I haven't gone into James' room all day today. I really wanted to check on him too. I was trying, to go by the rules set by the men in suits. I was worried about James, and I don't even know him… how silly does that sound? There was just something about him. I felt for him, even without knowing his story…

"Hey are you alright?" I hear one of the new nurses ask. Pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah." I say as I nod. Thankfully, she doesn't know me enough to spot the lie.

"Are you sure? I mean, you've been distracted all day." she says as she shrugs.

"Oh, I just have a lot on my mind." I say as I fake a smile.

"Is it about the patient in room 304?" she asks.

"What about him?" I ask, as I try to be cool about it.

"He's missing." She says flat out.

"What? How can he be missing?" I ask shocked. I try to keep my voice down, so I don't attract attention.

"Yeah… he's been missing, since then end of your shift last night." She whispers, as she looks around in case anyone is listening.

"So why is that agent here?" I ask confused.

"I don't know… a few people have said, that maybe the patient… was into something illegal." She says as she shrugs.

"I highly doubt he'd be capable of that." I say annoyed at the idea.

"Who isn't capable of something?" I hear someone ask.

I turn around to find the red head, from earlier that I had talked to.

"My brother." I say quickly.

She gives me a funny look, so I keep talking.

"We were just talking about… the fact that he needs to stand up to his boss. But he isn't capable of doing it." I say as I look at my fellow nurse. Thankfully, she nods to prove my made up story.

"Tell your brother to grow some balls then." The red head says as she rolls her eyes.

"I will." I say as I laugh nervously.

"I um, should get going. It was nice talking to you guys." I say as I smile, and they both just nod. I hold my breath as I walk away from them. I didn't know that red head, but there is no way I was going to tell her anything.

I clock out from work, and then I grab my things out of my locker.

As I grab my cell phone, it starts to ring. I look at it funny when I see my neighbor calling me.

"Lucy?" I say confused.

"Hey! I was just wondering, if you were home." She says as she laughs.

"No... I'm just clocking out now." I say as I shake my head.

"Well... then who did I see in your house?" Lucy says confused.

"What?" I say confused. She's played this prank on me before, but that time I was IN my house.

"I thought I saw, some guy in your house." Lucy says as though I'm hiding something from her.

"You know I'm not seeing anyone." I say as I roll my eyes.

"Well dude, is one fine piece of meat." Lucy says as she laughs.

"Bye." I say as I shake my head, and then I hang up the phone.

I put my phone in my pocket, and then I start to walk out of the building.

'Why would Lucy, say some guy was in my house?' I wonder to myself, as I walk out to my car. 'Was she messing with me? Or was she being serious?' I hated being left with questions. Because, I couldn't stop thinking about them and I wanted to get an answer.

I reach my car and I fish out my keys, as I go to unlock the door... I hear something behind me. I try to ignore it; this isn't some sort of scary movie. I shrug it off, and I put my key into the lock.

As I go to turn my keys... someone taps me on the shoulder.

"AH!" I scream as I turn around. "Oh my god!" I say as I rest my hand over my heart. When I realize who it is.

"Sorry." Steve says as he blushes.

"I thought you were the charmer, not the stalker." I say as I try to laugh.

"The hospital wouldn't let me talk to you." Steve says as he stares at me. He was waiting to see if I'm okay.

"Of course they wouldn't." I say as I shake my head.

"Did you get to see Bucky?" Steve asks.

"No." I say as I shake my head.

"For the love of freedom! Why can't anyone see him? He's my friend!" Steve shouts, I know he's getting upset.

"From what I heard..." I say as I hesitate, and Steve stares at me desperate. "Bucky, is missing." I say as I frown.

Steve stares at me blankly.

"Are you alright?" I ask a little worried.

"He can't... no... This can't happen again..." Steve says as his eyes fill with tears.

"What? What can't happen again?" I ask confused.

"Does... is he... he has to..." Steve voice starts to crack, as he tries to form words.

"What?" I ask confused. I really shouldn't push, but he isn't making any sense.

"This isn't the end of the line either! I need Bucky! He has to be alright!" Steve says as he starts to cry.

"We'll find him." I say as I rub his arm, trying to comfort him.

"I don't know, where to look! We don't know this..." Steve just shakes his head. Tears continue to run down his face.

I let out a sigh, and I offer Steve a hug.

He nods and he steps into my arms, I rub his back a little as he cries.

"He means a lot to you, doesn't he?" I say I try to calm him down.

Steve pulls away from me, and he wipes his face. "When I had nothing, I had Bucky." Steve says as he coughs, and he tries to compose himself.

"We'll find him." I say I rub Steve's arm again.

"Thank you." Steve says as he nods.

I give him a smile, and then Steve leaves.

I sigh to myself as I turn back toward my car. This was going to be harder than I thought. Poor Steve, I can't imagine how he feels. Let alone, what he must be going through right now. Where is Bucky? I can't take seeing Steve fall apart again, that poor man.

I finish unlocking my car, and then I get in. I start the car and I head for home. I honestly don't know, how I was going to help Steve… but he seems like he needs some sort of hope right now.

As I pull into my driveway, I pay close attention to my house. It doesn't seem like anyone is inside. The house just looks like it always does, empty. I don't even have any pets. I don't have any time to care for them. It hurts knowing how alone I am, but I get by.

I park my car outside of the garage. In case I get called in for an emergency. I grab my things out of the car, and I walk up to my front door. I juggle my keys in my hand, as I try to find the house key.

As I get closer to my front door, I drop my keys on the ground.

"Ugh!" I say annoyed and I bend over to grab them.

As I reach for my keys, I hear the front door open. I look up at it confused. "Did I not lock the door this morning?" I say confused. I know I've done it a few times. But only when I was in a rush, and I forgot to lock the door. But I swear, I locked it today... or at least I thought I did...

I grab my keys off of the ground, and I hesitantly walk up to my front door. I don't know anyone that could possibly hurt me. I know I haven't messed with anyone in a gang. Should I be worried?

Probably more than I am right now.

I push the door open a little further, and I peak inside my house. The lights aren't on, so it's too difficult to see anything. I shrug it off as nothing and I walk into the house. I turn to close the door behind me, when someone grabs my arm.

I gasp as I get shoved against the wall, a hand over my mouth, and another hand forcefully holding me against the wall.

"Please, don't scream... I swear, I won't hurt you! I just didn't know, where to go... I'm sorry." I hear someone whisper.

I don't recognize the voice. So it frightens me, a little more as I wonder what he wants.

"You were, the only one… who has ever been nice to me... in such a long time." I hear him say.

That's when it clicks in my mind, on who he is.
