Danielle:

"Where's Ashley? She's taking way too long to come in here, don't you think?" I asked while pulling my phone out. "You said you texted here we were in here?" I asked Chloe and she nodded. 

"Good job Lesley, you were great. Thank you again" Jessica said while hugging Lesley and stepping out of the locker room. 

Lesley grabbed her bag and we all stepped out of the locker room. We were the last ones out here. Everyone was already gone and they were starting to turn the lights off. 

"Where's Ashley?" I asked when I noticed she wasn't out here. 

"Maybe she's waiting for us in the car. You know how she is" Nixie said. 

"Yeah, she can be so impatient sometimes" Chloe nodded. 

We all headed towards the car and Nixie opened the door. 

"Unless Ashley is an empty Mcdonald's bag or a Prada purse, she's not in here" I said. 

"Maybe she got lost in the stadium. Let's go separate ways and look for her" Lesley suggested while we closed the door to the car. 

"What if something bad happened to her?" Chloe asked while her eyes started getting watery.

"Nothing bad could happen to her. Don't cry" I said while holding her hand. 

She nodded and we looked around for Ashley. I hope nothing bad happened to her.

"Guys, we've been looking for hours and Ashley's nowhere to be found" Nixie said in a worried tone. 

"I'll call her phone" Lesley said while pulling her phone out of her back pocket. 

She dialed Ashley's number and then she turned to face us while waiting. Suddenly, we all heard Ashley's phone. We walked over towards the noise and we found her phone under the bleachers.

"Guys, I think something bad did happen to Ashley, we need to call the boys" Nixie said, her eyes growing wide. 

"We should call the police first" I suggested. 

"Niall needs to know" Chloe said. "You call Niall and I'll call the police" she suggested while pulling her phone out. 

"You're right, I'll call Niall" I said while grabbing my phone. 

After a few rings, Niall finally picked up. "Hey, Danielle. What's up? Did you accidentally dial the wrong number or something? I have Liam's number if you forgot it" he said with a chuckle. I could hear the boys in the background making noise. 

"No, no. It's Ashley. S--She--" 

"What's wrong with Ashley? Is she okay?" he interrupted, immediately getting worried. 

"She's missing, Niall. We came to a softball game and now we can't find her" I said as the tears blurred my vision. 

"What? Have you called the police?" he panicked. 

"I--I--We are. We're calling them now. But you know how they are. They don't do anything until someone's been missing for at least an entire day" I told him, turning towards Chloe, who was on the phone arguing with the police. 

My hands started to shake and I tried to remain calm. 

"I don't care what Simon or management says, the boys and I are going over there as soon as possible. I'm gonna find my Ashley and I'll murder anyone who hurts her" Niall said, his voice cracking. I could tell he was trying not to cry. 

I heard the rest of the boys asking Niall what was wrong in the back. 

"We'll try to figure something out with the police to see what they can do while you guys figure out how to get back here as soon as possible" I told him. "We need to work together. I know we'll find her" I said, trying to comfort him a bit. 

"Okay" he said before hanging up. 

I walked over towards the girls and they all looked scared and nervous. This has never happened to us before. Why did it have to happen to Ashley? She's just so innocent and small and I'm really worried about her. I just hope she's okay. 

"We found something" Chloe said. 

"What is it?" I asked her. 

"It's an ID card" Lesley said while holding it up.

"Let's see the picture" I said. 

We all looked at it and Chloe gasped. "I know this guy. I accidentally dropped popcorn on him and he kept on looking at Ashley in a really weird way" she said. 

"You don't think he kidnapped her or something?" I asked in a worried tone. 

"Maybe he did, he looked a bit creepy" Chloe said while shuddering. 

"We have to take this to the police" Lesley said. 

"What are we waiting for? Let's go" I said. 

We all got in the car and I started driving to the police station as quickly as possible. 

***

We arrived at the station and we rushed inside. The place was nearly empty. The only people here were an old man in cuffs falling asleep on a chair and a police officer standing next to him drinking some coffee. I noticed two police officers by the front desk. We quickly rushed over towards their desk. 

"We need your help" I said desperately.  

"Look, if this is some kind of joke, I don't wanna hear it, there have been many teenage kids coming in here with jokes today" the older police officer said in a bored tone. 

"It's not a joke, here" Lesley said while handing him the ID card. 

"Robert Wilson, how did you get this?" the police officer asked while his eyes grew wide. 

"He kidnapped my friend" I said quickly. 

"You know him?" Chloe asked the officers as they looked down at the ID. 

"We've been looking for him for a really long time. He kidnaps young rich girls and ask their parents or boyfriends for money. We've been working on his case for a while now" the younger police officer explained as he typed some information into his computer. 

"Where was the last time you girls saw this man?" the older officer asked while stepping out from behind the desk. 

"The stadium, it's not too far from here" Chloe told him. 

"Take us there" he said, waving his partner over.
