A/N This is more a prologue than a chapter but I got this idea during a conversation with BreathtakeninglyMundane so thanks again for helping me keep the ideas coming. Again this is MELLITZ so if it's not what you like then keep it moving.

He knew he shouldn't be there, but he couldn't resist. He'd been planning this for months, years even and he wanted to make sure everything went according to plan. He stood off to the side of the stage in the shadows and watched her. She was exquisitely beautiful, almost too beautiful to be real. His gaze ran up and down her entire length. A faint smile graced his features, soon she would be all his. He knew that her speech was wrapping up and he stepped away from the shadows and slipped out of the building unnoticed.

Mellie wrapped up her speech and headed down the stairs to greet some of the crowd that had been hand selected. After the meet and greet her agents whisked her away to her awaiting sedan. Mellie settled into the back seat of the car and started to go over her next speech that was planned for later that day. She was so engrossed in the speech and making sure that she was prepared that she didn't immediately notice the route that she was being driven.

Mellie looked up, she turned toward the windows and frowned. She wasn't completely familiar with Texas, but she knew that this was not the route to the Houston Civic Center. Mellie pushed the intercom button, but was only greeted with a crackling static. She pushed the button to roll down the partition, but it did not budge.

"Oh great a defective car." She said to herself. She leaned over and knocked on the partition, she could see the backs of the agents, but neither acknowledged her. Mellie sat back annoyed and grabbed the phone located in the car, there was no dial tone. She tried to remain calm, but something definitely was not right. She looked out the window again trying to figure out where she was. They were driving away from the city, for that she was sure. Mellie grabbed her cell phone, but it had no service.

"What is going on?" She feverishly knocked on the partition again and was still ignored. She sat back trying to think of what her next move should be. Her heart started to beat wildly in her chest. The car traveled for another twenty minutes before stopping. Mellie noticed that the sun had started to set and she most certainly was going to miss her next speaking engagement. Surely someone would notice her absence. She looked out and she was sitting in the middle of the woods. Fear seized her heart, she was paralyzed. The agents exited the car and walked around to the back. Mellie scooted away from the door as they approached. She gripped her cell phone tightly and tried to think of a way out of this situation. The door opened and the agent bent down. Mellie's brow furrowed this was not her agent that had been with her at the last engagement.

"Ma'am please exit the vehicle."

"Who are you what have you done with my agents?"

"Ma'am please exit the vehicle." Mellie scooted further away. She didn't notice the other agent walking around the car. The door opened suddenly and Mellie felt a pinch and then a burn. Her vision started to go blurry and the last thing she thought before the world went black was that she prayed Fitz and their children were safe.
