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.
Welcome to the final chapter of this crazy life I was living in, well I have a few things I'm gonna need to tell you and different times to take you to. Let's start with Anthony shall we? Well after he got arrested there was this huge investigation, I got questioned near fifty different times. They had to keep going over what happened and what I saw, I knew it was just because they wanted him to pay for everything he done, so they needed to know everything that happened. Court was the hardest thing for me though, it lasted for a few months where I'd have to sit and watch him try to defend his actions. This is the only place I won't be taking you to as it doesn't hold many happy memories, but I will tell you his sentence, he got three life sentences for the murders of Tammy, his mother and Nicole. He got a few more long sentences for the robb
"He's gonna make us go back with him" I say beginning to cry, but Blake holds me tightly. "He's never getting anywhere near you ever again" he whispers looking over at Anthony, I finally turn seeing a really injured Anthony stood there "you need to leave, you aren't getting anywhere near any of the girls again" Blake shouts, causing Anthony to look directly at us, I bury my face into Blake's arm as soon as he does. "And who the fuck are you?" Anthony asks, I could tell by his voice he was getting angry and that's where trouble starts. "Me? I'm Blake, Freya's real boyfriend" Blake says smiling, I turn to Anthony who looks beyond annoyed, he moves to his back pocket where I knew what he liked to keep there.
I couldn't believe my eyes, Adam was stood not even five foot away from me. I didn't know if I was hallucinating now, he takes steps towards me but like on instinct, I take steps away from him. "Freya it's okay, I'm gonna get you and Amelia out of this" he says, holding his hands out as he spoke, but I continue to walk backwards. "But Anthony killed you, I-I heard the gunshots" I mange to say, still walking backwards a little, it's either I'm going mad or seeing a ghost, because Anthony even acted as though he killed him after. "He took me out the back to kill me, I made it out like he did but he didn't" he starts to explain, I have to stop walking backwards as I'd walk into the road "I knew I needed to help you but I couldn't yet, so I would sit and wait until the time
Out wobbles a hurt looking Anthony, he had blood dripping down his face, what looks like a hurt arm and well like I said, looking wobbly. "Freya come here we need to leave" he says, gesturing for me to come over to him with his hand, the guy puts the phone to his ear. "Yes police please" he says turning away, Anthony looks up telling the guy to hang up the phone "it's alright mate, I'm gonna send someone to come help, yeah hello-" the guy turns but Anthony hits him around the side of the head, causing the guy to stop to the floor immediately. "Anthony!" I shout shocked, he takes my arm beginning to pull me away from the guy and into the maze of trees ahead "Anthony we need to get help you're hurt" I say, but he doesn't listen as we enter the maze of trees.
It's the next morning since I spoke with Blake on the phone, Anthony slept all night and woke up telling me it was the best sleep he's had in months. Which I think meant I was in the clear, it seemed like he hadn't spelt in days so he probably would have put it down to that. I was sat in the kitchen staring at the door to the mystery office, when I hear a phone ringing, Anthony walks down the stairs picking his mobile off the side sending me a smile walking out. I continue to stare off into space when I hear Anthony cursing, he runs back into the room messing with things around the kitchen. He goes to the cupboard pulling a bunch of gym bags our the cupboard, without even looking in my direction he leaves the kitchen once more. Whoever was on the phone to him and what we they said has really spooked him, in minutes he was back down the stairs this time holding a confused Amelia. "I need you to get her and you re
"I don't know okay, I have no clue why your husband was looking me up! Maybe because he's just met me and he was doing some back ground checks for some reason" I start, but she shakes her head moving backwards with Amelia in her arms "okay please just put her down" I say, having to hold back tears that wanted to escape my eyes, Anthony walks behind me with his hand on my back. "He came here a day after you came, he actually hasn't left, so if you wanna see him I'd put our daughter down" he says, as I look behind me I see one of his hands were hidden behind my back, I turn a little to see he was hiding the gun. "You'll take me to him right now?" She asks him, I wanted to tell her what was maybe gonna happen, but all I could actually think about was getting Amelia back in my arms out of harms way.
