"Frank! Where are you!" Laura called in the backyard. 'Where could he be?' She wondered.
"What's wrong mommy?" Joey asked as he joined her.
"I can't find Frank honey. Have you seen him lately?"
"Yeah, in the sandbox before you called me inside."
"That was 2 hours ago. Have u seen him since?"
"No why?" But Laura was already dashing inside to tell Fenton her worst fear.
"Fenton!" She called.
"What's wrong?"
"Frank's gone. I can't find him anywhere." She said near hysterical.
"Oh no. They have him."
"Who daddy? Who has Frankie?" The 8 year old asked innocently.
"The people who took you before, son." Fenton explained. Joey nodded grimly remembering that nightmare.
Just then the phone rang. Fenton rushed to answer it.
"Hello?" He asked.
"D-daddy?" A small voice came from the other end.
"Frank? Are you. Okay? Where are you?" Fenton asked frantically putting the phone on speaker.
"I'm okay. I'm..." Frank's voice was interrupted by his screams of pain.
"FRANK! No! Leave him alone. What do you want?" Fenton yelled into the phone.
"Frankie! It's Joey, say something." Joey said frantically into the phone.
"Joey..." A weak whisper sounded from the other end.
"Mr. Hardy! Don't come looking for us! They'll just kill you too! I'll take care of him! Please do-..." The line went dead.
"That was Alex." Joey said simply. Laura was in tears and Fenton was close.
"He said not to look for them. That he would take care of Frank." Laura said.
"I know. What do I do?" Fenton asked no one in particular. Just then Joey raced out of the room.
"Joe!" Called Laura, but Joey didn't stop. He just kept running out the front door and down the street to the park.
There, he sat on the swing set and thought of what to do to get Frankie back.
"Joey?" A soft voice came from behind him. He turned and saw his father standing there. Joey could just barely see the gun holster his father almost always wore. Joey just looked downcast and worried.
"Joey?" Fenton tried again. Joey flung himself into his fathers arms and cried.
AN: a little short but the next one will be of Frank and Alex.
