I'm so sorry this took so long to get out. Life has been crazy. I wish I had done more with this chapter, but I hope you enjoy it all the same.

Eliot started to take a step towards the street, but the van was clearly too far ahead. He'd never be able to catch it. He pulled the earbud out of his pocket and put it back in, "Hardison."

There was a swallowing sound, followed by, "Yeah, yeah I'm here."

Eliot rolled his eyes, "I need you to track that black van. I need its movements now."

"Hold on a minute. I ain't got GPS on it." There was silence for a minute, "Okay, I've got it. I'll send the map to your phone. It should keep tracking, but I'm using security cameras and stuff, so if it goes to far out of town..." Hardison trailed off.

Eliot pulled his phone from his pocket and looked at the map, "Got it." He turned back towards Xavier. Juliet was already by his side, her arms wrapped around him. The Chief and several officers were coming down the stairs. Eliot walked over and put a hand on Juliet's shoulder.

She looked up and saw the Chief coming. Pulling Xavier and herself up, she grasped his shoulders, "I want you to go wait inside, okay? I'll be inside in a minute."

Xavier's face was pale, and tears were beginning to form in his eyes, but he nodded and dragged himself up the stairs into the building.

"What happened?" the Chief demanded as she reached the bottom of the steps.

Juliet tried to take a deep breath, but she began to cry before she could get a word out.

Eliot put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it gently, "Andi was kidnapped." Eliot turned slightly and pointed in the direction the van had gone, "Black van took off that way just as I came outside."

The Chief nodded, "Did you get a license plate number?"

Eliot hesitated. He did, in fact, have the license plate number. It was the same van that had been outside Shawn's house. However, he didn't know how long it would take them to do anything with that number. By the time they got anything with it, Andi and the van could be long gone. They might not even be able to do anything with the number.

But, right now, he had a map in his pocket, a map that could lead them right to Andi, and possibly Shawn. If he gave that to the Chief, it could help them find Andi sooner. But, it could raise a lot of questions about where he had gotten it. Deciding it was worth the risk, Eliot pulled his phone out and handed it to the Chief, "Here. This is a map of the van's location. It should still be going, but it'll stop if the van gets too far outside the city."

The Chief took the phone with a questioning look, but she didn't stop to ask questions. Instead, she turned to the other officers and started to give them instructions on tracking and following the van with Eliot's intel.

Eliot turned around to see Juliet with tears streaming down her face. She was staring blankly ahead, covering her mouth with her hand. Eliot walked over and put a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at him and collapsed against his shoulder. She broke out sobbing, her body shaking. Eliot just held her. He knew she had been through a lot.

After a minute, she seemed to regain her control and straightened up. She smiled sadly at Eliot, "Thank you."

Eliot just nodded before following her into the station. He was surprised that she had thanked him. He had been in charge of keeping Andi and Xavier safe. He should have realized sooner what was going on. He quickly made his way to where Xavier was sitting. There was no way he was going to let the same thing happen to Xavier. And there was absolutely nothing that was going to keep him from getting back Andi and Shawn.

Five hours (and twenty-three minutes, fifty-one seconds) earlier

Shawn leaned back in his chair. The Psych office was very quiet now that Gus was gone. Shawn really hated quiet. He could turn on some music, or TV. But he was probably going to be heading home shortly.

Gus had left quite a while ago since they didn't seem to be getting anywhere on their case. Shawn had tried to convince him that he was on the verge of an "ah-ha" moment. But, despite trying to bribe him with the promise of jerk-chicken, Gus had bailed out.

Shawn straightened up and leaned on his desk. He pulled out his phone and checked the time. Dang. It was later than he had thought. He'd promised Jules he'd be home by now. Oh well, he would be a little late. It wasn't like that never happened.

He'd lost track of time, which happened regularly. He'd really been pushing his mind to the limit on this one. He just had to get this one right. He wasn't sure why, but this case had managed to wedge itself under his skin.

He stood up and started to collect his things. In his mind, he went back over the details of the case. Nothing seemed to add up. The bank robbery seemed to go fine. The guys got away with the loot. Only one of them was seen. But being seen didn't necessarily seem like a reason for being killed. If anything, it was a reason to skip town. So why didn't they? Why did they hang around?

Shawn slipped his jacket on and shoved his phone into his back pocket. He paused for a second. Was that a car engine? Before he could go to check, the office phone rang. He grabbed it and answered, but hung up when he realized it was automated call. He put the phone back and grabbed his keys.

He headed out and closed the door behind him. He started to make his way to his car, but stopped and turned back. He forgot to lock the door, which both Gus and Jules had been on his case about for years. He slipped his key into the lock and turned it. He pulled the key out and turned back to the car. He felt a sharp pain in the back of his head before everything went black.

So, I don't that that was worth the wait, but I hope it was enough to bide you over until the next chapter, which I will try and make super awesome. Thank you for reading. It you'd like to, I would love to hear your opinion on it. So, please review. Thanks.
