Catch Me If You Can

Chapter 13 Protect

Rogers walked into Roni's after receiving an SOS text message from her, slightly confused that everything seemed fine. He approached the bar.

"I got your text. What's going on?" He asked. Roni gestured for him to walk around the bar, so he did. He looked down at Kassidy sitting on the floor holding a phone to her ear

"Pick up. pick up. pick up.." She mumbled and then sighed out of frustration and shook the phone.

"Your phone is broken!" She yelled at Roni and quickly punched in a phone number and held it to her ear again

"Pick up Will.." She muttered.

"What is she doing?" Rogers asked.

"I don't know. She got a call from Will about 20 minutes ago and she's been like this since." Roni sighed. "What ever he said to her on the phone wasn't good, because she has been a total spaz."

"Okay, so why did you call me?" Rogers asked "You know her more than I do."

"Yeah I do, but you have a way of getting through to her. and I kind of need my phone back." Roni said. Rogers sighed and crouched down to Kassidy as she was raising the phone to her ear again. He put his hand over it and lowered it.

"I don't think he's picking up love." he said.

"He has to. He can't just call like that." Kassidy said.

"What did he say?" Rogers asked.

"I don't know. he kept breaking up something about Seattle, and danger and then he said he had to go and I heard someone yelling and then the phone went dead. What if something happened to him?" She asked and stood up panicking and pacing the phone started ringing in her hands She answered it.

"Will?!" She asked. and then sighed. "You want a cheeseburger go to McDonalds!" She spat in the phone and hung up. Roni gave Rogers a 'Do something' Look.

"Kassidy, why don't you give me the phone number Will used to call the bar, and then you and I can go to the station and try to trace it to see where he may have been calling from. Yea?" He had handled hostage situations before, so talking Kassidy Cole out of a panic attack seemed easy enough.

"Well what if he calls?" Kassidy asked.

"Then I will call you, Go with Rogers, it will help more than standing here screaming at my call in customers." Roni said. Kassidy nodded.

"Okay." She said and handed Roni back the phone. 

Kassidy rolled a pen back and forth between her hands on Detective Rogers desk while he was trying to trace where the phone call came from.

"Stop fidgeting." Rogers sighed and took the pen away.

"Did you find anything?" Kassidy asked.

"No, its only been 5 minutes since the last time you asked." Rogers said.

"Oh." Kassidy sighed and tapped her fingers on the desk.

"Bloody hell.." Rogers muttered and looked up at Kassidy. "I understand you are anxious, and you are worried but I need to focus. Why don't you go and get some coffee from the Lounge?"

"Sure." Kassidy said and stood up. "You want some?" She asked.

"Please." He smiled. Kassidy walked away to go and get the coffee. Rogers continued trying to trace the number and finally got a ping.

"Son of a bitch.." He muttered and put the coordinates in his phone and stood up. Kassidy walked back into his office with the coffee

"Hey. Where are you going?" She asked.
