Kian went back to working at Holby that Monday. It was still desk work, so he could hide any withdrawal symptoms. 

Soon, it was a gray and dull Saturday. Her and Farrah were home and Kian had gone to Holby to finish up some paperwork.

Haley found the empty pill bottle while digging around for cleaning supplies. She looked at it and her heart broke.

Kian. Her heart screamed. She was so angry. Angry with him for doing this. Angry at him for lying to her. Angry with the fates for taking her baby.
Kian said he stopped. All the pain of the last few months came flooding back. She wasn't sure what she was thinking, but all she wanted to do was leave. Forget their whole life together.

"Farrah, you're going to Auntie Jac's to play with Emma. Daddy will pick you up." She said softly, calling a cab to pick them up.

Kian came home, limping on his leg brace. He saw the note on the kitchen table next to the empty bottle.

"You lied. I'm sorry."

The fear he felt not that many years ago came back. Where was Haley and Farrah?

His phone rang; it was Jac.

"Kian, something odd has happened. Haley dropped Farrah off here. She looked like she was in a daze."

"She's not with me.... What do you mean?"

"Just get over here."

Kian drove to Jac's house.

"Get in here." Jac said, standing outside with her arms crossed.

He went inside.
"Where's Farrah?" He asked.

"She's playing with Emma. Haley didn't even have a car; they just showed up on the doorstep. She said you were still using.....were you? And don't you dare lie to me! Haley's my friend too!"

"Was.... I only stopped a few days ago."

"You idiot!" Jac said. "How could you? You buried yourself in your own pain instead of being strong for Haley! You've let her down, Kian." Jac uttered. Her words stung. "You've let me down."

Kian had no idea what to say.

Kian brushed off the blow, trying to focus on what could have happened to his wife.

"Jac, she did this before. When she and I were roommates, she took off to the mountains and I had to find her." Kian said.

"What do you mean...?"

"I think Haley's going to try to hurt herself." Kian blurted out. "Please, watch Farrah. I'll find Haley."

"You can barely walk!" Jac hollered.
"If I'm not back by morning, call the police. I think I know where she went." Kian said, getting into his car. Where were they the most happy as a family?
