Chapter 1
On a cold rainy night, thunder could be heard and lightning could be seen through out the dark sky. The weather resembled that of winter on a summer night.
The crinkling of the age old wooden stairs could be heard as she descended. With her child in her arms half asleep she made her way to the kitchen in the darkness. She could swear that the shadows where moving, but figured it was just her mind playing games with her.
As she prepared a baby bottle for her daughter, she heard glass braking. Immediately she stopped what she was doing and became quite. It sounded like it came from inside the house, but figured it was a cat or the wind blowing the trash can over. She went back to heating the bottle.
As she turned around she could swear she saw someone walking across the lawn outside. 'stop it, you're just being paranoid. Everything's ok, no one's outside.' she told herself. She turned around ready to go back up to her room, but dropped the bottle and almost her daughter as she saw a man in front of her.
He stood with a gun in one hand, as another man entered the room. Both wearing hockey masks and all black.
"Hand me the child." the second man walked towards her. He pulled the child out of her arms. "Tie her up." she was so shocked that she didn't have time to react or scream or at least put up a fight.
The man with the gun grabbed a rope and tied her hands together, forcing her out into the cool rainy night with a gun pointed to her head. Her only hope would be for someone to have seen all that has happened, but it was past midnight and the odds of someone being up at this hour looking out the window where slim to none.
She was pushed into a black car and was hit. Darkness filled her world and all she could think about was her daughters safety.
The opened road was a head of him, there was nothing for miles but the desert heat was brutal. He checked his rearview mirror 'no cops' he grinned, double checking the side mirrors. He pushed the gas pedal all the while shifting gears as the car revved up and speeded across the lonely highway.
He was in a hurry to see his wife and daughter. He'd been gone for almost a week, doing business in Nevada. He'd just opened another shop out there, business was going good and life couldn't be better.
His first stop was the restaurant.
The restaurant was different they remodeled it and it now contained a larger indoor dining area and they added a kitchen with an Italian chef to supply the food. The restaurant was now called Isabella's Italian Cuisine in honor of Dominic and Mia's mom, who loved to cook Italian food. Business was good and the restaurant seemed to get more popular by the days.
He parked his '02 Subaru WRX in the parking lot. As he got out he spotted Mia's BMW, that her husband had bought her for her birthday a year ago. He walked in through the kitchen door, making his way to the office in the back. There he spotted Mia in the office through the window and opened the door.
"Hey Vince!" Mia greeted in her usual cheery voice and big smile. "Hey, how are ya?" he took a seat in front of her. "Good, how was the trip?" she asked turning to look at him. "Everything went well, all the paper work is done and the business is up and running." he handed her some paperwork that he'd brought back with him. She took it from him slightly brushing his hand, sending chills up both there spines. They smiled softly at each other, but Mia was quick to change the subject and move on. "Um…so how's Cynthia? I called her and no one answered. I was wondering if she could help me plan Vanessa and Jessa's birthday party." Vince frowned "I haven't been to the house yet. I just wanted to drop the paperwork off, but she should be home. Last night when I talked to her she said she would wait 'till I got home to go out." he now sounded worried. "Maybe she just overslept or didn't reach the phone on time." Mia tried to comfort him. "Yeah maybe." he said unsure, then got up. "I'm gonna go, I'll see you later." "bye"
Vince walked at a hurried pace back to his car and quickly got in. Something wasn't right, Cynthia always answered the phone. He turned the car on and quickly drove out of the parking lot leaving a cloud of smoke in his wake.
He arrived to the house and parked in the driveway. He quickly got out of his car and went up the stairs two at a time. He reached the door to find it unlooked and walked in. A vase was broken on the floor and an eerie silence lingered in the house.
"Cynthia!" he called out making his way into the kitchen, dinning room, and when he didn't find her he headed up stairs. Searching every room and corner of the house he didn't find her. He kept calling out her name but silence answered back. He went outside and found her car in the garage and then walked back into the house.
As he made it into the kitchen he spotted a white piece of paper on the floor underneath the stove. He grabbed it and began to read it.
I'm back and I'm looking to settle a vendetta with all of you. As off now I have your wife and child, now you can save them by doing as you're told or you can have them killed if you try anything stupid, like trying to be a hero and coming to save them. You'll receive a call later this week, giving you instructions on what to do.
Vince was infuriated and worried all at the same time. He was trying to figure out who would do this, but there where too many emotions that he just couldn't think straight at the moment.
He grabbed the phone and dialed Mia's cell phone.
"Hello?" she answered. "Cynthia and Christina are gone, they where kidnapped." He said in a rush that Mia didn't understand all of what he had just said. "Wait slow down V. what do you mean they're gone?" "I mean they where kidnapped!" he shouted into the phone, his emotions where uncontrollable at this point. "Ok I'm going over right now." Mia hung up and Vince sat on the couch feeling sad and helpless. Tears rolled down his eyes, which was rare even for him.
Mia arrived and walked into the house finding Vince on the couch two empty bottles of beer on the floor and a third half full in his hand. "V you shouldn't be drinking." she said exasperated. She picked up the two empty bottles and head into the kitchen.
She set the bottles on the counter and found a white note sitting there. She picked it up and read it, then re-read it to make sure she didn't misread it.
"You see they took her! And I don't even know who the f-- they are!" Vince startled her. She turned around and looked at him, a hundred thoughts going through her mind as to who it could be. "We need to call the cops Vince." He frowned and glared at her, "No! I hate cops, you already know that." she sighed "but V this is serious someone threatening you and not only you but all of us. We need to help her V." "We are not calling the cops!" he said through grind teeth then walked out of the kitchen and Mia followed him. "Well we're at least going to call the guys and let them now what's up." Vince shrugged and made his way upstairs, followed shortly by a slam of a door. Mia sighed and sat on the couch, grabbing the phone and calling Leon.
"Yo! Layla are you going to get that?" he yelled from his seat on the sofa. He was watching a Spanish soap opera, that he was very into and didn't like to get distracted. "No you get it, I'm busy with your son right now." Leon groaned, but got up anyways and got the phone.
"Yeah…" he sounded annoyed. "Hi to you to." Mia replied on the other line. "Oh…hey Mi, what's up?" he went to sit back down. "Layla is busy right now, but you…" he was quickly cut off "I need to talk to you." "Oh…ok" Leon turned the T.V volume down. "Look Cynthia and Christina were kidnapped today or last night. We actually don't know at what time." "Wait….what!?" Leon sat up right away, a million questions going through his mind. "Look whoever took them left a note saying they where back and had a vendetta to settle. We're not sure as to who it could be." Mia tried to sound as calm as possible. "Ok Mi, um….well…I'll tell Lay and will head up there as soon as we can." at this point Leon sounded deflated. "Ok I'm going to call everyone else."
Next on Mia's list was Jesse and Madeline, who now lived in Chicago. She checked the time difference, making sure it wasn't midnight or something and called. The phone rang about 4 times before it was answered.
"Hello?" came a tiny sweet voice from the other line. "Hi Jessica it's auntie Mia." "Auntie Mia!" she screamed, making Mia pull the phone away from her ear quickly. "Hey, Jessica is your dad or mom around?" "Yeah hold on. Dad!" she screamed once more into the phone. For a 4 year old she had some lungs on her.
"Hey Mia what's up? How's the family?" she heard Jesse's voice. "Well, some things are happening. Um…Cynthia and Christina where kidnapped sometime last night." "What!? Do you know who it is or was there a letter left behind?" he asked. "We don't know who it is and the letter they left said that they are out to get revenge on all of us." there was silence on the other line for a minute. "Does Dom know?" Mia sighed, "No he doesn't, I'm going to call him right now. I'm just worried as to what he will do, cause Letty's still pregnant and I'm not sure if she can travel. Anyways, I'll call them and let them know." Jesse nodded as if she could see him. "Ok, I'll talk to Maddie and will see what we can do." "Ok, then I'll try doing everything from here. Talk to you later." "bye"
Mia sighed her next call was to James since it was now late afternoon and she was still at Vince's house. She hadn't left, she was too worried about what Vince would do.
"Hellooooo" came the singsong voice of her daughter Vanessa. "Hey sweetie pie, how's my little girl doing today?" "Good, when are you coming home?" "Soon honey, let me talk to daddy." "ok." she waited until her husband finally picked up. "Hey where are you at?" he immediately asked. "At V's and Cynthia's. Uh….Cynthia and Christina where kidnapped last night." she said on the verge of tears. "What do you mean? oh man, how's V doing?" "Not good…can you just come over here. I need to call my brother and tell him." she said trying to stay in control of her emotions, although somehow she knew that when she called Dom that her effort would be worthless. "Yeah baby I'll be there in a few."
Dominic was walking around the apartment picking toys up from the floor and putting them back into there appropriate bin. Although he knew that in about an hour everything would be all over the floor again. He walked into the kitchen starting coffee for himself. The phone rang and was about to get it when it stopped ringing, Letty had picked it up.
"Yeah?" she asked into the phone. "Hey Let, it's Mia." "Yeah I kinda know that." Letty said somewhat annoyed. "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." Mia teased her, Letty frowned. "What do you want? You don't normally call at 7 in the morning for just nothing." Dominic watched as Letty walked around the kitchen to the living room, he followed her. "Look let me talk to Dom yeah?" "K" Letty handed the phone to Dominic and head to her daughters bedroom to check on her.
"Hey Mia." Mia quickly started crying hard into the phone. "What's wrong Mia?" Dominic's concerned voice filled her ears. "Dom, someone…someone…kidnapped…" the sobbing continued and Dominic only got worried and concerned. "Wait…what…who got kidnapped? Mia?" she stopped sobbing once more to try and explain. "Cynthia and Christina." Dominic rubbed his chin and then his forehead. Mia finished explaining the events and the letter.
Letty watched Dom as he talked on the phone and could tell that he was stressing. He hung the phone up and just sat there in complete silence.
"What's wrong?" Letty asked him from across the room on the sofa she was sitting on. "Cynthia and Christina were kidnapped and I don't know who it could have been." he sighed weary showing in his eyes and face. Letty was socked, but kept quiet about it, instead she rubbed her belly. "So what are you going to do?" she finally asked. Dom looked up at her, "I don't know, um…I think I need to go over there, but I cant leave you here alone." she frowned "I can take care of myself." she protested right away, but Dom wasn't in the mood for her stubbornness. "I don't care Let! I'm not leaving you here by yourself!" he said through grinned teeth, trying hard to not unleash his anger on her.
She looked at him with her big brown eyes, that made his heartbreak. He went over to her and sat next to her giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Look I'm going to figure out what we're going to do, ok. I'm just…I don't know, I'm stressing." he tried to comfort her as much as possible.
