You have no idea how much times I accidentally published this chapter

We sat in silence for 10 minutes in the small café.

"How?" I asked gently, as I knew I was treading in rough waters. This is a very sensitive topic to talk about especially in Jane's situation.

"I was at my old house when.. he came and..." She said trailing off.

"Why don't you run?"

"I- I can't. He'll find me again. He will always find me. I had to beg him to let me come here and he only agreed when I told him you would be here. He knows you won't hurt me. He just wants me safe."

"Wants you safe?! He fricking kidnapped you"
I said the last part quietly as I realized that I was causing heads to turn and look in my direction.

"He just wants the best for me".

"No, Jane. Your mom, Benjamin, and Me want the best for you. He, he wants to wipe everything under the carpet and pretend like it didn't happen. But guess what? It did happen, thats why he went to jail and why your mom got you out of there and moved you here."

"Heath. I want to stay with him. He'll get Mom and we'll be a happy family again. I know he hurt us, but he didn't mean to".

"Jane, your Dad has a problem. He will keep hurting you open yourself up to it. Your in denial. I could help you, if you let me."

"Thanks for the coffee."

She said standing up, making her way for the door. I got up and followed her out of the warm, dry café into the now pouring rain. She started walking faster as she was already ahead of me. She was already down the block and turning.
I ran to keep up but the rain was blinding and soon my vision got blurred. Her figure was very faint as she disappeared into the distance.

I decided to turn around and go home. I walked slowly seeing as I was already wet and me running wouldn't help.
I walked in to my house and made my way to the bathroom. I tried to take off my shirt but it kept sticking to my body. Finally, after a millennium it came off and so did my jeans.

I turned on the shower and waited until it got warm to jump in.  I hopped in and got under the stream of water. I relaxed after the warm water cascaded over my body. I sighed and thought about what happened today.

1: Jane admitted to being kidnapped by her father

2: Jane has developed some type of connection to her father and doesn't want to see what he's doing is wrong.

What do I do?

I know the obvious answer is to help her but how?

If I tell anyone about this she'll be in more danger than she already is. And I cant do this myself, I don't even know where she is right now.

My phone rang snapping me out of my thoughts.

Or do I?

A smile crept its way on my face as I hatched a plan in my head.

Don't worry Jane, I'll help you.

I got out of the shower and dried my self with my towel. I made my way to my room and pulled on some pajamas.

I checked my phone and saw that Jane tried to call me.

I went to the app "Find My Friends" on my Iphone and clicked on it. It showed that Jane's location was pending.

After about 2 minutes it loaded and I clicked on it.

In a matter of seconds a map popped up showing me directions to her location.

My phone then dinged shortly followed by a vibration. I looked at my phone and was completely dumbfounded by what was on the illuminated screen;

Jane has went offline.
