          Nikki woke the next morning today Victor's lips against her ear, "Good morning My Baby" she moaned as she turned over to face him, "Good morning my life." their lips melted together. "How did you sleep?" He asked. "Wonderful considering there wasn't a four year old latched onto me all night." She laughed sitting up. "Where are you going? Stay." He pleaded. "I'm going to get Princess." "Trust me she'll come in when she's ready." He pulled her back down."okay if you insist." She sighed resting her head on his chest. "Don't you wish we could stay like this all day?" He kissed her hair. "Yes I do but we have things we need to do." "Like what?" "You have to go to the office and I promised Princess a tea party." "Oh did you now?" She nodded. "I wasn't invited." "No boys allowed." They both laughed. "She sure is something." Victor grinned. "You did a good job with her." "You mean that?" "I do" she looked up and kissed him. "Let's go get her." He said. "No I'll just call her I don't wanna get up. Nevaeh Grace!" Nikki shouted. There was no answer, "Princess!" She tried again. "Well that's odd." "Maybe she's really sleeping." Victor chuckled. "If she sleeps like you then she might be." Nikki said getting up and putting on he robe. "You hurry back joe my love." "Don't sorry I will." She smiled as she made her way down the hall to Nevaeh's room. She opened the door slowly and stepped inside, "Nevaeh?" The bed was unmade but she was nowhere to be found. "Nevaeh?" She said again looking in the closet. Nikki began to panic, she stepped into the hall and called down the stairs, "Nevaeh come out right now!" "What's the matter?" Victor asked coming out of the master bedroom. "She's not in her room." Nikki panicked. "Well maybe she's downstairs. Come on." He took her hand and they went together. The two of them searched the entire house and there was no sign of the little girl. "Would she have gone to the stables?" Nikki asked. "No she knows she's not allowed." Victor told her. "Victor she's a Newman she won't do as she's told." Nikki huffed. "Sweetheart I'll have the hands look but I'm sure she's not there." "Then where is she!?" "I don't know. Call Nicholas and Victoria." "Victor" she said her voice shaky "she's gone." "What do you mean?" "Someone has taken her!" "How do you know?" His eyes fell to where hers were, on the floor by the front door was Nevaeh's stuffed horse. "She never goes anywhere without it." Nikki said tears slipping down her cheeks. "Call the children." Victor ordered as he ran outside. He began to look around the side of the house, he notice the ladder propped up right to Nevaeh's window. "I'll be damned." He pulled out his phone bad called all the stable hands to check the property. He went back inside to find Nikki on the couch fluting the stuffed animal. "There's a ladder leading right up to her window." He told her. "I called the kids they haven't seen her." Nikki sobbed. "Come here" he pulled her up and held her tight. "We're going to find her. I'll do everything in my power to find the son of a bitch who took our daughter."
      Nick pulled into the ranch driveway just in time to see Victoria getting out of her car. "Hey Vic" he called rushing to her. She hugged her brother, "I've never heard Mom so scared." Victoria said. "I know. Avery's pretty shaken up. She's trying to be strong for Champ and Faith though." "Nick who would do this? Sharon's in prison and Deacon is dead." "Our parents have a lot of enemies over the years Vic, between the two of them it could be anyone." "But to take it out on a child? She's 4 years old Nick." "I know. Whoever did this is one sick son of a bitch." Nick took his sister by the arm and they went inside. Victor stood by the fireplace talking to Paul and a few other officers. "Dad" Nick exclaimed waking over with Victoria close behind "any news?" "No son" Victor replied. "Where's Mom?" Victoria asked looking around. "Abby has her upstairs." "Okay I'll go up." Victoria said running to the stairs. Nick turned to his father, "Who did it?" "Nicholas if I knew I'd handle it myself." Victor snapped. "Well how did they get in?" "They used the outside ladder and picked the lock on her window." "Well why didn't you hear anything? What we're you and Mom doing that you wouldn't hear someone inside?" Victor stopped and looked at his son. "Never mind don't answer that." Nick cringed at the thought. "Son I am doing my best to find her." "Dad" Nick could tell his father was ok the verge of tears. Victor Newman rarely ever cried and when he did it was a serious occasion. "Come on" Nick took him by the arm and led him to the kitchen away from all the officers. "Son I can't loose her." Victor said just below a whisper."dad you're not going to lose her." "I just got them both together son. You should see their bond it's incredible." "I know, that's all Nevaeh talks about is Mom. We're going to find her I promise you." Victor looked into his sons eyes, "If something happens to her I'll lose you mother too." "Dad don't think like that. Now Paul is here and we'll get this sorted out." It was difficult for Nick to see his father is such a vulnerable state, he was not used to it. "You've got to be strong now Dad. If Mom sees you like this she's going to fall apart." "She already has son."
           Victoria knocked on her parents bedroom door as she opened it. "Mom?" She called as she stepped in. "She's locked herself in the bathroom and won't come out." Abby said. "And you didn't get Dad?" Victoria hurried to the bathroom door. "Mom it's Victoria, I need you to come out please." She pleaded. "She's been in there a while" Abby said "she doesn't answer." "Mom please open up. The police are here and me and Nick." Nikki sat on the other side of the door on the floor. She wanted so badly to find a bottle of booze and chug it to make the pain disappear. She heard Victoria pleading but just couldn't get up the strength to stand snd open the door. "She's gone Victoria." was all she could say. "No Mom she's not we will find her. Paul is on it right now. Please open the door." Victoria swallowed the lump in her theist, "Come on Mom I'll take you to Dad." "Dad said he didn't want her down there." Abby whispered. "At this point I'll do anything just to get the door open." Victoria snarled. Nikki held Nevaeh's horse against her chest as the tears poured from her eyes. "Get Victor" she sobbed. "Damn it." Victoria sighed. "He said not to be interrupted." "Abby, we cannot leave her in there any longer. She shouldn't be alone." "Okay okay I'll go get Dad and Nick." Once Abby left Victoria went back over to the door. "Mom talk to me." I need Victor." "He's coming Abby is getting him." "I should've let her sleep with us." Nikki sobbed. "What?" "She has been sleeping in our bed and we told her no last night." "Mom it's not your fault just open the door please." "Victor!" Nikki cried. "I'm right here what is it?" Victor entered the bedroom with Nick and Abby behind him. "She's locked herself in there and says she won't come out." Victoria replied. "Okay step aside" Victor motioned for Victoria to stand hy her siblings. "Sweetheart, I'm here open the door." Nikki sat on the cold tile floor and reached up unlocking the door. She turned to face her husband as the door opened. "I'm right here Baby." Victor said as he picked her up. Nikki hid her face in his chest so she wouldn't have to look at her children. "I don't think she's going to let me go any time soon." He said sitting in the chair by the fireplace. "Nicholas, go check up on Paul and see what he's found. Victoria talk to the ranch security and have them bring all the children to the main house. Abby, make some tea for Nikki. Nobody leaves here until Nevaeh is home safe. We are all in grave danger." Victors's orders were clear and not to be taken lightly.
