Safe Place

Chapter Twelve

Miranda's P.O.V

I was pacing around thinking over my options if I wait a few days I could be to late. What if I get caught? Will they kill me? How is Jacob going to react? I had so many questions running through my head but no certain answer to any of them. That's when I got a text from Jacob the first one since everything went down might I add.

Anyways that's when I knew I had to save my best friend now, as soon as I saw the picture of us together I couldn't help but remember the promise we made to eachother after we took that picture it was my favorite and held a lot of meaning behind it that's why it's been my lock screen for a few years now. (Picture above.)

《 Flashback. 》

Graduation Dinner.

Aliyah and Miranda attended their graduation ceremony and then both decided to celebrate by going out to eat. Aliyah's parents were god knows where and Miranda's had went on another business trip so it was the two girls like it always was. They reached a decent restaurant and decided that they would just share something since they didn't have much money left from Miranda's parents.

"They said they'd be back in a day or so that when they get back it's for a week and when they leave again they will give me more" I explained to Aliyah. "Only a week?" She responded looking at me expecting me to break down like I usually do. "It is what it is I can't change it so why bother worrying about it anymore." I stated not a care in the world.

"Your right, now let's stop being all serious for a few seconds so we can take a picture since we are finally done with that hell hole we called school." Aliyah said pulling out her phone and taking the most ridiculous picture we could have ever taken. "Aliyah, can you promise me something right now." I asked a sad expression on my face.

"Hey of course I can what is it?" Was her immediate response. "Promise me that know matter what happens we will always stick by eachother even when times get tough and out of hand we will always choose eachother over everyone and everything else." I said looking at my best friend with hope filled eyes.

"I promise that no matter what happens you will always have me I will always fight for you and choose you, you are my best friend and I would do anything for you its us against Chicago and anything else life throws our way." She said with honesty and determination.

Antonio's P.O.V

I had been in aliyah's room ever since I got home I never really came in here and right now all I can do is smile with sadness in my eyes looking at her room. She has a queen size bed with a black Pink name brand comforter set, she also had a big dresser with a huge mirror.

On her night stand was her alarm clock and near the clock was a framed picture of us when we finished up one of her training lessons at the gym, now that I'm looking around her room it's not at all messy it's spotless and she has multiple pictures of us on her wall in between some baby blue lights we are either laughing smiling or she got me off guard so I'm serious or look stupid either way we are happy non the less.

I was brought out of my little trip down memory lane when my phone started ringing. "Did you find here!?" I asked urgently not knowing who it was since I didn't even look at the caller ID. "Antonio, it's miranda I don't have much time Aliyah and I are at a warehouse not far out of Chicago's city limit." She said as if she would be caught in any minute. "Is she ok did he touch her!?" I asked sternly trying not to think of that bastard touching her. "She's fine he hasn't done anything yet but I would hurry just in case he starts to get any ideas." She said in a hushed tone.

"Thank you so much." I said already on my way out of Chicago's city limits. I had called Voight after I got off the phone with miranda and told him everything and he said and I quote "Antonio wait for backup" like is he serious I'm 100 percent sure if this was Erin he would do whatever it takes to get her back so that's exactly what I'm going to do.

I pulled up to the warehouse and got my vest out of the trunk knowing thanks to Aliyah there was atleast eight people inside the warehouse. I walked in through the back door silently praying that nobody was near by and would see me, when I entered I could see only two men guarding the door witch means they also have to be guarding the room aliyah's in but where would everyone else be? I thought as if on cue four more men came down from the second floor and going outside in a urgent matter which means they've seen my car.

As stealthy as I could be I fount myself going up the warehouse stairs but not without watching my back with every step I took. Once I reached the top I saw Chris and miranda enter a small office and by my count they make eight so while everyone is busy outside I'm in here about to get Aliyah back.

"Don't move put your hands where I can see them!" I said anger and authority held in my voice. "Chris come on did you really think I wouldn't find her?" I asked him my gun trained on him and only him. "I had a feeling you would but I also had a feeling you would come in guns blazing with no back up." He said now looking not at me but at someone behind me. Fuck it doesn't matter Voight's on his way. I thought while being handcuffed to the desk next to Aliyah.

Aliyah's P.O.V

I was sitting in this stupid office for god knows how long like would it have killed them to have a clock in her or something, well anyways I was thinking of a way to escape when Chris and Miranda walked in. "What now, I did what you wanted." I said to Chris while rolling my eyes.

"Well sweetheart someo-" He was cut of by a voice filled with anger and authority and I knew that tone of voice anywhere. Antonio Dawson baby yea that's right my legal guardian kick there ass Antonio!!! I mentally cheered him on.

That was short lived when one of Chris's guys ended up getting the best of Antonio and handcuffed him to a pole next to me, then gave me another sedative. Just great. Was the last thing that crossed my mind before I feel back into unconsciousness.

A/N: I know the kidnapping is long but I didn't want it to be like usual how they get kidnapped and then in the next chapter they find them all quick.
