I've Seen 2

Saving her from herself

A/N: If you've ever seen "CSI", Grissom would be Tim and Lady Heather would be Kalene in this scene 😉 😉 😉 This is exactly how Tim finds Kalene and Ted (and what I was trying to, probably horribly, describe)

Tim was a pissed off ball of energy. His mind was racing. His heart was aching. He wanted to fight. Not anyone, just the sorry bastard who took his daughter. 'I'll teach him to mess with a Foust!' he growled making Austin look at him funny. They were at the airport waiting on their flight to Dallas to be called. The bass man was pacing in front of the row of seating they were all occupying.

"Tim? Calm down, man." Rob calmly stated.

"Calm down? CALM DOWN? Do you know what that freak could be doing to her right now?!" Tim shouted making other patrons look at him strangely, "My daughter is with some weirdo who looks at her as some possession and you WANT ME TO FUCKING CALM DOWN?"

"We're all aware of the possibilities, Tim. Genesis is a strong young woman. She is her mother's child, after all. If anyone can make it through, it'll be Gen." Adam tried to calm the irritated bass down.

"Kelsey, Ericha, Sami, and Georgia are meeting us in Dallas. They all want to help with the search. Tim, I need you to think. Where do you think she'd go?" Luke stated.

"Who?" He furrowed his brows.

"Kalene. Where would she go to look for her daughter." Luke asked.

"Their hometown. Where Kalene grew up. What was the name? Uh...Greenville. Small little town about an hour east of Dallas." Tim replied.

"Think you remember the places she showed you while you three were out that day?" Chance inquired.

"I...I don't know. I hope so." Tim ran his hand over his face, "You might want to have the label lawyers on stand-by Luke. I'm probably going to need bail money."

"No, no, no. You will let the authorities handle everything. Dead Memories and Rachel are still in Dallas with Shinedown. The headliners will be leaving tomorrow morning but promised to pick Dead Memories back up when Genesis was back and able to play." Luke explained.

"Able to play..." Tim plopped down in an empty chair and put his head in his hands.

"Now, Tim. I'm sure she's perfectly fine. You have to stay positive." Austin stated.

"All I can think about is what he may be doing to her right now. What Kalene is going to do to him if she gets her hands on him before I do." Tim retorted.

"You mean before the authorities do, Tim." Luke corrected.

"No. I meant what I said."

Adam and Austin chuckled earning a stern look from their manager.

"Timothy, I meant it when I said you need to leave things to the authorities. We're just going to help look for her. You hear me?" Luke shook his finger at the bass man.

"She's my daughter, Luke." Tim growled in his lower octave, "You better hope the authorities find him before I do."

Tim stood up and headed to the men's room leaving a stunned group behind. He'd never gotten forceful or aggressive with them before. They all knew he was stressed. They knew how much he cared for Genesis. To see him in such a state was strange. 'He's such a father!' Adam mused to himself. Luke didn't want to upset the bass man but he didn't want his friend to have a record either.

As Tim was returning, their fly was being called. The group stood in line to await their turn with their tickets in hand. Although Luke urged everyone to get some sleep, everyone knew Tim would be up all night thinking about the situation. Nate had long since finished packing up the merch table and was in his bunk. Normally he'd have at least one message from Genesis. Either a "we're about to the stage, ttyl" or an actual message. Tonight he had nothing.
