A/N I want to thank everyone for the reviews. I appreciate them more than you know. Please keep them coming! Also, any adult scenes between Nicole and Antonio, which may or may not come later in the story, will be minor, just some kissing and what not here and there. One more thing, Bare with me, I had the idea of Jess surprising them with kids, I know she's a little young and scientifically she wouldn't be able to have 8 year olds unless she'd have had them when she was like 15, but hopefully you guys will forget about that and just enjoy the story.

Who did you say you were, again?

It had been about a half hour since Nicole went off on her little adventure. In the meantime, Antonio figured he could cover best by continuing the work on the Billy Madison case. He was typing on the keyboard as fast as his manly fingers would go.

"It was Billy. He was swimming in the ocean. He said "I love the sand when it squishes between my toes" He seemed happy until the sand turned into a monster and came to swallow him up. Then he started screaming "They're coming for me! They're coming for me!" Antonio recalled Jess' vision. He typed the word 'Sand Monster' in to see what would come up.

"Well, there's a sand monster lane in Pennsylvania, but would they have gone that far, especially if they want the ransom money?" Antonio asked himself, puzzled.

"Would who have gone how far, agent?" Pollock asked, standing above Antonio like a dog about to start herding his sheep.

"I was trying to interpret one of Jess' dreams, sir" Antonio told him, honestly for once.

"And did you?" Pollock asked

"Did I what, sir?" Antonio asked, baffled by the question being thrown at him.

"Interpret Ms. Cleo's vision, agent"

"Not umm… not completely but we're close" Antonio said, trying to add Nicole in as one of the helpers.

"We're?" Pollock said. "I don't see anyone next to you, are you starting to see the dead, agent?"

"Nicole and I, sir"

"Really? That's funny, because you see, I don't see agent Scott here. In fact, I haven't seen her here in quite some time, agent. Where is agent Scott?" He demanded to know

"She umm… She…" He trailed.

"She went off to find Agent Mastriani?" He quizzed slyly, knowing from the start where Nicole had ventured off to.

"Uh… Yes, sir" Antonio finally revealed.

"And agent you were doing so well in the beginning with this lie" Pollock sighed.

"Anyways, we have bigger things to worry about" Pollock said. "Someone else has gone missing"

"Who, sir?" Antonio said, only he was thinking "not another one"

"Agent Mastriani" Pollock revealed. Antonio gave him a quizzical "What the hell are you talking about" kind of look and he figured he should elaborate. "Her car was found about 40 miles off, half way in a ditch. The cops traced the license plates back to her. She however, was not found with the car. Get to the scene, agent, and call me if you find anything" Pollock commanded. He had a sincere aurora of concern for Jess about him, something which was not often seen in Assistant Director, John Pollock, who, tried to give off the vibe of a rusty, hard nail.

"Right away sir" Antonio said, standing up. As he was walking out he dialed Nicole's cell.

Nicole cell phone rang with its boring, original Nextel tone and Nicole hurriedly flipped it open. "Scott" She greeted the caller on the other end.

"Nick, it's me, we have something seriously wrong with Jess. Her car was found half way in a ditch about 40 miles east of us"

"I'm on my way" Nicole said, dangerously whisking the car in a circle, heading east. She snapped the phone shut and bashed her foot on the accelerator.

It took about 40 minutes at least to get to the scene. Nicole and Antonio stepped out of their cars and began walking towards Jess' abandoned jeep liberty. It was hard to believe the jeep liberty was deserted, as it looked in tip top shape, brand new from the engine on down to the back widow.

"I'm gunna see what I can find around the outside of the car" Nicole said

"Yeah, I'm gunna search the inside" Antonio said, separating his direction from Nicole.

He reached the door of the jeep. Carefully, he snapped on some latex gloves, preventing the destruction of any residual fingerprints which did not belong to Jess or anyone that she had known. He hauled out his forensic kit, took out some white fingerprinting powder, tape, and a duster. Delicately, he ran the powder over all the door handles with the duster, reviewing each door handle for prints ten times over on each. He found none. The mastermind of this kidnapping surely knew what he was doing.

With each door handle in the clear, he ascended into the vehicle. He analyzed each aspect of the car in full detail-from the steering wheel, to the tiny specks of dirt and grime on the floor mats. He had a bit more luck with this part of the investigation, though. To his horror, he found tiny pinches of blood in groups on the right side of the driver's seat floor mat. He took out his swab, ran it through the necessary chemicals, and gathered up the evidence he would need. "Jess, I sure hope for your sake that this isn't your-" He was thrown back into reality by a harsh, hair raising scream. It was Nicole. He bolted out of the car, sprinting until he reached Nicole. "Nick, what is it?"

She motioned with her eyes for him to look down. So, he did. Unexpectedly, he saw a little boy, curled and shaking in a tiny ball. "What the-" he said. "Where did you come from" he asked the tiny boy.

"My mommy" He replied as if it should have been obvious.

"Who's your mommy?" Nicole asked. "What's her name?"

"Umm…" The young child had to think about this one. He was so accustomed to calling her mommy that at times he thought it was her real name. Finally, he decided. "Jess" He said. "My mommy's name is Jess" he nodded confidently in the name he decided upon. He was sure that was it. "Where's my sister?" He asked. "Last thing I remember is being hit over the head with some big mans baseball bat. I could hear Faith screaming and crying in the next room. I tried to get to her but the one bad guy was too strong for me. Me and Faith are twins, only I'm the older one. I should have been able to get to her." He looked hurt by failure at retrieving his sister.

Nicole was blank. She didn't know what to do-or think-for that matter. Were they talking about the same Jess here? How could Jess have kids-twins for that matter- and her not know about them these past couple of years?

"Helllooo" The young boy, later revealing his name to be Jake, called impatiently. "Mister, Lady, have you found my mommy yet? Is she gunna be okay?" He asked. For a little kid, he sure did ask a lot of questions.
