I have pre-written a few ideas for chapters, but I'm not really sure whether to continue. Please review so I know what you think and tell me what you reckon I can improve on!

A petite blonde sat- cold and alone -in an unfamiliar setting. It was dark and she could feel a light breeze on her neck which made her feel uncomfortable and frightened. The young woman pulled a black wallet out of her pocket with numb fingers, she flipped it open to reveal a badge. A police warrant. 'Detective Sergeant Samantha Nixon' she read. 'But is that really who I am anymore?' Sam thought with remorse, the real Samantha Nixon wouldn't have let herself get into this situation. 'This is bad- this is really bad. How the hell- why the hell- did I let myself get into this mess? I am supposed to be Samantha Nixon, ruthless, stand-for-nothing cop. What happened? ' A dull clunk from the next room brought Sam back to her senses, her eyes searched the room looking for the offending object or person. After staring for a while, she was convinced that no one was there and rolled her eyes. Sam was becoming colder by the minute and had no idea where she was, she pulled her knees up to her chest to help shield her from the low temperature and lay on her side in a huddled ball in a bid to stay warm.
"Sam should've been back two hours ago, Guv. I'm getting worried, it's not like her to be late- at least not if she hasn't phoned." Phil told Jack Meadows, the words tumbled out of his mouth.
"Phil, she'll be back- don't worry about Samantha, she's a good officer." Jack replied, he sounded sure of himself so this re-assured Phil and put his mind at rest for a while. Phil thanked the older officer and went to sit back at his desk, he collapsed in his chair and lifted his legs up onto the wood table, leaning to retrieve the paperwork that had fallen to the floor. Two hours later, Sam still hadn't returned to Sun Hill Police Station and Phil was fidgeting at his desk, unsure of where she was and despite being told not to by Jack, he had sent 6 text messages to Sam's phone- none of which she had answered. Phil had a soft spot for Sam, she was the only person that he occasionally let his guard down for and he knew he wouldn't be able to bear it if anything happened to her. He knew Sam well enough to know that she didn't stay out later than she said she would without calling the station to let them know why.
"Guv- Sam still isn't back, don't you think it's a bit suspicious? She's never late back from a case without ringing us. Seriously, I think we should go and find her." Phil gushed.
"I think you're right this time, Phil. It is a bit odd for Sam to not be back on time, you phone her mobile- keep trying until you get through. I'll set up for someone to accompany you." Jack looked serious.
"Thanks, Jack- I mean Guv." Phil said as he nodded. He marched to his desk and picked up the phone, dialing Sam's number so fast that he made three mistakes before he got the right one. The phone diverted straight to voice mail, so Phil left a rushed message. "Sam! Please call me as soon as you get this- I need to know that you're ok," before turning back to face Jack, "Guv, she isn't picking up, we need to find her!" he was becoming hysterical now.
"Look, Phil, you need to calm down. Samantha's a smart girl, she'll be fine." Jack insisted,
"But you don't know that, Jack!" Phil shouted at the DCI,
"Phil. You won't help Samantha by shouting at me. The only thing that will help you to do is get demoted." Jack said calmly, leaving Phil fuming. He wanted to find Sam- he needed to find her!
Samantha Nixon woke up feeling tired and sore. Her back was painful from having 'slept' on the cold, concrete floor although she hadn't slept much. Sam had nightmares all night, she kept waking, sweating and shivering. She re-played last night's events in her mind constantly;
Jumping out of the van, she was ready to run for it but before she got the chance she was caught by two tanned men in leather jackets and trousers, Sam didn't see their faces but they forced her down a street and pulled her round a corner to a garage of some sort from what she could make out. Sam was beaten and raped by the two men who had kidnapped her, she was then left there in a cold, dark, uninviting room. Alone.
"Phil! Phil!" Jack Meadows shouted, bringing Phil out of the trance he had been sitting in for the past hour. He groggily lifted his head and wearily glanced at his DCI.
"What is it, Guv?" Phil asked, his eyes drooping.
"We've gathered intelligence from a man saying he witnessed a blonde being pulled out of a van last night, it is possible that it's Sam." As soon as the name 'Sam' left Jack's lips, Phil jumped up from his chair.
"Well, where is it? We have to interview him as soon as possible." Phil's voice was raised and alarmed that the DCI hadn't told him sooner.
"Calm down, Phil. I can't have you storming over there on your own- Stuart will accompany you." Jack Meadows looked worried at the prospect of Phil and Stuart working together, especially on a case that concerned Samantha Nixon, but Stuart Turner was the only officer in CID that wasn't involved in a case at the time.
"No."
"Sorry, Phil?" Jack asked coolly, he didn't take kindly to his officers refusing to take a case.
"I said no. I am not working with that rat to find Sam. Is there no one else?"
"Phil, I expect you to take this seriously. If you are intent on finding Samantha, then you cannot let your petty feuds with Stuart Turner get in the way. Everyone else is involved in something right now, sorry." Jack said sternly. "Now, may I suggest you get to the witness quickly before anything happens to Samantha."
