Four-year-old Shawnie was allowed to play in the backyard while his mommy was busy cleaning the house. It was always easier to clean the house when her hyper active little man was busy playing in his sandbox outside.

Today Maddie was busy vacuuming the living room; Shawn had decided to see how far fruit loops could fly at breakfast.

She never heard her son yelling for help.

Shawn was in his turtle shaped sand box playing when he was grabbed from behind. He screamed for help but before he knew it he was being thrown in the back of a dark van. He hit his head when he was thrown in and he went unconscious.

The man who grabbed him jumped in the van next and told the driver to drive off. The kidnapper bound Shawn's feet and hands before he woke up.

Maddie just got done with the vacuuming and decided to go out and check on Shawn. He wasn't in his sandbox and when she walked around the corner she saw one of his shoes lying on the ground and it looked like someone grabbed the rose bushes around the gate.

She prayed that Shawn was just being, well Shawn, she ran around the house screaming her sons name but nothing. She ran inside and called her husband.

Henry was at his house within five minutes he ran in the house to see Maddie. She was curled up on the couch holding the shoe that she found in the yard.

Henry sat on the couch next to his catatonic wife and with all the strength he had he calmly asked her what happened. Maddie looked at her husband with tear filled eyes and said, "Shawn was being a real handful today he threw his cereal all over the loving room carpet so I sent him to burn off some energy in Mr. Turtle and vacuumed. I never heard anything. Oh God Henry, I sent him outside because he was getting on my nerves and now he is gone. Oh God." With that she was inconsolable.

Henry rubbed his wife's back and assured her that he would have done the same thing. He even teased that Shawn got on his nerves all the time. It was the truth but he would have done anything to have him there to annoy him. He promised that he would find their boy.

He left his wife and went into the backyard to begin the investigation.

When Henry walked into the backyard he noticed the place in the sand where his son was sitting and how the sand scattered behind the place where Shawn had been sitting. Showing that someone surprised Shawn and snatched him.

Henry had to continue to take deep breaths to keep his worry and anger from taking over. He walked around the side of the house where the gate was and noticed that there was a muddy handprint on the gate. He also noticed that the rose bushes where pulled at. He figured Shawn had tried to get away from his captors.

He yelled at the officers who were arriving to try and get prints off the gate and showed them the other evidence. He also gave them a picture of Shawn to distribute to the media and who ever else would look.

The dark van carrying Shawn pulled up to an abandoned looking home about an hour away from the Spencer house. Shawn had awoken from his hit on the head but he decided that it would be better to pretend to be asleep for right now.

The big man that snatched Shawn grabbed the unconscious boy up and threw him over his shoulder like a sac of pet food. Shawn took the opportunity to take a look at his surroundings.

When they entered the house the man tossed Shawn's unconscious body on the couch. He leaned down and slapped the boys face and told him to, "Wakie wakie".

The bad man, who Shawn was calling Darth Vader, smiled when Shawn opened his eyes. He looked at the frightened boy and sneered, "Good your scared! That will make it even better for when you're no good Uncle gets here."

Shawn was confused, he loved Uncle Jack why was Darth Vader calling him no good? He was also confused when Vader started to take his clothes off. Shawn tried to struggle but it was useless Vader was so much bigger and stronger than Shawn was.

Vader looked down at the naked young man and sneered. "Why don't we have a little fun with you while we wait for Jack to get here." With that he started to touch Shawn in all the places that his mom told him to never allow someone to touch. He tried to cry out but couldn't the man had shoved some part of his body in Shawn's mouth so Shawn kept his eyes closed and prayed for it to be over soon.

Vader finished with the frightened boy and was zipping his pants up right as Jack was walking into the house. Jack screamed when he saw his precious nephew naked and hurt on the couch.

Jack looked at Vader and screamed, "You sick son of a bitch what have you done to my nephew?" Vader grabbed a gun off the side table and pointed to Jack and told him, "What just happened to Shawn would continue to happen and he would bring others in to enjoy the show too, if he didn't do exactly what he told him to do."

Jack didn't know what to do. What was worse facing Vader or his brother when he found out. Jack took another glance at the usual lively boy on the couch curled up in a ball crying. He told Vader that he would do anything he wanted him to do.

Vader smiled with a sick smile and said, "Oh Darn I was really hoping to have some more 'FUN' with ole Shawnie boy but if you do what I tell you I will give him to you and you can be the hero to your big brother."

Back at the police station Shawn's picture was going out to every news outlet, print or broadcast. They were announcing it on the radio. All of Santa Barbara was out looking for Shawn.

A young rookie came up to Henry at the station and handed him a folder telling him that they were able to get prints from the gate and they belonged to Michael Stewart a known con man and he stopped for a minute trying to get the courage to say the next part. Clearing his throat he continued and known child molester.

Henry fell down into his chair his knees gave out when he heard the last part. Henry took the file and read for himself. Stewart had been arrested five times for raping young boys between the ages of 4 and 6, exactly how old Shawn was.

All Henry could do was look at the Rookie and mutter "Oh God". The Rookie patted Henry's shoulder and assured the worried father man to man not cop to father of a kidnap victim, that they would FIND Shawn and they would not hesitate to shot Stewart if he gave them any reason too.
