Lost Then Found

Lost Then Found (23)

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S MISSING?!" He lost it! I've seen him like this a few times only when he's really angry.

"Ma'am what happened today when you realized that your daughter was missing?" The officer asked Stefanie.

"I dropped her off at soccer practice and when I went to pick her up, the coach said she was already picked up. So I called John to ask him if he had her and as you can see he didn't. I knew Ben was getting ready for his date so it couldn't have been him. So I called Becca, and nobody we know picked her up from practice! I don't know where she is! She doesn't even have her jacket! What if she's cold!? What if a predator picked her up?!?" She became hysterical as John sat next to her comforting her.

"Well we talked to the coach and we are looking for a middle aged male, 6'2 or 6'3, probably in his forties, blonde hair, scruffy beard, and glasses. They left in a black Range Rover. Let us know if you get anything."

It was five o'clock in the morning, everyone was at my house. John and Stefanie got a guest room, but I'm pretty sure they did no sleeping. Most of the morning they stayed in the kitchen conversing with Mom and Lucas. Then Lucas went to sleep, then my mom, then Stefanie and John. Bennie and I were up in my room trying to sleep. Bennie stayed up until I fell asleep. I was having nightmares about Jamie. Where she could be, who she could be with.. I kept jumping out of my sleep from the same nightmare- she is tied up, blindfolded in a dark cold room, calling my name asking for my help. By the third time I jumped up, Bennie and I just decided to stay awake we went downstairs to get tea, I made breakfast because he just couldn't. It was 7:30 in the morning and I was terrified, angry, worried, and depressed.

And then, my phone pinged. I got an email that read "say hello". It had an attachment and when I opened it, I burst into tears, collapsing to the floor. Bennie ran to me and picked me up. The attachment was a video of Jamie tied up and to my surprise Marcus was tied up there also. They were locked in a small metal room, no windows, blindfolded. The person taking the video, said "Say hello to Sam guys." he used a voice changer so I couldn't recognize the voice. The video zoomed into Jamie's face and I was just bawling. "Sammie please help me. I'm scared." I heard her helpless scared little voice calling for my help and it killed me that there was nothing I could do to save her. The detectives tried to trace the sender of the email but they couldn't. How did this sick person know my name in fact, my nickname or my email?! Who would do something like this?! She didn't do anything to anyone!

~~~~

I watched the video over and over and over again. My guilt, playing over and over and over again. She called MY name. She pleaded for MY help. So yeah, I watched the video again and again until I found something to help us find her.

And that's when it hit me. While I looked at the video, I noticed that the doorknob was a baseball. And immediately I knew. There was only one door that I ever saw that was like that.

"They're at the Batting Cages downtown." When we were going out, Marcus took me to the Batting Cages for our first date, and that room they're in is the equipment room- where the bats and helmets were. I explained that to everyone and we all left. Mom went with Lucas, Stefanie with John, and Bennie and I together.

The SWAT team were just filing into the place. The detective slapped the paper down and said "We have a search warrant." Everyone went to the "Equipment Room" and saw that the equipment was outside with some bogus note saying that the room needed cleaning. The doorknob was definitely in the shape of the baseball. The team barged in the room. When they brought Jamie out, everyone started crying... She ran to her parents. and then ran to me and Bennie.

"You came."

"Of course I did. I love you so much little girl, you know that?"

"Of course I do." She wiped my tears.

When they brought out the person in handcuffs, I saw red. I saw blood from her nose after I punched her. The adrenalin took over me and I was being held back by three officers and so was Stefanie, when we realized that it was Alysha. She was the one who took Jamie. I wanted to kill her! Bennie was blank. He didn't snap out of it until he heard me screaming.

"I hope you die in jail bitch! IF NOT I'LL KILL YOU MYSELF!!" he grabbed me from the police and I started bawling into his arms. When Marcus walked out, he saw me hugging Bennie and saw when he kissed me and he lost it!

"OH SO YOUR A COUPLE NOW?! YOU LEFT ME FOR HIM?!" This shocked us all. I mean, you were just a victim of kidnapping and the thing that you're angry about is my relationship status? That's very confusing.

"YOU WILL REGRET THIS SAMANTHA SLONE!! I'LL MAKE SURE OF IT!" He just kept ranting but we didn't pay him any mind. We took Jamie home and I slept over at Bennie's house because I was worried about him. When we saw that it was Alysha, he did nothing. He was so shocked, that he did and said absolutely nothing. And that scared me. He held in his pain. I was laying with him and out of nowhere he started crying. He cried himself to sleep.
