Chapter 5

"Scott." Nicole answered her cell phone wondering who might be calling. She had just left the office 20 minutes ago so it couldn't be Pollock.

"Nick, you and Jess need to come back to the office. We might finally have something to nail Daniel for the kidnapping and murder." Antonio quickly told her.

"Alright, I'll call Jess. We'll be there soon." Nicole said. Nicole immediately called Jess while she was driving to the office. She had wanted this opportunity to prove Pollock wrong forever. She wondered where Jess was since she hadn't answered her phone and Nicole had been calling her for over ten minutes. "What do you have?" Nick asked Antonio when she ran into him.

"From the autopsy. He finally messed up and we found two hairs that are his. We are also working on prints that we hope are his. He must have got careless at the very end because when I first checked there was nothing but on closer inspection I found them." Antonio said.

"Well all we needed were the hairs. Now we know who did it." Nicole said.

"By the way, where's Jess?" Antonio asked.

"I don't know. She's not answering her cell or home phone. I'm thinking she's probably out cold asleep." Nicole said.

"Probably as exhausted as she was." Antonio agreed.

"So you finally decided to join us once again?" Pollock sarcastically asked Nicole.

"You told me you didn't want me back until I had something, so I just put that to literal use, like you do sir." Nicole sarcastically remarked back just to piss Pollock off.

Pollock went to snap back, but Antonio jumped in before things got out of hand. "Like I was telling Nicole, when we first checked there was nothing, but when we looked again, and closer, we found two strands of hair that are Daniel's."

"Well, isn't that just great. Go arrest him and bring him to me." Pollock said. "But wait a second before you two leave."

"Sir?" Nicole asked a little confused since time means everything.

"Where is Mastriani?" Pollock asked. Nicole and Antonio looked at each other with a worried glance.

"We don't know sir. She went home when I did and she was exhausted and I figured the reason she's not answering either phone is because she's asleep." Nicole said.

"She would still answer her phone agent. She does every time. Before you go after Daniel, I want you to stop by Mastriani's apartment and make sure she's alright, even if it means kicking her door down. Understood?" Pollock ordered them.

"Yes sir." Antonio said. Nicole and Antonio instantly became worried after Pollock made his point about Jess answering her phones.

"You ready to deal with the worst?" Antonio asked Nicole.

"Yeah. But I am hoping and guessing it will be the best. I mean, there's her car." Nicole said as they pulled into the parking lot. They went straight up to Jess's apartment first to see if she was there. "Jess! Come on Jess, answer the door!" Nicole yelled while beating on the door. After several minutes of no answer she decided it was time to force entry. "Jess!" Nicole yelled hoping for a response. They began looking around for Jess, only to find out she wasn't there. "She's not here Antonio." Nicole said wondering where she could be but not getting panicked yet.

"Well I guess it's time to start forensics." Antonio said. "Let's start in the parking lot."

"I'll call her cell phone again." Nicole said hoping that Jess would answer. Once they were down in the parking lot, Antonio heard Jess's cell ringing. They glanced at each other before Antonio seen her phone laying on the ground.

"This explains why there is no answer on her cell phone." Antonio said as he picked it up.

"Antonio." Nicole said getting his attention.

"Yeah?"

"I think Jess is in some big trouble." Nicole said.

"How come?" Antonio asked.

"Here's her gun." Nicole said now beginning to get panicked.

"Let's see what the lab results bring and if there are any prints before we jump to conclusions, alright?" Antonio tried to convince Nicole. She just agreed with Antonio even though she had serious doubts that things would turn out fine.

Jess awoke with a severe headache from the effects of the chloroform. She had no idea where she was, but it felt cold and damp. Like a basement to her. Just like in her visions. She didn't think it meant anything. It had to be a coincidence that Deanna had been in a basement, that her vision had been about a basement, and that she was in a basement now. Or could it not be a coincidence? Could the person that kidnapped Deanna, kidnap her too? Jess tried to figure it out. As Jess looked around she realized she wasn't in a basement, because she could see a door, but it still felt like what had been in her vision. That was the one thing that terrified her the most. How much all of this tied to Deanna... and her visions.

Thanks to my reviewers. Sorry it took me so long to update. I will try to be quicker this time. (For everyone who reads What Would Happen If.. I have a few chapters written that I am currently editing, but it may take awhile after those chapters since I may now be writing it alone.. thanks in advance for everyone's patience with that story!) For this story... everything is going to begin to make sense with Jess and how much will Jess's disappearance affect Nicole? Please R&R! Thanks... Lexie
