"Kevin!" Addison cried out in horror, in the middle of the night.

"What?" he opened his eyes and quickly ran to the corridor.

"Betsy's gone! She just... she's not in the house, she's gone!"

"Is her stuff here?"

"Yeah, I think..."

"Then she isn't gone, she's just out. Okay, stay calm Addison, and try call her." he disappeared in the bedroom to get dressed.

"She doesn't answer!" she exclaimed.

"Okay. I'll go to Compton again. Alright? If she isn't there, I'll call the others and ask them to help me find her. You stay here in case she shows up, okay?" he put his hands on her shoulders, trying to reassure her with his firm look.

She nodded tearfully, sniffing.

"Good." Kevin kissed her forehead, he then walked down the stairs and left the house, feeling a lot more upset than he let his fiancée intend.

He drove calmly, without surpassing any speed limit. He had to keep himself together, but on the other hand he knew the kind of people Betsey hung out with, and he'd never trust them. He took a mental note to keep a stricter eye on his girl, from the moment he'd find her. If he found her. Now, his thoughts were becoming irrational. He suddenly understood how it was to be a parent.

Addison couldn't let go of the phone. After putting some comfortable clothes on and making some coffee, she tried to call Betsy constantly, but each time there was no answer. The cellphone was off, or there wasn't line.

She also couldn't stop pacing. Her heart was beating so fast that it almost hurt, despite the fact that she knew, deep inside, that Betsey was safe, and only trying to anger them. The simple thought of not knowing where she was and with who, or of ignoring what she was doing, freaked her out.

She tried calling her for the nth time, and again she couldn't reach the girl. She jumped slightly when, a few second later, she heard the phone ring.

"Hello?"

"Dr. Montgomery, I'm calling from St. Ambrose."

Oh God, no.

"On of your patients is having vaginal bleeding and needs surgery urgently. We need you asap."

As the other woman talked, Addison took a big sigh of relief. "I'm sorry, I can't come. I have some personal problems right now..."

"Dr, she already fainted three times. Her blood pressure is very low; we really need you here."

"Okay. Okay." Addison closed her eyes for a moment. "I'll be there asap."

I had to go to the hospital. Urgent, no choice.

Kevin read Addison's message and hit the wheel in frustration. He had looked everywhere, but Betsy was nowhere to be found. All the places he knew she could be at were desert or she wasn't there.

He took his phone. "Hey Cooper." he told him when he answered. "It's Kevin. I have a problem, Betsy is missing. I'm looking for her but I need your help... could you come?"

"Sure." Cooper agreed, concerned. "I'll call Pete."

Addison was running to the OR, listening to her own footsteps on the lucid floor.

She scrubbed in quickly, adrenaline. She realized that doing something concrete might help her.

She gasped when she saw the patient. No, she thought. "That's Melinda Rogers." she stated. "Was there a girl with her? A brunette girl? If yes, please go get her and take her to the gallery. Now."

As a nurse exited the OR, the woman finally concentrated on Melinda, knowing she had to save her life.

She walked slowly to the gallery, feeling the weariness surround her.

She sat beside Betsy and held her tightly on her chest. "Are you okay?"

"Is Melinda okay?"

"Yes." she nodded.

"Then I'm okay too."

"You scared us."

"I know, I'm really sorry."

"But why didn't you call me, if Melinda was in pain? You knew I could help her."

Betsy merely shrugged, wiping the tears away. "She texted me saying 'come over quickly', but I didn't think she was hurting. Her house is close to the hospital so..."

"How did you get here?"

Betsy closed her eyes, resting her head on Addison's shoulder. "Don't ask questions you don't want to hear the answer to."

"Why?" she asked instead, alarmed.

"We were alone at the house, and Mel was bleeding a lot. I had to drive here. Don't freak out. I won't say it's not a big deal, because I know it actually is, but don't freak out."

The woman pulled away and put a hand under the teen's chin to make their eyes meet, and looking at her in slight shock.

"At this very second I'm too tired to yell or even scold you. But we are gonna discuss it tomorrow, alright? Now I need to call Kevin, and after that we can go home."

A/N: I miss Kevin. Well, anyway Betsy is finally coming around a little! And I changed Melanie's name to Melinda. It had to be Melinda from the start, but then I changed my mind halfway through the first chapter. Now, I changed my mind again.
