Nobody else matters

Svetlana takes my arm and drags me to the left where she came from. I hate not knowing where I am and not knowing where I'm going. Especially when it's in the opposite direction of the sounds of my only daughter. Every cell in my body wants to go towards the sound, not away.
The room somehow gets even darker the further inside the place we get, until we reach a bigger almost empty room with no windows at all. It shines red inside from LED lights, and Svetlana lets go of me. She turns and locks the door behind me just as I see several people magically appear in the room out if nothing. They must have been hiding somehow and they don't look very nice.

One of them is wearing clothes that make him look like a doctor while the others are wearing tight black. They are all men. I think Svetlana might be the only woman in this place.
And then I hear a familiar voice coming from another man who looks like he's wearing normal clothes. I focus all of my attention on the tall and bulky man, trying to figure out why he feels familiar.

Svetlana pushes me in the back so I start walking further into the room and closer to the man. And then I realize who it is. It's Brad. One of Tom's men. And now it all makes sence. Tom told Brad to go get Cat in her room and when he called Tom and told him that she wasn't there, she was... he just took her. He took my daughter. Brad took my daughter.

Every motherly instinc turns into pure fighting power. My whole body tenses and I can feel my muscles tingling. I shoot forward and reach out to Brad not really knowing what I'm planning to do, I just have to hurt him. I manage to get a good scratch across his face before Svetlana grabs me and pulls me away from him like I weigh nothing.

Bill's pov:

Scarlett never came back. Tom never came back. Gustav and Crystal are gone. We are all dissapearing one person at a time, and I need to do something about it. Early in the morning just when the sun is about to come up, I sit down with Georg so we can try to figure out what to do. Make a plan.
We decide that if we want to find Scarlett, we need Tom's help. So first things first, we need to find Tom. We think back to the last time we saw him where I'm not much help cus I was in the hospital when he left. Georg remembers through. And he remembers Scarlett asking about him and none of them knowing where he was.

"Tom wouldn't run away just like that. He must have had to go somewhere and not tell us. With everything that's happening right now... I wouldn't be surprised if it had something to do with Cat. But we don't know who took her. Could there be someone else who knew that he came to ask?" Georg asks me. I sift through the possibilities in my head, really trying to not look at the obvious, until it's the only option left.
I really thought Tom would never go back there, especially not without me all alone. But to him it must have felt like the only way out. Since he isn't back yet, something must have happened. Either he said something wrong or Nick just wanted to have fun. That's a lot like him.

"I know where he is. Nick." I say quickly and easy as I stand up from the chair. My shoulder still hurts which won't exactly help me in this situation, but I have to do something. Tom could really be in pain right now.

Georg's face chanced completely. He's just as scared as I am, but we have to be strong.

Apparently Tiffany wanted to come with us. Georg tried to explain to her what we are doing and how dangerous it could be, but she insists on coming with us if it's about Scarlett and Cat in some way. She's sweet, I'll give her that. But this is not the time to show that off.
But she ends up coming with us in the car, even though neither me nor Georg are very happy about it. She's a lot like Scarlett in some ways. Very persistant and she knows what she wants. I don't wanna find out what she would do if we kicked her out of the car and left.

The drive actually becomes more energetic and not so depressing with her here. She put some music on in the car and she sat in the backseat humming and dancing to the songs. It cheered both of us up. She really is a sweetheart that girl. I understand why Georg wanted her. Beautiful, smart, funny, sweet and caring. She is perfect for Georg. Exactly what he needed.

It's a long drive but it feels shorter with Tiffany in the back. Though I am still terrified what might happen to her. She's a woman. We aren't. Nick could do much worse things to her than he would ever do to Georg and I. Nick knows us and would hurt us but never kill us. Tiffany has no anchor holding her to her life.
Right now, nothing matters but keeping Tiffany, Tom and Georg and I alive. That is what we have to focus on first.
I need my brothers help, and nothing else matters.

After hours and hours of driving, we arrive to the black warehouse. I've driven past it a few times before we left for Germany to keep myself posted on everything about them, in case I ever needed it. And nothing has changed. And I know it's the right place, because I can hear muffled screams from the inside, and I can only pray to myself that it's not Tom screaming. Even if it is, that means he's still alive.

This one's for Naomy bc I love u baby 🤗
