Bella's POV
"T-this isn't funny Ashton." My lip trembled as I hopped off the bed and walked over to him.
He shook his head, "I wish I was trying to be funny, Bella, look."
Ashton took out his phone, swiping through a few things before facing it towards me.
It was a screen shot of a text message Ashton received from a blocked number.
'Planning on dropping by to see me now?;)-C' captioned a picture of Ricky sitting in the middle of a small basement looking room crying.
"No. No, I'm going to kill her." I grumbled, turning to Luke after he read the message. "Let's go. All of us, now."
The boys nodded, telling me to change out of my dress but I just ignored them and stormed down the stairs.
"Calum! Mikey!" I yelled through the house, "Get up and out of the house."
I grabbed my phone and charger off the counter in the kitchen and exited the apartment.
I stood in the elevator doorway so it wouldn't close well the lads rushed in.
I pressed the button continuously for it to go to the lobby before Luke finally grabbed my arm and held it back, his head ducking down so he could be level with me.
"Calm down."
I nodded, leaning into him. The doors opened and we all stumbled out into the lobby, then dashed towards Ashton's car.
The five of us slipped in and Ashton headed towards the orphanage as fast as the cars around us would let him. When we pulled up, I practically pushed Luke out of the car before it had completely stopped.
We rushed inside, straight to Mary's office and past the confused children.
"Where's Ricky?" I breathed out, my hands on the desk to hold me up.
She looked up at me through her glasses, clearly taken back. "He got adopted, I'm sorry. The couple who adopted him was so nice, I'm sure he's-"
"She couldn't have been able to adopt him," I told Luke, "She wouldn't have been able to come here straight from jail."
Mary gave us confused looks.
"He didn't get adopted by that couple. Please give us any information you have on them because Ricky's been kidnapped."
"No, that's not possible. We screen check ev-"
"Listen lady," I spoke sternly, snappy a bit, leaning closer to the old woman. "I need to save Ricky, if you don't give me the information I will go back there and Get. It. My. Self."
Luke grabbed my shoulders, pulling me back so I wasn't so in her face. "Sorry." He apologized to the old lady.
"I'm not supposed to, but." She shakily handed me a packet. I flipped through until I found two names. "I'll bring this back to you later! Thank you!"
I smiled, grabbing Luke's hand as he apologized again and running out.
I shoved the papers at Ashton once in the car.
"Tell me what's familiar."
"Says they have a kid of their own, Jasmyn. Um, this is Casey's first name spelt with a K and another E. And the ID picture his a photoshopped picture of Casey, she used to carry it around in her wallet. I think she knows someone who looks just like that or something."
"Why isn't it loading," Calum cursed, shaking the phone he was holding in the air.
"What are you doing..." I questioned the boy.
