Chapter 1: The Fife Family
Out of the five women on the street with young children, Anna was by far the most over protective. Then why was it her daughter kidnapped from her own home? How did the kidnapper get through a locked and bolted door? Because Carrie, her 11 month old daughter had a small, very well secured window. It had been locked from the inside. How on earth had anyone gotten in without her knowing? She hid her face in her husband, Andrew's chest. Squeezed her eyes shut tightly.
When the police had first questioned them, she had been furious at him. Where had he been? Working the Graveyard shift; again. She was stuck at home, frightened and paranoid as usual. She'd even fallen asleep on the couch with a knife under the couch cushion. She'd been like this ever since she'd been mugged and almost raped three years prior. Now she was only thankful he was here to protect her, and he was the only one who seemed to truly understand how distraught she really felt.

The knock at the door didn't come as a surprise. Since her daughter's disappearance, many, many people had turned up. Police, Lawyers, Friends, Family even a Psychologist had turned up, wanting to speak with her. So when she opened the door to, two people dressed in business suits, she didn't bat an eyelid, just opened the door. She led them into the lounge and collapsed onto the couch next to Andrew, curling her feet underneath her, she leant against him. The people sat down across from her. The woman had an impassive face, the man's face had many worry-lines, and he smiled empathetically at them. Straight away, I warmed more to him, than the cold woman.
"I'm Agent Mulder, and this is Agent Scully, we're from the Federal Bureau of Investigation." He leant forward and awkwardly shook Andrews's hand. Anna kept her hands limply resting in her lap. The woman Agent -- Agent Sully or whatever her name was... Shook Andrew's, smiled stiffly and sat up straight again, ready for business.
"We're here to investigate the abduction of your daughter, Carrie." Agent Mulder told them. "And we hoped we could ask you a few questions?" She knew that she had tears pouring down her face again. The woman Agent, Sully or was it Scully? Leant forward and took Anna's hand, squeezing it. She felt a little less apprehensive towards her now.
"We want to help you; we want to find your daughter for you. We understand how hard it is for you." Agent Scully sat back, her face now showed only sympathy.
"D-do you have children, Agent Scully?" Anna looked at them both. They didn't really sit like a couple. She'd seen the possessive way Agent Mulder had led Agent Scully into the lounge behind me, but she didn't think they were a couple. "What about you Agent Mulder?"
"Hunny, let's just-" Andrew sighed. "Let's just hurry up and get this over with." He said quietly. She nodded. The Agents asked few questions. Agent Mulder asked the strangest questions, such as -- did you see any strange lights? She just shrugged it off; he was probably just testing her or something. Before they left, Agent Scully turned back around, and asked the dreaded question.
"Is there someone who would have a grudge against you?" How many people over the past week had asked them that? Andrew just gave her a curt 'No.' and he shut the door on them. She had an impulse to just fall on the floor, and never get up again. What had happened to her baby? What had happened to her precious Carrie?
A/n: The sign language thing is real. I actually know a few mothers now (including my aunty) who teach their children sign-language as a way to communicate as well as talking. My baby cousin is so gorgeous when she's asking for her Mommy! Please review and let me know what you think!
