The Crown

Anna's POV

"What the fuck do you mean they've been kidnaped?" I ask as I look at my daughters' girlfriends.

"We were walking back to our rooms and we were attacked." Kailen says.

"You're gonna have to explain more than that." I say.

"We got hit over the heads then Tatiana, Jasmine, and Madeline were grabbed and after that it's all a bit hazy." Viv says.

"Have you called the cops?" I ask.

"They were already at the rooms when we woke up." Leah says. "We told them what happened then we ran up here to get you."

"Are they still here?" Christen asks.

"Yeah." Kailen says. "They're on our floor."

"Fuck this." I say then I push through everyone then I sprint down the stairs to the floor my daughter's had rooms on.

Once at the floor I run to where all the cops are.

"Uh I guessing your the mother of the victims."

"Yeah." I say. "Have you found them or do you have any leads?"

"We have a letter." The detective dude says then he show's me the letter.

Hello Anna,

We told you not to mess with us so we took your precious little girls as payment.

You will be contacted by us in two days and if you want to see your daughters again I suggest you do as we say.

"Payment for what?" I mumble as Christen, Kailen, Viv, and Leah get to me.

"We'll let you know what we find in their rooms." The detective says then I hand him the letter.

After I hand the letter back, I look at Christen, Kailen, Viv, and Leah.

"I need you to get all of your teams and bring them down to one of the conference rooms." I say.

The four ladies nod then we all split up and head to where we need to be.

When I get to the conference rooms, I pick one of the locks then I open the door and turn on the lights.

A little while later the Canadian, Dutch, British, and American teams finally file into the conference room.

"Why are we here?" Kelley asks. "I have better things to do

"Because my fucking daughter's were kidnapped." I say as I look at the former starting USA Right Back. "That's why you're here."

"Oh."

"Do any of you know anything about them being kidnapped?" I ask as my fiancée stands next to me.

Nobody says anything causing me to sigh

"If I find out any of you had anything to do with this then I promise you that you will never be seen again."

"What do you mean you haven't found anything?" I ask as I look at the task force in charge of finding my daughters. "It's been a fucking month and you have nothing?"

"We're trying." One of the lead guys says.

"Well fucking try harder or I'm gonna hang you by your balls in Trafalgar Square." I say then I leave the room. "Fucking idiots."

Once I leave the room I walk down the hall then I enter my apartment.

"Anything?" Christen asks.

"No." I say then I walk into my fiancée s arms.

"They'll find them." Christen says as she plays with my hair.

"They need to hurry up." I mumble. "I miss my kids."

"I do too." Christen says.

"Shower?" I ask.

Christen nods then the two of us head up to our room.

Once we're in our room we head to the bathroom, turn on the shower, then we take off our clothes.

When the shower is ready the two of us get in then I wrap my arms around my fiancée from behind.

"How are the girlfriends?" I ask.

"They're doing okay." Christen says. "Football's a welcome distraction for them."

"Who would do this?" I ask.

"I don't know Baba." Christen says. " I really don't know."

I sigh then my fiancée and I wash each other before we get out of the shower.

Once out of the shower my fiancée and I get dressed then we head downstairs.

"Hi Puppies." I say as I pet Bear, Storm, and Oreo.

The doggies whine which causes me to sigh.

"Your Mommy's will be home soon." I say. "Hopefully."

"Hey girls." I hear Christen say causing me to look up and see my daughter's girlfriend's walking into the room.

"Hey." Kailen, Viv, and Leah say.

"You all ready?" I ask.

Kailen, Viv, and Leah nod then they leash up the dogs before the five of us leave the apartment and head down to Kate and William's place.

Kate and Meghan wanna give us a little distraction so they brought in a manicurist and pedicurist for all of us ladies to have a semi-spa day.

When we get to Kate and William's place we open the door, release the dogs, then we search for Kate, Charlotte, and Meghan.

"Hey." Meghan says.

"Hi." I say then I hug my sister-in-law.

"How are you doing?"

"I want my daughter's back." I say.

"They'll be home soon Anna." Meghan says. "I know they will."

I take a deep breath then I hug Kate and Charlotte before I sit down and get a mani-pedi.

"You know I haven't done this in more than 2 years." I say.

"Done what?" Viv asks from the chair next to me.

"Gotten a manicure or a pedicure." I say. "I think the last time was Pre-World Cup."

"I think the last time I did was during the Olympics when Madeline gave me a mani-pedi." Viv says with a smile.

"I remember the first time she gave you one of those." I say with a smile. "When you were talking to your parents she came up and was all giddy because you liked it."

"Did she have that huge smile on her face?" Leah asks and I nod. "That was the first thing I noticed about Madeline when she joined Arsenal."

"Besides the hair." Viv says.

"That too." Leah says.

"What color ma'am?" One of the nail lady says.

"Green." I say.

The nail lady nods then she paints my nails green.

Once my nails are painted I get up and let Leah sit down.

"Ms. Anna." One of the Palace cleaning lady's says.

"Yeah Linda?" I ask then Linda motions me over to a corner of the room so I follow her.

"I found this when I was cleaning earlier today." Linda says then she hands me a letter.

"Kate and Meghan." I say as I look at the letter.

"Yeah?" Meghan says.

"Gather the family and call a press conference." I say.

"Why?" Kate asks.

"Because I know who took my daughters."
