"What's wrong?" she asked, a slight tremble in her voice, because she knew. She knew, but she was praying she was wrong. Artie sighed, and looked at his feet as he spoke.
"We- We lost Myka and Claudiaw where they are."
"How the Hell does one just Lose an agent, let alone Two!" Helena raged, pacing back and forth in Artie's office.
"Look, we have to be logical," Jessica said, attempting to keep her cool. "Where were they when they disapeared. If two agents look at the case, and two go to their last known location, then we have a shot at finding them fast." she reasoned. Artie nodded, pleased that his niece wasnt breaking down.
"Well thats the problem. You arent going to be happy with where their last known location was." he said gingerly. Jessica knit her eyebrows together.
"Why, where were they?" she asked, worry seeping into her voice. Maybe they were in, like Antarctica or something The older man sighed.
"Loveland, Colorado." he answered with a wince. Her eyebrows shot up.
"Say what!? You sent them to my home town, and you didnt think to mention it?!" she yelped, looking ready to kill her uncle. She sighed and took a deep breath. "Look I need to go to Loveland." she began. Artie opened his mouth to argue. "Artie, be reasonable. I grew up there, no one else knows the area like I do!" she reasoned.
Artie sighed.
"I know your right, I just dont want to loose you too." he said, showing a softer side that was rarely seen.
"You wont." she promised. Then she looked at the frantic woman standing behind her and added,
"Helena should come too." Again Artie opened his mouth to argue, and again Jessica continued before he could. "Artie, you know shes gonna come anyways, you may as well give her permisson to do so." Artie sighed again.
"Fine. Go! Go go go, and bring them home." he said, shepherding the two women out the umbilicus. Then he turned on Steve and Pete.
"You two have work to do."
