Hands To Heaven

A Safe Return

Carrick
We are asked all kinds of questions along with our security and the undercover officers. They arrested all but one person who orchestrated the kidnapping of all 16 of us. We were all examined by doctors who said we just had bruises and no internal injuries. We were outnumbered and outgunned. If we had fought against them we'd probably been dead in a firefight. What our captors didn't know was all of us had trackers built in to something we wore regularly. Between Thomas, Ray and Jason they tracked us down and called in friends who soon discovered where we were and just how many were holding us. Talk about being outnumbered, the kidnappers didn't have a chance against black ops teams who rescued us. The ambush happened in less than an hour. We were held for six hours and they took our statements immediately. We were finally driven home and we were finally back safely in our home and our family were waiting for our arrival.

We were all questioned and all were checked out physically and bruises and scapes were all photographed for evidence. The cages that put us in were well planned out. It was soundproofed and I swear it was like a luxury hotel for hostages. If there could be anything like that. The cages had every thing we might need in them. I think they were giving us a false sense of who they really were and what they were going to do with us. They meant us harm, well whoever they were working for meant us harm. Carrick and I couldn't see each other and weren't able to figure it out. If it weren't for Ray, Jason and Thomas finding us and getting their military friends involved we probably would be dead. I saw photos of the building we were being kept in. They could easily dispose of all of us without a trace. What they had planned for us was to make us all early organ donators. I am finding out more and more about these criminals. I am going to keep my bodyguards very close from now on. Ray, Jason and Thomas said that these guys who took us were hired to take us to the building, they weren't going to stay once we were turned over. They are just as guilty in my eyes.

Carrick
My wife found out what they had planned for all of us. I had hoped that she hadn't been shown the surgical rooms and the other rooms. They hadn't brought in the surgeons yet. We might never find out who they had found to do their dirty work for them. They are investigating that. Christian had everything kept quiet about the incident from being reported in the newspapers. They had hoped to find the surgeons. Unfortunately the paparazzi got wind of it all. We nearly had one of the surgeons, well the cops did. But he weaseled out of it and flew back to his home state.

Ray
We get everything taken care of and leave for home. Only minor injuries were reported and no one suffered from the rescue. We were lucky these people weren't going to put up a huge struggle. They knew the gig was up when we got through their defenses. We got a few of the players who were giving orders but not the ones paying for their services. We might not have them in person, but we do have them electronically.

Jason
Barney found the chatter between the payers and the payees and was able to help get warrants with legal information guiding them to the computers and IP addresses. We discovered that we were right about the people behind it. Now to get the evidence is the police and they screwed up once before. We think they have people working for them in the police department. It won't take long to ferret them out after this. We have access to everything at this point. Our military friends are already helping uncover the truth about it all.

Thomas
Mia was so frantic about her mom and dad being kidnapped she couldn't sleep. Things are not going to be the same for a while. They are very sure who was behind this whole thing. One is running the operation from his prison cell. The building they had them in is now closed down and being watched closely for possible criminal activity. I hold Mia and try to get her to calm down. Our children knew what had happened and they are staying close to us and security. I have been training them in self defense. Ray, Jason and I are teaching them gun safety. Christian and Elliott have places where all of us can go to be safe, if it comes down to assuring all our safety.

Elliott
Mom and dad are pretty shaken up and they want to see their grandchildren. We are making sure they get to see all their grandchildren. The grandchildren were very upset about their grandparents being kidnapped. It is hard to keep them from hearing news about their own family.

Kate
My dad wants me to give him inside information on what happened with my in laws. I told him there is no way I am telling him anything about the kidnapping. It could screw up the trials. He argued with me and so did mom about my loyalty to them. I reminded them that I was always loyal, but loyal to follow my own heart and mind.

Our children have missed their grandparents and they want to hug them and give them cards that they made for them welcoming them home.  It was a lot of work but well worth it in the end. Carrick and Grace were very happy to get their cards and all the hugs and kisses from all their grandchildren. It was a great welcome home party. All of us were so relieved and happy to have them back safely.
