Mark's Pov

"Good morning baby girl." I walked into the kid's room expecting to see Amy but she wasn't there. "What's this?" I picked up some paper on the table.

Mark,

Please don't hate me. I am so sorry. Ryan is busting Kenny out of jail and they have been finding ways to contact me. Ryan was on the phone with me, the one that Sean is tracking. He is having me meet Brittany at the train station and she is taking me back to Kenny's. If I don't show up they will take the kids. Ryan stole William's Dino, I will try to send it back. I love you and the kids so much. I am so sorry that I am putting you through this but I NEED to keep you guys safe. I love you. Please don't come for me, he will end up hurting the kids. Please, raise them to know that I love them so much, but please come up with a lie on where I went. Don't let them know that their mother is a slut. They don't need that burden. Thank you for teaching me not every guy is a monster, and abusive. I will never forget you.

"NO!" I screamed running for my phone, I called Sean.

"Dude, what's up?"

"Amy left to go back to Kenny. Ryan is breaking him out and they threatened the kid's lives if she didn't go back. She is gone, she went to the train station."

"I am sending a team to the train station and to you. How are the kids?"

I rushed back to them, they were sitting in their cribs staring at me.

"They look fine, please Sean, he is going to hurt her. He is going to rape her please." My knees gave out sending me to the floor.

"Mark, you need to be strong. The kids need you."

"I need her, Sean, please I can't do this without her, and they are going to hurt her. Please, we need to find her."

"I am on my way to the train station, I am going to look up camera footage and see where she went. Also, the phone calls are almost done."

"It was Ryan, she said it in the letter."

"We will find him, Kenny is being moved again."

"Why can't they just let her alone?"

"I don't man, I'm sorry. Look I will call you when I have more information."

"Thanks."

We ended the call, I got up and took care of the kids. They needed to be changed and fed. I looked around the house but nothing was out of place. She knew she was going that's why she wanted me home more, why she gave everything she had last night. Just one more time is all she wanted. One more time being loved and treated like a person. And I didn't pick any of it up. I could have stopped this.

Luna crawled over to where the letter was and picked up a new piece of paper on the floor.

"What's that Luna bug?" I took the paper off of her.

My knees gave out again, they made slave profiles for the kids. That's what made her leave. I picked Luna up and grabbed my phone.

"I just got done looking at the footage," Sean said.

"They made slave profiles for the kids, she left them here."

"That explains why she went so willing. We tracked the train, it's still going so there is a chance we can catch up to them."

"Please, keep her safe. I will work on keeping the kids safe. I know a safe house that I can sneak us too."

"I'll keep you updated."

"Thank you."

I ended the call then packed up all of the bags I will need to keep my children safe. I wish Amy would have told me, we all could be safe.
