(Dan's POV)

I was in my office, editing a video to post later. Jemma was out with some friends, but said She'll be home soon. My phone starts ringing, and I pick it up off my desk to see its Jemma. "Hey, Jem!" I say happily. No answer. I could hear slight breathing and glance at my screen, to make sure its Jemma. "Love.. Are you okay?" I say.

"Oh Dan! Yeah I'm fine sorry my friend was telling me something." She explains and I sit up straight. "I'll be back in a half hour. Love you!" She says and I smile. "Love you too, Jem. See you when you get back." I say. She hangs up, and I look at the time. 3:02PM. Okay. She'll be home soon. I continue to edit my video while listening to some music. I render the video, proud of my work, and look at the time.

6:00PM. Maybe she came home and I didn't hear her? I stand up, and go downstairs. "Jem?!" I call out but hear nothing. "Huh." I say aloud, and look in the kitchen, the backyard, and even the basement in my office. But didn't see her anywhere. Suddenly my phone starts ringing in my pocket, and I take it out, to see its Jemma and I sigh in relief. "Jem? Where are you, You had me scared!" I say picking it up. "Hello." I hear a voice say but it definitely was not Jemma. It was a mans voice.

"Who is this?! Where's my wife!" I say. "Oh she's right here." He says and I hear Jem say "Help!" and he says something to her. "Let her go! Or I'll kick your ass!" I say and he chuckles. "No you won't, Daniel." He says. "How do you-" he cuts me off by laughing. "I know everything about you." He says. "Now if you want your wife, you have to come and find her. Times ticking, Daniel. Now don't call the cops either, or I'll kill her" He says then hangs up. My eyes go wide as I look at my now blank screen on my phone. "What the hell.." I mumble tears filling my eyes. I need to save her... But how?

I sit in my chair, and wipe away the tears. Wait, I have a tracker on her phone just in case something like this happened. I stand up, and run down the stairs, grabbing my shoes and hurriedly putting them on, I grab my phone, and go onto the app, to see she was 15 Miles away. Not too far.. I grab my car keys and run outside to get into my car. I'm coming to save you Jemma.
