7.39 u: Maybe they hadn't realised it but the team had forgotten the fact that Martin and Samantha were originally assigned to question Melissa. And now nobody had thought that maybe she could give them an interesting lead to follow.
Meanwhile they had nothing, only Martin was a bit convinced that George Finn had something to do with it but he hadn't told that to any one yet although he could notice that Danny really agreed with him.
He wanted to prove it but he had no proof at all. "Martin?" he heard Jack say behind him and he turned to see him exiting his office.
"Yeah."
"Grab your coat, we're off to Sam's apartment. We're gonna question her neighbours, see if they saw something.
Danny, I've gotten a call from a teacher from Sarah's school. It seems that their were often visitors with Sarah and most of them were guys from over the eighteen years, can you check that out?"
"Yeah sure." Danny said and he went off almost bumping into Vivian who was just coming their way.
"Sorry." He apologised.
"Oh, it's nothing. Didn't see you coming. Euhm, Jack, I've looked again in Jack 1's files but also now in his father's files. Since they work together. It seems like the company has done a bad deal some months ago, they lost a lot of money."
"Okay, good check that out and maybe go talk to some of the people who lost their money they could have been holding a grudge against him."
Meanwhile Martin had taken his coat and he was ready to leave, if there was something that the neighbours knew, he would find it.
8.00u: First they had questioned the doorman of Sam's apartment but seeing he saw her enter her apartment and saw nothing about her leaving and he was only there till twelve they knew it had to have happened after that and seeing that it would have been in the middle of the night they knew they would have to have a lot of luck to find someone who saw something.
Now they were visiting an elder couple who lived across the street and their luck seemed to be far away.
"Did you notice anything strange this night between twelve and six?" Martin asked, maybe a bit too eager to find something.
"Young man, what do you think we did on that moment." The elder woman said. "We sleep and no, we haven't notice anything strange."
"But honey." The elder man interrupted. "Maybe I hadn't been dreaming it after all."
When Martin heard this his hart made a jump he knew he was probably a bit too enthusiastic but he somehow felt that this would help to find Samantha.
"What was it?" Jack asked with a patient voice, he was dying to know it inside but was able to be al business on the surface.
"Well I woke up this night when it was almost one and I thought that I heard a fight, down on the street. So when I looked outside I saw indeed a couple of people fighting. One of them was a lady and on the moment that I was watching one man grabbed her but she was able to hit him and run away. I don't know what I thought but I went back in bed and when I woke up this morning, seeing my wife didn't hear anything and all I thought it was a dream."
"Have you recognised any of the people."
"Yes, see that was what I thought was so weird. The lady seemed to be a woman the apartment block across the street, but she didn't seem like a girl who would fight, you know."
'Samantha ' ran immediately through Martin and Jack's mind, but the news about this, didn't comfort them one single bit.
"Did you saw maybe a car standing by, that they wanted to force her in a car, or something?" Martin asked.
The man sighed and Jack knew that he hadn't seen much.
"No, or maybe. I don't know. It was dark."
All this time the elder woman had been standing a bit away from them looking at the street and when Martin went to stand next to her, he noticed a strange look on her face.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"I keep thinking about that car that was standing there, last night." She said pointing at the empty space on the parking lot in front of Samantha's apartment block.
"How did the car look like?" Martin asked while he heard behind his back the conversation between Jack and the elder man continuing.
"That is what I find so strange, it was a car you don't see so often in this neighbour. A big black one, with dark windows like in the movies."
"When did you notice that he wasn't standing there anymore."
"Just now. When you asked Louis about the car I thought about that and then I noticed him missing. I don't know what I have to think about it but it's pretty strange don't you think?"
"Yeah, it is." Martin said, as thoughts were running through his head. So they had tried to kidnap Sam but she escaped the first time, they probably got her again and since they were with more then one and she's missing, it's pretty obvious that they succeeded in their job.
But if they wanted to kill her, they would have done it immediately wouldn't they. If they wanted her to convince to do something in their advantage they would have called, maybe they don't know she's a cop. But it was clear enough that it wasn't ransom.
Was she hurt, was she thinking of him?
He wished he knew it all and he hated the thought that she was all alone somewhere in a dark place, hurt and not knowing that he loved her.
