(Some of these chapters will be shorter then my normal ones)

35 hours remaining.

I kept on trying to swallow, my throat dry as anything. It had been 5 hours since Connor showed up, gave us some water and fed us bread and butter, nothing exciting.

"We- we need to tell him" I manage to get out, finding it hard to speak.

"We can't" Ross spat, his nose dripping with blood every now and again from Connors hits. "When's your boyfriend calling the police? We could do with that now"

"Oh, hold on let me ask him. Joe?!" I call out sarcastically. Looking at Ross with an annoyed expression. He just rolled his eyes as we went back to sitting in silence.

JOE'S POV

"When was the last time you saw Miss Dingle?" The police officer asked me.

"Last night, she wasn't here I woke up this morning. I've been calling her all day, it's 6pm, and no ones seen or heard from her!" I say getting stressed, I've never been so worried in my life. He asked a couple more questions.

"Okay, thank you Mr Tate, we have officers searching, I am going to head back to the station and try track her phone" the officer stood up shaking my hand "we shall contact you if we find anything." Him and his colleague left as I collapsed onto the sofa.

"What did they ask you" Graham asked entering the room.

"When I last her, did she take anything with her, to describe her car all that" I say wiping a tear. "No ones seen her today at all".

"They will find her Joe" Graham comforted me.

KENNEDY'S POV

I was getting very worried for Joe, and what must be going through his head right now not knowing where I was.

The door flew open, and Connor walked in holding a knife in his hand.

"So, we gon' talk yet?" He asked in his Scottish accent. I looked at Ross.

"We have nothing to talk about" Ross shrugged. Bad move. Connor instantly walked behind me holding the knife to my throat.

"I cant wait to run this knife straight across ya neck" he said, quickly moving the knife across the throat, missing it by a millimetre, and sliced down my arm instead, I let out a scream of pain.

"Leave her alone!" Ross shouted at him, Connor just let out a laugh. Hitting the other side of the knife against my temple, everything went black.
