As I hugged Noah for the last time, I noticed that he didn't have his birthmark.
"This isn't Noah. Where's his birthmark? The one on his left shoulder? This isn't Noah, which means he's alive." I say happily. Dixon comes closer and looks for himself.
"You're right, I remember that he had one. I can't possibly know where he is then, we checked every hospital."
"Do you think that someone has our child?" Charles spoke up.
"Who could do that? Where's Barbara? We have to speak to her."
"She's in the ER. It looks like she has a pretty bad head injury and a broken hand." We all leave and go to the ER to see Barbara. When we get to her room, I run up to her and hug her. "Barbara Noah wasn't with you when you came in, where is he?"
"We weren't even on the train." She said, deep in thought, like she was trying to remember something.
"What do you mean you weren't on the train?" I asked.
"I was coming here to the hospital. Noah, he had a fever and I tried everything to lower it but it wasn't going down so I thought maybe I should bring him here, so I called for a taxi." She stops once again trying to remember everything.

"What do you mean coming here? You texted me and said that you were going to the playground with Noah and that you'll be taking the train!" Charles spoke up once again.
"It wasn't me, it was them, they-the taxi driver, he took a wrong turn and when I told him, he stopped the car and out of nowhere, a bunch of men got in the back sit. They took Noah and then knocked me out. I'm so sorry Charles, I shouldn't have taken him out, not without you knowing.
"It's okay at least we know he's not dead." Well, we can at least hope.
"But why kidnap Noah? He's just a child." I said trying to think of anything or anyone that would do this, but I came up with nothing.

"I'm so sorry Natalie." Barbara was definitely feeling remorseful and guilty but Charles wasn't buying it. He just told me he was going to call his lawyer and then he walked out. When he was done, I pulled him aside and talked to him.

"Hey Look, take it easy on Barbara okay? She's sad and scared. And so am I, you and everyone else here Okay? So just go easy on her." He looks away and I pulled him towards me so that he can face me.
"I-I just can't. What if something happens to him? What if they do something to our boy? I wouldn't forgive her or myself." I put my hand on his cheek and he looks down to his shoes.
"I'm scared too. It's okay to be scared, but we need to have faith, think only positive thoughts okay?" He nods and then leans his head against my hand. As we stood there, I saw Elizabeth coming and instantly pulled away from him.
