Casa Walsh

Brandon was sitting on his bed watching Kelly just pace back and forth as she processed what he had just told her. Nothing could make him feel worse about himself than watching her rub her temples as she walked. He wanted to tell her that he loved her, but for some reason that didn't seem like a good idea at the time. He wanted to tell her that everything was going to be okay and that they were going to find Cassie and bring her back safely. He just didn't know how to do that without upsetting her.

Kelly on the other hand, couldn't believe that he had waited this long to tell her what he and Dylan had been up to and why they had disappeared for so long that morning. She wanted to scream at him and tell him that she needed him, but at the same time she was glad that he did what he did. At least that little girl was going to be reunited with her mother really soon… some of the other officers were already on their way to pick her up.

"You okay Kel?" Brandon asked watching her for a reaction.

"No… I'm not okay!... Brandon my daughter has been kidnapped by a madman who is hurting her…" Kelly sat down next to him on the bed as she momentarily lost it and broke down. "He hit her Brandon… he hit her hard… and all I can think about are the screams I heard coming from her before that line went dead." She said as her hands wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I… I don't know what to say to make your pain go away." Brandon said as he tried to put his arms around her.

" Brandon don't..." Kelly said as she pushed his arms away and fell back onto the bed.

"Look, I know that I have no business telling you what to do right now, but can I at least make a suggestion?" Brandon asked as he stood up and faced her.

"Sure." Kelly said as she opened her eyes and propped her head up on her hand.

"You might not want to push your friends away from you right now." Brandon said as he put his hand on the doorknob.

" Brandon, wait!" Kelly said as Brandon slowly turned around. "I don't mean to push you away… I just don't know what to do… I miss her so much you know… It's just hard to try to be happy when I know that she isn't… Brandon she is sitting in a house somewhere scared to death and hurt, and I can't do anything because I don't know where she is… I'm just afraid that I'm never gonna get her back… that I'm never going to see her again." Kelly said as he came back to the bed and sat next to her.

"Well, we are never going to get anywhere if we don't start thinking positively." Brandon said lying down next to her.

"Thanks… I guess that's why I love you so much." Kelly said as she put her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes as she took a deep breath.

"Kelly?" Brandon asked.

"Uh-mm." She replied actually relaxed for the first time since she found out that Cassie was missing.

"I love you too." Brandon said before realizing that she had fallen asleep.

Downstairs In The Living Room

Down in the living room the rest of the gang was sitting around the coffee table not sure what they should do to make things easier on Kelly. Brenda and Donna were sitting on the couch with David while he flipped through the channels aimlessly. Steve sat in the chair across from them just staring off into space. There was a knock at the door just as Cindy came in with a tray full of glasses and tea. She set the tray down and headed for the door, and as she opened it there was a big surprise. Standing in front of her was Andrea Zuckerman, a look of concern plastered across her face as she stood there.

"Andrea?" Cindy questioned her unsure on why she was there when she had her own little girl to worry about.

"I came as soon as I could… where's Kelly?" Andrea asked concerned for her friend.

"She's upstairs with Brandon…" Cindy started.

"Thanks!" Andrea said as she headed up the stairs.

Brandon's Bedroom

Kelly had fallen asleep on Brandon's shoulder and he really couldn't blame her because she had to have worn herself out with all of the worrying she had been doing. He looked over at the door just as it started to open to reveal Andrea. She slowly came into the room as Brandon looked at her a little more than confused. Instead of trying to explain everything to him she walked over to where Kelly was and gently touched her shoulder slightly waking her.

"Hey, I heard about Cassie… How are you holding up?" Andrea asked as she sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I'm scared… Andrea he's hurting her… and I don't know where she is." Kelly said sitting up on the bed.

"Don't worry we'll find her… I know you're scared, but you have to stay strong for Cassie." Andrea said as Kelly smiled slightly.

"It's okay to smile you know." Brandon said as he watched her smile fade as quickly as it appeared.

"No… No it's not… not until Cassie is home, safe, where she belongs." Kelly said looking over at him.

" Brandon, I know you want to help, but I'm not sure you really know how too… It's hard enough watching something like this on TV, let alone being the one actually going through it… just try to imagine how hard this must be for her." Andrea said forgetting that Kelly was sitting right next to both of them.

"What do you want me to do? Do you want me to find out where she is? Because I can't do that… if you haven't noticed I am not a cop!" Brandon said standing up.

"No that is not what I am saying at all…" Andrea started to say but Kelly cut in.

"Actually I think that is a great idea… Andrea can you leave us alone for a few minutes?" Kelly asked as Brandon searched her face for an explanation.

"I'll be downstairs." Andrea said as she got up to leave.

Once Andrea had left the room Kelly jumped off the bed and practically knocked Brandon over. She had jumped into his arms and wrapped her arms as tightly as she could around him. She really couldn't believe that he had even suggested what he had, but it was worth trying and she was going to help get her daughter back if it was the last thing she did. Brandon on the other hand was just confused. He had no idea what prompted this turn around, but he wasn't complaining about it either. He loved how enthusiastic she had become… it was almost like she was back to her natural self.

"What is going on with you? One minute ago you were so depressed and now look at you!" Brandon said as he watched her face.

"I think I might be able to get the address the call came from." Kelly said as she watched him begin to pace back and forth.

"What are you saying?" Brandon asked.

"The cops aren't going to get her back… they have no connection to her, but we do and we can get her back tonight!" Kelly began as she begged him with her eyes.

"I can't believe I am doing this! Okay, why don't you grab some darker clothes from my dresser and meet me outside." Brandon said as he grabbed his jacket.

"Don't leave without me." Kelly said as she watched Brandon leave before she went to his dresser.

Brandon had another plan in his mind. He didn't want her getting hurt. After all Dan didn't really want anything to do with Cassie, he just wanted to mess with Kelly. He wanted to make her suffer for breaking up with him and having Cassie. Brandon wasn't about to put both of them in danger. Without saying anything to the rest of the gang he grabbed his keys off the side table and headed out to his car. He was going to head to Dylan's… if anyone was going to help him it was going to be Dylan. Dylan after all was his best friend and someone who also really cared about Kelly.

Dylan's House

Brandon pulled his car into Dylan's driveway and headed up to the front door. He rang the doorbell and then knocked at the door until Dylan answered. Brandon wasn't about to waste anytime with pleasantries; instead he just walked past Dylan and into the living room as he began to explain what the hell he was doing there.

"What are you doing here man?" Dylan asked.

"Don't ask questions just come with me." Brandon said as he grabbed Dylan's jacket and began walking back out the door.

"Wait a minute B… Where are we going?" Dylan asked as Brandon turned around.

"I copied down the address the call was made from and I need you to come with me… Kelly wanted to, but I don't want her getting hurt… Please man!" Brandon said watching Dylan's face for a response.

"What are you waiting for? Let's get this little girl back!" Dylan said walking past Brandon.

Dylan's whole demeanor had changed the moment Kelly's name was brought up, most likely because he still loved her. It was something he felt that he owed her. After all he hadn't been the nicest person to deal with lately, what with everything that had gone wrong in his life. Brandon wasn't letting the way Dylan's mood suddenly changed get to him, he was just glad to be doing something that would get Cassie back in Kelly's arms. That's right… they were going to get her back… no matter what it took Brandon and Dylan both knew that neither of them would be coming back without that precious little girl with them.
