Street walked into HQ with his gym bag slung over his shoulder. Hondo and Deac were deep in conversation and exchanged concerned glances and they noticed Street.

"Hey Street…. Got a minute?"

Street knew Hondo and Deac were there for him, there for Chris, but this was messy, and he wasn't sure if it would end ok for anyone involved yet. This was not going to be comfortable. Street had called Hondo after leaving Chris last night. He explained that Kira was missing, and city detectives were looking for her. He didn't go into details about why Kira was missing or what had caused her to run off, but he knew being honest with Hondo was important.

"Yeah, any updates on Kira yet?" Street had been home to shower after spending most of the night comforting Chris. She had fallen asleep on him and he had been too blissfully happy to leave her.

"Street…." Luca hollered as he approached them "How is Chris? I can't believe Kira is missing, what a nightmare"

"Hey man, she is as good as can be expected. She hates being stuck in that hospital and unable to help"

"Yeah I bet, Hey Deac can I run this by you" he continued walking away with Deac.

Hondo walked towards the kitchen with Street several paces behind. As they entered Street gasped and struggled to catch his breathe. Ty was leaning against the bench.

Hondo turned to Street as he took a water from the fridge. "So, I called Ty down here to give us a run down of what happen and help us find a starting point to look into, but we are on standby Street and if any other cases come in, we have to drop this and go."

Street nodded at Hondo and tried to summon the courage to speak to Ty.

"If you get started here and get a run down of the night that Kira went missing, I will go touch base with the lead detective and see what I can find out" Hondo motioned for Street to sit with Ty and headed for the door.

Street had never felt so uncomfortable and guilty. Ty looked uncomfortable too and shuffled to a stool opposite Street.

"Ty, I ah … I'm really sorry to hear about Kira. We will do everything we can to help find her" Street started.

Ty looked at him and Street recognised the fear, anger and hurt on his face.

"Look, I don't know how much you know about that night already, but I know you know why Kira was upset and stormed out of Chris's hospital room."

Street looked down at the floor ashamed of himself. "Man, I …" he started

"Street, look I am not here to mend fences or fight over Chris right now. Don't get me wrong…..I am pissed and angry about the situation but I am here to help you guys, you are my best chance of finding Kira. She is the love of my life, I can't imagine myself without her. She is everything to me" Ty's eyes were becoming teary and his voice shakey.

"I need her man, she is my soul mate".

Street swallowed hard and sat there listening to Ty professing his undying love for Kira and how heartbroken and scared he was, and while it was heartbreaking to hear he couldn't help but think "does he feel this way about Chris? Or is Chris just his / their play thing?"

"ok…. Have you spoken to Hondo or Deac about that night yet?"

"no not in detail, just that Kira left the hospital before me and I haven't seen her since"

Street breathed a deep breathe in "ok, did Kira say anything before leaving that could help?"

"no, I mean her, and Chris were exchanging verbal blows" Ty explained. "Kira reacted badly to Chris kissing you when we had just asked her to move in with us. Kira was angry and hurt and Chris was combative and defensive, and I guess… I mean Kira just lost it and couldn't even talk or look at her anymore. That's when she left in a rage. I wanted to go after her, but I wanted to calm Chris down and make sure she would be ok too."

"So, Kira didn't say I'll meet you downstairs or in the car….?"

"No, she just stormed out!" he banged his closed fist on the bench, Ty was upset. Street recognised that level of emotion, that level of love for someone.

Street knew he had to be professional, but he also knew that he needed to tell Hondo why Kira had left upset. If the detective uncovers it and tells him instead of him coming clean himself, Hondo will lose it. Street couldn't bear the thought of getting Chris in trouble again. He asked Ty to write everything down about what she was wearing, where she might go etc and he went to find Hondo.

Hondo was in the situation room with Commander Hicks.

"Hey um… can I have a word with you two in private, it's important and can't wait?" Streets heart was in his mouth. He knew that if he spilled these beans there was no going back. Once he told the Commander and Hondo that he and Chris had feelings for each other that that was it. One of them would be transferred off the team and moved elsewhere. He had already caused her so much pain though he was going to declare his knowledge of the situation and volunteer to transfer himself if need be.

The Commander and Hondo were confused but both walked with Street back to the Commanders office.

"What can't wait Street?" Hondo asked as he shut the door behind them.

"I've spoken with Ty and there are somethings that I need to brief you on so we can work out a direction from here" he started. His heart was about to jump out of his chest. This was it.

"Ok" Commander Hicks nodded as he leant against his desk.

"Chris and I have..."

"Sorry to interrupt Sir but you are gunna wanna see this" the Captain said opening the door "it's The Emancipators again". She turned on the TV on the wall and all four of them stood watching a live hijack broadcast of an horrific kidnapping and hostage situation that was unfolding in East LA.

Street never finished talking to the Commander or Hondo that day. They ended up pulling a double shift and by the end of it all Hondo didn't have the time to chase Street up as he was buried in paperwork. It was late and Street was so exhausted mentally and physically that decided to go straight home to bed.
