Chapter Two
As Ariana was bound and scared for her life, she had tried to break free from her captor but was fruitless. She had also tried to get the duct tape off her wrists, mainly as it was bound so tightly, but even this wasn't gonna end well. She had struggled so many times to get free, that when the serial killer returned to his lair and found her still bound to the chair, he decided to make it worse for her.
He deciding to rip her clothing off, to place more wounds on her body, he roughly ripped her top. Then grabbed the carving knife and runned it along her stomach to prolong the injury. He cut her across with one swift motion, she tried to gasp out in pain but couldn't, due to the duct tape over her mouth. He added other cuts to her body, hoping that they would scar. He even planned to bury her out in the mountains, just outside Henderson, where wild animals could dispose of her body and leave no trace behind.
Nick had tried to get any known features on the photograph but wasn't having much luck in trying to find where Ariana was being held. He had no idea what was being done to the girl he loved, each second slowly ticked past. He was so scared that he might never see her again, but he had to be strong, if not for himself then for Ariana. He knew that she was a fighter and it was this that had drawn them together under a year ago. Unbeknown to the team but this serial killer had been a suspect in an old case long time ago and was seeking revenge.
As the serial killer taunted Ariana, she became so scared that he almost left a piece of DNA on her, but quickly stopped, then turning the tables on her, before he took another snap. Only this time it was sent to the LVPD, when the team saw it and realised that they had to move fast to find her. They where unaware that their team-mate Nick had already gotten the first clue and debated to link it with the new photo. He finally did and DB Russell was slightly taken aback when he saw the first photo, he didn't know how or why Nick was sent the first one.
Nick went to the locker room, before he finally broke down in tears. He felt so alone while Ariana was out there trapped with their serial killer. DB found Nick in the locker room, went over to him and asked him about the first photo, Nick sniffled then admits to DB that Ariana was his girlfriend of ten months. Before Nick then asks DB not to tell anyone, DB promised that he won't tell anyone.
Ariana was then kicked in the side when she tried to break free as he unbound her, but the kick was what she got for attempting to flee. He kicked her so hard that it knock the wind out of her and she fell to the concrete ground hard,. Then he then kicked her again, harder this time wanting to leave her a crippled mess and to die from her injuries. Nick needed to find her, he loved her and needed the chance to tell her before it was too late.
Will Nick and the team be able to find Ariana and unmask the serial killer?
