Chapter 3:

FBI, missing persons unit

6 hours missing

Jack and Vivian entered in the bullpen with Logan Wilson, Samantha was still reading the documents. Vivian led Logan to an other office and Jack walked towards Samantha.

-Where are Danny and Martin? Jack asked.

-They're in an interrogative room, interrogating Mr.Burton.

Then Jack nodded and walked out the bullpen, and went to the interrogative room. Danny was standing behind Mr.Burton, and Martin was sitting in front of him. Mr.Burton looked pretty angry and was completely red like tomato.

-Come on Mr.Burton, we all know that your daughter was fed up of you, Martin started.

-That you were always behind them, wanting them to do what you want, Danny continued. And you discovered that she and Logan wanted to move in Seattle, and that make you very angry that they didn't tell you, right? What do you think of that Martin?

-Yeah, and when you discovered you go straight to see your daughter and you fight, and you killed her, maybe not purposely.

-No, I never knew that they wanted to move! Mr.Burton shouted.

-But you know that your daughter doesn't love you very much, so why did you tell us that she was very happy to see you?

-It's... it's because I hate the idea that my daughter is ashamed of me! Do you understand that?

-And what about Eric Davison? Danny asked.

-Eric Davison? He doesn't have anything to do with the disappearance of my daughter.

-And why do you think that?

-Because he is defending Nick Davison in Atlanta!

-Why do you know that?

-You never look the news?

Danny made an amused look.

-Mr.Burton, are you willing to pass a polygraph? Martin asked.

-Of course I will do everything to help you find my daughter.

Then Martin looked at Danny and Jack returned to join Vivian and Samantha.

30 minutes later

Danny and Martin entered in the bullpen, and walked towards the conference table.

-So? Samantha asked to them while putting down a document.

-He passed, Danny answered.

-So if it's not the father who is it? Martin asked.

-We must continue to read all the documents and maybe we will find something, Jack said.

Then Vivian's phone rang, she stood up and took it.

-Johnson... what?... when?... okay, thanks.

She hung up and turned to look at the rest of the team who looked at her.

-There's a ransom demand, Vivian said.

-To whom was it sending? Jack asked.

-To the fiancé.

-Not to the father? Martin asked.

-No, so it's not someone of the father's entourage, Vivian concluded.

-Okay, so either it's one of angry clients or it's someone in the fiancé's entourage, Jack said.

-But, an architect doesn't have many enemies, Samantha said.

-Maybe it's for an other reason, okay, Vivian and Samantha, continue to look in the documents, Martin and Danny, you're gonna talk to the brother.

They all nodded and stood up. Jack walked towards his office where Logan Wilson was waiting, he was sitting on the couch, the head in the hand. When Jack arrived in the office, Logan looked at him with a desperate look.

-Agent Malone, I... I don't know if I can get it together by tonight!

-Calm down, we have a long-standing ransom agreement with two New York banks. We can have the money.

Then Logan nodded and went back towards the couch and sat down. Looking less desperate than before but fears can be read on his face. Jack went to sit next to him and put a hand on his back.

-It's okay, we're going to bring her back, Jack said with a soft voice.

He waited for Logan to calm himself, he must have to ask questions that will be difficult for him, to make him remember about this horrible nightmare that he hope will finish as soon as possible. Jack took a deep breath and looked at Logan.

-Have you any enemies? Jack asked.

Logan looked at Jack with a confuse look, not understanding why he asked him that.

-No... Of course I've already got some fights but I don't have any enemies in particular.

-Any idea of whom could have send you the ransom demand?

-No, I don't see who could have done this! If I would have known who it was I will have told you! Logan yelled at Jack.

-Hey, hey, hey, calm down, its okay, Jack said while making gestures to calm down with his hands.

Logan took his head in his hands and sighed. This whole think was simply horrible, a nightmare that he wished he would wake up, Elisabeth next to him and that it will be a day like the others.

-Can I see the ransom demand? Jack asked.

-Yeah, she's on the table, Logan answered while showing a paper lying on the table in front of them.

Jack took it and read it.

-Is there any proof of life?

-No, they were only the letter in the envelop.

-Was there a stamp on it?

-No, why?

-It means that someone dropped it in the letter box.

Then Jack stood up and walked towards the interrogation room where Danny and Martin were interrogating the brother.

-So, Mr.Wilson, Danny started, do you know Elisabeth well?

-Not really, I don't go to their apartment often and I when I go there she is never there and I rarely speack with her.

-And why?

-Cos we don't like the same things, Bill Wilson answered with a smile.

Martin raised an eyebrow and looked at Danny.

-Do you know if she had any ennemies?

-She's a lawyer, he said, half-laughing.

-Except her clients, do you know any other persons? Martin said.

-I don't know, I've already told you that we pratically never speak.

Martin and Danny had got the feeling that Bill Wilson was thinking they were stupid.

-When was the last time you saw her? Danny asked.

-It was when she came to my office, Logan came to see me to speak about a family problem, it was 3 days ago...

Flash Back

Bill and Logan were speaking together in front of Logan's office. Then Elisabeth waked out the elevator and went towards them looking very angry. She took Logan's arm and led him further away, but Bill could hear them.

-I've already told you--, Elisabeth began.

-But I don't understand why I can't, Logan cut her.

-You must choose, me or he.

Then she walked away and entered in the elevator.

End of the Flash Back

-Do you know what they were talking about? Danny asked.

Bill shook his head. Then Danny looked at Martin who sighed.

Jack, Danny and Martin walked in the bullpen while speaking, they were walking towards Samantha and Vivian.

-So, what's up? Samantha asked to them.

-Apparently it seems that Bill and Elisabeth don't like each other very much, Martin answered.

-Do you think he could be a suspect?

-It's possible, Jack said while stiking Bill's photo on the board.

-And you? Did you find something? Danny asked while sitting down.

-Yeah, a Kurt Bartlett got out of prison a month ago, Vivian said while showing a photo of a man, who was about 42 years old, with brown hair and dark eyes.

-Okay, we're going to follow the two leads, Vivian you're gonna interrogated Elisabeth's best friend, Aline Sanders, Danny, Martin, you're gonna check Bill's apartment, Samantha you come with me, we'll speak with this Kurt Bartlett.
