I enter the warehouse, holding my gun out in front of me. I know I have to do this right; I have to save the little girl that this sick man has taken. I have no back up, and nobody knows im here. I got a text message saying to come here, alone, and not tell anyone where I was going, or he would kill Abi. We've been searching for Abi for a day and a half after we found her parents murdered and I couldn't give up the opportunity to save her.

I turn a corner and see her curled up in the corner. I approach her slowly. "Abi?" she jumps and turns to me shaking. I kneel next to her "hi, Abi, im Olivia and im a detective. I've come to take you…away from here" she nods and moves closer to me. I hug her. "Well, well, well, I see you have found my dear little Abi." I turn to the voice, scowling. "What do you want?" I point my gun at him. "Put your gun down, your under arrest for the kidnapping of Abigail Wood and for the murder of Rebecca Wood and David Wood." The man laughed at me and pointed a gun at me. "I have very good reflexes Olivia, and I guarantee that I will shoot Abi before you could finish pulling the trigger. Now I suggest you put your gun and phone on the ground and slide them over to me." I do it quickly, knowing that he would shoot Abi like he did her parents. He unloads my gun and smashes the phone.

I try to think of a new plan. I get an idea as he tells me that he already smashed the engine of my car, so we have no chance of using it to escape. I let go of Abi and whisper something in her ear. When she nods at me I walk towards him. I nod, and Abi pushes over a pile of boxes, when he turns to look at her I kick his knees and he falls to the ground. I punch him in the face, grab Abi and run towards the exit.

I burst through the doors, Abi hot on my heels. I know he is chasing us, his pounding footsteps and booming voice not far behind us. There's a forest behind the building. I run towards that, thinking that it would be easier to lose him in there than on the long road I came here on. This warehouse is in the middle of nowhere. There's no one around for miles. I grab Abi's hand. We have to escape. Faster and faster we run, moving deeper into the forest with each passing minute. His voice sounds further away, but my mind is probably playing tricks on me. I glance back to check and see him, gaining more distance than we can put between us. I know then that he was going to capture us if I didn't change my plan.

I tug on Abi's hand, forcing her to follow me as I come off the track and into the awaiting trees. The branches rip at our clothes, tearing them with their claws as we speed by. This is working better. We are smaller and more agile than the man chasing us, who is having trouble running through the trees. I turn to my Abi, who is red in the face and is breathing heavily. We have to stop soon or she will collapse, her weak 5-year-old frame too fragile to handle much more running. I open my mouth to suggest stopping and hiding for a while when I hear something that makes me change my mind.

BANG! The shot rings out, loud and clear. I pull Abi down beside me as we fall to the ground. He has obviously given up on the hope of capturing us so has decided to kill us instead. My whole body filled with anger towards this man. He had kidnapped Abi, a sweet innocent child, killed her parents, molested her and is now trying to kill her. I get up slowly and help Abi up. She is sobbing uncontrollably, fat tears rolling down her face. BANG! BANG! BANG! Abi jumps beside me with each shot, whimpers bubbling out of her. I hug her close to me, and whisper in her ear, trying to calm her down.

Her sobs start to subside. I bend down to look at her. "I know you're scared" I say softly, the words almost inaudible. "I am to, but you've got to listen to me, okay sweetie?" She nods her head. "We've got to keep moving, but you have to be quiet. We don't want them to hear us, do we?"

"No, I can be quiet" she says and shakes her head vigorously. She puts her finger on her lips. I nod once and we set off once again.

We keep walking towards what I hope is the end of the forest. She is tired, hungry and weak and I know that she won't go on much longer. There haven't been any more gunshots. Im not sure if that's a good sign or not. Maybe they have given up again. 'Don't get your hopes up!' I tell myself as we wander aimlessly through the forest. 'They could just be saving ammo.' My mind begins to argue with itself. 'Someone would have heard the shots, help will be here soon.' The calm, sensible part of my brain says. 'You are going to die! No one will ever find your body this deep in the forest!' the scared, irrational part screams at me.

I am torn between the two sides. Who am I going to believe? I am stuck in the whirlwind of my own mind, tormenting myself to the point of insanity. "Can we stop now, Olivia, I'm sleepy." The sound of abi's tiny voice shakes me out of the nightmare that is my thoughts.

I hadn't noticed that Abi was trailing behind me, trying not to fall asleep. She has been awake for 72 hours already. "Sorry honey, but I don't think that's possible right now." a person appears behind me, gun in hand. I turn to him, Abi cowering behind me. "You sick bastard, I hope you rot in hell." I sneer at him. He raises his gun to my heart. I push Abi further behind me. "Touching. Now say goodbye detective, after I've dealt with you I think me and Abi can have some more fun." I blanch at his words. "Please leave her alone." I whisper over and over. His finger starts to pull the trigger. I close my eyes.

"Olivia? Liv? Are you awake?" I open my eyes. 'El? Why are you here? Where am I? Where's Abi? Is she okay? Did you get the guys that attacked her? I ramble on to Elliot. I sit up and try to climb off the bed. "Whoa, whoa, calm down, Liv. You were shot in the chest twice. You flat lined three times, you're not going anywhere" I look down at my chest in shock. "I don't remember that, I mean I remember that he was going to shoot me but I don't remember getting shot. Did Abi get shot?" I ask, panicked. Elliot shakes his head. "No, you blocked the shot, which is why you were shot twice." I breathe out, relieved. "I can bring Abigail to you if you want." He says. I nod excitedly. "Please do…wait one more thing, how did you find us?" Elliot walks to the door and opens it. "Someone heard gunshots and called the police, we got in a helicopter and flew over the forest, thinking we'd find Abigail and saw you get shot. Swear to god, one of the scariest moments of my life. I thought you had died, Liv." I stare at him. Tears cloud his eyes. "Im fine el, I didn't die." He smiles weakly at me "I know." He shuts the door behind him.

The door opens. "Olivia!" a voice says as a small blur slams into my bed. I sit up slowly and hug her gently. "Careful Abi, my chest is starting to hurt a bit," I say into her hair. She backs away immediately. "Im sorry Olivia." I smile at her. "Its okay sweetie, you didn't hurt me" she hugs me again. Suddenly the door slams open. Standing in the doorway is a person I hoped I would never have to see again.
