I was getting ready for work when Mia walked into my room still in her pjs. She sat down on the bed with her legs crossed. I looked at her and smiled then asked, "Are you sure you don't want to go to school today?"
"Yeah, I not ready for all the pity and questions people will ask me." She told me
I walked over to the bed and wrapped her in my arms. I gave her a kiss on the head and then said, "I'm just a phone call away if you need anything today and you can always call you dad, grandpa, or your uncles if you need anything too."
"I know mom, I'll be fine for a day. Just focus on chasing this guy and don't worry about me okay." She told me
"I will always worry about you kid. It's my job." I said then got up to finish getting ready
She sat there until there was a knock at the front door. She got up and ran to answer it.
"Mia, who's at the door?" I yelled
I didn't get an answer so I walked out and saw that it was Gabe.

When I heard a knock on the door. I got up and ran to the door thinking that it's my dad, but when I opened the door it was Gabe.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him
"I was going to come by and see if you would let me drive you to school." He said shyly
"Sorry you had to drive all the way here, but I'm not going to school today." I told him
"Are you okay?" He asked sound concerned
"I'm fine. I just didn't want to deal with people asking a lot of questions right now." I told him
I ran my hand through my hair and then looked at him and said, "You should probably get to school you don't want to keep your friends waiting."
"Mia, don't be like that. Can I at least get your homework for you and bring it to you after I get done with practice?" He asked
"Sure, why not. But you really have to go." I told him
I was about to close the door when he grabbed my hand. I looked at him confused but before I could say anything he pulled me into a hug and gave me a kiss on the forehead.
"You know you're making it really hard to be mad at you. You know, that right?" I said into his hoodie
"I know, but I told you last night that I was going to show you that I do care about you and I do want to be with you." He whispered into my ear
I slowly push him away then said, "Really you have to go or you'll be late."
"Alright, but text me if you need anything alright and I'll be over later with your homework." He said then left
I closed the door and leaned against it with my head on the door. I heard mom my clear her throat.
"Not a word." I told her with my back still turned to her
"I have to say, he is very determined to be with you." She said anyways
"Mom! You're not helping." I stated to her
I turned around and walked into the kitchen to get some coffee. I sat on the stool and put my hands through my hair and said, "I'm going back to bed."
I heard her laugh as I took my coffee and went into my room.

After Mia walked back into her room. I just shook my head and called Jay. "Hey, are you almost here?"
"Yeah, I just pulled up. Did I just see Gabe leave in his car?" He asked me
"Yeah, he was just here talking to Mia." I told him while I was getting my shoes on.
"I'll be down in a minute." I said then hung up
I walked into Mia's room and walked in. I saw her sleeping so I gave her a kiss on the head then left. I got outside and I saw Jay. I got into the car and grabbed my coffee from the cup holder.
"So, why was Gabe here?" He asked me
"I guess he wanted to take Mia to school, but she didn't want to go and I understand why. She didn't want to answer thousands of questions people were going to ask her." I stated
"Ahh, well I would have to say he is determined." He said
"You have no idea, let's just say that after he left. Mia was so stressed she took her cup of coffee and went back to sleep." I told him with a smile
We rode the rest of the way to the precinct with small talk about the case. When we got to the precinct we walked through the gate up into the office and start at our desks. Mostly everyone was there. We all started on looking for clues and evidence to find out how attacked Mia and the second victim. Rollins and I were going over security footage when we saw something.
"Voight, I think we got something?" I yelled
He walked out of his office with Liv and came over to my desk. There was a video of the second victim getting attacked. We were all just waiting to see the guys face to run it through facial recognition to get an ID. When we finally got a face we then ran it through the data base. When the results can in, we found that we were looking for a Thomas Johnson.
"Alright, let's go pick up him." Voight said to everyone
We all head down to garage and gear up. Jay helps me with my vest and I help him. He gives my shoulder a squeeze once he was done. We got into the 300 and of course I was driving. We followed Voight to the address. When we got there, Voight split us into three groups. Jay, Rollin, and I went to the back and Al, Fin, and Voight went through the front and Benson, Nick, Antonio, and Ruzek went to check the perimeter. It took us about ten minutes to clear the house. When we determined that he wasn't anywhere on the property, we start looking through the house of any signs of where he might be.
"Hey, I think I found something?" Ruzek yelled from the basement
We all went to the basement and saw a wall filled with pictures of his victims.
"He has been stalking each of his victims for weeks before he decides to attack them." Jay says
I saw multiple pictures of Mia, some were when she was at practice, there was one of us at the mall from last weekend, and her in the park. I just shake my head and switched back into detective mode to try and find the next victim.
