A.N. Sorry this story has taken so long to update. This story takes place at some point between Behind the Blue Line and Unconditional Love.
Greg Parker was normally one of the first people from the team to leave the car. Tonight, Wordy and Jules had left pretty early, Jules claiming she had to make a family related phone call. Leah had left soon after. Ed had gotten a call from Sophie saying Clark was spending the night at a friend so he left. Greg, Spike, and Sam had talked for a while and then he left the two young men to their own devices. He had exited the bar and was almost by his car when his phone rang.
Wordy? Why is he calling me now? he thought as he answered. "What's up Wordy?"
"Boss, Shelley's gone. Someone took her and two of my girls by force."
As Wordy spoke, Greg saw Spike and Sam exiting the bar and motioned for them. "You're sure of this?"
"Boss, she left a note and Ally and my niece are still here."
Greg cursed. "Stay put. Call your sister. I'm calling everyone in." He hung up the phone and looked at Sam and Spike. "I'm calling Leah and Jules. I want you to pick them up and go to Headquarters. You need to get my gear, Ed's gear, and Wordy's gear. Bring all three SUV's and the truck to Wordy's place." As he spoke, he dialed Leah's number. "Leah, SRU emergency. Spike's coming to get you." He hung up and began dialing Jules' number as Spike spoke.
"Boss, what's going on?"
"Shelley's missing and so are two of Wordy's girls. Go now." Neither Spike nor Sam asked any questions, they both knew Shelley would not just pick up and leave.
Jules picked up on the fourth ring. "Sarge, this better be good. I'm on the phone with my dad."
"Jules, SRU emergency. Tell him you will have to call him back. I know, it was a hard day. Spike's coming to pick you up and he'll explain."
Greg Parker began dialing the last number as he started his car.
"Yeah boss?"
"Eddie, Sophie there?"
"Yeah."
"Put me on speaker so I can talk to both of you."
"Hi Greg."
"Hey Sophie. Look, I hate to do this but can you two meet me by Wordy's?"
"Boss, what happened?"
"Wordy just called me. Said something about Shelley and two of the girls being kidnapped. Spike and the others are on their way to get the gear and cars and they will meet us there."
Sophie spoke as she dressed. "So you want me there to watch …"
"Ally. Yeah."
Ed nodded to her to head out. "Clark's at a friends. We'll be there in three."
Ed Lane and his wife Sophie pulled up to the house as Greg Parker exited his car, on his phone. "I don't care. You send some of your people down or there may be a leak in our system and the media will find out about that job that we had to do when you messed up." Greg hung up the phone and then nodded to Ed and Sophie. The three of them entered the house together.
Sophie sat with Wordy as Ed and Greg began poking around the kitchen, looking for clues. The rest of the team arrived shortly after and Sophie pulled Allie onto her lap (she had woken up despite her father's attempts that everyone should be quiet so she would sleep) so Wordy could change into his gear. Once all of the team members were in uniform, Greg nodded towards Wordy. "I spoke to Shelley last right before we left the station and I came home to find no lights on. Cat and Allie were locked in the nursery."
Cat looked at him from her mother's lap. She told everyone what she had told her uncle. Greg stopped her when she told them about the note and stared at it while she continued the story. When she finished, Greg motioned to Wordy's sister and said "take her home."
The woman looked like she was about to protest but a look from her brother silenced her. "Call me when you find her" she said before gathering Cat and leaving.
When the door closed, Greg asked "Wordy, your wife have any enemies?"
"The only one I know of is her ex and he is not allowed to be in the same city as her."
Sophie sighed. "But he is in town."
All eyes turned to her. Ed spoke. "How do you know this?"
She turned to Wordy. "Two days ago you took the afternoon off and took Allie with you when you drove on Lily's field trip. Shelley and I went shopping. When we were getting on line to pay, she grabbed my hand and said 'oh no, he's here'. She went back into the store while I stayed on line. The cashier must have known him and when she asked, he said he was in town for a few days to visit his brother."
Wordy swore.
A.N. I'm not sure whether I'm going to continue this or scrap it so let me know what you think.
