Hazel rose eyes gazed out at the sky as it turned from ink black into an series of colors. A faint smile spread across the small boys pale face. Sunrises were beautiful especially when he watched them with someone he cared about, though sadly today he was alone as he sat on the roof to a small house. The redhead missed Deidara greatly and he deeply hated the mess they were in. It wasn't right that his precious blonde was dragged into this crap.

It was his entire fault. If Deidara got hurt due to his stupidity he would never forgive himself nor Itachi since it was his bright idea that got them in an even deeper hell. Not to mention the ever 'warm-hearted' Flame dragged JJ into this when he knew JJ swore never to do anything involving the old gang. Sighing he stood and ran a hand through his unmanageable hair. He had to talk to Flame.

After a long car ride to the station Jones and Van were peacefully relaxing in Van's office, both relaxed in a chair with a mug of coffee. The blonde stared thoughtfully at his partner. He had clearly noticed Van's odd behavior but felt something were left unsaid.

'Van you alright? You've been in a daze for the past few days.....'
'.....I'm stressed'

Jones stared at his partner and gave a warm smile, offering to swap his shift which was indeed shorter. Van stared at the boy and almost hugged him. That warm smile was what helped Van get through the day, but lately he felt as if Jones was loosing the thing that made him well him, but to see the smile now filled him joy. Jones was quite an innocent boy, not having seen much horrors of the world like Van had.

Though Van had no idea the thoughts that went on behind his smile which was one reason why he partially feared and respected the boy. He was very crafty and sly, which was quite a good thing when on a case, but made him worried about having young Shancus track him. That though reminded Van of his lost of trust towards his partner and the man inwardly winched. He hated not being able to fully trust Jones but it was a precaution.

'I'm fine Jones. Why don't you head home? Visit your mother for once!'
'Pfft, Fine if you don't want me here!'

His carefree smile grew a bit as he stood and snatched up his coat. Van merely rolled his eyes and chuckled light at the boys reaction.

'Give your mother my regards'
'Ya ya I'm not giving you her number'
'I don't want it ya lil' punk!!'

With a last wave the blonde left the office then the station. Van's smile slowly faded and he grabbed his radio, switching to a station that wasn't used.

'Shancus, he's heading home'
'....Sir I still don't like this.....but I wont back out. I'll radio the moment anything sees suspicious'
'Thanks kid I owe ya'
'You bet ya do!'

With a simple roll of the eyes he clicked off the radio.

'FLAME!!!'

From his spot on the old battered couch the boy lifted his head and gazed at the small redhead before him then gave a soft sigh. Seeing the other was quite an unpleasant thing because he always was scolded and or yelled at

'Leave JJ out of this mess or else"

"Why should I?"

'Cause if you don't it will lead to trouble for all of us!"

The male stared up at his partner with a raised eyebrow. Did the redhead really think he gave a crap about the others? He was greatly mistaken if he did. Not breaking the eye contact with the smaller boy he stood and crossed hi arms. His eyes gave a defiant look that Sasori returned, causing a small glaring match.

"Sasori, why must you always go against me?"

"Because you fool! You know you can't just kidnap people!"

"And you can't just give away information about Deidara's parents like that"

Sasori took a sharp breath then glared. The other was right and it highly pissed him off, he hated it when Flame was right. Turning his back to the other he started to walk away towards the door, no longer able to stay in the same room as him.

"Sasori, eventually their going to look into this what will we do if they find out the truth?"

"…..I won't let them. Deidara's been hurt too many times, I wont let them hurt him as well. Not now, not ever."

With those last words he walked from the small beat up apartment that the other resided in. Flame gave a faint smirk as he lend against the door frame, watching the other walk down the road. He never knew why, but pissing Sasori off always amused him. Turning back inside he used his foot to close the door and gently sighed. It was time to go visit his captives.

Files were stacked up on Vans desk, almost towering over the brunette. Glancing at the stack he sighed and gently shook his head. This wasn't the best way to find information but it was the only way the department had at the moment. Lending back in his chair the man casually flipped through files, his eyes scanning over the information written there, hoping to find something about Deidara's parents that would help them find his mother.

Opening up their financial records from their bank the man could only raise a brow. They were quite loaded, though it was expected since the mother was a nurse at a hospital and the father was a lawyer. Though, they surely had their ups and downs with cash. Van sighed as he realized how thick the file was. It was dated all the way back to Deidara's grandparents. This fact made Van a bit curious, since they usually didn't stick in all in one file. Plus the page on the grandparents was in a different style print then the one on the parents. Van's mind dwelled on this fact for a moment as he flipped towards the back.

He casually gazed over the records of the last few months, when something fell out of the back of the file and to his feet. As he bent down to pick it up the parents records fell out as well and landed next to the first few pages which were Deidara's bank account. Before he picked them up his eyes gazed over the pages and the man froze.

"….the hell??......."

Picked up the pages and holding them together to compare his eyes widened a bit and Van realized there was some evidence they over looked. He quickly ripped his radio off his belt and turned to his captain's channel.

"Captain, I have something you'd like to see. I think we made a mistake, a big one"
