   Summary

   Tim and Lucy don’t vanish without leaving something behind. They don’t get taken easily. They don’t walk away from their lives, their jobs, their family, or Kojo.

   And yet, they’re gone.

   -

   After Tim and Lucy are kidnapped, they end up in a place they never expected, working for none other than Heath Everett for survival. Post S8 finale Chenford fic, somewhat speculative of S9.
