Abducted

Chapter 15

Hope that everyone is enjoying the updates. I am trying to strike the iron while it is hot if you know what I mean. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Mia

I pace the room as I have been what seemed like months. I can't eat or sleep. The only thing on my mind is my precious daughter. Beth sits on the sofa and watches me.

"Its been two weeks Beth." I tell her.

"I know Mia. Brandon is good at his job he will bring her back. Mike said that some had tipped Zack off and he  went over the border with Olivia. He also said that Brandon was on his heals and should meet up with him real soon." Says Beth

"I know but she has never been away from me this long. I just want her back safe and sound."

Since it was decided that I out that I have a daughter and she is missing there has been a nonstop of phone calls from the media asking why I hid the fact that I had a child. Wanting to know who was her father and even some say that it is all a lie. I am so thankful that James has given me time off and has tried helping as much as he can. 

"Mia you have to eat something. You have lost too much as it is. You need to be strong for when Olivia is back safe and in your arms. How do you expect to hold her if you can't even hold yourself up?" She tells me.

"How can I eat when my baby is out there." I tell her.

"Eat Mia, if you don't you will end up in the hospital and where are you going to be then. Just eat Mia."

"Okay but I am eating it right here." I say

"That is fine as long as you eat." She says.

She then heads to the kitchen to fix something to eat. When she comes back she places the plate of food on the table in front of the sofa. I sit down and eat the food slowly.

"Thank you Beth for staying with me. I don't know where I would be without you here." I tell her.

"You are like a sister to me and you would probably be in the hospital if I wasn't here." She tells me.

Once I am finished eating Beth takes the plate back to the kitchen and puts it the sink. I get back to pacing and waiting for another call.

Brandon

Its been two weeks and still nothing. The pig has been evading us at every turn. We have caught his accomplice Steve. He has said that Zack is on his way back over the border and back to town. 

"Sir I think that he will try and make contact with Mia again. She is the one that he wants so he won't keep running. I have already had Mike give her my phone and I take hers in hope of just that happening." I tell Victor

"Well I hope that he does it soon so Olivia can be back home with her mother." Says Victor. 

"Well I am about to get back into town. I am meeting up with a informant that thinks that Zack is held up in a local hotel." I tell him.

"Okay just keep us updated. We are doing what we can on our end. We have men following other leads." He tells me.

I hang up the phone and head toward the hotel to meet up with my informant. I am hoping that this is the right guy. Olivia has been away from home for long enough. Ten minutes after I got into town I make it to the hotel. The guy I am meeting is sitting out front.

"Rick?" I ask.

"Yes, he hasn't left the building all day." He tells me.

"Do you know exactly what room he is in and if he had this little girl with him." I say as I show him a picture of Olivia. 

"I didn't see a girl but the guy inside said that when he checked in he had a little one with him. He is in room 110." Says Rick

"Okay I am going to go up alone. You stay here and call this number and tell them everything and that Brandon is on location." I say as I head inside.

I hand him the number and tun to head into the hotel and  head to the second floor. Once I get to the floor and pull my gun from my holster. I slowly walk to the room that Rick has told me. As I get closer to the room I hear a child scream and I run to the door and kick it in. 

"What the..."Zack says as he turns to look at me.

"Step away from her Zack." I say aiming my gun at his chest.

"Well lookie here. I figured you would have ran to the whore when you found out I was back in town." Zack says not moving.

"I am warning you Zack get away from her now."

I look down at Olivia and she is staring at me with fear in her eyes. 

"Olivia honey get up and go down stairs and outside there will be someone waiting for you." I tell her.

"She isn't going anywhere." Zack says.

"You are going to let her leave." I say as I take a step toward them.

Olivia slowly gets up and runs to me. 

"Your okay Liv. Now do what I said and I'll bring you to your mommy when I am done here." I tell her.

She Looks up at me one last time and runs out the room and while I am distracted Zack lunges at me. He knocks my gun from my hand and tries to get past me. I push him forward and take a swing. We start fighting, throwing punch after punch. 

"I should of just have killed it and went on with my way. It was a waste of my time keeping it alive. It wouldn't shut up. It would have been so easy to just rap my hands around it's throat and squeeze the life from her." He says pushing me back some.

What he said about Olivia pisses me of even more and I land a blow to the side of his head and he goes down. I climb on him and lay blow after blow. I didn't notice Victor walk in the room.

"Brandon he's down now get off of him before you kill him." Victor says pulling me from Zack

"It's what he deserves after everything he has done." I tell him.

"Yes but it isn't up to you Brandon. Go to the child and get her back to her mother. You should be the one to do it. Besides she is asking for you." He tells me.

I say nothing and turn and leave the room. Once I get down to the first floor and get outside. Olivia is in an ambulance rapped in a blanket. I walk over to her.

"Hey kiddo, are you ready to go and see your momma?" I ask Olivia as I slide in next to her.

"Yea, can go home now." She says looking up at me.

"Yes sweetie you can go home now. Lets go." I say as I pick her up and head to my car. 

I had a detective install a car seat. I place Olivia in it and buckle her up and climb into the driver seat. Duke jumps in the back seat and puts his head onto Olivia's lap. I start the car and put it in reverse. I head toward Mia's home. I look in the rear view mirror and see that Olivia is fast asleep. Poor girl has been threw a lot this past two weeks.

"I am never going to let anything happen to you again. I promise you that." I tell her even though I know she didn't hear me.

I turn into Mia's drive way and head up to the house. As I put the car in park Mia comes out of the house.
