*With Nathan*
Nathan had had a feeling of dread since Audrey had walked into work.
"Be careful Audrey. Bye." He called after her.
"Stop worrying Nathan I'll be fine. See ya tomorrow." She chuckled softly.
Nathan saw her disappear into the street. The dread in the pit of his stomach intensified majorly and he sprinted after her "Audrey?"
His response was the silence of the night thinking she was on her way home he walked back to the precinct not noticing the large black sinister van that resided in the shadows.
*With Audrey*
"Stop worrying Nathan I'll be fine. See ya tomorrow." She chucked softly.
She walked out of the precinct and was instantly met the cold chill of November, she shivered and pulled her thick coat tighter around her body.
She walked closer to her car and pulled out her keys. All of a sudden pain erupted in her head and she fell to the ground her keys shot slightly under her car.
The last thing she felt was a large figure pick her up and throw her into a van then darkness was casted over her.
*With Nathan*
When Nathan rolled into the precinct the next morning he noticed the lack of a certain blonde haired woman he had secretly been crushing on. He flipped his phone out and quickly dialled her number.
*With Audrey*
The vibrating in her pocket woke her up she groaned loudly and tried to grab her phone only to find her hands were tied behind her.
The large grey door suddenly swung open. Audrey squinted at the harsh light that had now entered the room.
"Shall we worry Nathan a little bit?" the person who had entered the room said in a menacing tone.
*With Nathan*
"Nathan." Audrey's voice floated through the speaker like an angels.
"Audrey thank god. Where are you. You're late. It looked like my dad was gonna have a coronary when I said you weren't in."
"Nathan shut up. I need you to erm feed my cat."
"You haven't got… Ohhhhhhhh. Oh shit. Do you know who by?"
"No. I didn't stop to ask what his cat food was called. I didn't have the time."
The next sound that broke through the speakers broke his heart.
*With Audrey*
"No. I didn't stop to ask what his cat food was called I didn't have the time."
The man that had kidnapped her snatched the phone off of her and backhanded her. Though she had went through hell through her childhood, nothing could stop the whimper of pain that passed her lips.
*With Nathan*
Nathan's eyes welled with tears as he heard the quiet whimper that he knew had come from Audrey.
"Hello Nathan. I believe I have a friend of yours."
"When I find her I'm gonna kill you." Nathan spat "If you hurt her again I will find you and I will kill you."
"Nathan that takes the fun out of everything."
*With Audrey*
Audrey's body hurt. She had been with the insane man for 8 hours and she knew that she had a few broken ribs, a broken wrist and a fractured clavicle. She ached from head to toe.
"Hurry please Nathan." She thought desperately.
The man walked back in "Right lets carry on now my dear."
He opened the bag he had brought in with him and emptied the contents near her.
*With Nathan*
Nathan's phoned chirped and he quickly answered the call.
"Hello Nathan. How are you?"
"I'll be a lot better when you let Audrey go."
"Well I've got a few more things concerning Audrey that I need to do before I even think about even letting her out into the middle of nowhere."
Before Nathan had time to answer a pain filled scream filtered through the phone.
"You sick bastard what have you done to her? I will find you and I will kill you."
Another scream was heard through the phone.
"I have done nothing. I think what is causing your precious Audrey such pain is the python I put in the room with her. I think it just bit her."
"You sick bastard let her go. Swap her for me please."
"Now Nathan we both know that's not going to happen. You can't feel pain. I want to cause you pain and this how I'm causing you pain."
*With Audrey*
Audrey knew when Nathan found her she would have a few new fears. 1) Basements 2) The dark and 3) Snakes.
She could feel the snake slithering up her leg, she unceremoniously shuddered and jerked her foot. She felt the snake bear it's teeth into her leg and unwilling she screamed in pain. Faintly she could hear Nathan shouting down the phone at the crazy man that had kidnapped her.
The Python bit her leg once more again triggering a scream.
"You sick bastard." She heard Nathan shout.
*With Nathan*
Though the chief bullied his son, he loved him and was always able to tell when something was bothering him.
"Nathan. What's wrong? Audrey's still not here. I'm putting her on desk duty when she finally rolls in."
"She's been kidnapped."
"Nathan, are you sure?"
"Yes I've been told by the guy who kidnapped her, she told me. I've heard him hit her, I've heard her scream in pain when she was bit by a python. Yeah dad I'm sure."
Garland Wournos audibly gasped he knew that if anything happened to Audrey Nathan would never be the same.
"Right what have we got so far?"
"He's using Audrey to get to me. So I think maybe I've irked him."
"This is gonna be a long day."
Nathan's phone chirped.
*With Audrey*
"Audrey? Is that you?"
"Yep." She whispered " I took my phone from him I managed to free my arms."
"Ok Audrey you need to keep the phone on. Your friend Agent Howard is here and he's brought with him a tracker. We're gonna find ya and when we do I'll take you out for some pancakes. Okay?"
"Yep that's fine. I can see a window, I'm gonna try and get out."
"Ok but be careful. Don't do anything to daredevilry ok?"
"Ok please hurry Nathan I'm tired I want to go to bed. I've been up for 48 hours."
Audrey stood and walked to the window. She stood on a box that was positioned directly underneath the window and pushed the window. She was relived and a little suspicious when the window opened effortlessly.
She carefully climbed out of the window, she winced as she jostled her painful arm.
*With Nathan*
"Come on, come on." Nathan muttered under his breath as he scrutinized the monitor screen "Come on let me find let me bring her home."
"Pinocchio what's going on?" Duke asked as strolled into the precinct "Where's Audrey? I want to ask her something."
Nathan growled and looked at Duke "Not now I haven't got the time or patience to deal with you."
"Where's Audrey Chief?"
"She's missing."
Duke looked shocked "Erm ok do you need any help?"
Everybody looked at Duke surprised by the concern that Duke had just displayed.
"The more the merrier." Agent Howard said.
*With Audrey*
Audrey had managed to get herself out of the small basement window. She looked around and noticed the large woods to her left. She limped over to it and walked in the mouth of the wood.
"I knew you'd find away out." Her kidnapper shouted.
"Oh shizz." Audrey thought.
"You can run but you can't hide."
"Wanna bet."
Audrey heard an engine start.
"He's on a motorbike." She thought.
Audrey forgetting all of her pain began to run she weaved through around the large tree trunks.
*With Nathan*
"We got her location. She's in the wood just by the Solmon's mansion. It looks like she's going toward the middle.
"Right, let's go get her." Agent Howard said.
The chief could tell from a glance at Nathan that the weight that had burdened him since Audrey had gone missing had decreased a little bit.
The group moved outside to the patrol car and Agent Howard's rental. They started their engines put on the sirens and drove rapidly to Audrey's location.
"Please god let her be ok." Nathan prayed silently "Please. I love her. I want her safe."
Within 15 minutes they were at the large wood.
"This is Chief Wournos. I need back up to the wood by the Solomon's mansion ASAP. We have an officer being held hostage repeat we have an officer being held hostage."
*With Audrey*
Audrey ducked as a bullet propelled through the trees and narrowly missed her. Her leg ached and her lungs burned. Her more serious injuries were not hurting at all due to the copious amount of adrenaline that was coursing through her veins.
"I'm gonna feel this for weeks after." She thought as something caught her eye she slightly turned her head left before beginning to run towards the blue flashing lights she could see. "Gotta keep going. Gotta get to Nathan."
*With Nathan*
A gunshot echoed through the quiet wood Nathan looked toward the woods a look of sheer horror on his face.
"We need to find her." The group of police officers moved quickly towards the wood.
"Audrey!" Nathan shouted as he ran "Audrey!"
*With Audrey*
"Audrey!" Nathan shouted as he ran "Audrey!"
"Nathan." Audrey whispered breathlessly as she changed the direction she was running. Finally her eyes locked on the tall figure of Nathan Wournos. Finding her voice she shouted "Nathan!"
He turned and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his partner running towards him. When she was close enough he took her into his arms and whispered "Audrey I was so worried."
*With Nathan*
He turned and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his partner running towards him. When she was close enough he took her into his arms and whispered "Audrey I was so worried."
Lightly he placed a soft kiss on her forehead, Audrey relaxed slightly before pulling away.
"We need to move. He's on a motorbike." She said softly. They began to walk, Nathan lightly slung an arm around Audrey's shoulders.
He was shocked when he saw the ground rushing up to his face then his blood chilled as the silence of the wood was once again broken by a loud boom.
*With Audrey*
"We need to move. He's on a motorbike." She said softly. They began to walk, Nathan lightly slung an arm around Audrey's shoulders.
Audrey's eye was caught by movement in the bushes in front of them with all her might she pushed Nathan to the forest floor before the loud bang resounded around them. She crumbled to the floor beside Nathan.
*With Nathan*
Nathan looked around once the gunfire had ceased. He spotted Audrey and crawled to her before he lightly flipped her over.
"Oh god Audrey." He said as his eyes caught the crimson colour that was rapidly growing on her top. He took his jacket off and held it on her wound. She groaned as he applied pressure. "Sorry Audrey. But I need to apply pressure."
She mumbled her response. Nathan became increasingly worried as she began to get paler. He gathered her into his arms being careful not to jostle her too much.
*With Audrey*
After the bang from the gun all Audrey felt was a burning pain in her abdomen. "This stings like a bitch." She thought as she hit the ground "Nathan's so lucky he can't feel this."
The next thing she felt was Nathan place his jacket on her wound, she groaned as he placed pressure on her tender wound.
"Sorry Audrey. But I need to apply pressure."
She could feel her eyes growing heavier as the pain became worse "Audrey. Audrey sweetie wake up. Audrey come on wake up."
Using the last bit of her energy she opened her eyes and looked up at Nathan with fear and pain swimming in her eyes.
"You're so lucky you can't feel this." She whimpered as another wave of pain passed over every one of her nerve endings "Nathan I'm tired. I'm gonna go sleep now."
"No Audrey. You can't."
*With Nathan*
"No Audrey. You can't." Nathan frantically called as Audrey's eyes fluttered shut "No, no Audrey come on baby wake up please."
Nathan picked up his pace as Audrey became unresponsive. It felt like ages before he finally saw the clearing in the wood that he had come through.
"I need some help here." He shouted as his eyes caught sight of the ambulances and police cars flashing lights.
The medics who had been standing by one of the patrol cars sprung into action.
