Portland was just as I remembered it, although I didn't see much of it since once we grabbed our luggage we were brought to the awaiting SUV's to be brought to Lewiston.

Lewiston, especially downtown Lewiston, hadn't changed at all. It was still a place no one would want to walk around alone at night, and sometimes even during the day.

We got to the police station and met with the head of the department handling Sarah's case, Officer Caleb Bleakney. In all honesty, the guy looked about twenty-five with brown hair, blue eyes and a slight southern accent, he was sort of cute, but not anyone I could see myself with.

"Agent Hotchner, it's nice to meet you and your team."

"Same to you Officer. These are Agent's Reid, Jareau, Prentiss, Morgan, David Rossi, and Melissa Rossi."

"Hello, it's nice to meet you all." he replied scanning all of us and giving me a wide smile.

I returned the smile and felt my face flush.

After we got acquainted the team and Officer Bleakney compared notes on Sarah's abduction and made a plan on how to approach the situation. Since it was getting late we decided we would go check in at our hotel and go over to Sarah's house in the morning to examine the crime scene.

As the team was leaving the station, David pulled me aside.

"Melissa, don't you think now would be a good time to go see your mother?"

"David, I almost got a concussion today, don't you think I've been through enough hell for one day?"

"Melissa, we don't need her showing up uninvited to the scene tomorrow, which she will do if she doesn't know you're in town. Go see her and talk to her. That will be it, then you can go to the hotel, sleep and go to the scene tomorrow."

"I would agree and go, but I don't have a way to get to her house and then the hotel."

"I hate to intrude," David and I looked up and saw Officer Bleakney. "But, I overheard your issue and I could give you a ride to your mothers house then back to the hotel. It's the Ramada right?"

"That's very nice, but you don't have to do that." I gave him a warning look which he obviously didn't pick up on.

"No, no, I insist. It would be a pleasure."

I was just about to speak up when David spoke.

"Then it's settled, Melissa, you will go with Officer Bleakney and then he'll drop you off at the hotel."

And with that, David walked out behind the rest of the team.

Officer Bleakney and I walked out through the back doors to a cop cruiser. I went to the passenger side and got in the car. Officer Bleakney got in on his side, buckled up and pulled out of the station's parking lot.

"I really appreciate this Officer Bleakney, you really didn't have to do this."

"Oh it's not a problem, I don't mind Agent Rossi." I listened to his voice. It sounded familiar but I couldn't place it.

"Oh, please, call me Melissa."

"Well, if that's the case, call me Caleb. So is Agent Rossi your father?"

"Adopted father. He married my mom when I was ten, and adopted me after the wedding. They divorced when I was sixteen, but David and I stayed in touch, and when I was old enough I flew down to Quantico and the rest is history."

"So you are originally from Lewiston?"

"Yes, I am. By your accent I can tell you aren't"

"Haha, no. I'm from North Carolina. I went to College in Maine for law enforcement and liked it so much so I just stayed here."

"See, I was the opposite, I couldn't wait to get out of Maine. Take a right up here. Actually, it's in the same neighborhood as Sarah's house."

"Oh ok. So, you know Sarah?"

"We grew up together. She's been my best friend for as long as I can remember."

After about ten more minutes, we reached my old neighborhood. I told Caleb which house to go to and he parked in front.

I walked up to the door, leaving Caleb in the car, and knocked.

I heard the lock click and the door swung open.

"Well, look who came back."

"Hi mom."

"If you want to move back in, it's not happening. I never want to see you in this house again."

I could smell alcohol on her breath.

"I don't want to move back in, I want to talk to you."

"Well I don't want to talk to you so get your ass off my front porch and go away."

"But mom…"

"Never call me that again. I'm not your mother. I haven't been since the day you left."

And with that, she slammed the door in my face.

I just stood then for a second in shock, then turned around and walked back to the cop car.

"I'm guessing that didn't go so well."

"You have no idea. Can we just go to the hotel?" I didn't mean to sound like a bitch, but I was just extremely pissed.

"Yeah no problem."

We got to the hotel parking lot in a few minutes and I texted David to find out what room I had.

"Hey, Melissa, I'm not suppose to do this but, can I have your number. If I get any information on the case, I'll text you, and let you know what I find out."

Although I wasn't big on giving my number out to new people, if it was anything that might help me find Sarah, I was all for it.

"Umm yeah sure. It's 740-4232."

"Cool thanks, I'll text you later so you'll have my number. But, if I hear anything about Sarah, I'll text you."

"Great thank you." I said with a warm smile.

He opened his arms so I went in for a hug and as I pulled back, he leaned forward and his lips found mine.

The kiss was nice, nothing special, but nice.

"I'll text you later." he said with a smile which I returned. I got out of the car, closed the door, and he drove off.

I turned to walk to the front doors when I almost walked into Spencer, and by the look on his face, he had seen my good-bye with Caleb.

"Rossi sent me down here to bring you to the room."

"Oh okay. Thanks."

"I see you gave him your number."

I just looked at him, but realized he probably read mine and Caleb's lips.

"Uh yeah. Caleb told me if he gets any information on Sarah he'll let me know first hand."

"Caleb? I guess that kiss puts you two on a first name basis."

"Spencer, he's just being nice."

"I know, I'm sorry. Just, be careful, okay? I don't want to see you get hurt."

"Okay. And thank you for caring so much."

He gave me a small smile, and with that, we walked through the hotel's entrance to the team's rooms.
