No access

"Ashton." I said. "Go faster."

"I'm trying." He said. "I can't find anything about their will."

I looked away from him and back at the tv when a scream broke through the silence. I watched the man make another cut on Ashley's stomach causing her to scream again before she rammed her knee in between his legs, knocking him to the ground instantly.

"You'll regret that later." He muttered, jamming the knife into her arm this time. He twisted it around before dropping it on the ground. He slammed the door behind him as he left.

Ashley kicked her shoes off before using her feet to pick up the knife. She brought it closer until she was able to grab it. After cutting the rope from around her torso she placed the knife between her teeth and cut the rope on her wrists.

"I found something!" Ashton exclaimed.

"What is it?" Ashley asked, kneeling in front of the camera.

"Your parents aren't dead." Ashton said.

"What? Yes they are! I watched them die! That guy killed my parents." She yelled.

"I know, I know. What I meant to say was they were never pronounced dead. As far as anyone knows they're still alive." He clarified.

"Meaning what?" Nick asked.

"Meaning there's no way for you to access their money or property. There's no way for you to give Vincent what he wants." Ashton explained.

"What am I suppose to do?" Ashley whispered.

"Don't worry Ashley. We're gonna get you out of there." I said. "I promise."

"Do you have any idea where you are?" Calum asked.

"None." She answered. "I was knocked out."

"Wait Ash." I murmured. "Look under the chair. There's a piece of paper."

Ashley looked to where I showed her before going over and grabbing it. I saw her eyes widen as she read over it.

"California." She whispered. "I'm in California."

"Does is say where?" I asked.

"The flight landed in San Francisco but I doubt they stayed there."

Before I could reply the door opened and the man from earlier came in. He took the ropes again and restrained Ashley with them.

"Where are you taking me?" She asked.

"You got yourself in a lot of trouble with Vincent." He replied.

"I can tell you about my parents stuff." Ashley yelled.

He paused as he waited for her to explain. She adjusted herself, wincing as the rope rubbed her open wound.

"No one has access to any of it because you're the only people who know their dead." I could see that she was struggling to hold back tears.

"Then you're not leaving until you find a way to get it." He said. With that he threw her over his shoulder and left the room.

"I just bought plane tickets." Ashton said.

"How many?" I asked.

"5." Ashton said. "Us four and her brother."

"Thank you." Nick breathed out.

"Flight leaves in 3 hours." Ashton stated. "And I just got the location where this is being filmed from."
