Luke's POV
The next morning I wake up at 5 am sharp, I look at Alexis and she's cuddling me so tightly it's making me sweat, I try to slide away from her grip but she starts to squirm, I sigh and give in laying back down and cuddling her back.
"Alexis" I mumble as she moves around in her sleep, or if she's awake.. I can't tell.
"Hm" she mumbles, well she's awake. Okay then.
"I'm going to go to New York to find Arabelle.. You gotta let me get up.." I whisper and she frowns keeping her eyes shut tightly, slowly she unwraps her arms from me and moves her head off of my chest, a small groan comes from her mouth. I chuckle and stretch my arms before climbing over her and out of the bed, she scoots around and finally ends up falling back fast asleep cuddling my pillow. I smile at her and pull on my shirt and jeans. I grab my wallet and phone, I walk to the bedroom door, I open it quietly and shut it as quietly behind me, I walk down to Amelia's old room, where Hunter is, I go in and see him sleeping, I smile and kiss his forehead gently, he flinches in his sleep and I frown slightly, I pick him up and carry him into Alexis room, I lay him in the bed beside her and then walk down the stairs and out the front door, I sit down on the front step of the house and pull out my phone, I click on the uber app and order a ride, it says it'll be here in 5 minutes, I lean back against a pole that's supporting the little roof over the small porch area and wait, I look around at all the familiar settings, it seems so weird being back here, not much has changed but at the same time it feels like everything has changed.

after waiting for a few minutes (more than 5) the car pulls up infront of the house, I walk down the sidewalk and get in, I tell the driver I need to go to the airport, the driver is an older lady, probably in her 50's or 60's, she seems very kind, probably the kindest uber driver I've had, just from first impressions, as she begins driving to the airport she begins telling me about her life and how she struggles getting pregnant, whenever she would get pregnant she would lose the baby, she tells me how she prayed to God every day and every night asking for a baby, she tells me she has a daughter who just finished med school, I tell her how amazing and inspiring her story is, she asks about my life and I tell her about Hunter and Alexis, I tell her about my job and we get into amazing conversation. Eventually the ride is over as we pull into the airport.
"I just want to thank you. You're by far the best uber driver I've ever had, for crying out loud it's 5:30 am and you're so wide awake and chipper and it's started my day off well.. Please take this and continue doing what you're doing, you're making an amazing change in this community." I tell her and hand her $100 from my wallet, tears form in her eyes as she stares at the money that's laying in my hand, she shakes her head and looks up at me to meet our eyes.
"Honey, you can't give me this.." She says and I smile at her.
"Please, take it. I won't miss it." I smile and she slowly takes the money from me.
"Thank you, thank you" she says and blinks away the tears.
"You're welcome, have a nice day!" I say and close the door, I walk into the airport and catch a flight to New York.
Arabelle's POV
a light starts shining in my face, a really really bright light, I cover my eyes and whimper as the light gets closer in my face.
"Are you hungry, bitch?" The familiar voice kicks me in the ribs over and over again and then throws something at me, soon after the bright light leaves again, but I feel something sharp and painful and shocking hit me in my side, I scream in pain and begin to sob for the pain is so painful I pass out.
Later I wake up and there is some cracks in the walls, small light is shinning in the room from the small cracks, it's light enough so I can sort of see my surroundings, I look down and I'm sitting in a puddle of water, there's water all around the room, some area's look deeper then others, on my lap is a bag of bread and a bottle with half filled water in it. I quickly grab the water bottle and screw the lid off quickly, I begin drinking the water and sigh once I've drank some, I take a piece of bred and nibble on it, I start to feel my stomach again which makes relief take over my body. But it doesn't make me forget the fact I'm trapped, he killed the man of my dreams.. He's probably going to kill me next, he probably has killed Alexis and Luke, or he is going to. I try to move but pain shocks through my whole body, coming from my side, I grip my side quickly and scream and cry in pain, I move my hands away from my side and they are covered in blood, I scream at the sight of the blood and look down at my side, it's seeping blood.
Luke's POV
Once I arrive in New York, I go directly to the police station, I walk inside the building and look around.
"Can I help you?" A officer says walking over to me.
"Yes, actually." I say and he nods and motions me over to a office, I walk into the office room and take a seat in a chair, he sits behind the desk and crosses his hands.
"What can I do you for?" He asks.
"I came because my friend, a very close family friend, is in trouble, she's missing, we got texts that worry us and my son went through the same thing, he got abused, he has scars and he's still recovering, he is physically and mentally harmed for life." I say and the officer nods and sighs.
"Take it slowly kid, what's this friends name?" He asks and pulls out files from his desk.
"Arabelle Mcclue" I say and he looks through files, he keeps nodding his head.
"There's already a missing investigation for her, if you have information we'll gladly take that." He tells me and I nod.
"I do" I say and he pulls out things to take notes.
"I have this text, I know this man, he was the same man who took ahold of my son and abused him, his name is Sam Pot-" I start to say and he interrupts me.
"Where are you from boy?" He asks and I frown.
"California, LA" I say and he nods, he grabs his phone and makes a phone call, I sigh and wait crossing my arms as he speaks on the phone.
"Can I have your name?" He asks looking at me.
"Luke korns." I say and tap my foot impatiently.
"Your sons name?" He asks.
"Hunter Korns." I say and continue to tap my foot, minutes later he hangs up and looks at his notes.
"I'm sorry I just had to confirm about your son, the information on his case is being sent over and as of that we can't go farther until we can look over those." He says and I feel like screaming at the top of my lungs for him to do something, I decide to just let it go and wait for the files to get sent over, he tells me he will call me when he needs me to come in for more information on it, I decide to go and check into a hotel until then.
