Ali had this bad feeling that she was being watched. She thought she was just paranoid because Hope is looking into Ash. She only had two patients today. One at 1:00 and another at 4:00. It's only 8:00 am right now, she doesn't know why she came in so early. Instead of continuing to overthink she gets a head start on the paperwork. It's 1:30 and her patient, Jack, is never late to his lessons. Right then and there there's a knock. "Come in. Hi Jack, I thought you forgot about our lesson today. Who is this?" She asked looking at the other man he had brought with him. He looks so familiar, but she doesn't know where from. 

     "He's a friend," Jack says smiling.

     "Oh, Ok well should we-." She stopped died in her sentence when she saw the other pull out a gun and then someone she knows walks into the room.
     "Come with us now." He says with a harsh voice.
     "A-Ash?" Ali asks shaking.
     "Hi, baby doll." He says with a wicked grin grabbing her arm.

     "Get away from me. HELP?" But before she could say anything else she's hit in the head and everything goes black.

     She wakes up to realize she's been tied up to a chair. She has a rag in her mouth that makes her mouth feel as if she's been in the desert. She looks around the place she's in and it's cold and dark looking like an old building. She doesn't understand what happened. It's not like she's much value, can't bargain her for money or something like that. She has and lives a normal life, why would she be kidnapped and what did Ash have to do with it?

     "She's wake," Jack says. She also doesn't understand how he fits into this and feels stupid that she didn't see right through him the first day he came into her office. 
     Ali could see the smile on Ash's face. She started to panic and tried to move, but the ropes around her were too tight. When Ash got close she screamed, "Get away," but it was muffled in the rag.

     "What did you say baby doll?" He asks removing the rag from her mouth. She just glares quietly at him. "I asked you a question." He says angrily.

     "What's your point? I don't have to answer you're sorry ass." She states, but then he smacks her across her cheek.

      "Don't you ever talk to me like that again!" He says pleased with himself that when he hit her that it busted her lip. He likes seeing her bleed.

 She stays quiet but spits the blood out towards him, it lands on his shoe much to her liking. This time he punches her and she blacks out again.

    "Hey, did you recover that photo?" Hope asks looking over his shoulder to see his computer.

     "I literally just got to my desk," Ryan says looking at her as he grabs his keyboard to type in something in. He's better at the computer stuff, which is why she wanted him to do it not her.

     "Sorry, I just want to see the paper of what he looks like, I've got this gut feeling. " She says backing up a bit to give him some space.

     "Its fine, but give me a few minutes. "

     "Agent Hope." Her chief says getting her attention.

     "Coming sir." She says a little worried.

     "I didn't say anything," Ryan says glancing at her. She quickly walks over to his office.

     "Yes, sir," Hope says stepping through the door.

     "Would you be able to organize my office and the file room." Hopes lets out a little air.

     "Umm, sure?" She asks confused but so relieved.

     "I know you can organize good, and well it's a mess back there. I know you have things to get done, but I'd really appercate it."

     "Oh, Ok, sure. When do you want me to start?" She asks looking around his office to see it really is a mess.

     "If you could do my office first that would be great, I know you don't have a case right now so I figured it worked out perfectly."
     "Right now? Oh. Ok. Is there anything you don't want going or is there a certain way you want it organized?"

     "No, I went through everything. Everything that's in here I want to keep and there is no certain way I want it. I just want it organized."
     "Ok. I'll get started then." That's not something you here your boss ask every day. She begins wanting to get it done quickly and figure out if Ryan's done with the picture. After about 45mins she was done with his office.

     "I'm done, sir." She says fixing her hair in a ponytail. Her hair was falling out because of how quick she was going and how worried she is about the picture.

     "Already?"

     "Yes."

     "Ok thank you can you go and organize the file room?"

     "Yes on my way now," Hope says going straight to the file room. She can ask Ryan if he finished the picture because it's right on the way. She doesn't see him at his desk and sighs continuing on and into the room. When she enters the file room she stopped and sighs. The room had papers everywhere from what feels like the b.c. time to now. How do people find anything in here? She questions. The last time she was in here, it wasn't this bad.

     After what felt like 5 hours, it was only 2 and a half hours, she was done. She told her boss and he said a simple "Thank you." She went to Ryan to see if he was done, but he was helping in another case. Dammit. She went to his computer needing to know who the person is. She typed in 3 different passwords that she knew he had used, but none of them worked. When did he change his password? She tried other ones, but they all failed. She realized Ryan was next to her with his eyebrow raised.
     "Whatcha doin'?" He asks with an amused face.

     "Trying to see all your secrets," Hope says sarcastically.

     "Oh really, didn't know you wanted to know."

     "Ha, Ha, Ha, not funny, when did you change your password?" Hope asks getting out of his chair so he could log in.

     "I didn't."

     "Yes you did, I couldn't get in."

     "No."

     "Yes."

     "No."
     "Yes! Because I couldn't get in." She says annoyed, she couldn't forget his stupid little password.

     "No, it's still Ryan/Friend." He says smiling because he knew she forgot to capitalize the r and the f.

     "That's what I did."

     "But did you capitalize-"

     "Oh ya, I forgot about that part." She hits her forehead and shakes her head.

     "I'm waiting."

     "For what?" Hope asks looking at him confused.

     "For an apology."
     "You're going to be waiting a long time because I'm not giving you one." She smiles.

     "Yeah, I thought that was coming." He says logging into his computer.

     "This is the picture." He says leaning away so she could get a better look.

     "Amanda was right it does say Mitch Lee Jonhson, but who is that?"

     "Let me do a background check on him." They don't have to wait long when the address comes up. "He lives at 31 Maple Drive. "
     "I'm going."

     "You can't, you don't even know who he is." He says concerned. She doesn't know what she's getting in and has no legal back up, but her friends are involved, she has to do something.

     "I have to figure this out." She says with determination in her eyes.

     "Why?"

     "Because he hurt two of my friends and he's not going to get off that easily."

     "Fine, but I'm coming with," Ryan says standing up from his chair.

     "How have those self-defense classes been going?" She asks laughing a little. Again, he's more of the tech person. He's not a fighter.

     "Great, thank you very much." He glares.
