Asher's POV

I sit in our room, checking my phone every two minutes since Sapphire was no where to be seen. It's Monday, so she doesn't have practice until Tuesday. She would have texted me if she was going to go somewhere, so something must be wrong. I quickly go downstairs and into Kim's office, where she was on her computer, a little bit of a look of worry on her face. When she looked up she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank God you're here! Did Sapphire text you at all saying she was going anywhere? Because she didn't come home yet and she has me really worried."She says while pacing.

"That's what I came to ask you, she hasn't texted me so I thought that you might know." i say, while texting Sapphire asking her where she was.

Just then, a giant for a guy came in wearing a tuxedo and looking pretty mad.

"WHERE IS MY CAR AND WHY ISN'T SAPPHIRE HOME YET" he roars at Kim. Now he's got both Kim and I scared.

"I got a call from you saying you had to stay at home sick today, so you couldn't pick her up. I had one of your rookies pick her up and i made sure to tell him that she always has the treat in the back so she won't be mad when she gets here. I'm sorry Rob" Kim said, nearly cowering in fear. Rob turned pale for a second and then got really red, really fast.

"Kim," he stared off calmly, really scarily too. "THERE HASN'T BEEN A NEW GUY IN OUR COMPANY FOR SEVEN YEARS" He roars. Just then he got a deafening sounding alarm on his phone and he quickly looked at it and then got extremely pale.

"What is it?! Is it something with Sapphire?!" I say, no, yell at him. If I told you I wasn't scared, I would be lying.

"Sapphire's been taken."

When I processed what he said, I just went numb. She's been my best friend ever since I got to this place. We've always texted each other and went places together. So why would someone want to take her? She doesn't really do much but listen to music and sing...Maybe that's why she got taken! She started a YouTube Channel a while back before I got here and made videos in between the guys she had. It must be a crazy stalker fan or something. I wonder if Rob already knew about it.... When I looked back to Rob and Kim, he had this dark and angry look on his face.

"Whoever has her, they're good. They blocked all signals to her phone so we don't get a location on her... We may have gotten an alert, but there's nothing we can do about it now... we just have to wait for a ransom call or something.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After what seemed like forever, I got a text from an unknown number

unknown:

I have Sapphire. Don't worry about ransom, I don't need nor want it. All I want is for you not to try and find her or to notify the police on the matter. I will make sure she is safe and well cared for, along with getting anything she would possibly need.She will be posting updates on her YouTube channel every week so you'll be able to see that I keep my arrangements. If you have any questions, call this number and I will get back to you when I can. Have a nice day.

I can't believe this, but for some reason, I feel like she's better there than here in a way. At least I know she's being taken care of and not tied up in a room of some sort being tortured like in the movies. I show the text to both Rob and Kim, to make sure that they are kept informed. Kim was ranting on about something until something caught my ear.

"That means you're free to go unless you get paired up with another girl. As for Sapphire's room, all of her stuff will be packed into boxes and moved into our storage facilities. Any questions?" She says. I could see the bags forming under her eyes from all of the stress. I feel bad for Kim, she invested years of time and work into Sapphire and now this happens...I wonder how Sapphire's doing in all of this. I hope she's okay.
