"Hey , you are trying to reach me , Callie .. obviously . Unfortunately I'm unable to come to the phone right now , so just leave your message after the tone .. I will return to your call as soon as I am able to do so . Thanks ."

Arizona took a deep breath before she began to leave the twenty third voicemail to her girlfriend . "Callie , it is almost dark outside . Could you just answer my call and let me know where I could pick you up ?"

She threw her phone on the coffee table in front of her only to ended up reaching for it again . "Callie , it's me again .. Arizona . Fine if you don't want me to pick you up but just come home and we will .. we will talk this out . We always figure it out by talking , why not this time we do it again ? Just come home .. I promise this time no yelling , no screaming .. Just come back to our home ." She slumped her back on the couch , staring at the skies that had started to darken through the transparent big glasses window .

The skyscrapers all around her penthouse were starting to light up with its shining bright but her penthouse was gloomy . Not bothering to turn the lights on , Arizona laid on the couch in the dark . Her phone was tightly pressed against her chest , waiting for the call that seemed not to be coming .

Arizona closed her eyes , slowly ... finally slipping her hectic mind into a deep sleep .

Emotionally , she was just tired .


The Next Morning

She thought she fell asleep just for a while because it had been like she had only taken a one or two hours sleep but it was already the morning after . When Arizona opened her eyes , she was still in a state of confusion . How could she not be ? Waking up to the image of her head of bodyguard staring right at her , like he had been waiting for her to woke up for hours .

"What ?" Arizona rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand . She sat up , her back was really sore .. thanks to the couch . "Did I sleep through Christmas and it is New Year already ?"

"Nope , just through the rest of the night ." George gave a small smile , enjoying Arizona's joke for a while seemed to be the only thing that could make him less anxious with the news he was about to break to his employer . "I think you could use a cup of coffee ." George eyed up to the freshly brewed coffee on the table next to Arizona .

"Thanks and good morning ." Arizona lifted the cup , bringing it to her lips . "Callie is in the room ?" She asked , assuming that Callie was still upset at her when she came back last night . The reason on why she slept through the night on the couch — her girlfriend was dead mad at her , that was what Arizona thought .

"She isn't ." George answered shortly , his eyes reading Arizona's face that had quickly changed .

"What do you mean she isn't ?" The blood drained from her face . George's face tells it all , that something unusual was happening now . He had always been a person with an honest microexpression . And the coffee that she had been sipping ? It didn't seem to be hot anymore . It was cold that Arizona couldn't care less if her shaky unsteady hand spilled the coffee onto her own feet .

"She is not upstairs in the room . In fact , she didn't come home last night . Robbins ..."

"And you fucking let me sleep through the night ?" Arizona stood up . "You should have woken me up !"

"Arizona ! Arizona !" George put both his hands on the side of Arizona's shoulder . "We may have a bigger and worst situation here . We didn't just do nothing . While you were sleeping , we went searching for Callie to every local bars in the city . Every streets that we could think of , that she usually took . Everywhere , we asked around and we only found nothing . Except for this one bar where she was last seen via CCTV leaving with a man that we could not identified around 10 PM . But she wasn't really leaving with him . They were talking and drinking , Callie seemed to put a safe distant between herself and that man but once Callie stood up and left the bar , the man followed her a few seconds after that . This man , he was kind of shady and he perfectly avoided all the CCTV that the bar owned from capturing a clear view of his face . And his height fits with the height of the person that set your cars on fire nearly a week ago . I'm telling you , I am very sure that this is the same person ."

"And ...?" Arizona stared at George , never blinking her eyes as she wanted to hear the words clearly and loudly . She seemed to know the words . Something with George's voice in his last sentence made her feel like George wasn't finished with his words yet and even his eyes were telling her all about the worst situation now . Deep down , eventhough she didn't want it to be true .. Arizona knew .. She knew the words that were about to come out from George's mouth .

"I am sorry , Robbins but I am certainly sure that Callie is in a bad situation right now , most likely .. she has been kidnapped ." George painfully let out his professional view on Callie's sudden disappearance .

Arizona's eyes bulged . At loss of words , she anxiously ran her hand through her blonde hair . For a moment , she didn't say anything but she was pacing back and forth in front of George . Covering her mouth with one of her palm , Arizona ended up locking her tense eyes into George's . "God , why didn't you wake me up last night ?! You .. you could have call me ! You supposed to call me . That was the right thing to do ! Notify me about this ! And I thought you had your people watching her all the time after she left yesterday ?"

"We lost her . Callie went to lots of places yesterday and we lost her in one of the locations that she went . It was around 8 or 9 . We thought we could track her down but we couldn't and I did call you somewhere around 10 but you didn't pick up the phone ..."

Upon hearing George's words , Arizona walked pass him to reach for her phone on the table . The phone screen was all black as the battery had died . "Just great , my phone died !" Arizona yelled in anger , while she made her way to the nearby charging area .

"I had my men came up here to check just in case if Callie had gone back here without us knowing while me and the other team continued searching . We showed her photo everywhere and by 4 in the morning we went to this one bar . Bartender said he did see her and we demanded to see the CCTV footage ... And .. that is all we got right now ." While George explained all this , Arizona was busy going through her phone logs , message and voicemails .

"Arizona , I need to know how you want me to handle this situation . I mean , do you want to involve the local police ? Or do you want to wait on that ?"

"I DON'T KNOW , GEORGE ! Maybe ? Do we call the cops now ? Or do we wait for a phone call from the kidnapper , asking me to prepare a ransom money ? Or maybe he isn't a money motivated kidnapper and we will never get a phone call ! Maybe he is a stalker or a pyschopath .. a rap... Oh god ." Arizona couldn't finish her own words , her heart rate rapidly increased at the thought of a serial killer or a raper kidnapping the Latina . "I don't know what to do , George ! I don't have any experience in this sort of things . I never had my girlfriend kidnapped before this . All I know is my girlfriend is missing and I just want her to come home safely . And all I can do right now is checking my phone to see if I missed any important phone calls . Maybe one of them is the kidnapper trying to reached out to me . I don't know what else to do in this kind of situation , so please .. just do whatever you can do or should do , George ." Arizona said crushingly . It had been a long time since the last time she had this feeling . The feeling of being helpless and useless of anything .

"We will continue with the search but if there is no lead or phone call until 3 , we call the cops ." George suggested , he had a hunch that the phone call would never come . Seeing the pattern of the threats that Arizona had received , all of it were being pointed directly toward Arizona . If Callie was kidnapped by the same man that had secretly terrorize Arizona , the blonde was actually also in danger . And that would make Arizona as the actual target . Callie was probably just a collateral damage . Maybe she was only kidnapped just so that this pyschopath could torture Arizona mentally .

George's jaw tense , if that was the case .. It would only be a matter of time before the pyschopath set his move on the real target — Arizona .

"Have you searched the coffee shop , her loft ?" Arizona asked in a weak voice .

"I did this morning and I told her worker to call me if she suddenly shows up ." George replied .

"Which worker you spoke to ?" Arizona rubbed her temple . She knew she had a lot of explaining to do if Lexie — the protective friend was the one that George talked to .

"Lexie Grey ."

There it goes .. What's done is done and it can't be undone ... Arizona sighed heavily , still going through her phone . "I want to follow the search too ." She suddenly added .

"I don't think it's a good idea . You could be a target too , Robbins . We have tightened up the security around this building , it is safer that you stay here ."

"I couldn't just sit here and not do anything . I will go crazy , George . I have to do something . Do something to help ." Arizona looked away from the screen but only for a brief moment .

"You are helping by being here safely . I don't want you to go out there and got yourself kidnapped too . There is a high possibility that this man will not just stop here .."

From her seat with the phone placed next to her ear , Arizona just shook her head repeatedly . George took it as Arizona protesting against his suggestion . "Quit being so stubborn , Arizona . I can't afford something bad happening to you too if you go out there searching for Callie with ..."

"George ." Arizona shushed him . "It's from Callie . She did call me last night ." She put her phone on loudspeaker , playing the voicemail she got from Callie .

"Arizona . It's Callie . It just feels weird around here and there is this .. man . He is just .. making me really uncomfortable . Can you come to the Oak Street now ? The boys weren't with me , I disappeared myself from their sight , I'm sorry . Pick me up now , please ?"

Tears had started to gather around her eyes , especially when Arizona heard the way Callie uttered the last word . The tone of that 'please' , there was a worry vibes in it mixed up with terror . Arizona never heard Callie pleaded like this before .

In what way did the man make Callie felt uncomfortable ? This was the question Arizona had in her head right now . She gritted her teeth in anger . The more she thought about it , the more angry she felt . It was probably only few times in her life she felt this kind of anger . The anger that was just enough to made her tears slowly fell down .

"Arizona .." George called , gently comforting her with a hug .

"She asked me to pick her up but I didn't answer her call ." Arizona sobbed into the hug . "I just slept through the night instead . I just .. slept ."


A/N : Hey , how are you guys doing ? I hope everybody is doing great . Maybe some of you are in home quarantine , I just finished a two months home quarantine and I'm going back to work tomorrow . The virus is still out there in my country , though . I hope everyone stay safe out there . Do practice social distancing and only go out when needed , yeah ? I have been writing during the quarantine season and I have two or three chapters ready but I could only get this chapter out today — in what I described as a filler chapter . Accessing fanfiction in my own country has become very hard as the site has been somehow blocked (the apps is doing just fine , not blocked but I usually update a new chapter using desktop site mode) . I'm still trying to find an alternative way to access fanfic but the method I have been using sometimes crashed down , so please bear with me for next update . I will try to find some other ways .

By the way , is there any Killing Eve's fans out there ? And The L Word Generation Q ? Since my last update until today , I have been watching these two series and I am so into it , especially with Killing Eve . I kinda wished I have watched it sooner lol . Maybe I should write about KE as soon as I finish with this story :D Just wondering if the fan base of Villaneve is just as huge as Calzona : )

Anyhow , until then .
