The lies they told

Isabella

Oliver hugs Emma. "You will be able to find her Emma. I know you can. Just because the stupid police announced her dead does not mean that it's true." "I know, but I'm starting to lose hope Oli." "Don't lose hope." "You're right. I promised Jessy to find Isabella." "Good, now eat something and the we'll go to bed." "Okay." Oli hugs Emma tight and kissed her nose. Emma smiles. "You love to do that don't you?" "Mhm, I love to give you nose kisses."

"Well, I'll go ahead and eat something." "Okay, I'll finish watching the news." "Okay Oli, I love you." "I love you too Emma." Emma goes into the kitchen and makes herself something to eat. Oliver sits in the living room watching the news. He turns the TV off and goes into the kitchen. "Just done are you?" "Yes." Emma chuckles and puts her dirty dishes away.

"Come, I need someone to cuddle." Emma giggles and goes over to Oliver. "Cuddle hm? And who said I'd cuddle with you?" "Thin ice Em." "I know, come now." Emma pulls Oliver up to their room. Both of them get ready for bed and then go to bed. Emma and Oliver sleep in the next day since Oliver has a day off. They stay in bed until 10.

"When are you leaving again Em?" "In two hours. I want to know if I can find something new. Maybe I can get access to the file again." "Em." "Hm?" Emma turns her head. "Remember, whatever they tell you, you can find that missing girl." Oliver smiles at Emma. "You're right Oli. I will find her." "Of course you can, you are the best Emma." Oliver hugs Emma. Emma smiles and cuddles into Oliver's touch.

"Don't you dare lose hope Em. You can do it." "Yes Oli." Emma giggles. "Good." Oliver smiles and kisses Emma. "Since you are home the entire day you can do some laundry Oli." "Okay, I'll do the laundry."

Oliver started doing laundry and Emma cleaned the kitchen. Emma took a long time to clean the kitchen. It was almost twelve when she finished. "I'm out of the house Oli." "Okay, have a great day darling." "You too. Bye." Emma leaves the house. She gets into her car and drives to the small town again. She parks in front of the police department. She goes inside.

"Hello." "Hi, I would like to take a look at the file of Isabella Summer." "Come with me Miss." Emma follows the officer to the office. "Wait here, I'll get the file for you." "Thank you." Emma sits down in one of the chairs and waits for the officer. The officer picks the file out and goes back to Emma. "Here you go, but you have to leave it here. That's the original one." "Okay, I'll just read it." "So, why are you interested in that specific file?" The officer asks while sitting down. "I promised to find her." Emma said without looking up. "Oh, and you are?" "Emma Banville, lawyer." "A lawyer?" "Yes, got a problem with that?" "No, I just don't get why you are investigating." "Because I promised her best friend Jessy West to find Isabella." Emma looked coldly at the Officer. "Okay, typing noises won't disturb you right? I need to finish a report." "No, go on." "Okay." The officer starts writing the report while Emma read the file multiple times. "There isn't really anything new is there?" Emma asked. "Not really. Just the protocol that we ended the search for her." "Mhm, thought so." "Have you seen the file before?" "Yes, a officer copied it for me a few weeks ago." "Oh, okay." The officer continued her work while Emma read the file again, trying to find something new or something she missed before. Soon the clock said three p.m. "I'll head home, this isn't bringing me forward." "Okay, have a great day Miss." "Have a great day too." Emma put the file onto the officers Table and left the police department. She got into her car and drove off.

Thirty minutes into the drive Emma's phone rang. She stopped by the side of the road. "Banville?" She answered. "I know you are trying to find Isabell. You were where she's held captive. Be quick and you will see her alive." The person hung up. Emma started her car again and drove back to the station. "We need to go to the abandoned building now! Or Isabelle will be dead." She bursts through the door. The officer looks at Emma "What?" "I got a call. Isabella is in the abandonned building alive. If we don't act now Isabella will be dead!" "Okay, Everyone come here right now we need to save a life!" The officer yelled. Five other officers came out. "We need to go to the abandoned Building to save Isabella." "Okay, let's go!" Everyone ran to the three police cars outside the station. "Come with me Miss." A female officer called out to Emma. Emma went over to the police car and got in. They drove off with sirens and lights. "Okay so what did the person who called you say?" Emma tells what the person said to her. Soon after they arrived at the building.

They got out of the car and rushed into the abandoned building, desperate to find Isabella alive. After the threading message Emma received they weren't to sure that the six year old would be alive any longer. The six police officers searched the first, second and third floor. Emma went down to the basement. "Isabella? Isabella?!" She yelled, trying to find the girl. She looks into every room she finds. "Isabella?! Isabella where are you?!" Emma tried opening a door but that door was locked.

While Emma was outside the room James Miller had pinned Isabella against the wall.

She walks to the stairs and shouts up. "Come to the basement! There is a locked room." The six police officers run down the stairs to the basement. "Where is the room?" "Follow me." Emma showed them the room. "We need to open the door. She's probably in there." "Okay." "Miss, you stand back. And you four too." Four police officers and Emma step back. Two other police officers open the door. "Hands up!" They shout and point their weapons all around the room and then at James. James let go of Isabella and the little girl falls to her knees.

While the officers arrested James Emma rushed to Isabella. The little girl was crying. "Isabella." Emma kneels down to Isabella's level. "Are you okay?" Isabella shook her head. "It's over now." Emma pulled Isabella into her arms. Isabella clings around Emma's arm and cries bitterly. Emma gently rubs Isabella's back and looks at the officers who arrest James. "Why did you kidnap Isabella?" "Because I was jealous! Jealous that John got promoted and I didn't!" "And then you had to take a six year old girl?! Why didn't you just speak your mind towards John?!" "Because I couldn't! I just needed to hurt him!" "Okay whatever!" Two officers brought James out to the police car, three others followed.

One of the three female officers stayed behind with Emma and Isabella. "Is she alright?" "Under shock and probably not in the best health conditions but overall yes." "Okay, we need to leave now." Emma got up and scooped Isabella into her arms. She follows the officer out of the building. "We called an ambulance for her." "Okay thank you." Emma sat down with Isabella.

Ten minutes later the ambulance arrives. The female officer Hanna showed the Paramedics where to go. "Hello." "Hello." "We'll go to the ambulance and check her there." One of them said. "Can you walk?" Isabella nods. "Okay, come." Emma helped Isabella up and walk over to the ambulance with her. She helped Isabella get into the ambulance. "Miss, you need to stay outside." "No, please let her stay." Isabella cries. "Okay, I'm Lia btw." Emma goes in and stands behind Isabella. The other paramedic closes the two back doors. "I'm Cora." The other woman comes in. Isabella calms down a little. Emma is relieved that she found Isabella alive. Lia takes a Stethoscope.

"What's your name?" "I-Isabella." "Okay Isabella. Is it ok with you if I go under your shirt with the Stethoscope and listen to your heart and lung?" Isabella hesitated for a moment before saying "Yes." "If you don't want me to do that I won't, okay Isabella?" "Bella." "You want us to call you Bella?" Isabella nods. "Okay Bella, we will drive to the hospital now. Can you lay down for the ride please?" "Okay." Isabella lays down and Lia buckles her to the sluggish. Emma sits down and buckles up. So does Lia. Cora gets out, closes the door and gets into the front seat. She starts the ambulance and drives of to the hospital.

Isabella turns onto her right side and pulls her knees up to her chest. Emma reached her right hand out to Isabella. Isabella smiled a little and took Emma's hand. Emma squeezed Isabella's hand and smiled. "Everything will be alright."
