A couple days, fine. A week. Two even. NO problem. But this was getting ridiculous. He wasn't answering his phone, he hadn't come by her lab just because though it was an old habit of his, he was officially avoiding her.

"That's me." She considered his offer. "I think I know where he is." In general anyway. "I'll go on my own but I could use some back up. Give me forty eight hours. If you haven't heard from me call the local police."

Billy nodded. He didn't like the idea that her going by herself since, presumably, this is what Jack did as well. However, he also got the sense he couldn't stop her.
