Chapter 3
Charlie Swan POV
I hate listening to other people pitch ideas about what I should create. Boring. I am the brain behind this whole organization and yet I suffer at these meetings. Maybe I can get out of here somehow? I took out my cell phone and hit the number two button. This button calls Sue Clearwater, my secretary. She is almost like family to Bells and me. She should be right outside this meeting so maybe she can help me with my escape. I waited as the phone rang and rang and then went to voicemail. I hung up. Good job Sue just when I really need you!
Just then the door opened and Sue popped her head in. "Mr. Swan there is an emergency," she said. YES! She did actually get my call. I smiled and excused myself from the meeting. I walked out the door and after it shut I said, "THANK GOD! I hate meetings. I didn't think you got my phone call but you did. PHEW!" Sue looked concerned. "Charlie, I didn't get your call. I got another call and it is an emergency. It's Bella," she said. Happiness immediately deserted me. "What do you mean? Where is she? What's wrong?" I asked quickly. "Charlie. Come with me," she said.
We ran to the elevator and went down a couple floors and out the main lobby. There was a limo waiting outside for us and we hopped in. Please be okay Bells!
We finally made it to the house to find one ambulance, a fire truck, a black SUV, and three police cars. My eyes bulged. I jumped out of the car. "Bells!" I yelled. I ran over to the house to find the door wide open. Everything looked fine. I ran upstairs and into her room. "Oh my god," I whispered.
Her room was a mess. Everything was everywhere. There were broken objects and.. blood. Whose blood? Please not my baby bells. The window was wide open and the curtains were tarnished. Two people were in the room besides me. "Mr. Swan, I am FBI Special Agent Claire Williams. My partner and I have been in your daughter's room investigating the case. There seems to definitely have been a major struggle or fight and blood was shed. At the moment that blood is at lab being tested. Whoever broke into your house and took your daughter left through the window. There are two sets of foot prints neither the size of your daughter so there must have been two people. The trail goes North of your house and our dogs followed to the road and then they must have got in a car and drove off. I am sorry, Mr. Swan," Agent Williams said. I just nodded slowly not completely processing what was going on.
The two agents left the room and I sat down on Bells bed and put my head in my hands. "How could this happen to my sweet baby girl," I whispered. I rubbed my face with my hands and began to pick stuff up off the ground. I honestly felt like sobbing though I have never sobbed in my life not even when the wife left me. Bella is my whole life. As I opened the closet I saw Iron Man. He was on the ground broken and torn to bits. He was supposed to keep my Bella safe.
"Mr. Swan," I heard a voice yell. I went over to the top of the stairs, it was Agent Williams. "I think you will want to see this," she said. I ran down the stairs and sat down in front of the television and they put in a video tape. The screen was black. "Is the camera on?" someone asked. "Yes sir," another voice responded. Then the first voice walked in front of the screen. It was a man I have seen before but I can't recall his name. He is an Indian with a gut and growing baldness yet very muscular. "Hello Charlie Swan. We have kidnapped your daughter," he paused and just as he said this he moved to show a person sitting on a chair tied with a bag over their head. "We want a new weapon. One of mass destruction," he paused again. "Your daughter will help us create said weapon and if she doesn't fulfill our needs we will kill her and come get you," he started laughing. "How do we know he isn't lying?" Agent Williams partner said. The bag was then lifted off the persons head to reveal my daughter. I was so relieved to see her but not there I wanted her safe with me. She squinted as light touched her beautiful eyes. She looked very dirty but she didn't look injured which made me feel a little relief. Then the Indian brought out a knife. My eyes grew wide. "No," I whispered. He walked over to my Bella and cut her palm and she cried in pain. I winced and started sobbing. The Indian walked to the camera and put the knife now covered in her blood in front of him. "She has two days." Then the video shut off. "Get my daughter back!" I yelled and continued to sob.
