Default Alternator Bolt

I wast have a random problem with my crx's battery indicator flashing. I was in the engine bay cleaning out parts of the throttle body yesterday, i went under the car to unplug the Fast Idle Control and I noticed that the bottom bolt of the alternator isnt even there. @@

Everyones got there bottom bolts in right? I guess Ima go buy another bolt tomorrow.
