Chapter Eighteen
After hearing from Viv about Katie had just lied to him and went out on her own to find Sara without telling anybody, Martin was staring at Viv for a few seconds until both he and Viv heard the door was beginning to opened up. To see who is coming into the tech room, Martin and Viv turned around from where they are at and met one of their colleagues, who was done with his part of the investigation of Martin's daughter.
Danny Taylor was walking through the doorway and closing the door afterward when he both saw Martin and Viv, both staring at him. Danny got confused when he saw the both of them, staring at him like he is a stranger and asked Viv and Martin, "Hey, guys. Why you are giving me that look?" Martin and Viv didn't know what Danny was talking about until they both ended up saw the confused face Danny was giving them. Martin figured that Danny had gotten scared of what he and Viv are giving them and to tell his best friend that he is not scaring the crap of him, Martin told Danny of the things he founded out earlier with Katie, and eventually, told him about their colleague's disappearance.
The moment Martin was done telling him about all of the things he just learned, Danny told Martin and Viv of what he just thought of that. "Holy crap. Katie had just left." said Danny who was staring at both Viv and Martin, especially at Martin Fitzgerald. Seconds later, Danny asked Martin again if he is telling him the truth because he thinks that Martin is trying to frighten the crap out of him again. Martin stared at Danny for a few seconds and shook his head, telling him the truth about all of the things he had told him.
After hearing that again, Danny was quiet for a few seconds which Martin and Viv knew that Danny was thinking about something. When Danny was done thinking, he turned to Martin and Viv to tell them what he thought about that? "Martin. I think that you better tell Jack about this."said Danny. The moment Danny was finished his thought, Martin had no idea what to do about that? Martin Fitzgerald was clueless about it until his little brain told him to think of some pros and cons about the situation. Martin agreed with that and thought of some pros and cons for a minute or two.
Some of the pros about the situation are Katie's disappearance can help them find Sara, can arrest Alanna of what she just did that pissed a lot of people off, and of course, he can have his little girl back and they can go back to their normal lives but there was only one con from all of that. Katie will hate him to death if they will mess up her plan. She could don't want to talk to him for days and will be giving him the evil eye and the finger for a long time but he and the rest of the team had to find her because no one had to know about this, especially his father who will do the very things that Martin don't want to happen. Also, if that happened, he don't want Sara to be in the middle of all of this. It will be just too much for her, especially for a little child of his.
To tell Danny of what he had thought of it, Martin looked at Danny's face and told him that his idea is good and they should tell Jack and the girls about what had happened and hopefully, they can use Katie's disappearance to find Alanna and Sara. Danny and Viv agreed with that and right away, Viv walked over to Martin and said to the father of the missing child, "I hope that you will find Sara very soon because I needed her thought of how I should find the jack of all the trafficking." and joked about the last part. Martin smiled at his mentor and told him that he is fine with it. Viv smiled at both Danny and Martin and left the tech room to finished her all-nighter. After Viv had left, the two men talked to each other for a few minutes before heading out to Jack and the girls to tell them about what had happened.
Five minutes later, Martin and Danny went to Jack's office and founded out that Jack is not here by seeing that the office was pitch dark. After seeing that, the two of them was talking to each other about where was Jack might be at right now. The moment that they took away the men's restroom and the break room out of the list of options, the both of them are starting to think that Jack might be with the girls at their desks. They both agreed with that, and right away, they walked away from the door of Jack's office and into the office of the Missing Persons Office to tell the team of what Martin just got.
When the two men got back to the MPU office, Danny and Martin founded Jack, helping the girls at the table where they gathered around to talk about the case and helped each other almost everyday. The moment they got there and founded them, to tell them that they got something, Danny cleared his voice very loudly and right away, he got Jack, Sam, and Elena's attention. Seconds later, Jack was staring at Martin and Danny and asked Danny, "What you got, Danny?" Danny stared at his boss and told him and the girls that Martin got something by pushing Martin toward them with his hand on Martin's back.
The moment Martin got pushed by Danny, he wanted to kill him because he almost tripped on himself but he stopped that so no one don't want to know about that. To tell Jack and the girls of what he just got, Martin cleared his voice and told them that. After talking for a minute, Martin looked at the team to see how they reacted to that? For a while, the three of them are really quiet about that and didn't talked at all but it was broken down by Jack, who asked them a question. "Martin. Are you really sure that Katie had just left?" asked Jack who is staring into Martin's eyes. Martin saw Jack staring at him, and told him right away that was true.
After hearing Martin's answer, Jack was thinking about something for a minute or two while his team was staring at him, trying to think what situation was Jack having in his mind? Hopefully, something that is in the field of New York City. The moment Jack was done thinking of a plan to find Katie, he told Sam, Danny, Elena, and Martin about his plan. Jack turned to Martin and asked him if the car Alanna was driving on the security tape had a GPS system? Martin told him yes and asked Jack, "Why do you needed that for?" and was confused by that. Jack saw Martin's confused face and answered his question, "That will be helping to find Alanna and your daughter, Martin."
Martin nodded to himself and stared at the rest of the team who was getting assignments. Jack turned to Danny, Elena, and Sam to go over to Lucy to find that car that Alanna was renting. The three of them agreed with that and right away, they walked over and headed to the tech room to get the help from Lucy to find the rented silver sedan that might holding Sara Fitzgerald. After Danny and the girls had left the office, Martin had figured out that he and Jack plus a few random FBI agents who decided to pull an all-nighter on their own cases are the only ones in the whole office and right away, Martin knew that he is doing something with Jack to find Katie Carter.
Wanting to know what is going on, Martin turned to Jack and asked him that. Right away, Jack looked at Martin and answered him, "Martin. We are going to find Katie before anything bad will happen." After hearing of what Jack was telling him, Martin knew that what Jack was telling him and agreed with him. Katie is probably out there somewhere to find Alanna and possibly will hurt her. There might be a cat fight tonight between a Federal Agent and a civilian. Before they knew, it might be up in the news soon. That could be awful.
To tell Jack that he agreed with that, Martin agreed with that and right away, Jack told him to go to Lucy to put a trace on Katie's cell phone and called him if he got one so they can find Katie. "Sure, Jack."said Martin and left the office to head over to the tech room to find Lucy to put a trace on Katie's cell so he and Jack can find Katie before it's too late. After Martin Fitzgerald had left, Jack just stayed in the MPU office until he get a call from Martin and tell him that they got a trace on Katie's phone and will be going out with him to Katie.
It had happened twenty minutes later. Jack was sitting on a chair when his cell phone was ringing in his suit jacket. To answer Martin's call, Jack reached his hand into the pocket which was contained his phone, put it out, flipped it out, and answered the call by saying, "Malone." "Jack. I got a trace on Katie's cell." said Martin. "Good. Where she is at?" asked Jack. For a few seconds, there was silence but it was broken by Martin who told Jack the rest of the information. "I only got to talk to Katie for a minute and I got something of where Katie might be." answered Martin. "Where?"asked Jack.
"While I was talking to Katie, I heard some noise that sounded like she is in a bar."answered Martin. "Do you got a location?" asked Jack. "It stopped at 240 W 55th St, which is a bar named McLaren's." said Martin. "Do you know where the bar is at?" asked Jack for the last time. "Sure, Jack. It is a fifteen minute ride from here. Are you coming?" said Martin. Jack thought about it for a while until he told Martin his answer. "Yeah, Martin. I'm coming." answered Jack. "Great. Meet me in the front of the building then in five minutes." said Martin and it was disconnected right after that.
After the call was disconnected, Jack put his phone into his suit pocket, got up to go back to his office to grabbed his coat, and get outside to meet Martin to go over to McLaren's to find Katie before anything will happen.

When Katie got to McLaren fifteen minutes after she left the building, her cell phone was ringing. Thinking that someone she knows was calling her, Katie rolled her eyes to herself and reached into her pocket to grabbed her phone, flipped it over, and answered the call, "Carter." "Hey, Katie. It's Martin." answered the phone. Thinking that Martin might be wanting to know where she is at?, Katie answered the call, "Oh. Hi, Martin." A few seconds had passed while Katie was walking down the stairs to get into the bar until Martin broke it by asking her, "Kate. You okay?" "Yeah, Martin. I'm fine now. You find Sara yet?"said Katie who was reaching for the door handle to opened it to get inside from the freezing cold and into the warm, cozy bar.
"Nope. Didn't find her yet but I hope that we could find her tonight." answered Martin. "That gonna be good, Marty. I am glad that you are being to be happy about this." said Katie. "Yeah, I am." said Martin. After Martin had said that, Katie had founded the person she was looking for, told Martin that she had to go now and will see him later, and shut off her phone afterward. After shutting off her cell phone, Katie putted her phone and walked toward the bar to talk to the one person she was looking for.
Carl was pouring two pints of beer for a man who had weird, dark brown hairstyle and gave the beers to him. After he gave them to him, the man told Carl thanks and right away, Carl said to the man, "No problem, Ted." Ted smiled at Carl while grabbing the pints and walked away with them to his friends at one of the booths. The moment Ted had left, Katie got closer to the bar and sat down on the stools to wait for Carl to noticed her so she can asked him some questions about Alanna Hennessey.
Once Carl had noticed Katie, sitting across from him on one of the bar stools all alone a couple minutes later. From seeing one of his regulars being all alone, he knew that that person needed a drink. To do that, Carl grabbed a shot glass in one hand and a bottle of tequila in another to pour it into the shot glass and put it in front of Katie so she can drink it. Katie stared at the shot of gin in front of her, looked up to Carl, and said to him, "I'm not in the mood." Carl heard Katie's answer and asked her if she wanted beer, which is her second choice of liquor instead. Katie shook her head and to make a joke to her, Carl asked her if she wanted some cranberry juice. Katie looked up to Carl and gave him the face, telling him that she is not having her period.
Carl saw the face that Katie had just gave him and shrugged his shoulders while saying, "Okay. Fine, then. Don't put it down on me." and began grabbing the shot of gin away from her. Halfway through the grabbing, Katie had said something. "Carl. Don't do that. I might be on duty but I am pretty sure that I might want one." said Katie. After hearing that Katie is on duty right now, Carl asked her, "So if you are on duty, why are you here, Katie?"
Seconds later, Katie pulled out a picture of Alanna, put it in front of Carl, and asked him if he had seen this woman before? Carl moved his bald head closer to see the photo and seconds later, Carl told Katie that he had seen this woman and right away, Katie asked him when he last seen her? "About ten minutes ago, Katie." answered Carl. "What she was doing in a bar while she was watching a child?" asked Katie. Carl stared at her after the word, 'child' and asked Katie, "She had a what?"
"Yes, Carl. She had a child with her tonight. A child that she just kidnapped a few hours ago exactly." answered Katie who grabbed the photo away from Carl and into her sweater pocket. Moments later, Carl asked Katie a question. "From what you just telling me, that woman in the photo had kidnapped a child, right?" asked Carl who was being confused from all of this. Katie nodded and told him that the child the woman had kidnapped is a sweet, little, four years old girl named Sara Fitzgerald who is the daughter of a FBI Agent and got kidnapped by this woman at Sara's godmother's home which is the woman Carl was looking at right now.
After hearing all of that, the only words that are coming out of Carl's mouth are oh and shit. "Yes. That is a pile of shit but now, you better tell what does this woman was doing here because there are a couple of fucking Feds looking for this fucking woman and all of them, including her father and me know and loved this little girl and are more likely to kick this woman's fucking a....." Katie got interrupted by Carl who was saying to her, "Okay, okay, then. Jesus, Katie. You don't to have to curse your mouth off." Katie listened to what Carl was telling her and asked him, "So, Carl. What had happened with this woman?" Seconds later, Carl told Katie Carter all about it.

Fifteen minutes earlier
Carl was staring at a woman who was poking at her shot of scotch right in front of her. He had been studying her since she came into the bar and ordered a drink and during the studying, Carl noticed that the woman had a hand which had been scarred up with blood and cuts. Wanting to know that the woman is okay?, Carl gave one of the customers their drinks and walked toward her to ask her a question. When he got to her, Carl asked her, "Hey, lady. Are you okay?"
The woman looked up to the bartender from her untouched drink and told Carl that she is okay. Carl didn't believed what the woman was telling him and asked the woman again, "Are you sure because of your hand?" The woman stared at him again and then, looked down at her hand while saying to him, "I am sure that I am fine. I had hurt my hand thousands of times and I really don't needed any help, okay?" After hearing that, Carl stared at the woman for a few seconds before telling the woman that he is cool about it and in the future, if her hand is ended up being in pain and really in pain, she should holler him so he can get her to a hospital.
The woman smiled at Carl and told him that she is okay with it. Carl grinned at her, telling her that he is also cool with it. After telling each other that, the both of them went back to what they are doing before the conversation. The woman went back to her drink while Carl the Bartender went back to pouring drinks for his customers.
Carl continued working for a few minutes until he turned around to see if the woman he was talking to before was okay? The moment he had turned around, the woman was talking to NYC's biggest man whore, Barney Stinson. Barney was standing right in front of her while asking her, "Hey, babe. Can I buy you a drink because from what I heard around here, you are pretty hot around here." The woman giggled to herself and told Barney that she is fine with it but they had to wait because she needed to get something out of her car in her Irish accent. Barney grinned at her and from the accent, Barney asked her if she came from Ireland? The woman nodded and right away, Barney said to her, "So, you had some bad luck of the Irish then?" The woman nodded again and they chatted for a few minutes before leaving.
Few minutes later, after talking and flirting with him, the woman got up from her seat and told Barney that she better get going and she will be back for that drink. Barney told her that he will see her later. The woman smiled at him before putting on her coat, grabbed her clutch off the bar, telling Carl thanks for his help, walked to the front entrance and left. After she left, Barney walked back to his friends and during the walk, there was only one thought in his horny mind. "I'm going to sleep with her tonight." thought Barney while sliding down one of the booths and chatting with his friends until the woman comes back and am ready to fuck it with him.

Katie stared at Carl after he told her that and asked him a few more questions before a voice telling her, "Hey. You're back." Wanting to know who is the hell was talking to her, Katie turned around from her seat and founded Barney Stinson, standing right in front of her. Katie looked at her like she had never seen him before and from seeing the blue eyes, Barney had figured that the woman in front of him wasn't the woman he flirted with earlier. It was some other hot chick.
"Oh. Sorry about that. I thought that you are the woman I flirted with earlier. You and she had the same h....." apologized by Barney. Katie interrupted him and finished his sentence by saying, " You thought that she and I had the same hair color and texture and I am not a criminal like this woman you was talking about, right Barney Stinson?" Barney got confused from what Katie was talking about and asked her if he know her before? Katie shook her head but she knew one thing about Barney Stinson. "I know who you are, Barney." said Katie who was staring straight at the eyes right now.
"Who I am, ma'm?" asked Barney. Katie got in his face and answered his question, "You are a God-fricking, a piece of shit, man whore!! Plus, you think that you are going to fuck it with me like every other woman who had fucked it with you over the many years." Barney was silenced for a few minutes until he asked Katie something else. "What the hell?" asked Barney who was getting closer to Katie. Katie saw Barney getting near, told him to get away from her, and did one thing that was truly shocking.
Out of the blue, Katie grabbed her shot of gin and poured it down Barney's expensive, tailored, designer suit. After Katie had just did that, Barney looked at his soaked suit to Katie's face and asked to her, "What the fuck you just did to my suit?" Katie stared at the suit and then, at Barney's shocked face and told him that she is trying to protect all woman of New York. After she had said that, Katie turned to Carl to tell him thanks for his help. "No problem, Kate. I will see you soon." said Carl. Katie smiled at the bartender and right away, Katie gathered up her things and left the bar in a minute to go to other bars where Alanna might be at.
After Katie had left the bar, Barney grabbed some paper napkins from somewhere to get rid of the mess while asking Carl something. "Carl. Who is the hell is she?" asked Barney. Right away, Carl told Barney that the woman who poured gin down his suit is a woman named Katie Carter and she is a FBI Agent. "FBI Agent. Really?" asked Barney who was amazed from all of the information Carl had told him. Carl nodded yes and right away, before heading off to his pals, Barney had told himself about this Katie Carter who worked for the Feds. "Wow. She is HOT and FEISTY. Me like." thought Barney who headed off to his friends and stayed there away in case that woman will come back for the rest of the night for a while.
