PLEASE HELP!!

I had my idler pulley off a couple of days ago. I put it back on last night (very tight, just like it was when I took it off), did a short drive, everything seemed ok.

This evening after work I'm driving to my parents and hear a lot of banging around and the volt light comes on. I pull off and pop the hood, no idler pulley in sight.

Now I go to NAPA and Advance to get a new pulley, they both have the pulley, but no bolt to sell me and the original is somewhere down the highway! Can anybody PLEASE tell me where to get the bolt? Right now my EX is sitting 40 miles away in front of a Napa, my dad had to come and get me and the wife and kid!

Thanks for the help
 












I don't know where to get the origional bolt, other than from Ford.
 






For what its worth (any case anyone needs this later)

The bolt and bearing are dealer only parts. One dealer I called very rudely told me its "not a hot item" and "I can't stock every part in the world" (won't be going back to that place) while a dealer a little bit out of town had the part and told me he'd sold at least 6 in the last month. Autozone also told me they had seen alot of people needing them.
