Leonard paces around the room quickly waiting for the police and a detective to arrive. They also called their friends to come over so they can start a search party.

"They can't be far! They're only five!" Leonard says worried for them.

Penny then shouted upset, "Does it look like I'm stupid to you Leonard?! I'm am very scared they're gone!"

Leonard finally sat down on the desk chair and the door opens revealing Raj, Anu, Howard, Bernadette, Stuart and Denise.

"Any luck?" Bernadette asked worried as well.

"No. The police are coming."

Howard then said sounding upset, "I can't believe they ran away."

"We don't understand why," Penny replies, "It was either that, or Amy's mother kidnapped them."

"Penny, for the forth time, it was not her mother. I called her even, she's going to come over here and demand an explanation… And I even asked if they are with her, she said no," her husband said.

Then Penny realized something.

"Leonard? You don't think they… Overheard us last night?" She asked worried.

Thinking about it for a moment, Leonard then said, "I'm not sure… I guess."

"What is this all about?" Raj asked curiously.

Leonard starts explaining, "It was a long story. But Amy's mother won't let us adopt her. We were supposed to bring her this morning otherwise she call the cops and file us for kidnapping. Also we got Sheldon's test results. It turns out Sheldon has high functioning Autism and OCD."

"Oh… So that explains everything," Howard said surprised. Everyone else looked stunned as well.

"Oh yeah. I guess Sheldon and Amy heard my meltdown and probably ran off sometime last night… But I don't know where to. They could be anywhere."

Penny then finished, "Which is why I want all of you to search around Pasadena for them while we stay to talk with the police. We'll message you every hour and each of you guys give us a status report. Alright?"

They nodded and then left to search.

It took a few hours. Penny and Leonard gave descriptions to the officer and detectives while their friends looked over Pasadena for the two missing children. So far they haven't found them. They're getting restless and even more worried.

"We're doing the best that we can," the one of the officers said. "We'll make sure to call you if anything happens."

"Thank you officer," Leonard said nodding as the cops left and it was just him and Penny.

He went to sit on the couch and sighs, "I can't believe they're gone. This is all my fault." His eyes are filled with tears starting to cry.

Penny immediately wrapped her arms around her husband and kisses his head.

"It is not your fault. I promise you. It's not your fault," she says while hugging him tightly.

Then they heard a pounding knock on the door and Penny released her embrace, standing up and went to the door and opened finding Mrs. Fowler standing there with a very angry face.

"Mrs. Fowler-"

"Save it!" She barges into the apartment, pushing past Penny shouting, "I know you have been hiding my daughter!"

Leonard slowly stands up confused. "Excuse me?"

"I know Amy is around here somewhere!"

"But Mrs. Fowler! Amy is not here!"

"Don't you lie to me! I know that she's in here."

Leonard said, "No. We're doing the best we can! The police are looking for them, our friends are looking for them. Everyone is looking for them."

"You and your bad parenting," she said. "You just let her run off to the streets where she can get killed."

He couldn't believe what he was hearing. He finally explodes to her face.

"NO! IT WAS YOUR BAD PARENTING THAT MADE AMY FEEL THIS WAY IN THE FIRST PLACE!" Leonard roared furiously. Penny was stunned at Leonard's anger. She has seen him angry before, but not like this. "Now because of you, Sheldon and Amy are now missing! Amy clearly doesn't want to be back with you because she's terrified of you! So you know what? Either you get sign the adoption papers and get the hell out of our apartment or we'll call the police and have them come here so you can tell them all the things you did. And you'll lose your custody rights! Either or the other. Your choice!"

Mrs. Fowler who was shocked, came forward and growls, "How dare you! I will not sign the papers. And I will not talk to the police. I'll have the both of you arrested because I know you told her to run off."

"We didn't!" Penny shouted. "You think we're total idiots and couldn't raise a child! But we can!"

Mrs. Fowler then scoffed. "Look at you both. You clearly can't."

Just then a ding sound came from Leonard's phone. He went to check it seeing the message that VISA sent a fraud alert.

Penny then asked, "What is it Leonard?"

"VISA sent me a fraud alert. Hang on." He calls the card company and then waits before hearing a response. "Hello, this is Leonard Hofstadter… I'm calling about the fraud alert you sent… No…. No… Yes, I want to know the transaction….."

Penny and Mrs. Fowler watch as Leonard listens to the call.

"Wait what? I spent $218? … On two train tickets….." With the sudden look of shock. He now knows where the kids are. "To where? …. Ok. Thank you for letting me know." He then hung up.

His wife then asked, "What's going on? They found the kids?"

"They're on the train Penny! They're heading to Galveston! Sheldon must've snuck into my wallet and took my VISA card." He puts in another number in his phone. "I bet they're over there right now. Penny, tell everyone we located them." He puts his iPhone to his ear and then speaks, "Hi Mrs. Cooper, it's Leonard."

I know what ya'll are thinking. The train ticket taker is so stupid for letting the kids getting on the train. Please leave positive reviews so I can move on. I'll try to write another chapter before going away next weekend.

Anyways, I want to write a Shelnard bromance story but I need ideas and i'll try to write when I'm done with work.
