"Adam, wake up" Kim nudged his shoulder, his phone in her hand, "your phone Adam, wake up"

He rolled over, rubbing his eyes with the back of his hand, "what time is it?" He asked his voice soft.

"Just after two" she told him, practically shoving his phone in his face.

"Ruzek?"

"Uncle Adam?" Declan said, he wanted to scream that it was a set up, the 9 mm handgun at his temple reminded him not to, "can you meet me, I need to talk to you"

Adam sat up "Declan? What's going on?" He used his finger to quiet Kim's line of questioning "where are you" he motioned for a pen and paper.

Kim quickly pulled her note pad out, ripping off the top page that had Anthony's birthday party list on it she handed it to him, she watched as he scribbled the address and tore the paper gripping it in his hand.

"Are you okay?" He asked as he quickly got dressed, sliding the paper in his back pocket

Declan winced in pain as the gun was pushed into his temple with more force, "Yea, I just need to talk"

Adam slipped his feet into his boots, "I'm on my way, be about twenty minutes"

Kim was on her knees on the bed reaching out for him, "Is he okay?"

Adam grabbed her hand, "I think so, he said he just needs to talk" he kissed her lips "I will call you" he told her, "I love you, try not to worry"

"Adam, be careful. Please" Kim watched as he left, she knew sleep would be impossible until she knew Declan was okay and Adam was back home.

Adam checked the address again, surprised that Declan would be in this part of town at this time of night, he wondered if leaving his gun at home had been wise. He looked around the building and finally found the door and tried it, only for it to be locked.

"Boss, we got company" he said as he watched Adam on the security camera, "he's alone and I don't think he's armed" he reported.

"That's fantastic, good job Declan" Johnny said patting Declan's back.

"Screw you!" Declan roared.

Adam knocked on the door, "Hey? Declan?" He called out, he could hear the lock unlatch.

Johnny kept the gun trained on Declan as he opened the door, he held his index finger to his lips reminding Declan to keep quiet.

Adam turned when the door opened, "Declan what's up?" He asked, "what the hell happened to your face kid?" His hand moving Declan's hair away from the cut on his forehead.

"I'm sorry" Declan mumbled as two men pulled Adam inside the building one of them hitting Adam with the butt of a handgun, "I'm sorry" he cried as Adam's body went limp in the hands of the two men.

"Mommy!" Anthony jumped on the bed, "Mommy wake up, I'm starving!" He yelled, he straddled Kim's waist and used his finger to lift her eyelid, "mommy, are you in there?"

Anthony's presence on her bed jolted her awake, "Anthony, where's Daddy?" She asked assuming he was already up.

Anthony climbed down from the bed, "Don't know, can I have waffles?" He asked her as he grabbed the iPad, "Harper is up too, but she can't get out of her cage" he laughed referring to her crib.

Kim looked at the alarm clock, it was after seven, "Go play buddy, I'm gonna get Harper up" she told him, "Adam where are you?" She whispered to herself.

Helen paced the living room, Declan nowhere to be found his car not in the driveway, "Charlie honey, have you seen Declan?"

"Nope!" Charlie told her, "he isn't home"

Helen grabbed her phone and called Trey.

"Hey Ma, what's up?" Trey asked, he was cramming for a mid term.

"Have you seen your brother?"

"Not in a week or so, why?"

"He didn't come home last night and I'm worried" she told him looking out the window hoping we would pull up any minute so she could kill him.

"Did you try his cell?"

"Of course I did and it goes right to voicemail"

Trey sighed, "Maybe you should call Uncle Adam" he knew it would freak her out but it was their best option.

"Yea, I guess I should"

She hung up with Trey and dialed Adam's cell, it too going right to voicemail.

Kim was in the kitchen trying to keep it together when the landline rang, she grabbed it "Adam?"

Helen groaned, "No, it's me. I take it Adam's not home?"

"No, Helen he isn't" Kim told her.

"Declan never came home last night" Helen said, "Is Adam at work?"

Kim felt her knees go weak, "Helen, Declan called here around two this morning asking Adam to meet him at some building" she raced in her room to see if she could find the notepad  coming up empty, "Adam went to find Declan and I don't think he's been home since"

Helen felt bile rise up her throat, "What could have be wrong?"

Kim knew she needed to call the intelligence unit, "Can I call you back? I need to make some calls"

"Please as soon as you know something"

Kim went to the gun safe and quickly entered the combination and pulled it open, fear filled her when she spotted both of Adam's guns, "Damn it Adam" she hated the idea of him being unarmed, her gut telling her something was terribly wrong.

"Chocolate milk!" Tyler yelled, "chocolate milk" he asked again.

"Dude, you need to chill" Jay corrected him, "and you gotta say please" he tousled his hair.

"Please daddy, please chocolate milk" this time wearing a smile.

"See? That was easy" he told his son, as he handed him the sippy cup of milk, "go play"

His phone buzzing, he pulled it from its holster, "Halstead"

"Jay it's Kim" she said trying to calm her nerves, "I think Adam is in trouble"

Jay sat down at the table, "what do you mean?"

"My nephew Declan called him very early this morning and asked him to meet him somewhere" she hated that she couldn't find the notepad Adam had written the address on, "he left and hasn't come home, and my sister in law said Declan never went home"

Jay leaned back in the chair, "Alright, try not to panic" he knew that was almost impossible.

Kim knew he needed to know everything "We think Declan has been using drugs, and Jay" she paused, "Adam left without his gun"

"Hey Detective Chuckles!" Platt hollered, "it true Lindsay's pregnant again?" She asked him, she frequently had Tyler and the Ruzek children at her house and had become an honorary aunt to them.

Jay grinned, "Yeah, she is" he told her, "I'd love to fill you in but we got a problem" he leaned on the counter, "It could be really bad"

"Just let me know if you need a patrol unit" she went back to her paperwork.

Jay pulled his notepad out, "You know what I do" he flipped through the pages, "I need to have patrol looking for a Silver Mercedes CLA250" he told her.

"Don't Adam and Kim have a silver CLA250?" She questioned him.

"They did, but when they bought that SUV they gave the Benz to Declan" he handed her the license plate number, "put out a BOLO for the car and one for Declan Burgess too" he held off on telling her about Adam, that he wanted to discuss with the unit first.

"Okay, consider it done" she said, "Is everything okay with Declan? Obviously it's not but do you know anything?"

Jay nodded, "Kim thinks he's mixed up with drugs, he hurt his knee a few weeks back and ended up on pain pills, Kim thinks he's addicted and moved on to something harder"

Trudy took her glasses off, "Shit, we really need to find who is getting all these kids hooked"

He hustled up the stairs, "Hank! We got a problem" everyone's heads turning in his direction, "I just talked to Kim, Adam's missing"

"Say that again?" A confused Hank asked, "what does that mean?"

Jay sat at his desk, "Kim's nephew Declan called Adam about two this morning, said he needed to talk to Adam, obviously Adam went to help him and he hasn't been home since" his gut was telling him that this was big.

Voight rubbed his jaw, "Alright, let's hit the bricks, someone has gotta be talking" he went into his office and grabbed his gun, "talk to your informants, Roman you go check on Kim, Halstead go with him"

"Got it Boss" Sean said following Jay down the stairs.

Jay took the driver's seat, "Lindsay says you shouldn't drive" Sean told him.

"Nice try Roman, I'm driving"

"Why are we stuck looking for some rich kid's car?" Jake Dillon asked, "Did you piss Platt off again?"

"I did not" Tonya Parker told him, "We're just the bottom rung of the ladder, meaning we get all the shit jobs" she laughed, "it could be worse it could be the dead of the winter"

"This is true" he smiled, "and I think we just found the snob's car" he pointed to the silver car, one of the few in the parking lot.

"Call it in" she told him.

"They found Declan's car, down by the pier" Mouse told Atwater and Dawson.

"Let's roll, go give it a once over" Antonio took another sip from his coffee before leaving.

"We need to find Ruzek, I'm sure Kim's a mess" Kevin told him.

"Uncle Jay!" Anthony yelled when they walked in, "Uncle Sean you're here too?" He was excited, "do you want to play video games?"

Kim smiled, "Anthony, go in the playroom, I need to talk to your uncles" she didn't want him to hear their conversation.

"You holding up alright?" Sean hugged her, "have you tried calling him?"

Kim nodded, feeling herself start to lose it, "it goes right to voicemail, I'm scared Sean" she sat on the couch, "this isn't Adam, he would have called me. Declan's been using, what if he was in trouble?"

Jay sat on the coffee table in front of her, "Don't Kim, we will figure this out. Hank's dropped everything we are going to find Adam and Declan" he patted her leg, "Why don't you call Annie or Bob"

Kim grabbed her phone, "I will"

Declan wanted to puke, they had beaten the shit out of them both, Adam still out cold in the chair. The blood was gushing from Adam's cheek, He guessed the cut was about three inches long and pretty deep.

"Uncle Adam?" He whispered, the guards having gone outside, "hey Uncle Adam!"

He could hear his name being called, his head was heavy, "Yea?" He answered slowly gaining his bearings, "what the hell?"

Declan felt relieved "I didn't want to call you, it was either call you or they would go after Charlie. I'm sorry" Declan cried, "they made me"

Adam scanned the room, his vision blurry, "where are we?" He knew it wasn't the same building he had originally went to, "you need to tell me what is going on"

"I've been selling pills for him" Declan admitted, "at my school mostly, then I started taking them" he knew Adam was angry, "I'm sorry, I know I fucked up"

"Forget it for now, how did we get here?"

"They knocked you out and blindfolded me and loaded us in a van or something" he wasn't entirely sure.

Kevin opened the glove box, "Yo, Dawson you need to see this" a ziplock bag filled with pills, "I think Declan was selling"

Antonio sat in the passenger seat, "Son of a bitch" he knew the street value of the bag's contents would be insane.

"Let's get out of this car, forensics needs to take a look at it" Antonio told him as he called Hank, "We found Burgess' car, Boss" he told him, "kid's gotta be selling"

Amy rushed inside "Kim, oh my goodness" she threw her arms around her daughter-in-law, "still nothing?"

It was now nearly noon and still nothing from Adam, "Not yet" Kim grabbed a tissue, "I'm trying to hold it together so the kids don't realize what's going on but it's getting harder"

"I'm sorry" she told her, "Bob is out looking for him, and his truck"

"Hey Kim?" Kevin called her from the front door, "We found Declan's car, but no sign of him" he sat down "Kim, he was dealing, we found pills in his car"

Kim clutched her chest, she now knew Adam could very well be in serious danger, "that must have been what he wanted to tell Adam, my god Kevin something happened"

He nodded, "We're going to find them" he hugged her, "Adam is strong, and he's smart he's got this"

Anthony joined them in the living room, "I want daddy" he demanded, Kim knew he suspected something was going on, the house crawling with people from the 21st.

"He's not here baby" it was almost impossible to look him in the eye, he was a carbon copy of his daddy.

"I want him" he jumped on the couch, "I want my daddy!"

She was saved when Annie and Derek came in, "Hey Anthony, why don't you come play basketball with me?" Derek asked.

"Yippee" Anthony's mood shifting, "I will beat you Uncle Derek"

Kim smiled, "Thank you" she wiped at her eyes, Annie opening her arms, "I'm so scared"

She patted her back, "I am too, but my brother is tough he's going to fight to get home to you and the kids"

Hours passed and the sun was dipping below the horizon, "Ruzek's truck has been found, about an hour north of here" he told them, "only his cell phone was found in the truck, they're dusting it for prints now"

---NOTE---

First off I need to apologize, somehow I mixed up Harper and Tyler's ages and made Tyler older than Harper which isn't the case, but for the sake of the story I'm running with it. I hope that's okay!

More Linstead to come and I would like to focus more on Sean Roman/Kara and Atwater and his mystery girl.
