Ink pulls the car over Anthony getting out before it even fully stops telling ink to do the same, ink sighs looking down at the steering wheel he was proper scared. He finally unclips his seat belt getting out the car, Anthony shouts to me he'll just be down there before he pushes ink away so they were out of my eyeshot. I sit there for a second but it hits me I'm alone I have a chance to run with Amelia, I go to open my door but it's locked no way did he use child lock on me! I was about to climb in the front to try the front doors but the sound of the car locking stops me in my tracks, oh come on Freya did you really believe that would work? and if it did you're in the middle of nowhere, he'd find you rather easily and who knows what he'd do then.
A few minutes go by until I see Anthony walking over to the car unlocking it but he goes to the boot, I hear what sounds like water hitting the ground but before I could turn to look he had already closed the boot and climbed into the driver's seat.
"Sorry about that, we'll start getting back on track now," he says turning the car on but I soon realise we're missing a person, ink wasn't here, my dumb mouth had to question it
He looks back at me through the mirror for a second before turning his attention back to the road "he's making his own way back" was all he said
Okay maybe I shouldn't have asked cause now I'm a thousand times more scared than I was before, did he just kill ink? I mean he washed his hands with water before he even entered the car, what if he was washing the blood off his hands? Okay Freya calm down, I mean he sees you as his wife and has actually said he would never hurt you, so just play along with whatever this is until you're rescued.
Hey, it's me again future Freya or maybe storytime Freya I don't know, anyway while all the missing ink was going down for me things were getting pretty heated back at the police station. My boyfriend Blake just found out about the note I left and was demanding answers from the police, apparently, they were so afraid of him well that's what I've been told don't think that's true, I mean the only thing that's scared of Blake is the toilet after a night out.......yeah it's not a pretty sight, we're getting off-topic where were we...oh yeah the police thing, let's just say Blake wasn't happy.
Blake was pacing up and down the waiting room of the police station, face-value he looked beyond annoyed but deep down he was extremely worried. He just wanted everything to go back to normal because right now he felt like he was living in a bad dream that he wasn't waking up from. Amelia's parents run in, the mother didn't look like she'd had a proper night sleep in days, how could she her month old baby was somewhere out in the world lost?
"Still no news, all they're telling me is they've found a note," Blake says looking back at them, they'd become acquaintances through this whole situation.
"They have to tell us something they can't just keep us in the dark, we have a right to know," Amelia's dad Tony says, which just makes Blake get angrier walking over to the poor guy working at the desk.
"I have been waiting here for hours for updates on my girlfriend and all you have told me is you've found a note addressed from her, you haven't told us what the note said or where it was found we have a right to know," Blake says smashing his hand on the desk in anger, making the poor guy jump back from shock "did she tell you who has them captive and you don't wanna tell us cause you don't want us to know what kind of crazed lunatic has our loved ones!," he shouts as the side door opens the lead investigator walking out looking towards Blake.
"It's not what the note says, it's the circumstances we found the note in," the officer says breaking up the fight that was about to go down.
"What's that supposed to mean?"Blake asks aiming his annoyance at the officer standing by the door, he sighs before he speaks which to Blake wasn't a good sign.
"Come through and I'll explain," he says opening the door, Blake and Amelia's parents, who were silent through this whole thing, look at each other but eventually follow him through the door and into an office.
The officer walks behind the desk taking a seat pulling a file open, Blake stood with his arms crossed putting on a tough act but he was the most scared he's ever been in this very moment.
"A few hours ago we got a call from a man saying someone held a gun to his head" the officer starts but Blake cuts in before he could really get to the point.
"What's that got to do with Freya and Amelia?" He asks inpatient to hear what the guy had to say, another officer walks in handing him an envelope before walking out.
"The man says he was just taking the rubbish out when he saw two people, a man and a young woman holding a little baby, he approached them and asked what they were doing in the old abandoned house" he explained, Blake didn't even go to speak he had a feeling this young girl was his lost girlfriend "the women didn't look up or speak, the guy ignored him and opened the back door calling her Freya, when the man said if they didn't answer he was gonna call the police the dude pulled a gun out saying to get out of his face" he continued Blake was now pacing up and down, this was Freya he just knew it, the guy even called her by her name!
"Somewhere in the conversation the man said the name Anthony which is also the name in the note we found, we just need you to verify if this is indeed Freya's handwriting," the officer says pulling the note out placing it on his desk.
This was when Blake remembered a note he keeps in his wallet from Freya, when they first met she wrote him a note with her number saying to call him, he's always kept it. He pulls the little note out walking over placing it next to the note the police found, it was nearly a perfect match.
"These look identical, with your permission I can take it to our expert so we can know for sure," the officer says looking at the two notes, Blake nods saying he can but to look after it "you can have it back maybe tomorrow, now back to what happened, after he pulled the gun out our guy ran off but hid around the corner, a few minutes later another man walked out who was identified as Anthony Richards, we are running background checks on him as we speak," he says putting the two notes into the envelope as Kate, Amelia's mum, speaks up who has been silent the entire time.
"Now you know who this guy is can't you go to his address and get him?" She asks thinking logically, but the officer shakes his head.
"The thing is, this guy is well trained he's kept no paper at all, that's why the background checks are taking this long, it's like the guy doesn't exist, I wish I could tell you this will all be over soon but I would be lying, we're dealing with some clever criminals," the officer says which makes Kate start to cry again, hearing the news that her baby girl won't be home anytime soon is breaking her and for Blake, he was just happy that his Freya was still alive out there just waiting to be rescued.
Maybe Blake did scare one person, the guy at the front desk, well not scared just made him jump. The lead officer man was right, this was gonna take a long while and things got crazy especially Anthony, he went crazy. I'd strap yourself in, this is about to be a crazy ride.
A few long hours in the car go by, the very silent car might I add, I don't know what to say to this guy who I think just killed somebody, if not seriously hurt him. We turn the corner onto a very posh looking street, we drive for a little while longer passing grand houses, he turns driving up the driveway of a very nice looking house, wait he lives here?! "Home" he smiles turning the car off looking back at me "this is where our family's gonna be happiest" he smiles getting out the car coming to my door to open it helping me out, just as someone from across the fence starts talking. "Anthony, it's lovely seeing you again it's been a very long time" a woman says standing on her side of the fence, I unclip Amelia carrying her out the car as Anthony puts his hand on my back. "Yes I know it's been while,
I'm woken up by loud bangs on the front door, I jump awake to see Anthony fast asleep in bed how the heck is he sleeping through that? Amelia starts to cry in her coat beside me which finally woke him up, so he doesn't wake up to the loud banging on the front door but does to a tiny baby cries, this guy is strange. "Wait here doll" he speaks with a rough voice from sleep, he jumps out of bed taking a handgun from the bedside table walking out. I don't like how accessible weapons are in this house, I quickly get out of bed trying to comfort a scared Amelia who I managed to get to fall back to sleep. I slowly move to the door opening it to hear talking. "Why the fuck would you bang on my door like that?!" Anthony asks angrily the sound of the door slamming fills the
Around an hour later we were in the car on our way to the shops, Anthony said we can't stay long cause he has to get back to his work soon, so we have a list we have to follow. I didn't mind I just needed to get out so people would see my face and hopefully do something, before we left I wrote on a little piece of paper explaining what's happened hoping I'd be able to give it to someone to help me. Once we arrive at the shop he places Amelia in one of those baby trolley things, taking my hand pulling me to walk closely next to him his hand keeping me there. He hands me the list so both of my hands were doing something, but it was as though he didn't need the list, he was walking down the aisle getting the items in order, did he memorise this before we left or something? We were basically done with the shopping, as we walk down the final aisle I spot a worker stacking a shelve which I knew was my last chance to get help, I place my hand on Amelia
We arrive home from the supermarket where Amelia and I are ushered into the house, I was just out in a supermarket but he makes sure to keep me away from his neighbours, what is this guys deal? He instructs me to deal with Amelia while he deals with the shopping, as loud knocks from the front door causes him to freeze. My first thought was that it must be ink but than I remember, the note I left for the unsuspecting supermarket worker. Anthony seems to move me away from the view of the front door where I'm pushed into a corner, as the knocks on the door get louder. "Doll, you need to listen to me, take Amelia upstairs and get her ready for bed but do not come down until I come up okay?" He asks but I knew it wasn't a question I had zero choice in the matter, I nod quickly as male voices start shouting from the door "go on then doll" he half smiles basically pushing me up the stairs as more voice sound from the
I lay on the bed with Amelia just staring at her, maybe this is gonna be our lives now just stuck with this man. I really thought this would be over when she told me she knew, but Anthony always finds a way to to foil all my plans, the door opens causing me to jump and move away from Anthony who walks in with fresh clothes, he looked like he just showered. "Tammy's left, I had her see sense" he starts closing the door behind him walking towards the bed, he gently picks Amelia up placing her into her coat. Is he gonna do to me whatever he's done to Tammy? I quickly get up from the bed darting to the other side of the room, I run to the door managing to open it slightly but it's soon slammed closed. Anthony proceeds to trap me against the wall and him, I look up at him terrified while he wore the same smile on his face.
It was early the next morning, I was in the kitchen chopping some fresh melon slices, while Anthony was fixing some furniture in the back. I was a little nervous about today, I mean I wanna help him after he told me how his mother used to treat him, but there's also a part of me that doesn't for obvious reasons. I finish chopping the melon as Anthony walks in taking a piece shoving it into his mouth, I shake my head picking the remaining slices up placing them in a lunchbox for the fridge. "Thank you again for doing all this doll, I just hope she appreciates it" he sighs leaning against the counter still chewing his melon, while I put the rest of the fresh fruit in the fridge "I'm probably just overreacting it's gonna go fine, now I have you and Amelia, there is nothing she can say which will bring me down" he smiles, pulling me closer to him with his hands on my
"Mother it's nice to see you, come in" I hear him politely say, wow who knew this guy could be polite, I hear little child voice start talking walking into the house. "Little bro it's nice to see you again, especially like this all dressed up in a suit living in his amazing house" I hear a woman say, who's probably his older sister he was telling me about last night, his mother hasn't actually said anything yet. "Yes, you've finally learnt how to tie a tie, I definitely didn't see that one coming," another woman says in a posh voice, that has to be his delightful mother who, by the sounds of it, is everything he said she was. "Well it has been a lot of years mother, I have changed" Anthony replies kind of sticking up for himself, which I have to respect "but I know you'r
She walks us right over to a black car as Anthony comes bounding out the house, she begins to shout insults his way pointing acting like well a crazy lady. Neighbours start to leave their houses to watch all the commotion take place, I was in the middle, his mother's death grip on my hand still going strong. "Let go of her mother before I do something you're really gonna regret" Anthony chuckles quietly just before his sister with her sons walks out the house and over to us "Nicole you take the boys home and I'll ring you later when she's calmed down, we've been avoiding getting her help for too long" he boldly says turning to Nicole, his mother screams at him hitting his chest, okay what the actual heck is going on right now?! "Doll you go back in the house with Amelia, while I try to deal wi
