"I want him found Mikhail and I want him found now." I was pacing my office, running a hand through my hair as I left Janine and Rose together. I couldn't calm down. Mason and Adrian let it slip that the reason Rose had the panic attack in the first place was because she saw Tony while she was out.

"Trust me, so do I." I smiled at my friend. He was a good man, a really good friend. He came with me from Russia many years ago before I met Janine. He has always been there, always helped me in my search for Janine. We shared in the heartache of losing her and we were equally as shocked by the news of Rose. He may be the head of my security team with Pavel but he is family first and foremost. I just wanted Pavel to come back from his vacation so he too could meet Rose and see Janine again.

"You're very fond of her, aren't you?" I asked and Mikhail laughed in response shaking his head.

"She's very charming." I smiled and nodded in agreement. That was true. There was something about Rose that was so brilliant it just made you like her. I was proud of the women my daughter was becoming, but I was angry at what she had to live through in order to become that women.

"I'm going to jail for a very long time." I grumbled as I sat down in the chair. Mikhail laughed and nodded in agreement.

"Not if you don't get caught." I gave him a weary smile. Janine walked into the room after a while. Je looked just as angry as I felt. Mikhail stepped aside to let her walk towards one of the chairs opposite my desk.

"I'm going to jail." I laughed as she fell into the chair opposite me. Mikhail shook his head and settled into the chair beside her.

"Looks like we're all going to jail. When Pavel get's back, I can say he's going to end up in the cells next to us." I laughed as Mikhail spoke his thoughts. He leaned back in the chair, crossed his less and put his chin in his hands. He looked as though he was thinking – probably of ways to kill Tony and get away with it. I laughed and sighed into my chair.

"How is she?" I turned to Janine. She leaned back in the chair and tucked her legs under her. I gave her a little smile.

"She's sleeping." Janine responded. She looked away for a second before turning back and staring me in the eye. "He's not getting away with this." I nodded my head in agreement.

"No, he's not, but despite the joke we having going on here about going to jail – we can't do that."

"I'm never leaving her again." I looked over at Janine and smiled. "We can trace his phone, hopefully he was stupid enough to leave it on." Janine gave Mikhail Tony's number to get a GPS location but when that failed Janine tried to call but it wouldn't connect.

"Does he have family around here?" Janine shook her head at my question.

"Please don't do anything." Janine turned around and I looked up as Rose leaned against the door frame. She looked pale and unsteady on her feet. "Just leave it. Please."

"Rose, you need to sit down." Mikhail stood as Janine guided Rose to the now empty chair. She tucked her legs under her as she wrapped her arms around herself.

"You should be in bed." I said. Rose gave me a small smile as she tried to open her eyes.

"I'm fine." She rubbed her eyes. "Just leave it alone. I'm fine." I smiled at her and Janine shook her head.

"That's a change – A child having more sense than the parents." Eric opened the door and walked in.

"No so loud!" Rose hissed as she held her head.

"What are you doing here?" I asked my friend. He leaned against the door.

"Being you're moral angle." He responded. "Good thing too – you're not going to be any good to her while the two of you are behind bars." Rose was nodding her head in agreement.

"I agree." I rolled my eyes. Rose sighed. "And now, I'm going to take a nap. Please don't be so load next time." Rose walked out of the room and closed the door silently behind her. Eric watched the door and sat in the chair Rose got up from, leaving Mikhail standing, which I don't think he minded.

"Now, we're going to get him legally." Janine rolled her eyes and leaned back in the chair, crossing her arms over her chest.

"You just took the fun out of it." I shook my head and rolled my eyes.

"Here. It's the number of a detective I know. Give him a call, get him to find Tony."

"How do you know-"

"Rose was right, you both are not the quietest when you're arguing." Janine rolled her eyes.

"Oh, by the way – Dimitri's here." Eric smiled at me. "I think you daughter has a boyfriend."

"A what?" Janine and I yelled at the same time as Eric laughed.

"Just remember how you teased me when Lissa started dating Christian. Now it's you turn." Eric continued laughing as he left. Mikhail was trying not to laugh, but I could see him trying his best. Every now and then a smile would plaster on his face.

"Oh, by the way." Eric called as he came back and popped his head through the door. "He went to her room." Janine and I both stood up and ran towards Rose's room, Eric's laugh bouncing off the walls as he left. Janine ripped open Rose's door. Dimitri was sitting on Rose's bed. The two of them were smiling and laughing.

"What's going on here?!" Rose flinched.

"Not so loud!"

"Then you shouldn't be sneaking teenage boys into your bedroom!" Dimitri sat there awkward.

"Oh relax! It's not like I haven't before! Dad let Mason and Adrian sat in here over night before!" Janine slowly turned around, her arms crossed over her chest. I tried to avoid her eyes. I shot Rose a look over Janine's head and he smiled back, waving her hand.

"Is that so?"

"They have no interest her at all!"

"Hey!"

"Goodbye!" Janine snapped at Dimitri. He slowly got up from the bed.

"I'll call you later." Dimitri smiled and was leaning forward.

"Her father's standing right here Dimitri!" He settled for a smile before walking out.

"You're very loud." Rose said as she lay back down on her bed.

"You're seventeen – no boys!"

"I'm nearly eighteen!"

"Rose!"

"You're too late anyway. We're dating."

"Since when?" I added to the exchange. Rose pulled the blankets up.

"Can we talk about this later?" She asked softly. Janine sighed and narrowed her eyes but nodded and pushed me out of the room.

"If my memory serves me right," I bent down to whisper in my ear. "I met you when you were nearly eighteen too." She rolled her eyes and put her hands on my chest, pushing me away lightly. I smiled and cupped her face, tilting her chin to meet her lips with mine.

I pulled away.

She pulled me back.
