The ride to the precinct was quiet. Sarah kept her hand on Sidney's shoulder the whole way there. She wanted her sister to know that she believed her and she was there for her. When they got back Kincaid escorted them to his office.

"Do you have any vending machines around here? Or food in general?" asked Sarah.

Kincaid looks up from his desk, "Why you hungry?"

"Yes and pregnant. So I need to eat," she deadpans.

Kincaid freezes for a minute, "They took the vending machine out but if you write down what you want I'll send someone out to get it for you."

Sarah and Cole write down their order and thirty minutes later she's happily munching on a burger and fries while she watches the awkward flirtation thing going on between Kincaid and Sidney.

"Look at them," she nudges Cole, "Its like a train wreck, you want to look away but its physically impossible."

Cole snorts, "Leave her alone Sar. She deserves to be happy."

"I know but does she have to pick detective douche over there?"

"He's not that bad," Cole pauses, "besides she could do a lot worse."

Sarah looks at him, "I don't like the fact that he didn't believe her and I sure as hell don't like the way he was treating Dewey."

"Just give him a chance Sar. He's got to be under a lot of pressure."

Kincaid stands, "I'm off to search the set. I believe what you saw was real. That's the good news."

"There's bad news?" asked Sarah.

"No it just means that we're dealing with an ordinary flesh and blood killer."

Sarah snorts, "As apposed to what? Casper the friendly ghost?"

He ignores her, "I know how to handle guys like that."

"Oh yeah?" asks Sid, "How?"

"Catch him or kill him."

Sidney asks, "Detective what's your favorite scary movie?"

He walks back over to her and leans down close, "My life."

As he leaves Sid whispers, "Mine too."

Sarah looks at her sister, "OOH! Sid's got a crush!"

Sidney rolls her eyes, "Shut up Sar. Eat your burger."

Sarah just laughs and does as she says. They finish off their food and just sit around waiting on some semblance of news. Sidney is sitting at Kincaid's desk looking at a book of some kind while Sarah and Cole are whispering back and forth about the baby and what they expect it to be.

All of a sudden Sidney picks up a blue file and starts going through it.

Sarah notices her sisters change in demeanor, "Sid everything okay?"

"He's got a file on us. Why would he have a file on us?"

Cole and Sarah get up and walk over to her. They look through it until Sidney's Cell rings.

"Hello? Who is this?"

She pauses, "Um, who's calling?"

"Gale, Dewey whoever this is call me back. I can only hear myself," she goes to hang up then Sarah can see her sister tense up.

She looks through the window at the cops, "Who is this?"

Sarah and Cole share a look, "Sid tell someone."

Suddenly Sidney jumps up and moves toward the door but stops suddenly. She shuts the door to the office and stands there.

"How do I know their voices are-" she stops.

Sarah looks at Cole with fear plastered on her face.

"You're dead," Sid states.

Cole just grabs Sarah and pulls her close. They hear officers looking for Kincaid when Sid asks, "Where," she pauses before asking again, "Where?"

She hangs up, "Shit! Shit!"

"What is it Sidney?"

"He's got Dewey and Gale at Milton's house. He wants us there."

Cole looks at Sarah, "I want you to stay here."

She shook her head, "No. No way. Neither of you are going without me."

He went to argue but Sarah stopped him, "If you're so worried I'll put on one of these bullet proof vests under my shirt. It'll be okay."

Sidney grabs the keys off of Kincaid's partners desk and they go back into Kincaid's office and going through his desk and finding a gun.

Cole looked at the sisters, "When we get there I want you two to stay behind me at all times."

"He said he would call with more instructions when we get there," Sid said.

"I don't care," he said.

They sneak out of the precinct and head to Milton's house. The whole way there Sarah prays that nothing will happen to her friends, sister, husband, but most importantly that nothing happens to her baby.
