She dreamed of studying his body, and kissing all of his parts in different physical locations, Sometimes they were in her bedroom, sometimes his, sometimes in public places. Now, in reality she was kissing him in a bathroom close to a sink, and toilet, but she was kissing him. Her heart dropped suddenly when she realized that he wasn't kissing back. Her lips left his, and she pulled herself away at lighting speed. "Rafa, I'm so sorry." She backed away from him.

"Liv, '' he was able to say, before he was interrupted by the loud ringing of his cell phone, "Hello", he answered, much louder than he wanted to. He walked quickly out of the bathroom. leaving Olivia alone in the bathroom, and he hated himself for it.

"Barba," Fin answered. "We couldn't find him."

"What do you mean you couldn't find him?" He said quietly, his anger still evident in his voice, as he made his way to the couch. "I don't want to hear

that!"

"Calm down Barba, I know. I went to the house of his office assistant. She told me that Dr. Taylor hadn't shown in weeks. She said a lot of people are mad at him, including her, because he was supposed to be filling in for Dr. Lee."

"Dr. Lee still isn't back? Speak to her."

" I'm trying to locate her, I made some calls. I showed up at Dr. Taylor's residence. I spoke to his landlord. She says she doesn't know where he is.. One day he just left out of the blue. I checked,counselor, the doctor wasn't there."

"Find him, Fin." Barba replied, in his toughest prosecutor voice. Without another word, he hung up his cell phone. As he walked to a kitchen counter to place the phone on it's charger, he heard Olivia's footsteps returning to her room, and closing the door.

Rafael sat on the couch unaware of how much time had passed, since Olivia's lips had touched his, and Fin's phone call. He was nursing his first scotch of the night, the truth was he wanted to drown in it. His front door suddenly creaked open, he got up from the couch, and placed his drink down. His heart was pounding in his chest. Seconds later, his green eyes focused on the face of his mother. "Rafi, are you OK?"

"No, mami. I'm an ass."

"A real ass would never call himself an ass." Lucia replied, now watching her son sip a scotch. "How many have you had?"

"Only this one. but that can be easily remedied."

"Olivia needs you."

"She told me what happened to her", he almost whispered.

"Good. The person who hurt her was the man she was dating?"

"Yes." He answered, bitterly. "She thought he could give her a white picket fence. He hurt her!" Fin better find him before I do."

"I know you're angry, but you're not that kind of man."

Rafael sighed, and rose from his seat with his drink in his hand. He took a big gulp of it, and the liquid was gone. He moved to the kitchen, and washed the glass. "Don't wait up."

"Where are you going?" Lucia asked, alarmed.

"I'm going to find the prick." He said, moving to the front door.

Lucia ran to her son, and touched his arm. "No. Rafi. What good would that do Olivia?"

"He wouldn't be on the streets! He wouldn't hurt anyone again!"
