Stone Cold Heart

♡ Chapter 28 ♡

I was feeling so nervous right now. Then I finally knew who did it. Scott. I opened up the message I didn't open this morning. When I did it read "Now say goodbye to your kids Princesa"
My heart sank. I started to cry as I pounded my fists on the steering wheel. My still healing hand was now numb, at how angry I was at myself, for now, reading between the lines. I can't believe I lost them! How dare I turn my back for a second?! I cried for almost 5 minutes straight. No, I'm not going to blame myself. Ima get them back. Even if it means risking my life for them.
I wiped my tears and got myself together. Then I turned back around to the OPD station. I went to the computer at my desk and just as I was going to log into the system a hand touched my shoulder. I jerked my head fast and pushed the hand away cringing as I said "Don't touch me!"
I looked up and saw that it was Katrina I immediately tried to apologize but then she said "It's fine. What you doing here I thought chief said for you to go?" she asked
"Um....this is important I have to take care of something"
"And what is it?"
"Just have to do something quickly. My um phone is lost"
"Your phone?"
"Yeah you know I am forgetful"
"Oh, okay well I'm gonna be in the break room"
"Okay"
When she left, I logged into the system to track Mac's iPhone 7, in case plan A didn't work out. It says that her phone was just outside of town. I typed the location into my phone. Then right there I clicked on the phone number Scott was texting me from. There was no answer. But the operator said "The person you are trying to reach is unavailable. This phone is no longer in service". I wanted to cry. But I stood hopeful. I called Mackenzie's phone. It rang three times them I heard Mac whisper "Mommy"
"Baby girl, where are you?" I said in a panic.
"We're in a warehouse"
"Where?"
"I don't know"
"I'll get y'all I promise baby," I said sniffling.
"Mom I- got to go he's coming back" I still heard what was going on through the phone.
"What the fuck are you hiding?!" I heard Scott yell at Mac. She immediately said with a stutter "N-nothing daddy"
"Don't you fuckin lie to me! Move!" he yelled in an even angrier tone. She didn't and suddenly I heard a thump then a smack. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I tried to keep quiet so she wouldn't get worse. Suddenly I heard the devious voice I've grown to hate, say "You should have read that message princess"
"Where the hell is my children?!"
"Oh, I can't tell you that my doll"
"Please why are you doing this to me what do you want from me?!"
"I want us to be a family again"
"No, I left for a fuckin reason."
"And now I'm taking them for a reason. I want you"
"I swear to god when I get you, I'm gonna-" I didn't get to finish my sentence before the line disconnected. So, plan B it is. I grabbed my hat and left. On my way to the place I called Chassidy
"Where are you?"
"I'm going to go get my kids?"
"What! How did you find where they were?"
"I'm a police officer. Remember? I tracked Mac's iPhone chip and found where it is. Then I tried to call him but it didn't work so I called Mackenzie's phone and she picked up. I found out that she and Mason were in this warehouse. But then when Scott came back..." I had to take a second because I was about to cry. As I sniffled, I continued "He hurt her...then when I asked him why he was doing this he said he wanted me."
"Where are you now?"
"In the middle of nowhere. Chass track my phone but send me backup"
"Okay"

Before I got to hear her tell me where exactly I was the call disconnected when went to a grassy field. No no no this can't be happening! I can't find my way back! I started panicking I was in the grasslands full of dead wheat. Before I got out of the car, I put my gun in the back of me tucked under my shirt. I looked around me to check if I can get Wi-Fi anywhere but I couldn't see anything that is until a few minutes later I got 1 bar signal enough to see on the map where I was. The warehouse was right under my nose. It said I just had to keep talking forward.
So, I did and soon enough I saw the rundown warehouse. I looked around to see if I can sneak in. I found this wood that was slightly broken. I slid it open and went in. I hid behind one of the polls as I heard Scott lecturing the kids "...now Mackenzie when I call your mom again you better not say a fuckin word or your throat will be mine."
I peeked to see that both of them were tied to a wooden post and Scott had their mouths duct-taped. Mac peeped me; I could tell by her eyebrows raised. I turned away hiding again trying to shuffle my way closer to Mason who was tied up to the post. When I got into the back of him, I was carefully untying him without looking. He just knew it was me I can feel it. When I was almost done untying him, I heard my phone go off. The next thing I knew I was knocked upside the head with a gun and everything went dark.
