Chapter one: How they got from there to here.
For the Stevens family today was a normal Friday. That is until the two mothers and four kids find themselves being taken from their home. In the early afternoon hours in August. A van carrying the family pulls out of their driveway. No one knowing what had happened nor what the horror was to come.
Monday morning when the grandmother and mother didn't show up for work, nor the kids to school the grandfather was called. That was the start of a year and a half search that yelled little to nothing. Days past with no sign of what happened to them. The days turned into weeks and then into months. With no sold lead and no new information the families case was left open but, with little hope of finding them. It was now a waiting game until a new lead popped up or God for bid a body.
However, for the small family of six found themselves near the California-Mexico border. In the small town the grandmother and mother were used as slaves. The children were used as a tool to keep them in line mostly. A few times the family tried to get away but, failed. That all changed one warm spring morning.
The mothers found a way to get the children safely out. After a few more days of planning the two woman found out how to get themselves out as well. Two days later they made their break. The family had been running at night and hiding in the day for two days when they found a small garage to hide in.
It was early morning the darkness was just giving way to light when two men left the home beside the Stevens family hiding spot. One of the men saw movement in the small garage that was only used for work space now. Without calling attention to himself he slowly made his way over to the side door to see what was happening. While the other man stood where he had been and continued to talk to his partner as if he was standing in front of him. What happened next surprised both men and the woman herself.
The kids and grandmother were taking a short nap with Michelle the mother standing guard. As the first man came around the door Michelle used what energy she had left to flip the man and pull his own gun on him. The man was bigger then she herself was but, the element of surprise and the fear for her family had given her all the strength she needed.
The sound of his partner hitting the hard driveway was not something Charlie was use to.
"Cole is everything alright?" Charlie asked quickly making his way to the door that he had seen Colby go into. The site of his husband laying on the ground with a woman holding a gun on him was what he expected to find!

What happens now? Does Michelle shot Colby and Charlie out of fear for the family? Can they talk her down? More to come soon.
