No Boundaries

Chapter Four: Paranoid

One week came and went, but Carlisle still did not have Laurent's money. All day, he waited for the call, but none came.

He lay awake all night in a cold sweat, images of the horrors Laurent would conduct swimming through his mind.

"Such a beautiful daughter"

The words danced through his head, and Carlisle felt a jolt of fear. Rosalie. . .

Rosalie was his 17-year old daughter. She had long, golden hair that cascaded down her back like a river of curls. Her eyes were a deep chocolate brown, like her mother's, but she still had her father's 'movie-star' charm. Her perfect hourglass figure made her more than noticeable.

She would have made the perfect target for Laurent.

The next morning, Carlisle insisted on driving both of his children to school. The entire way, he gave Rosalie at least a hundred safety tips, and constantly reminded her to avoid strangers.

Even as he pulled up to her school and kissed her goodbye, Carlisle was on high alert. He watched her enter the building, waited a few minutes to see if anything happened, and, deeming it safe, left to take Jasper to Day-Care.

Throughout the work day, Carlisle was distracted. He constantly check the clocks, and sent Rosalie dozens of text messages and e-mails, begging her to stay safe and to remain alert. Twice, he actually drove up to her school, and checked with her teachers and principle to make sure she was alright.

After work, Carlisle drove as fast as he could, and picked Rosalie up from school.

"Dad, what's wrong?" she asked, closing the car door behind her.

"You've been acting weird all day. . ."

Carlisle gave her a weak smile and ran a hand through his hair.

"It's nothing, sweetheart," he said. He knew Rosalie could tell he was lying, but she let it drop.

Carlisle pulled up to Jasper's Day Care Center, and got out of the car. He turned to Rosalie and gave her a serious look.

"Stay in the car, ok? Lock all the doors and windows, and hold onto your thickest, heaviest textbook. . . I'll be right back,"

"Dad. . ." Rosalie said, a hint of fear creeping into her voice.

"What-"

"I'm just going to get your brother," her father said. Rosalie gave him a frightened look, before quickly doing as he asked.

Carlisle entered the day care, and walked up to the teacher, Mrs. Keating.

"Good afternoon. . . I'm here to pick up my son," he said, smiling politely. The dumpy, grey-haired woman looked up at him in surprise, and Carlisle suddenly felt that something was very wrong.

"You mean Jasper? Why, his older brother James picked him up over an hour ago! Said you wouldn't be home until very late. . ." she said.

Carlisle felt the color drain from his face, and the breath caught in his throat. Seeing the obvious alarm on Carlisle's face, Mrs. Keating reached into her pocket, and fished out a small card.

"He did leave this though. . . Very strange. . . I never knew you had another son!"

"I don't," Carlisle said, taking the card. As he looked at it, tears welled up in his eyes, and he felt as though his heart had stopped.

He slipped the card into his pocket, refusing to look at the golden 'L' on the black background, and left. As he approached the car, Rosalie ran out to meet him.

"Dad? What's going on? Where's Jasper?"

"H-he's gone. . ."

Rosalie stopped dead in her tracks, looking confused and frightened.

"Wh-what?"

"He's gone, Rose," Carlisle said, tears rolling down his cheeks.

"Your brother's been kidnapped. . ."
