Antonio POV
"So, that's your sister, huh? She's good looking, mind if you hook me up with her?" Jay Halstead, one of my partners, said.
"Shut up, she has a boyfriend. Lieutenant Casey at firehouse fifty one, I wouldn't mess with them if I were you."
Jay just shrugged and continued to talk to Lindsay, one of the detectives here in Intelligence. It's been eight minutes already, why is Gabby taking so long? I decided to go out of the building and check up on her, and when I see her car, the driver's seat door was still open. I walk over there, and when I see she's not there, I immediately freak out. The plastic bag of food is lying on the ground, and there's a note next to it.
I have your sister, so come and find her, Dawson. The note said, I didn't bother to pick it up, I could send it off to the forensics team. The note was in cut off magazine letters, this guy is pretty good. I walk back into the building and run off to the unit.
"Guys, Gabby's missing." I yell out. All of them stood up, with a very shocked expression on their face.
"What do you mean she's missing?" Lindsay said.
"I went to go look for her because she was taking so long, and when I arrived at her car, there was a note sitting to the food that she was supposed to bring in."
"Do you have the note?" Voight asked.
"No, I left it out there, so forensics could take a look at it. The note isn't hand-written, that's the thing. Voight, who was the last guy who recently got out of jail, any one of your freakin' associates, huh?"i walk up to Voight, and yelled into his face.
"So, you think this is my fault? And to be honest, I haven't let out a guy in three months, so there's no way I could of done whatever you think I did."
"Whatever, Lindsay and Halstead, go get the forensics team and go examine the crime scene. Her car is a white Range Rover, it's parked in the front of the building. I'm going to contact the Lieutenant at the firehouse." I ordered to all of the crew.
Okay, Antonio. Don't panic, your sister is going to be fine. She knows how to kick ass, and she knows how to defend herself. Meanwhile, why don't you go call Casey and let him know.
I dialed Casey's number on my iPhone, and waited for him to pick up.
On the third ring, "Lieutenant Casey,"
"Casey, it's Antonio, you need to come down to the department now. It's urgent." I said.
"Why, is Gabby alright? What happened?" He asked frantically.
"It's better for you to be here, I'll explain when you get here."
"I'll be there in twenty."
So you told Casey, that's off the list. If Gabby isn't found within twenty-four hours, then it's time to call the parents.
Casey POV
I was doing some paperwork in my office, until Herrmann grabbed me because lunch was made by Mills. I walk into the common room and grab a seat at my table. I start eating, until my phone started to vibrate, meaning that I had a incoming call.
Antonio? What does he want?
I press answer, and put the phone to my ear, "Lieutenant Casey,"
"Casey, it's Antonio, you need to come down to the department now. It's urgent."
A million of questions and case scenarios started to form in my head. "Why, is Gabby alright? What happened?" I spoke.
The guys started to look at me and dropped what they were doing.
"It's better for you to be here. I'll explain when you get here." I've never heard Antonio panic before, this is definitely about Gabby. I need to get down to the department immediately.
"Guys, uh, just tell Chief that I went out on an errand. Herrmann you're taking my spot for now. Tell Chief it's important. I'll update you on what's happening, later." I said to the crew, I ran out of the common room and grabbed my jacket from my office.
Once I arrived at the police department, I showed the desk officer my badge, and ran to where Antonio's office was. I quickly found him along with the rest of the intelligence officers. He was in his thinking mode. I walk up to him, and tapped him on the back.
"Antonio, what's going on?" I asked.
"Sit down. I'll explain.
After listening to Antonio on what's going on. My babe is missing. Gabriela Marie Dawson is missing. I put my head into my hands, and just start to tear up.
I spoke out, "Antonio, you need to find her. Anything that you could do to find my girl. Just please."
"We will, Casey. I assure you." He said giving me a small smile. I see Voight coming down and I stood up and attacked him.
"You bastard, I know your little schemes. Call one of your buddies, I just want Gabriela back." I said to him, pulling on his shirt. Antonio held me back from punching him in the face.
"I didn't do shit, Casey."
"Sure, but if whoever is behind this and you put them to work, I swear, I will get you." I threatened.
Voight put his hands up in defense, and just walked away.
I sat down, and asked Antonio, "What have you got so far?"
"According to the forensics team, the note has literally no sign of DNA evidence. No hair speckle, dandruff, fingerprints, nothing at all. This guy got it good."
I nod, and just lean back into the chair. I sent out a text to everyone back at the house, updating them on every bit of information I have just received. They all replied with an affirmative and will drop by the department after shift. Then I hear Antonio's phone beep a chime, notifying him that he had a text.
He showed me his phone, "1786 Dawnwater Avenue. Abandoned house. Deep streets of Chicago. You have up until tomorrow at midnight to give me a hundred grand, or else your little sister is dead." with an image of Gabby tied up and duct tape on her mouth. No sign of scratches or marks on her face.
"Who's that from?" I said frustrated, grabbing his phone.
"Unknown number, " he said getting his phone back, "Okay, everyone gear up. We're heading to the deep side of Chicago. Voight, do whatever you can, to get a hundred grand. Halstead and Lindsay, gear up with the snipers, make up a plan. No, actually three plans. We need backups. Casey, you're with me." Antonio barked out, and everyone nodded.
Gabby POV
My whole body aches, my head hurts, and I feel like I've been asleep for two weeks. I try to get up, but my hands are tied, and my mouth is taped. What the actual fuck. Then, I see two men approaching me, I try to slide away from them, but my feet are tied up as well. They came up to me, and ripped the tape off my mouth. I didn't scream, it hurt, but if I yelled out, they'd do something to me. I try to get a look at the men, but they're both dressed in black, and masked.
"Hey bitch, you're Antonio's sister, am I right?" One of the guys said to me. I just looked up at them, not saying anything.
"Are you gonna say something or what?" He pushed again. I didn't respond.
He slapped me in the face, "You gonna answer now?"
No answer.
He hit me again, and this time it bruised my cheek. It sting for a few seconds, and then there comes another slap on the other cheek. Tears started to fall out of my eyes.
"Yes, I'm Antonio's sister. What do you want from me?" I croak out.
"Money, bitch. And if he doesn't get with the plan. You're dead to me, Dawson." He yelled out once again, picked me up, and threw me onto the ground. I felt something crack, and that was probably my back. I tried to get up, but there was no use. He kicked me in the stomach, pressed me against the wall, and start to take off my shirt.
"No, please leave me alone. I didn't do anything to you." I cry out.
"Fuck you, you little slut." He slapped me in the face once again. He starts to unzip my jeans, and he unbuckles his belt. That is when, the other guy pulls him off of me and punches him in the face.
"You asswipe, you're not suppose to rape her. Do you know how much Rev is going to get us? He said to hit her a few times, not rape her, you idiot!" I hear him argue with the other guy in a whispered tone.
Rev
Where have I heard that name before?
Two of the men walk away, and leave me in a mess. I start to cry, and pray that someone will arrive soon. I just want Matt here. To hold me, and tell me that everything is going to be alright.
Dun, dun, dun. That's it for my updates this weekend. If I have time this week, I will upload the next chapter. But until then, stay tuned for more. By the way, I love reading your comments and thoughts, so drop a review before you exit this page!
