DISCLAMER: I do not own the characters of the show I only own those that I created.

This is the first time I have let anyone read my writing outside of a few select friends, that being said all errors are mine and mine alone. So please leave a review.

This is also the first time I am writing in present tense.

Chapter 1: Taken

A young woman is mowing the front yard of a small house. She is wearing black sweatpants, a tee-shirt, and a ball cap that makes it hard to tell if she has dark hair or if her hair is darker because of sweat. Dark sport sunglasses cover her eyes from the midday sun. The wires to her headphones are barely visible before they disappear beneath her plain black tee.

She is too far in her own little world pushing the mower to notice the tall, dark haired man walk up her driveway. She gets finished with the front yard, releases the mower in the driveway, and heads inside. The man comes up behind her, covers her mouth, yanks her headphones off and tosses her phone that was connected to the headphones onto the ground.

With his hand firmly still placed over her mouth he lifts her up and carries her to his car parked across the street. As he drives away a young voice can be heard out of the phone screaming, "Mommy! Mommy, where you go? Mommy!"

A week later a dark blue car turns into the driveway. Upon noticing the mower in the middle of the driveway the driver almost forgets to put the car in park before jumping out. A tall man in a work suit runs up to the mower and sees the headphones and phone lying on the pavement. He runs his fingers through his dark hair before he picks up the phone and tries to turn it on. With the phone dead he shouts, "Freddie! Laura! It's Detective William, are you here? Freddie!"

He runs up to the side door and attempts to open the door, the handle turns easily. He pulls out a gun before he walks slowly into the house. Again he shouts, "Freddie! Laura! Is anyone here? It's Detective William."

With that call one of the cabinets in the kitchen under the counter start to slowly open. The detective turns his body and aims his gun at the moving door. A little boy climes out from the cabinet and the detective puts his gun away as he approaches the boy and asks, "Where is your mom, Freddie?"

Freddie looks at the detective, shrugs and says, "Jenjen will save us again."

Freddie repeats it like a mantra as he turns around and climbs back into the cabinet. The detective turns and checks the rest of the house finding nothing until he gets to Laura's room. There is an envelope with 'Detective William' written in permanent marker covering most of the front. He opens the envelope and dumps the contents on the bed. A letter, and envelope, and a business card falls out. He picks up the letter and reads it:

Detective,

If you found this then I didn't show up for our meeting. If Freddie is still here then I want you to keep him safe until I am found. If he isn't then look for him alive and my body. He might find me and if he did then only JenJen can save us. By all means try to find me but the card holds the key to scaring my captor. Give yourself a time limit before you start looking for me, please. After that time has come and you haven't called you must call them. Make sure Freddie knows JenJen will save us again.

Thanks for giving me someone to trust,

Laura

He picks up the envelope and it reads 'JenJen' so he puts it in his back pocket. He then picks up the business card and writes on the back '3yrs 2mo then call'.
