"Nat, where is Jay?" what was she supposed to say, it had been the fifth time he had asked her and this time there was no distraction or excuse that came to mind. Each time he asked, Will was still groggy; in fact the first two times he had woken up after he regained consciousness he forgot everything they had talked about prior, she had worried he had Short Term Memory loss. It was until the third time that he repeated his question about Jay that he recalled that she was hiding the answer. She held his hand and looked into his eyes as he searched her face with confusion. She didn't have a poker face for this, with patients it was different, she was a stranger but this man in front of her she had started to plan a life out with, someone she had known for a long time.

"Do you remember what happened Will," She asked softly. She could see him wrack his brain trying to pull some type of answer out of thin air, in the end he shook his head in defeat. She let out a sigh and adjusted herself next to him. "You were attacked."

"I was," he asked in shock.

"Yes, you were."

"So, Jay is looking for who did this?" She bit the edge of her lip as she shook her head. For a minute she broke eye contact not sure how to present the rest of the news to Will. He looked so lost and now to add on to it, worried.

"You were attacked at his apartment." She could see the wheels turning as he searched for where she was going and then his eyes grew wide and she knew he was at the wrong conclusion.

"Jay didn't do this," Will insisted.

"Absolutely not; no, but he is missing, and they think they have a lead."

"Jay is missing," he repeated.

"Yes, but his whole team is searching right now, and I know them, they will find him."

"Yeah, I believe that one hundred percent." She smiled and gave his hand a quick squeeze and laid a gentle kiss on his forehead. "Do they know what happened to me?" She leaned back and nodded before relying all the information to him. How he was with Jay, somewhere in there they were attacked, and he was beaten with a metal lamp, that he had somehow escaped even with blood loss and a TBI and collapsed into a snowbank close by. She told him about how he came in nearly frozen to death but with the help of his friends he was still alive and how for now there were a few gaps but perhaps he would remember or perhaps Jay or the attackers would fill in the blanks. He was silent for a moment, taking in the full information before looking to her and nodding in understanding. She could tell he was falling asleep again, his body still healing from the brutal attack so she let him slip into a peaceful sleep, giving her time to take a breather, up until now she had tried to stay calm for him but inside she was a disaster. She took a breather outside his room, still close by incase; she checked the time, Jay had been missing for 14 hours, she began to worry whether or not she had just given Will false hope.

Only about six miles away from the hospital where Will lay recovering, the team crept silently around the perimeter of the abandoned warehouse that Carols had told them about. Hailey and Kevin rounded the back exit while Adam and Kim took the old docking station and Dawson and Hank took the front entrance. Over their COM system voice asked if everyone was in position, each of them sending out a quick good to go before Hank gave the orders to raid the station. Hailey ran in the back clearing the empty rundown offices on the left while Adam took the right side. In the distance she could hear gone shots before Antonio's voice sounded over the walkies.

"Offender down, second one on his way to you Kim and Kev."

"I've got eyes," Kevin radioed in. Kevin and Kim must have been close because Adam could make out clear as day that Kim was yelling at the offender to get down on the ground. Hailey and Adam finished clearing their area before meeting with Kevin and Kim, walking in just in time to see Kevin yank the man to his feet, hands cuffed behind his back.

"You guys need to get in here," Hank's gravelly voice yelled from a few rooms down. They rushed into the room pulling their perp behind them, Kevin pushed him into a corner and threatened him to stay put.

"Oh my god," Kim gasped looking around the room. It was obvious that this had been the primary location that Jay had been, it was very much in a similar state that they had found Jay's apartment, a bloodied mess. Hank's face twisted into an expression of pure rage, he pushed past Kevin and shoved the perp into the wall hard.

"WHERE IS HE," he demanded.

Anita Powell woke up confused and disoriented, she knew she was at the hospital, but she didn't know why she was in a hospital gown or why she had this heavy pressure pain in her chest. She looked around the room as her vision became clearer, she could tell she was in the ICU.

"Anita, thank god you're awake," She looked at the doorway and saw one of her friends, Lacy Martin enter the room quickly.

"Lacy," She felt foggy on what was happening.

"I'm right here; what did you get yourself into?" It flooded back so quickly, the two men that walked onto her unit, she knew them from a previous encounter, she remembered them calling her name and then shots rang out and she felt like she had been punched hard and knocked down.

"I need to talk to an officer," She insisted.

"There is one outside of the door, what is happening."

"My neighbor is in trouble."

Voight was well into his fifth round with the perp from the warehouse; Hector Benos, a young kid who was trying to act grown avoiding any questions that Voight threw at him. He was getting now where with him and time was quickly slipping out of their grasps. The blood from the scene was fresh so Jay had been there very recent and even better the bloody mess didn't all belong to Jay, but a good enough amount had which worried them all. Kid may have been young, but he wasn't stupid, he had quickly lawyered up causing the investigation to be put on a pause… or so he thought.

"Sarge," Kevin and Kim rushed into Hank's office.

"What do you got," he asked almost a little too hopeful.

"We just got back from the hospital; Anita Powell made a statement."

"Well…?"

"She was letting the gang hide drugs in her apartment to help her brother get out clean, she says they knew Jay lived in the apartment complex and saw that he was catching on."

"Does she know where they may have taken him?"

"No but her brother may, and he just showed up now ready to be fully cooperative."

"He is in interrogation room three with Antonio," Kim informed him." Hank pushed away from his desk and rushed over to the room. Antonio had just walked in, he slid a cup of coffee across the table to Luis Powell who sat white sheet faced.

"We appreciate your cooperation Luis," Antonio spoke in a calm tone.

"Espejismo almost killed my sister, she never deserved that she is the better of us and I dragged her into this." The guilt was written all over him he wore it heavily on his shoulders.

"How long did you roll with his crew?"

"Two years, I was stupid and reckless, it wasn't until Anita pulled me aside and pointed out my stupidity that I wanted out."

"But they weren't going to let you go that easy."

"They did… I just didn't know that Anita had made a deal with the devil to get me out."

"You know how they roll then, where they take people."

"I know they start off in the warehouse and if you didn't find your friend there, he could be in one of two places depending on whether they killed him or not."

"Assuming he is still alive," Antonio pushed on, not wanting to believe the later of the two.

"He also works out of an abandoned house on Addison street; they call it the murder house because an elderly couple was killed there, no one has bought it since."

"I need an address and anything you can tell me about traps or what to expect.

"I can do that; but please in return keep Anita safe, I don't care about me, but she needs to be safe."

"I promise you I will keep her safe just help us find our guy." Luis nodded and quickly scribbled down all he could think before sliding it over to Antonio.

"That's everything, be careful, Espejismo is a tricky guy and he may have switched things up since I left."

"Thanks," Antonio nodded before exiting and handing the paper over to Hank, this was their last hope, Jay was running out of time.
