Brake Caliper Bolt Disappered!!!!

So on my way to pick up my girl friend from work my RX8 (2004, Blk, Greddy Cat Back) started making a metal to metal grinding sound when I applied the brakes. I limped home very causicaly, and discovered that my right front brake caliper was slid backwards due to the lower bolt was gone. I used a straw to verify that it was indeed gone and not just broke off. Heres the problem, brakeway and all the service departments are CLOSED! I need to know what size bolt to buy so that I can put it in and get it driveable! And yes, i know there are tons of typos, whatever! Please help!

Take the 'other' bolt out and get to a place that sells bolts?

Was trying to avoid taking the entire brake assemply apart. I can replace the bolt without removing the wheel.
