Chapter 13: Little Boy Lost

Vincent jumped up out of his sleep he heard Ryan screaming for him but when he awoke he saw he was still laying next to Catherine. His heart raced in his chest as he tried to calm down. Catherine felt his sudden movement and opened her eyes in worry.

"Vincent are you ok" she asked as she sat up. She suddenly realized she was naked under the blanket. She felt the towel on her lower body and then remembered why she didn't have clothes on. Just like that she forgot, damn that was some massage she briefly thought to herself.

Vincent didn't respond he stood up from the bed and walked over to the window. The sun was starting to come up as he stared out at the sky. He felt so confused Catherine told him he was in coma. Coma patients don't dream but he dreamed and not only that he had a son who was just a few minutes ago screaming his name in distress. He didn't remember dreaming about anything before he woke up all he remembers is Ryan screaming dad. Ryan's voice sounded like it had fear behind it like he needed help. While Vincent stood by the window Catherine put on a big over sized T-shirt and shorts then walked over to him putting her arms around his waist. He turned to her.

"What's wrong" she says staring up into his brown eyes.

"I don't know it's hard to explain" he answers with a sigh.

"Do you want me to take you back to the hospital?"

"No it's nothing like that. I am fine" Vincent says.

"Vincent tell me what is wrong, what happened did you have a nightmare?" she cupped his face with her hand so he would look her in the eyes.

Vincent turned away from her he didn't know what to say, he barely could explain to himself how he was feeling let alone to her. Catherine could feel Vincent pulling away from her emotionally she knew he was going through something he couldn't explain. Did all of this happen because he hit his head she thought to herself? Maybe it wasn't a good idea for him to leave the hospital. She worried something might happen to him she was going back to work today now she was wondering if that was a good idea. Knowing he was at the hospital took the load off because doctors and the nurses were right there but now that he is out earlier then he was suppose to be she worried.

"Catherine you go back to sleep I'll be ok" he said without looking her way. She took a step back but not another. She wanted Vincent to know she was here for him she grabbed his hand and pulled him with her to the bed. Vincent reluctantly followed Catherine to the bed she climbed in under the covers pulled him in to. He lay with his head on her chest as she slowly rubbed her hands through his hair. She didn't know what to do or say but she knew having your head rubbed made most people feel better so that's what she did.

Vincent relaxed as Catherine ran her fingers through his hair her touch sent chills through his entire body. He loved her more then she will ever know she did make him feel better her touch calmed him like always. He smiled thinking about how lucky he was to have someone like Catherine in his life. She knew just what he needed to calm down and she always has his back, even when he is being an ass. He looked up at her as she continued to stroke his hair she had her eyes closed but opened them when she felt him staring at her.

"Thank you" he says

"I love you" she responds kissing him on his forehead.

"I love you too" he says leaning up to kiss her lips.

"So you going to tell me what happened?" she asks

"It was Ryan" he said

"Your son from your dream?" she asks confused

"Yes he was calling out to me like he needed my help"

"Why what was happening?"

"That's the thing I don't remember dreaming about anything. All I remember is hearing his voice and then jumping out of my sleep"

"That's strange Vincent what do you think it means?"

"I don't know nothing that is happening to me lately is normal"

"Maybe this is a beast thing maybe we should see what JT has to say about it" Catherine suggested.

"Sounds like the only thing to do" he sighed

Neither Vincent nor Catherine could go back to sleep so they both went to the kitchen to make breakfast. Making breakfast with each other turned out to be very enjoyable Catherine made eggs while Vincent made pancakes. Catherine had plenty of fruit at her house so they both seductively fed each other fruit while they cooked goofing around and laughing. Grapes, strawberries, oranges, bananas and watermelon whatever fruit they could find they would feed each other one and then kiss or lick the juices off each other's lips. Their kisses got so heated and passionate they almost burned their pancakes getting lost in each other. There perfectly sexy breakfast was interrupted by Heather who was packing and getting ready to go back to Miami to be with her fiancé. It was bittersweet for Vincent when Catherine had to leave to go to work she left earlier than usual to drop Heather off at the airport. Vincent didn't want Catherine to leave the image of her being killed was still fresh in his mind. Vincent knew he had to let her go but that wasn't going to stop him from going to wherever she was to check on her.

Vincent made his way over to JT's place as usual JT was more than happy to take some of Vincent blood and analyze it to see what he could find. He found nothing unusual from his constantly mutating DNA. He told JT about hearing Ryan calling for him he didn't understand why he continued to dream about someone who isn't real.

"You sure you and your doctor didn't miss anything on your x-rays because this all sounds like it's in your head" JT says lightly knocking on his head.

Vincent smirked at his best friends joke. "Of course we both checked she even got a second opinion for another doctor to make sure"

Since JT had no idea what was going on with Vincent he felt like he had no other choice but to just let it go. It was all in his mind so he left it as just that a memory. Vincent left JT's and went home to his boat house he felt like he hadn't been there in a long time. Everything was just as he left it yet it still felt different.

Catherine had just got back to her desk after just coming from a crime scene with Tess. She laid her head on her desk her stomach had been feeling queasy since she got to work.

"Ugh! That breakfast I had with Vincent must have been bad" she says into her arm.

"You both can't cook if you food poisoned yourselves" Tess chuckled.

"I'll be right back" Catherine felt the need to puke so she stood up and ran off to the restroom.

She barely made it into the bathroom stall of the woman's restroom as she started puking her guts out. She was in the bathroom at least ten minutes before she was finally able to stop the dry heaving that came after she puked all of her breakfast. By the time Catherine got back to her desk she was started to feel a little better. Tess was kind enough to sit a bottle of water on her desk she smiled at her partner who was on her cell. She gave Catherine a smirk as she hung up the phone.

"What? why are you smiling like that?"

"Are you sure you are sick from breakfast cause I just talked to JT and he told me Vincent just left and he was fine"

Catherine frowned "well maybe it's something I ate yesterday. Heather and I had sushi after I came from the hospital"

"Are you sure you're not pregnant?" she asked

"No, no that's not possible I always use protection. Well except a week ago but that's not possible I wouldn't have symptoms this soon" Catherine reasoned.

"Ok I had to ask" Tess says taking her word for.

Catherine suddenly realized she didn't get her last period she pulled out her cell phone and check her calendar. She was definitely a week and a half late. With all the craziness that had been going on for the last few weeks with Vincent as a fugitive and Gabe terrorizing everyone she completely forgot about it. Before she could even panic Catherine's phone on her desk rang.

"Detective you have a visitor" an officer from the front desk told her.

"Who is it?" she asks

"A little boy he specifically asked for you" she says

Catherine frowns. "a little boy?"

"Yes he looks to be about six or seven he won't tell me his name just asked to speak to only you"

"Ok I'll be out there in a sec" she hangs up the phone and look over at Tess who is giving her a what was that about look.

"Some little boy is here to see me, he asked specifically for me" she frowns again still confused.

Tess chuckles "I am definitely tagging along for this" she says she follows Cat out to the front desk.

Catherine cautiously made her way to the front desk of the precinct immediately she spots a little boy around six or seven year's old sitting in a chair waiting patiently for her. He had olive skin, brown haired he had under is fitted hat he had on a hoodie and jeans that were starting to look like there were too small for him. His light brown eyes lit up when he saw her. Catherine saw he had a black eye and frowned she was so confused right now she never seen this boy before how did he know her and why was he wondering around with no parents.

He stands up and walks over to her "can you take me to my dad"

"Who is your dad?" Catherine asks him.

Tess looks on confused as well.

"I don't know his name" he says quietly.

Catherine frowns "what is your name?" she says

"Ryan" Catherine's eyes widen as she gasped. It can't be she thought calm down Catherine this is definitely coincidental she tries to rationalize herself.

"Come with me" she says as she takes his hand in hers "CPS" Catherine mouths to Tess who nods and walks ahead of her to call child protective services. Catherine walks him to her desk and sits him in a chair next to hers.

"Ryan how did you get here? Did someone bring you?" she asks him.

"No I walked" he says

Catherine's stomach started to feel queasy again but she fought it off. "Where do you live?" she asks.

"With my foster parents" he says

"What happened to your eye?"

"The other foster kids beat me up" he says sadly.

"Why?"

He shrugged he shoulders "I am the littlest, they always pick on me"

Catherine could feel her heartbreaking he was the cutest little boy ever she could tell he was really sweet. Already she was feeling the need to protect him.

"What did your foster parents do?"

"Nothing"

"Why not?"

"The other kids lied they said I fell. My foster parents didn't believe me they believe them"

"I'm sorry" Catherine says patting his hand.

Tess who has been listening to whole time mouths that CPS is on their way to Cat.

"Do you know why my dad hasn't he come for me?" he asks Catherine.

"Ryan I don't think I know your dad" she says confused.

"You do. You said you would take me to him"

"When?"

"I don't remember but I saw you"

"How do you know he is your dad if you don't know his name?"

"Because I saw him he saw me"

Catherine looked over at Tess and sighed. She didn't understand what was going on or why this little boy came to her. She didn't understand why he thinks she knows his dad.

"Well if he saw you why didn't he take you with him?"

"Because he lost me"

"Ryan I don't understand" Catherine says.

A social worker from CPS comes walking in all three of them knew who she was she had been Ryan social worker for years and worked with Cat and Tess a couple of times on cases involving children.

Once Ryan sees her his mouth drops in shock.

"Hello detectives" she says greeting both Tess and Cat "Ryan what are you doing here?"

"Susan nice to see you again" Tess says greeting her.

"Why did you call her? She doesn't ever bring me to my dad she doesn't know him. You do detective Chandler" Ryan says almost pleads.

Catherine looks on confused "I don't know how he knows me or who he is referring to"

"Detective Chandler do you mind if I talk to you privately" Susan asks

"Sure" Catherine responds hesitantly

"I'll take Ryan to get something from the vending machine" Tess says. Ryan gets up and follows Tess.

"Catherine I am sorry about that I am not sure why Ryan is saying these things but is biological parents are dead. They died a few years ago"

Catherine put her hand up to her heart hearing such bad news "so why does he think I know his dad?"

"That is one thing I don't understand. Ryan could have been adopted three times and each time Ryan turns them down. I've been trying to get Ryan out of the foster home he is in now because most of the boys are older they bully and pick on him. People willing to taking foster kids has gotten low over the years so it's been a challenge"

"Ryan was given a black eye by one of the older boys, did you know about that?"

"Yes Ryan called me not tell me about it but to find out who you were" she frowns

"Me?" Catherine asks "I've never seen or met Ryan before I don't understand how he knows me"

"I don't know either but he mentioned you and some guy he keep saying you know the guy who is suppose to be his dad" she sighs.

Catherine's thoughts went to Vincent but she wasn't going to say anything about him. After all the craziness she and Vincent went through she definitely knew better. She got chills just thinking about how Ryan and Vincent might be connected somehow.

Tess came walking in with Ryan who had a pack of M&Ms in his hand he had a smile on his face.

"Ryan we need to go now I am going to take you back to the office and find you an emergency placement"

Ryan's smile immediately changed to a frown, and then tears started to stain his eyes. "But she is suppose to take me to my dad"

"Ryan you don't have a dad, she doesn't know you. Now we have to get going" she says as she grabs his hand. He looked at Catherine his eyes pleading with her to help him. She didn't know how she didn't know what to do. She watched as him and Susan walked away and she could hear his light sobs as they grow faint.

"Cat what was that about" Tess asked a she stared at her best friend who looked to be torn.

"I don't know but I have a feeling that he and Vincent are somehow connected"

Tess mouth drops as she makes the connection "that Ryan? No Way!" she says covering her mouth.

Later that evening Vincent was at his boat house finishing up cooking when he got a phone call from Catherine.

"Hey" says into the phone

"Vincent I am on my way over we need to talk" she says

"Is everything alright?"

"Yes... Sort of I will explain when I get there"

"Ok" Vincent says confused as he hung up the phone.

Catherine came walking in ten minutes later just as Vincent set plates down at the table. Vincent had made an easy Chicken Alfredo and he was starving but he waited on Catherine keeping the food warm. Vincent listened to her faster than normal heartbeat along with that extra humming sound be been waiting to figure out.

"Hey smells good in here" she smiled as she hugged him and kissed him on the lips.

"I made alfredo" he smirks

She smiled as he guided her over to the table and she sat down and served herself some of the alfredo.

"Vincent the weirdest thing happened to me today or do you already know?" she smirked knowing he checked on her a few times today.

"I didn't eavesdrop on your conversations so I don't know anything I only followed you to a crime scene and checked in on you at the precinct" Vincent says as he places a fork full of Alfredo into his mouth.

"Well a kid came to the precinct looking for me"

Vincent looked up at her "did you know him"

"No and the weird thing is he knew me. He kept saying I knew his dad, he said his name was Ryan" Catherine says looking at him to see his reaction.

Vincent looked at her in shock "wait, what!"

"Yes I was shocked too I don't know if it is a coincidence but something in my gut tells me you two are connected somehow"

"Why do you say that?"

"It was the way he said what he said. He told me I knew his dad that he saw me with him. He said that I told him I would take him to his dad but I never met him"

Vincent's eyes went wide "in my dream you did meet Ryan you told him that you would take him to me"

Catherine stared back at him wide eyed too "you see that is what makes me think you both are connected I remembered you telling me that. But I don't understand if you dreamed this how can he know about it?"

Vincent was at a loss for words, finally he says "is there some way I can talk to him?"

"You sure you want to do that?"

"Yes Catherine I am not in hiding anymore I have to know"

"He got taken by CPS earlier his social worker is looking for emergency placement for him. He was bullied at his other foster home"

Vincent stood up "let's go" he says walking towards the door.

"Vincent it's getting late CPS is probably about to close soon."

" Well call that social worker ask her can I talk to him"

"Vincent"

"Catherine I have to know"

Catherine took out her cell and scrolled to Susan's cell number.

"Susan this detective Chandler do you have the number to were you placed Ryan"

"Actually he is still at the office with me having a hard time placing him. I may have to take him to a group home"

"Is it ok if I talk to him?"

"Ms. Chandler what is this about?"

"I think Ryan may know a friend of mines I wanted to ask him some questions"

"I thought you said you never met Ryan?"

"I haven't but I think that's how he knows of me because he knows a friend of mines"

"Hold on a second" she says as she goes to get Ryan.

Vincent who had been listening to the conversation the whole time gets up and grabs Catherine's hand along the way to the door.

"Let's go we have to get him" he says Catherine follows with her cell still to her ear as she and Vincent make their way to her car.

It took a while before Ryan came to the phone Catherine guessed he was in another room where they kept the kids at.

"Detective Chandler did you find my dad?" Ryan says into the phone.

"Ryan hey I am working on it I wanted to ask you something. Where did you see me at?"

"I don't remember you said you would take me to see my dad if I untied you. You were kidnapped" Ryan laughs "I don't remember what happened after that I couldn't see you anymore"

Vincent looked over at Catherine as both of them were speechless at the moment. Vincent didn't know what to say he was in shock he didn't understand how all this could be happening nothing made sense.

Catherine finally spoke "Ryan tell Susan that I am on the way to come talk to her"

"Are you taking me to my new dad?"

"I will try" she says her heart was beating so fast.

Vincent and Catherine were both silent for a few minutes before either of them could speak again.

"Vincent this is the craziest thing that has ever happened in my life"

Vincent sighed "mines to, it use to be Murfield but this… this is beyond that. This is just bizarre"

Vincent and Catherine run up the stairs to the child protective services building and up to the front desk asking for Susan. She was expecting them so the lady at the front desk sent them right back. Vincent and Catherine walked through the many hallways till they made it to Susan's office near the back.

"Catherine I am surprised to see you again after earlier" she says meeting them at her office door and looking over at Vincent.

"This is Vincent my boyfriend we think he knows Ryan" Catherine says.

Ryan came running down the hallway towards Catherine and Vincent.

"That's him, that's him!" Ryan shouted.

Vincent's mouth dropped it was Ryan but how? Ryan leaped into Vincent's arms.

"Detective what is going on?" Susan asks. She was also confused.

Catherine smiled seeing the reunion but shrugged her shoulders at Susan even she didn't know how to explain this one.
