WHO: Lena and Jamie
WHAT: Well that's suspicious
WHEN: Thursday morning
WHERE: Their apartment
WARNINGS: Language?

Lena slammed the phone down, her heard pounding in her throat. "JAMIE!" she called out, knowing he was in his room getting ready for a day of classes. The plan had been that Lena was going to accompany him to the SVA campus and hang around until home time, but it seemed like things just might be about to change. "JAMIE!"

The phone was already back in her hands and she tried to press in Thomas' mobile number while her fingers shook. Oh god, oh god, what if he didn't answer? What if he was missing?!

"Lena?" Nikkie asked, confused at the panic in her friend's voice. Then what she was saying really started to sink in. "Oh god," she said. "Yes, of course, hang on, I'll get him for you."

She went into Anthony's inner office, handing him the handset. "It's Lena," she told him. "Thomas is missing, and they need your help."

Anthony had the phone to his ear almost before she'd finished speaking. "Lena? It's Anthony."

	"Hi, sir...er. Hi...Anth- Saint...hi. Thomas is gone. And I know we just had you find Jamie, but could you come over and help us find Thomas? Please? This keeps happening and I'm freaking out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Just Anthony is fine," he said gently. "And finding lost people is pretty much my main gig, it's not a problem. Are you at the same place I came to last time?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No," Lena said, feeling hysterical. She couldn't even think. "Uhm...fuck. Jamie, I can't even remember the address." She grabbed a random piece of mail and rattled it off for him from that. "I'm sorry. I'll make coffee or something." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Anthony wrote down the address, tucking the paper into his coat pocket. "I'll be there soon," he promised. "Would you like me to bring Nikkie along? She hasn't stopped hovering since she handed me the phone, and I know you two are friends." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yesplease," Lena breathed before she hung up the phone.

"Nikkie and Anthony are coming," she said, moving to put her hands on Jamie's shoulders. "I'm going to make coffee. Jamie, I need you to tell me how you are, okay? Tell me how you really are." She was freaking out, but she could still do her job and take care of him unless, of course, he hid everything away.

	Nikkie and Anthony were out the door and in a cab less than five minutes after they hung up. "Considering Dad's missing, possibly at the hands of demons, and I'm not a sobbing mess on the floor, I'd like to think I'm doing pretty good," Jamie answered. "Although the obvious answer is: I am so far from alright, alright is in another dimension." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"But do you want to be a sobbing mess on the floor, Jamie? Because it would be okay," she assured him. She worried sometimes that he never showed how much things got to him. "Come here," she said, pulling him in to a tight hug. "Anthony will find him." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"But what would it accomplish?" Jamie asked, hugging her tightly and feeling a few tears slip out. "It's not gonna help Anthony find him, and it'll just give me a headache and make me feel worse."

A pounding erupted on the door at that moment, and Jamie went to open it. Anthony and another woman he assumed was Nikkie were standing on the other side, and he stood aside to let them in. "Thanks for coming," he said. "Come on in, Lena's this way."

"Letting it out is important though," she said, but she was hardly going to push. Especially right now. He was crying anyway, and when she leaned back, she wiped at his tears and kissed his forehead, feeling more like his mother than she had well...ever.

When Anthony and Nikkie arrived, Lena ran to bury herself in her friend's arms. "Oh thank you for coming," she said into Nikkie's shoulder. "What o you need, Anthony?"

	Nikkie wrapped her up in a tight hug. "Of course we'd come," she told Lena. "Whatever you need." "Something that belongs to him," Anthony answered. "A piece of jewelry, a photograph, the more personal, the better." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Lean released Nikki with a little squeeze, because a friendly face was so good right now. "I can't remember if you've met my step-son, Jamie, Nikkie. Jamie, this is Nikkie. She's dating Joey and she's super awesome."

Lena darted into the bedroom she shared with Thomas and then returned, carrying Jamie's baby photo album. "This is Thomas' favourite thing. He told me it was the only material thing he would ever grab in a fire because he would never want to lose it."

Nikkie managed a smile for Jamie. "I don't think I have, but it's nice to meet you, Jamie. I only wish it was under better circumstances."

"Same here," Jamie said. "Nice to meet you, Nikkie."

Anthony took the album from her gently. "That sounds like just the thing," he said. "I promise to be careful with it." He pulled a city map out of his pocket and spread it over the dining room table. "So it begins."

Nikkie rolled her eyes, smiling slightly. "I told you to stop saying that, Saruman."

	Lena went to the coffee maker to fetch some coffee for Anthony and while she did so, she said a quick prayer under her breath. Thomas needed to be found. He just did. (Reply to this) (Parent)
