Chapter 9

Their bliss lasted until morning . Kat got up early, letting Kelly sleep in. She puttered around the kitchen, making coffee, then sitting near the patio doors watching the snow fall sipping it. She heard her phone ping on the kitchen island so she went over to check it , finding she had a message from a number she didn't recognize. Frowning she opened it. I have information for you about the fire. Meet me outside. It came from a number she didn't recognize and had no name attached to it. She sat and thought for a moment, maybe it was from Kelly's OFI contact? But they would have messaged his phone… she was intrigued so she slipped quietly into the bedroom and changed, placing a kiss on Kelly's cheek. She wrote a quick note and left it on her pillow before piling on her winter gear and heading out the door.

Kelly woke up a few hours later and reached over to pull Kat close to him only to find nothing but her cold pillow and a piece of paper. He blinked hard a few times before reading the note "Kelly -I got a message about the fire, went to go talk to someone about it. I'll be back soon. XO Kat" He immediately jumped up and started pulling on clothes. Grabbing his phone he called Kat, and it went to voicemail . He texted, but didn't get a response. Called again, and went to voicemail a second time, this time he left a message for her to call him right away. Something wasn't sitting right with him, he hadn't had any messages from OFI , and he knew they wouldn't have contacted Kat directly anyway so he began calling the members of the Intelligence Unit he had numbers for. After 5 attempts he got through to Jay.

"Hey man, what's going on?"

"Jay, I don't want to seem needy or anything but can you guys track Kats cell phone ?"

"Geeze man, what did you do?" Jay teased him.

"I woke up this morning and she had left me a note. Said she got a call about the fire and was going to meet someone about it. Somethings off …" Kelly tried to keep the concern out of his voice but he couldn't.

Jay got it immediately . "Yeah No problem . Get down here, I'll start pulling her muds and tolls. " and he disconnected the phone.

Kelly grabbed his keys, and it dawned on him Kat hadn't taken his car. Wherever she was going it had to be in walking distance . He slammed the door behind him on the way out and made his way to the district as fast as he could.

Jay disconnected with Kelly and immediately started running the report from Kat's new number to find out who had been messaging her. By the time Kelly got to the precinct they had pulled a list of messages and phone calls she had received in the last week to check for any pattern , but the one they were most concerned with was the text she got that morning from an unknown number .

Kelly bounded up the steps into Intelligence two at a time. "Anything?" he crossed to Jay's desk where the rest of the team were hovering.

"She got a message this morning from an unlisted number, can't be traced. It said I have information for you about the fire. Meet me outside. What fire?"

Voight hadn't filled in his team on what went down the night prior, so Kelly quickly did, letting them know that Kat's house burned down and it was believed to be arson.

"Have you called Chief? Any of your fellow fighters? Maybe they wanted to meet with her to go over information?" Jay knew that wasn't it, but said it anyway.

"As far as I know OFI hasn't even been inside yet, so there should be nothing to talk about ." Kelly got a sinking feeling in his stomach. "Can you track her phone ?"

"Severide ? What's going on?" Hanks gruff voice boomed as he walked up the stairs into the bullpen.

Kelly filled him in while the team attempted to track Kat's phone, but it didn't do any good. "It's been turned off or it's dead, I can't get a read on it at all." Adam had been working feverishly at his keyboard. "The message said meet me outside . Outside where ?"

"Lets pull pod and camera footage of the street in front of Severide's apartment." Hank pointed at Adam and he nodded and got to work. "Have patrol do a canvas, see if anyone remembers seeing her this morning. Boots on the ground , start passing out her picture." He motioned to the rest of the team who grabbed their coats and scattered.

Kelly had sat down in an abandoned chair, head in his hands when he felt Hank clap him on the shoulder. "We'll find her. Call your 51 family , or better yet if they're still on shift go over there and talk to them. They can help join the search."

Kelly nodded , dazed look in his eyes, but walked out of the district and made his way to 51. When he got there his colleagues were just getting off shift.

"Hey Lieutenant! I thought you were home with that pretty girl of yours?" Herrmann called out to him. When the group got closer they could see something was terribly wrong.

"Severide what is it?" Matt spoke up , grabbing his friend by the upper arm.

"Kat, she left this morning. Had a message from someone saying they wanted to talk to her about the fire. Now I can't reach her… somethings wrong, I can feel it." Kelly looked at his friends with fear in his eyes.

"What can we do Lieutenant?" Cruz asked, and the rest of the group waited for an answer.

"Canvas around our neighborhood, ask people if they saw her. " Kelly hung his head. "Intelligence is working on getting pod footage , but Voight mentioned maybe if we had enough people out with her picture…"

"Say no more Severide, we'll be happy to help." Matt pulled his friend into a hug and held him for a beat before letting go. "I'll update Chief if you all want to start?" The group nodded and followed Kelly to his apartment.

Kat opened her eyes, blinking a few times before fully opening them and looking around. She didn't recognize her surroundings at all. She tried to sit up and groaned , her head felt heavy. What the hell? She tried to move and realized she couldn't move her leg very far. When Kat looked down she realized why, she was shackled to the bed with some sort of heavy chain. She could move her arms and hands she found out which was a positive. She pushed herself up slowly from where she had been laying and surveyed the room she was in. Wood walls, wood floor… she closed her eyes and took a deep breath in. Snow. She recognized the scent of fresh powder. Where am I? There was a bed that she had been laying on in the room, but not much else besides it and the chain she was attached to. She tried to calm her breathing, she could feel herself panicking and she knew that wouldn't be helpful, so she closed her eyes and thought about Kelly. Being in his arms, safe and loved. It helped, her breathing slowed and her mind started to clear. She remembered the text message she had received regarding the fire. But after she walked outside the apartment everything went blank. Kat reached around to the back of her head and didn't feel anything so she hasn't been hit or in an accident. She looked up and down her body and didn't see any bullet holes or knife wounds, no cuts or scratches that would indicate she had been in an accident of any kind… she saw she was still fully clothed, besides her boots and outside winter hear that had been removed. She pushed the sleeves of her shirt up and then she saw it. On her right arm, an injection mark. Drugged?? Who would want to drug me? She heard movement outside the room so she curled herself into a small ball on the bed, waiting for the door to open.

When it did she didn't recognize the man that came in, but he had brought her a plate of food and a bottle of water. "Where am I? Who are you?" she asked, knowing it wouldn't do any good but trying anyway . As suspected the man said nothing , but set the plate and bottle down and quickly exited the room again. Since she had been knocked out Kat didn't know how many hours she had been missing, but she hadn't eaten anything that morning before leaving the apartment so she was hungry. She ate, and after a few minutes the man came back to take away the plate. She tried again in desperation "Please just tell me what you want, I have friends that are in the police department. If you let me go I'll make sure they know that…" the man glared at her but didn't say anything , again just turning around and exiting the room.

In Chicago Voight's team began their canvas, speaking to Kelly and Kat's neighbors. No one could help, they hadn't seen or heard anything out of the ordinary that morning. The members of 51 took to the streets, showing Kat's picture to everyone that walked by the building, but it did no good. They were at it for hours, until Hank pulled them all back to the district.

"Have we got anything?" he asked Ruzek, who was still working diligently behind the computer.

"Nothing boss. Severide I'm sorry man, I've been through every possible camera or pod in the area, there's nothing. No trace of her." Adam hung his head, it wasn't the news he wanted to give the man.

"You have to be missing something. She didn't disappear! Try her phone again, do something, anything!" his voice cracked a little on the last word, and he sank into the nearest chair.

"What about that jerk from the bar?" Herrmann asked breaking the silence. "Her ex, what was his name?"

Ruzek started typing again. "Kenneth Bowman, 45, lives on Lakeshore Drive, but runs his business out of South Chicago. He's well connected, has friends in every place you can think of which is why he's never actually been arrested." He printed out a recent photo of the man and stuck it on the white board. "We were trying to get him on harassment after Halstead and Upton got Kat away from him back in November, but no judge would sign the warrant."

"You've got to be kidding me?" Kelly pounded his hands on the desk and jumped to his feet. "The guy physically assaults her, sent her threatening messages and you still can't arrest him? " He turned to Voight. "Her phone had over 100 missed calls and more texts and voice mails when I saw it and I'm sure I didn't see them all. That's got to count for something?"

"Kelly, I'm sorry. I tried." Hank didn't admit defeat typically so Kelly knew he really had done everything he could.

"Well then, maybe I'll just pay him a visit? Have a chat with him." He grabbed his coat and headed down the stairs leaving the resounding chorus of "No's!" behind him. "Antonio , Jay follow him." They nodded and took off after Kelly down the steps.

When Kelly burst through the front door of the precinct, he practically ran into Matt who was coming in. "Whoa, what's going on? Severide? Where are you going ?"

Kelly didn't want to waste time talking, he wanted to confront the man that had hurt Kat for so long, so he just ignored Matt and walked to his car before hearing Antonio yell for him. He stopped and turned to see Antonio pointing to his own vehicle and motioning at him. "Voight told us to tag along. You don't know where you're going so why don't I drive ?"

Kelly nodded and followed Antonio to the car where Jay and Matt were already standing. The four men jumped in and took off to their destination, Ken's penthouse on Lakeshore Drive.

When they pulled up to the fancy apartment building Kelly was seething. Kat had been gone for hours, and they were no closer to finding her than they were this morning. Kelly jumped out of the car almost before it was in park, and ran into the building. Of course the front desk person didn't give him the time of day until the other three men came in, and the detectives showed him their badges.

"Can I help you gentlemen?"

Kelly glared but didn't speak. "Yeah Detective Dawson, Detective Halstead , CPD, looking for Kenneth Bowman." Antonio and Jay held up their badges and waited.

"And you two?" the man turned towards Kelly and Matt.

They looked at each other , wondering if they should even bother. This guy wasn't going to speak to them … "CFD." Matt finally announced.

" I'm sorry sirs, I'm afraid Mr. Bowman isn't on the premises at the moment. Is there a fire? I'm sure I would have been notified…" the man was stalling, they could tell. But since no one would sign a warrant they weren't legally allowed to go any further than the lobby.

"No, we just need to ask him some questions. Do you know when he'll be back?" Matt put a hand on Kelly's shoulder, trying to keep his friend from dragging the man across the desk by his neck.

"I'm afraid I don't. If you want to leave a message I'll make sure he gets it as soon as he returns."

That was the last straw for Kelly. "Listen you no good –" all three men had to hold him back. At that moment the elevator doors opened, and Ken walked out. When he caught sight of the four men at the front desk he laughed and sauntered over to them, like he didn't have a care in the world.

"Its okay Tom. I've got this. " He waved at the desk attendant, who scurried off. "What can I do for you gentlemen?" he glanced at Jay and Kelly. "You two look familiar, have we met before?" his cavalier attitude was twisting Kelly into knots, and they all could see it.

"Severide why don't we wait outside ?" Matt asked his friend but didn't wait for an answer before dragging him out the front door.

"He seems upset, I hope everything's okay…" Ken said smirking.

"Detectives Halstead and Dawson, CPD. We need to talk to you about Katherin Bend." Jay flashed his badge at him , pausing to allow him to respond.

"Oh dear, what's Kitty Kat done now?" the same Cheshire cat grin appeared on Ken's face. "She's a clumsy one that girl . "

"She's missing." Antonio told him. "We need to know if you have any idea her whereabouts. "

"Gosh detectives, I haven't seen Kat for a month or more. Come to think of it, you were there." He pointed to Jay. "You and a gorgeous blond. I can't remember her name… you two took Kat away and I haven't seen her since." He looked down at his watch "I'm sorry but I really need to get going . Pressing appointment." He tossed the two men a look and walked out the front door, into a waiting vehicle that took off immediately.

Kelly was pacing outside . He saw Ken get in the vehicle and drive away, and it just made him more angry. "You couldn't stop him?" he yelled at Jay and Antonio when they walked out.

"Severide , listen . We are doing everything we can, believe us." Jay started in. "I know you're worried, hell we all are.-"

"You don't get it, I love her. " Kelly said quietly, before leaning against the side of Antonio's car and sliding to the ground.
