"Jamie!" Matt called as he walked into the Common Room where everyone was. After thinking about what Gabby had said, a little father and son time didn't sound bad at all. Jamie slid out of the chair he was sitting in between Cruz and Brett and ran over and threw his arms around his fathers neck. "Monkey i know i seemed a little off today but-"

"Dad i don't care. All that matters is that you're here." he whispered into Matt's shoulder as he pulled his father in tight.

Matt stood up, taking Jamie with him, a smile on his face. "Alright," he started. "Who told him." he tried to hide his light giggle, the one that told only Jamie that he was messing with the guys.

"What do you mean lieutenant?" Herrmann asked, his tone a little unsure.

"Who told Jamie about the call we last had?" he asked, his eyes scanning the room. Everyone looked around to see who would answer Casey's question. There was a brief moment of awkwardness before Kelly stood up. "I told him."

Casey put Jamie down and walked over to him, lowering his eyebrows into a frown. "Why would you do that, i thought i-"

Kelly raised his eyebrows in shock and put his hands up in surrender. "Matt i-"

"Kelly im messing with ya. He needed to know and i'm glad it was you that told him." Casey said as he put his hand on his friends shoulder and smiled. "You're the kinda uncle Jamie needs."

Kelly smiled a proud smile. "Thanks Matt, Really."

"Gabby you need to calm down. You know we're gunna catch him." Jessica said as she tried to make Gabby stand still.

"Yeah, we've got enough info now and we have time stamps for the surveillance cams here, we're gunna get him." Collins agreed.

Gabby stopped and ran her hands through her hair, she took a deep breath. "I know but he was standing right there. He was right in front of me and i just stood there like an idiot!"

"Come on you're not an idiot!" Jess exclaimed as she pulled her in for a hug. "There's nothing you could've done and Gabby truthfully, its been a long day for you. Go back to the house and Collins and I will deal with the rest of the paperwork. I'm guessing we'll see you in Molly's later."

"Yeah thanks and i dunno. It depends on if Matt wants to go."

"Bring Jamie along so you can come. He's nearly ten now right?" Collins suggested with a smile.

"Yeah i can't believe he his." Gabby said turning on her phone and looking at the picture of Matt, Jamie and herself and smiled. "You know what, I'll see you both at Molly's, Jamie can come."

"That's the spirit. I'll see ya later Hun." Jess finished as she began to follow Collins across the parking lot back to their car.

Gabby watched them leave before she climbed into Casey's truck. She pulled on her seat belt, shut the door and jammed the key into the ignition. The engine choked and spluttered, must be the cold, she said to herself. She tried again. No change. Damnit! She climbed out and slammed the door before she pulled out her phone and punched in Casey's number, after a few rings he picked up.
