Things were going crazy.
Everyone was so confused and nothing was making any sense anymore. Jones was acting strange, Van was furious at everything, Shancus was overly confused along with everyone else in the department, Sasori was desperate with worry and Itachi was trying to solve everything. It was enough to drive someone crazy. Perfect.
The thought of no one finding out the truth was enough to cause a smile to spread on the tanned face, earning a soft but sad laugh from the young boy who was standing on the edge of the bridge staring out at the water as the wind blew around him, causing his hair to whip across his face, his deep blue eyes glowing with innocence, and pain.
'Forgive me un.'

'This is crazy'

A long sigh came from the captain as he ran a hand through his hair, his eyes drifting away from the window which he had been staring at and instead looked at Van. The brunette man sighed as well. He didn't like the situation any more then his friend did. Tearing his eyes away from the others he grabbed the file resting on his lap and tossed it to the other to read, even though he was going to verbally describe it, he knew his captain liked detail so the report would help.

'Sir the girls were found at a local paint store, they were in the back of a sitting car. Their hands were tied by rope and they had blindfolds on. The ropes were rather loose so who ever tied them was in a hurry, and the girls were out when we found them. After taking them to the hospital the doctor informed us the only things wrong was they were a bit dirty from where ever they had been and a tad dehydrated.'
'There was no marks on them?'
'No sir. The ropes didn't even leave a mark with how loose they were. No signs of abuse, physical or sexual.'

the captain scratched the top of his scale lightly, a soft frown on his face. This made no sense at all. Nothing was wrong at all and the girls were fine. Who the hell took them then, and why? He voiced this to Van who gave unsure eyes and a shake of the head.

'No idea.'
'And Deidara?'

The two men stared at each other and the captain opened his mouth to speak but Van cut him off, slamming his fist on the desk, cause the other to jump.

'He IS alive! I'm not giving up!'

The captain stared at his friend with a bit of shock, and then gave a gentle smile. There was no arguing with Van when he got this way, so why should he try? With a soft sigh and smile he faint nodded his head, arguing only to one more week. Van couldn't help but smile. A week was enough time for him.

A soft growl escaped from Flame as he stared at the message on his phone. A text, the girls were found by the police. Glaring at the phone it slipped from his hands as he slammed his other fist into the wall, causing dirt to fly into the musky air of the shack. Things were not going as planned.

Flame stayed still for a moment, and then his whole body relaxed. His hands fell to his sides and his head lowered. He was never going to win, not with Jones around. The boy bit his lip and let out a shaky breath. He made a promise and he had to keep it, but which promise should he keep?

To save Deidara or to keep Jones from his past?

Flame swore long ago, on the day they parted that he would never drag Jones back into the live he was leaving and if he came close he would protect him from his past. Now the man had to make a decision. He cursed and gripped his hair in his fists. This was so hard, it was almost enough to break the man. With a sigh he pulled himself together and walked off, heading for a much needed rest.

'Deidara'

A worried look was painted across the redheads face as he stared up at the clouds. He was laying on the roof of the shack, a soft sigh escaping him as his eyes slid shut, winching slightly whe he heard the bang down stairs. He was pissed again, great. The boy gently rubbed his temples, a groan as he did.

That dumbass thought he had it hard?! What about him! He was the one who had to worry everyday whether or not his best friend who he finally admitted to himself he loved was dead or not! Itachi wouldn't even let him see hi
, all he wanted was to see him once, to make sure he was alright.

He closed his eyes and let his memories take over his mind. Memories of Deidara. The way he moved to elegantly no matter where he was or what he was doing. His carefree smile that lit up even the darkest of days. How when ever it would rain Deidara would force Sasori to come with him and would dance in the rain. His long hair, soft a silk and with a shine unlike any other. His bright cerulean eyes that were always filled his so much emotion, so much life.

The thought of losing that stabbed Sasori a hundred times. What if he ever got to hear that laugh again? His cute accent, the way he called him danna or even watch him pull another childish prank just to see his eyes sparkle with child-like innocence. To imagine those beautiful eyes dark and empty, like death had stole away the fire within him, it was enough to drive him crazy.

Sasori layed there in utter silence, a soft tear rolling down his pale cheek.

Blue eyes stared at the small objects on his bed. The headset and pocket watch. Jones gave a light sigh, his eyes falling closed. He wasn't even sure why he had them, but after he left the hospital he couldn't help the urge to just try and use the headset. He wasn't sure why, after all the ones with the other headphones were bound to have gotten rid of theirs. He sighed and stared at the headset, the urge to make the call was over whelming.

Finally his curiosity got the best of him and he grabbed the headset, placing it on top of his head, it still fit snugly odd enough, and placed the Mic near his mouth, flipping the switch on. The small light on the antenna turned on and started flashing a bright blue. There was a scratchy noise as it turned on. He took a shaky breath and finally uttered a gentle hello, then after a moment said hello much bolder. Still nothing. He sighed and gently shook his head, unable to believe how foolish he was being. He grabbed the set and was about to pull it off his head when he heard a soft noise. He froze, listening again.

Hello un?
