Pete pushed the door with his hand.
"He left the door open."
Jack walked in past him and looked around.
"Don't touch anything. If you find anything give us a shout."
"I know"
Jack rolled his eyes and walked into the bedroom. He opened some draws just finding bits and pieces of Jonas clothes. He walked over to a cupboard and opened it.
"Holy shit! Shanahan, get your ass in here now!"
Pete came running in.
"What?"
Jack pointed to a shrine that Jonas had created in his cupboard.
"He really is screwed up."
"Now do you think im wasting police time?"
Pete looked at Jack.
"Im sorry."
"Apology accepted."
Jack stepped closer and looked at the pictures. He took one of them off the wall.
"This was taken a month ago."
"How do you know that?"
"I took it. It was at a crap carnival but we all managed to make fun of the day."
Jack stared at the photo silently.
"We'll find her son."
Jacks eyes shot up with the familiar voice.
"General Carter."
"It's ok Jack. You can call me Jacob. My son explained to me the help and commitment you've put in to finding my daughter."
"Mr.Carter, you really shouldn't be here. It's a possible crime scene."
"Well, im here now and i don't plan on leaving until someone updates me."
Jack looked at the shrine and then looked at Jacob.
"What's in that cupboard?"
"Clothes."
"I've raised two teenagers. I know when people are lying to me."
Jacob walked over to him.
"Sir, i really don't thi...."
"Im going to kill him. Do you have any idea where he is?"
"No."
"General"
Jacob looked back to see a major standing in his view.
"What is it Major?"
"Everyone is insisting that you leave the scene. I think it would be a good idea if we leave and let these men get on with their jobs."
Jacob nodded.
"Yeah. I want some of the best officers we have who aren't in Iraq helping with this search."
"I'll get on to it asap general."
Jacob turned back round to look at Jack.
"Stay strong son."
Jacob saluted him and walked out.
(Somewhere Unknown)
Sam sat on the floor of the bathroom brushing her hair with a brush that had been brought with her stuff. She heard the door to her room open.
"Sammi."
Sam stopped brushing her hair and took a deep breath to stop the tears from starting again. He didn't deserve this but was she crying because of him?
"I wish you would come out. You know im doing this because i care."
Sam saw the bottom of his feet through a gap at the bottom of the door. She moved back so he was totally out of view.
"It seems you really can stay in there forever."
Jonas moved away from the door and began to kick it causing Sam to jump.
"If you won't come out, then i'll get in."
Sam backed as far away from the door as she could. The kicking stopped when a mobile went off.
"Yeah what do you want?"
Sam moved closer to the door again so she could hear snippets of the coversastion.
"It's not my fault if lover boy isn't acting the way you want him to...No the silly little tart has locked herself in the bathroom. I'll be right there."
Sam closed her eyes and whispered a silent thank you as the door shut. Sam looked around the room and got down on her knees and brought her hands together.
"Dear Lord, i know i don't pray much. Ok i never pray but please let someone find me. Please let Jack forgive me if i fail to keep Jonas away from me. Let my friends and family stay safe and be able to move on without me."
Tears fell from Sam's eyes.
"Amen."
(Jack's Room)
Jack sat on his bed and put his ahds together, closing his eyes.
"Hi God. I never do this kind of thing so i apoligise if i screw it up. I love Sam but you know that cause you know everything. I want her to be safe and i want to find her, if not for me but i want to find her for her friends like Janet and for her family. Jacob's already lost his wife, don't let him loose a daughter aswell. Thanks for listening God."
Jack took a deep breath and looked up to his ceiling. His phone rang and interupted his thought.
"Yup?"
"Hi it's Daniel. Did you find anything?"
"Yeah a couple of addresses. We're going to check them out first thing in the morning. It was getting to dark to check them out now."
"Well i'll let you get some sleep. Well done Jack."
"Cheers Daniel."
"Bye."
"Bye."
(Morning)
"When are we going?"
"When everyone is ready."
"When will that be?"
Pete placed his coffee down.
"Are you this always annoying?"
"Pretty much unless im around Sam then im only a bit annoying."
Pete looked as a bunch of officers got in their cars, giving him the thumbs up.
"Let's get started."
Pete chucked his cup away and slammed the car door shut.
(4 hours later)
"Nothing sir."
Pete shook his head and joined Jakc on the bonnet of the car.
"There's only one place left. If nothing turns up there, we'll be back to square one."
Jack nodded.
"My bosses are going to turn this into a murder inquiry if we dont find her in the next 3 days."
"They wont have to do that because we are going to find her today."
Jack got back in Pete's car.
"What the hell are you waiting for?"
Pete shook his head and got in the car.
(Somewhere Unknown)
Sam finally came out of the bathroom and pulled at the door to make sure it was locked. Even though she didnt want to be here, it was probably safer to have the door locked.
"I can feel the magic floating in the air.."
Sam quietly hummed to herslef to give comfort. She fell back on the bed and placed her head on the pillow. Banging began at the door.
"No. Please lord no."
Sam squeezed her eyes shut to give the impression she was sleeping hoping this nightmare wouldnt get worst.
So who is it? Jonas or Jack?
