Hey guys so this one is short but important. Enjoy and review.

Sam closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as he and Stevie walked up his mother's steps. He still hadn't heard from Blaine and he was getting worried. Using his key to enter the house, he saw his mother jump up from her seat and run to him followed by Stacy. Sam allowed her to hug him then he turned towards her and hugged her back.

"I can't stay long, I knew you were worried so I wanted to stop here first."

"Are you ok when you didn't answer your phone I got so worried thinking the worse?"

"I'm fine mom, just tired from the day."

She sighed running her hands over his face, she shook her head. "You aren't, I see it in your eyes, what happened?"

Sam shook his head. "Nothing, I just have a stop to make."

"To where?" She questioned.

"I wanted to check on a family before it gets too late."

"It's about the girl? And before you even say it, Stevie told me everything before he left to pick you up."

"I can only imagine what he told you, but yes, I want to stop by her house see her parents let them know that I am not giving up."

Sam jumped as his phone rang. He pulled it out praying for the best.

"Blaine how is she? Is she hurt? Asking for me?"

Blaine sighed deeply before speaking up. "Sam she's not here."

"What? You missed them?"

"No, they split the girls up like Mercedes said, but she gave them the phone, knowing that we would be able to break these guys and find her and the teller."

Sam's heart sank deep in his chest. "Are you telling me she's not there? Not at all?"

"I'm sorry. We are headed back to the station, you can meet us there we are going to go after these three and find out where the other girls are I promise."

"Yeah, ummm yeah okay."

"I am going to stop by Monica's and Mercedes's homes let their families know what's going on."

Sam ran his hands through his hair. "You can do Monica, but I had planned on stopping by to see Mercy's family let them know what was going on. I will stop by the station first then go see her family."

"Really?"

"Yes really, what is the big deal?"

"Nothing. Well ok then I guess I will see you when you get here."

"Yeah.

Sam hung up his phone as his mom looked at him, she could tell something was wrong.

"Baby are you ok?"

He sat on the sofa and felt his eyes begin to sting.

"I was so prepared to hear Blaine telling me that she was fine and was looking for me."

"What happened?"

Sam shook his head. "She wasn't there."

"Baby."

"Apparently they split the girls up and Mercy made a decision. She gave the girls with the less threatening guys my phone so the police could find them."

Mary wrapped her arms around her son. "She sounds like something special."

"I knew she was brave for taking the place of that mother, so I shouldn't be surprised that when they split the girls up, she put their safety first. But I am so."

He stopped being a loss for words. His mom grabbed his hand in hers. She looked into his eyes and saw what her son had yet to realize.

"Heartbroken."

Sam shook his head no. "Heartbroken? No I'm just."

"Heartbroken." She encouraged.

Sam looked over to his mother and sighed at her knowing smile. She always seemed to know things before he or his brothers did. But this time she wasn't right. Was she? Sam thought deeply about his feelings and sighed. His mom leaned into her son.

"You're heartbroken baby."

"I don't know how it happened. I mean I see her every week and we exchange glances and smiles. Sometimes we talk, sometimes we flirt, and it was just automatic you know? And I knew something was there but I wasn't sure exactly what. And today of all days she talks to me like she was ready to see if we could actually make something of these meetings and this happens."

He scratched his head and looked at his mother.

"I am so scared of something happening to her. I don't know what I would do if I lost her."

She sighed.

"So you think that there really is something there?"

"I want there to be, I mean she is beautiful and sweet, talking to her made me realize that she is smart and special and seeing her take the place of someone else just because she had faith in me."

"Did she know what you used to do?"

"No but yet she still believed that I would do everything in my power to save her and I will."

"And I know you will. So you tell me what do I have to do to help you?"

"Nothing, thanks though mom. I am going to go to the station and then to her parents to talk to them. Her mom was really shaken up and I need to give her all the encouragement I can."

"Well let me come with you."

"Mom, no it's ok."

"You like this girl and her family needs you and you need me."

He sighed nodding. "Well I guess it won't hurt. I can meet you back here in about half an hour, I just want to know if she told them anything."

His mother nodded, as she stood. "That works, dinner is still cooking but I made enough food for an army as I always do. Once it's done, I will have Stacy and Stevie help me pack up the food so we can take it over there when you get back. I have some fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, corn on the cob and a warm peach cobbler. Something told me to cook and cook a lot so there is enough for us and them."

Sam looked at his mom and hugged her.

"I love you."

"I know you do."
