Review: Z awoke in the infirmary to the faces of her teammates. Upon realizing that the man form the square was back in the area she decided to split town and hoped that he did not harm any of her friends but she had to make a stop at a place that she remembered from her childhood.

She had asked the commander for the rest of the day off and was granted. Her friends had seen that something was off with her; even Kat noticed it as well and they had all hoped that the commander would shed some light, but he dodged it and the alarm went off alerting the rangers that their peace was over and that Grumm was once again attacking. The rangers went to deal with the new threat while Doggie and Kat tried to get ahold of Z only to figure out that she had left her communicator at the command center and that Kat had to go and find her while Doggie went out to help the rangers.

Doggie POV

I should have seen it sooner that the today's events were pushing Z away from us. Then when she did not explain when she requested the rest of today off should have clued me into what she was planning. I should have known that she was going to run.

"Rangers I am coming to help you. Kat has gone to look for Miss Delgado."

"Commander is everything alright with Z?"

"What happened to Z that Kat had to go and look for her?"

"Did something happened to her?"

"Darn it I should have stopped her."

Last comment had everyone off-balance.

"What do you mean Jack that you should have stopped her?"

"It has to do with today's date right?"

"Yes."

"This is the date that her parents died, first it was her father then a few years later her mother. For as long as I known Z she was always acting weird on this day. Though I can not think of why Kat would be looking for her."

I arrived in time to help the rangers defeat the latest monster who turned out to be another cry baby then I turned to the rangers and told them why Kat was looking for Z.

"What she is going to run? Why?" Syd asked.

"She is afraid of something. It was in her eyes when I went to go and talk to her."

"Yes there is something troubling her deeply."

Kat POV

When Doggie left I went to go get RIC to help me locate Z. I knew that it was a long shot but I was not taking any chances that I would not find her. I also knew that RIC and Z had a special bond that I could not explain. All that I knew was that RIC claimed Z as his just like he claimed me.

I tried to think of all of the places where Z liked to hang out on her day's off and it was not much. She never went anywhere so I decided to look for some clues from where Z fainted earlier.

Lucky it was easy to get ahold of owner for the description of the man who was yelling.

"Doggie I think that we have a huge problem."

"What is it Kat?"

"He is back just as we feared and I still don't have clue as to where to look for Z. I even have RIC with me to help but I am not going to lie and say that there is a very good chance that we will find Z. If we take her upbringing into the picture."

"Kat this is Jack. I can only think of one location as to where Z might have gone."

"Where? Please Jack this is important."

"The house that she used to live in when she was a child."

"But that place was destroyed by a fire years ago."

"She still go there. You remember the old saying that when the chicks are lost they return home."

"Why would she keep going back there? That makes no sense." Syd said.

"Please meet us at that location Kat. I just hope that I am right and that Z is there." Jack said.

"I will and I also hope that you are right."

I left and met the rangers near the house that Z grew up in, I saw that the rangers were really worried but we did not see any sign of Z.

I saw that RIC was acting hyper in one location so we went over there and saw that there were a ton of flowers neatly arrange under a window.

"Bridge what do you see with the aurora?"

"She was here then she left. Also she feels like she is in true danger and wants to hide where she thinks that she will be safe."

"Do you know how long we missed her?"

"No I am sorry."

"Don't be, at least this way we know where to start searching."

Z POV

I knew that the team would start looking for me, and I did not want anyone to get hurt. I also knew that there was no where that I can go to be safe from him. I would never forget the day that he killed my mother in front of me. I still dream about it. I left some flowers for my mom but this time I made certain not to go to my usual location. I knew that is where everyone would look for first. I just hope that I get a good distance ahead of everyone and him for a while. Please don't let him find me.

I remember those awful words that were uttered after my mom was murdered: Your next, soon you will follow your dear parents and SPD won't know what to do for a member will be dead. Come out come out where ever you are hiding.

I knew then that I was not safe, but I could not go to the police and tell them. They would never have believed me and more then likely told me to not waste their time. I had to get away, and I did at night when no one was watching the house when I saw someone coming up to the door. I did not know who it was nor was I going to make a sound in case he came back to finish the job.

That is when I heard a noise it sounded as if it came from that person. "Doggie I think that you better send a squad over here to the Delgado's place."

"No everything is not alright. Mrs. Delgado is dead from what I can see from the window and as for the child there is no sign of her so far."

"Alright I will keep looking and please hurry with the squad. It looks like the killer could still be in the area."

"Kat out."

No I have got to stop thinking about that, it won't save me now and I can never return to the SPD. I am sorry my friends but I don't know what to do maybe if I sleep I will think of something.

Kat POV

It had been years since I was here last at the Delgado residence and I saw that the rest of the team were shocked that Z came from here near the coast.

"Doggie do you remember what happened all those years ago when I called from here."

"Yes I do and I think that it is time to fill the rangers in."

"Agreed."

"Rangers what I am about to tell you must not leave this circle."

"Yes sir." said all four rangers.

"The house that you all saw was where Miss. Delgado's mother was murdered when Kat went on her routine check up on the family she saw that Miss. Delgado's mother was dead but she was unable to locate Miss. Delgado. We found the killer but he managed to elude us for several days then he slipped through our custody. This is why it is important that we find Miss. Delgado."

"It is so sad that Z held onto this secret for so long with no one to share it with. No wonder she wakes up covered in sweat. She remembers what happened to her mother." Syd said.

"I never knew that she saw her mother killed. I never knew." Jack said.

"I think that it time that we look hard for Z. She must feel so alone right now and there is no telling how long it will be before the man who murdered her mother strikes at Z." I said.

RIC started to bark loud enough that we all went over and saw a little nest just big enough to for one person.

Bridge took off one of his gloves and confirmed that it was Z that was sleeping there but there was another person who kidnapped Z.

I asked him if he could describe the other person and to my worst fear it fit the man who killed Z's mother.

"Doggie what are we going to do?"

"Don't worry we will find her Kat. I won't fail her father or her mother. We won't let him kill her as her parents."

To Be Continued.
