Once they had left, Jack glanced over at Vivian who was still on the phone. Sighing, he started to run a credit check, seeing if she had bought any tickets anywhere or anything. From what they had found out so far, he would assume she had run away, that she couldn't deal with an alcoholic, abusive husband any more, but they still had to find her.

A few moments later Vivian came over to him.

"What you got?" Jack asked her, glancing at her curiously.

"Her sister, Beth said that she hasn't seen Samantha in years, but they talk occasionally on the phone. The last time was about 2 months ago, but she hasn't heard from her recently. Another thing, she never liked David."

"Did you find out anything about the mother?" asked Jack.

Vivian shook her head. "She said that after Samantha left, they didn't really stay in contact. Apparently they never got on that well, but she didn't say why."

"Anything that would help us find Samantha?"

Vivian sighed frustrated, "Not really no. I'm going to call her mom, I know it's a long shot but it's worth a try."

"Okay." said Jack smiling tightly getting back to running a credit check.

A few minutes later Vivian walked back over a frown on her face. "I just talked to Joyce, her mom. She hasn't heard from her, she didn't seem to care much either."

Jack winced in sympathy, "Poor girl. You got a mom who doesn't care about you, and a husband like that? I'm starting to wonder why she stuck with him for so long."

Vivian nodded. "Must be tough, trying to live like that." she glanced at the picture, "She always struck me as quite sad when I saw her."

"What about the father?" asked Jack, the thought suddenly striking him.

"According to the sister, he left when Samantha was 6, and she was 9. You find anything?"

Jack shook his head, "She hasn't bought a ticket anywhere, and there's nothing to indicate that she took out a large amount of cash."

"Do you think we should look deeper into the husband?" asked Vivian.

"Maybe. Did you find out where he works?" asked Jack.

"Yeah he's..." Vivian flipped through her little notepad. "A security guard at that new mall, umm 65th and Eastern."

"Let's try and contact them, check out his story."

"Sure." said Vivian walking back over to her desk.

"Jack!" called Vivian moments later. "Interesting information, David Wood didn't have a night shift there last night, which means he lied."

"Wonder why he felt the need to lie?" Jack raised an eyebrow. "Let's bring him in."

About 25 minutes later Danny and Martin came back, where they met Vivian who was just about to go and see what was happening in the interrogation room where they were holding David.

"Viv, what's going on?" asked Martin.

"David was lying about working last night, so we brought him in- Jack's just talking to him. What did you find?"

"The doctor said that Samantha came in last friday, just after they spoke on the phone. And turns out that Samantha is pregnant."

"You think the husband knows?" asked Vivian.

Danny shrugged. "I think once she found out about the baby she decided she didn't want the kid to grow up with a violent dad so she took off."

"Do you think the kid was definitely his? Maybe he found out something and decided to do something about it." suggested Vivian.

Martin frowned, "Nothing anyone said hinted that she was cheating on him."

"I agree." added Danny. "It just doesn't seem to fit...I mean I know apparently he's been beating on her for years...but I dunno, it doesn't seem that way."

Vivian sighed, "Yeah I guess, she didn't really seem like she would. Can you check her old medical records, find out how serious it's been. We need everything we can."

"Alright." said Martin.

"I'll go tell Jack what you found out."

"I'll come." said Danny.

Vivian and Danny walked down towards the interrogation room, while Martin walked back into the bullpen.

Vivian picked up the phone to the room to call Jack out.

"You get anything from him?" asked Vivian.

Jack rolled his eyes, "He admitted to lying about not working last night, but he's not saying anything else. What did you find?" he looked at Danny.

"Samantha found out she was pregnant, that's why I'm guessing she was so distant on Friday."

"Do you think he knows?" Jack asked nodding through the window at David.

"We don't know." replied Danny.

"Well let's find out." said Jack, heading back in there.

"Why did you lie about working last night?" asked Jack again.

"I-I don't know."

"C'mon David, what have you got to hide?"

"Nothing!" he said defensively.

"Then why did you lie?"

David sighed. "I don't know."

"Your wife is missing Mr. Wood, we have to find her."

"I know that." replied David.

"Well?" Jack sighed. "I have a theory about why you lied. Want to hear it?"

David looked at him challengingly. "Go on then."

"Yes. Your wife told you something you didn't want to hear...that she's pregnant. Maybe you thought it wasn't yours then your temper got the better of you. What did you do, yell? Hit her? Then what? You realise you'd gone too far?"

David sat there, glaring defiantly at Jack. "Alright. She told me, I wasn't too pleased with the idea and we got into an argument and she just left."

Jack raised an eyebrow not fully believing him, there was a subtle glint in his eye that Jack didn't trust. "Do you know where she went?"

David shook his head. "No I don't."

"Okay." said Jack, glancing at him then leaving the room.

"So?" asked Vivian when he came out.

"He says that they had an argument last night and she left but he doesn't know where to."

"You don't believe him?" asked Danny.

Jack sighed. "Not really. He's definitely hiding something."

"You think he did something to her?" asked Vivian.

"I don't know." Jack shrugged. "But we have to find her, if he did do something..." Jack didn't finish his sentence, not wanting to think about what could have happened.

"Martin is looking through her medical records, if he is abusive then we'll find out how serious." replied Vivian.

Jack nodded. "Okay, you see what Martin's found."

"What about David?"

Jack sighed and glanced through the window he was sitting there, completely calmly. Not showing any emotion. "We're going to have to let him go..we don't have anything to hold him on. You two head back to the bullpen. I'll tell him."

"Right." said Vivian.
