phone records. Incoming and outgoing," Danny said, turning to his colleague.
"I'm on it," Martin stood up.
"What? You don't believe me?" Lu asked, eyes wide.
"Look, you may not have been the only person to call your son. Plus, if he was in trouble, he might have tried to call someone," Danny pointed out.
"You're right."
"How did the house look? When you got home? Any signs of forced entry?"
"No. He had just written a note, saying he'd be home later, and he never showed up. He's always been a good kid."
"What's his curfew?"
Lu sighed, "We have a deal. He let's me know where he's going and who he's going to be with. As long as he is home at a decent hour... I figured that since he was going to be going to college soon, it might be a good lesson. I'm not going to be there to watch over him next year."
"Okay. Now here's the hard part. Do you know of anyone who might want to harm him? Either school, work... Anything?"
"No! He's well liked at school, and he doesn't work."
"What about through your work?"
"I- I don't know," Lu closed her eyes for a minute, "Wait... Last month. I had a patient who passed away on the operating table."
"I'll need that file," Danny said. Lu looked pensive. "Doctor/patient privilege doesn't extend post-mortem," he reminded her.
"Yeah. I'll get it for you." Lu stood up.
"Miss Hawkins said that your son comes around often. I'll want to talk to others who know him, who know your patients."
"Okay. I'll page Peter for you." Lu sighed, "Do you think you'll find him? Alive?"
Danny paused at the door. "We'll find him."

"Hear from the guys?" Jack turned around and saw Samantha standing in the doorway.
"Not yet." Jack turned back around to stare at the timeline on the dry erase board.
"I pulled reports for all violent crimes in the area. 10 mile radius."
"Anything of interest?"
"I don't know yet." Samantha sat down at a table and started separating piles of papers. "I'm not even halfway through."
"You eat yet?" he asked.
"No, I'm okay," Samantha tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Hey, look at this."
"What?" Jack walked around and stood behind Samantha, leaning over her shoulder.
"Dr. Delgado filed a police report, a couple years ago. She was raped. If he's not in jail, he could be a suspect."
Jack looked hesitant, "I don't know... Call Danny, but don't hold your breath." Jack took a step back and watched as Samantha pulled out her cell phone. "Let me talk to him after you do." He whispered.
"Hey... See what you can find out about Rand Kilner. K-I-L-N-E-R... Yeah. Okay... Hang on a second," She handed the phone to Jack. Samantha smiled as she watched the Senior Agent talk to Danny.
"Okay. Well, keep me posted," Jack said as he hung up. He walked over to the white board.
"Did they find something?" Samantha watched as Jack grabbed a marker and added:
9:30 PM. CALLS 'GIRLFRIEND'
"Well, this just got more interesting," Samantha noted.
"Maybe he calls to say good night. Could mean nothing."
"Could mean everything," Samantha said.
TBC!
