(So this is when Vance gets kidnapped and shit happens)

"Hey V." She smiled at him as he left school.

"Hey."

"Where you going?"

"To the store."

"Knew it."

"What do you want, Marie?"

"I can't just hang out with my boyfriend?"

"Whatever. What do you actually want?"

"Well, actually I wanted to hang out-"

"No. I'm busy."

She sighed "Alright, Fine. Whatever. I'll see you I guess. Love you."

"Love you too." He muttered

————————————————————————

"Look, Robin I'm just saying be careful. Those kids are still missing."

"I'll be careful, okay?"

"Okay. Have fun." She sighed and waved as he rode off on his bike.

She went back inside, and just drew. Until she heard a knock at the door.

"Hey, Vance." She said when she opened the door to see him.

"Hey.. I'm sorry about earlier-"

"It's fine. I just wanted you to be careful, you know? Two kids have been missing. One was Billy, the paperboy."

"I'm not scared of some stupid asshole that is probably like 50, I'll beat his ass if he comes near me." He argued.

"Vance. Please, just promise me-"

"Fine. I'll be careful."

"Thank you."

"Yeah yeah whatever. I gotta go. I'll see you later."

They kissed for a second, before he left.

"Love you." She told him.

"Love you too."

So while Vance walked down the sidewalk, he thought of what she had said.

He wasn't paying attention and ran into someone. He was an older man, with a hat and he was carrying groceries.

"Oh my! I'm sorry." The man said, Vance scoffed and ignored him, continuing to walk away before he felt someone grab him.

"Hey- what the hell!" He kicked and thrashed, but then everything suddenly went black.

—————————————————————————

He woke up in a small room, that looked more like a basement.

He saw someone looking down at him.

"Marie?" He said, his vision blurred.

Nope, definitely not Marie.

"Marie? Who's that huh? You gotta girlfriend?" He said in a teasing voice. Vance sat up and quickly backed up against the wall, as far away as he could from the man.

"Who the fuck are you?"

"I could ask the same about you."

"What do you want?" Vance asked, sounding slightly scared.

"Nothing in particular." He smiled.

Vance got up when his vision wasn't blurry, and tried to run away. But he was grabbed from behind, his ankles being pulled, he fell to the ground.

"No escaping, silly." The man teased, and poked his nose, before leaving the basement and going up.

Vance looked around, and sat on the mattress. He put his head down, and thought.

Maybe if I was more careful like Marie told me to be, maybe if I stayed with her. This wouldn't have happened he thought.
