I shot him an incredulous look.  "Why would they risk their futures by missing soccer practices and exams!?" 

He held his hands up in a helpless gesture.  "Hey, some teens don't think about consequences." 

Danielle's mother stood up, "Well not these teens.  Have we done everything we need to?" 

He looked up at her with a sigh, "Yes, I'll get back to you soon."  With that he showed himself to the door without even a glance of remorse, or anything. 

                 Sarah's POV

It had been 5 days since the girls were missing, we still hadn't heard anything.  We had to go to drastic measures.  Our neighbor told us about her neice and how they solve special cases.  Without hesitation we each bought plane tickets to Virginia, which was where this "BAU" team was located.

We were on our way now.  Minutes from the place.  Wyatt stared straight ahead, not taking in our surroundings or anything.  On the plane ride he barely spoke but the minium of words.  His elbow was placed on the door and he was holding his head up.  His expression said Determined. 

My mom shared a similar expression as she drove.  We finally pulled into the lot and threw our doors open.  We raced across the black top and ran into a building with the name Behavorial Analysis Unit.  After rushing inside we were greeted by a desk,

"How may I help?"  A blonde, with a gray suit asked.

"Uh.."  My mom looked at us, and we motioned for her to continue, "My daughter and her two friends were kidnapped." 

The woman didn't look fazed by it.  Which made anger boil up inside me.  When she finally did glance up she muttered,

"I guess you can go in. I'll jus--" 

"We want to see J.J."  My mother demanded. 

The woman looked with a questioning glance but said, "Go on in, I'll page her." 

As Wyatt and I started for the door my mom stopped us, "I'm sorry but I think I should do this alone."

Wyatt and I exchanged looks, no way in hell were we missing this!  This is about my sister!  My sweet sister, I'd feel wrong not going in there.  But then I looked at my moms face and I thought back to a few years ago.  She had to do this on her own.

"Okay, we'll be waiting."  Wyatt stared at me in disbelief and when he started to argue I clutched his hand and found the nearest seat.  Which unforntunely was an uncomfortable, plastic one. 

"What the heck!?"  Wyatt yelled when my mother left.  "Why'd you do that!  Didn't you think for one second that they're are sisters and not just her daughter." 

"Of course I did Wyatt.  But my mother needs to do this on her own.  You wouldn't understand."  I murmered.

Wyatt glanced at me and for the first time in my life, Wyatt's beautiful eyes were filled with tears.  I looked down and saw his hand trembling.  For a second I just stared at him, when the first tear fell I grabbed him and hugged him.  He started sobbing in my arms.  I could feel with shoulder become wet with salty tears but I didn't mind. 

When the sobbing finally ended and it was just his labored breath I wiped my thumb across his tear stained cheeks. 

                 Wyatts POV

I'm not sure what happened in those last few seconds, all I remembered was tears brimming my eyes, and then looking at Sarah and seeing sadness, not pity, but sadness.  The next second I was in her arms crying my eyes out.  Only for moment did I think, Shouldn't this be the other way around?  Except I knew that this was the way things were.  Sarah is strong, and she will always be strong.  Sarah, next to her sister, had to be one of the bravest girls I'd ever met.  And I think that's why I had opened up to her. 

When I finally took my head from her shoulder, and she wiped the tears from my face I said through the labored breathing, "I did so much for Lilith to make sure she never went around thinking no one loved her.  Just because our parents weren't around that often that she'd always have someone.  I tried so hard to be a parent figure, but also a brother.  And to think someone could have taken her or she could be ki-k--killed.  Makes me feel like a failure.  It makes me want to be sick." 

I looked up to Sarah waiting for her to say something about her sister and her feelings, but all she did was nod.

"And I do know, you know.  I think everyone does"  I said softly.  She nodded again, slowly. 

"You know my dad left.  He left me, my sister and mother to fend for ourselves.  My mother fell into a depression.  She loved that man.  I still remember the way her face would light up the moment his car lights brightened the garage door."  A tight smile stretched across her face.

When she finally looked up she whispered, "I can't do it to her again.  Have her lose another person she loves.  She takes medication, sure but that can't completely take away the gaping hole in her heart that was once occupied by Danielle."  My expression was wiped clean.  Danielle also realized what she said because she tried to fix it. 

"That's not what I meant.  They're still here Wyatt, I'm sorry.  I didn't mean to use past tense."  She searched my face for any sign of hate, but I knew she couldn't find any.

"It's fine."  I smiled while brushing a a curl from her face.  I held the strand of hair for a second.  Then I saw Sarah.  It was only at that moment I realized how gorgeous she was.  All these years she was just Lilith's friend's sister, but it was only in these few days I finally knew her.  She was sweet, brave, and caring. 

"What?"  She murmured as a blush started rise on her already rosy cheeks. 

Without truly thinking I stated, "Your beautiful."  Her blush deepened and she turned away.  She looked back one more time behind her wall of brown curls before picking up a magazine.
