Chapter 7

Then sun had started to set, but the house was still abuzz with action. Agents rushed around bagging up evidence and taking tips from a hotline. Millie was again at the kitchen table. She sat with Kalista who had also been questioned many times. Millie hadn't eaten anything all day and whenever she was offered food she refused. She tapped a pen on the wooden table. The agents had told her to write down anything suspicious that happened or she might have seen in the past couple days. The fact that her child was missing kept clouding her memory as she tried to think. Kalista glanced out the corner of her eye as she saw the forensics team come down stairs with Jessica's favorite teddy bear in a plastic evidence bag. Millie also glanced and she then remembered when she stood at the door watching Kalista play with Jessica using the bear.

"Oh goodness." Millie then said aloud. The agents nearest her turned to see her with her hands over her mouth and her eyes wide.

"Is anything wrong?" a female agent that went by the name Marshall asked.

"The other day." She began as her eyes followed the teddy bear. "I was watching Kalista and Jessica play and my cell phone rang. The person said something about hide the child, the child is in danger. I just thought it was a prank or they had the wrong number so I hung up."

"The person on the other line a man or woman?" Agent Marshall asked.

"I think a woman. They had a European accent like a slight mix of French and German." Millie said as she started shaking. "I ignored it. It's my fault." Millie then went into hysterical tears for at least the 20th time during the day. Kalista grabbed her into a hug.

"It's not your fault Mrs. Poole." Kalista said clearly with her Greek accent as she rubbed Millie's back.

Riley walked into the room with a McDonalds bag. He sat the bag on the table in front of where Millie sat. He looked up at the agents who stood there in conversation. "Anything new?" he asked.

"Mrs. Poole received a call from an unknown person days ago that stated something about a child in danger. We are tracking her telephone records now." Agent Marshall said.

Riley turned to Millie and sat down next to her. "Millie why didn't you tell me about the call you got?" he asked.

Millie looked up at him and sighed. "I thought it was a prank call or a wrong number when I got it. I just ignored it." Millie then looked down at the table before looking back up at Riley. "Riley I'm scared."

"I am too." Riley said. He then started to pull out food fro the McDonalds bag that the had brought in. "Here you should eat."

"I'm not hungry." Millie said.

"I know you don't have the desire to eat, but you've got to get something in your stomach." Riley said as he handed Millie a cheeseburger.

"I can't eat." Millie said as she stood and walked out of the kitchen. Riley jogged out after her. They were soon standing alone in their bedroom. Millie looked out the window at all the police cars that were in front of the house along with news vans that had arrived that afternoon. "I can't take this!"

"Millie I understand." Riley said as he walked over to the window and put his arm on her shoulder.

Millie turned to him with tears in her already red eyes. "I just want my baby home safe." She then turned back to the window. "Maybe my mother was right about me marrying you."

"Excuse me?" Riley asked.

"Maybe she was right. She always warned me that it was a bad idea with you being a treasure hunter and all. She warned that maybe someone might want to hurt you and in turn our family and her warning has become a reality. My mum was right." Millie said with tears streaming down her face.

"She wasn't." Riley said as he turned to his wife who refused to look at him.

"I made a mistake. I would have never been in this situation if I had stayed in London like my mother asked me when I went home after my 6 week visit." Millie said as she walked over to the bed and sat down.

"Millie, I love you and that is going to get us through this. I just know it." Riley said.

"No, it's not Riley!" yelled Millie. "Don't you understand someone has our baby and they could kill her and all because of you." Millie walked to the closet and started pulling out clothes and throwing them into a duffle bag.

"Millie what are you doing?" Riley asked.

"I can't sleep here tonight." Millie said at once.

"Okay we won't." Riley said.

"No Riley. I'm going not you." Millie said as she picked up the bag. "I just want my baby back and when this is over I'm going back to London with mum." Millie walked out of the room with tears falling down her face. She went downstairs to find her mother and Bradford sitting in the living room.

"Millicent are you leaving?" Heather asked.

"I can't stay here tonight. I need to go." Millie said at once.

"My hotel room is a penthouse suite with an extra bedroom. You're welcome to stay with me." Bradford said.

"That would be nice. Can we go now?" Millie asked.

"Of course." Bradford said as he stood and walked over to Millie. He placed his hand on the small of her back as he led her out of the front door. Heather wasn't far behind them as they walked out of the house.

Riley stood in the bedroom looking out the window as he watched Millie get into the car with Bradford and Heather.

"I've got to get my daughter back." Riley said as he ran out of the room and made his way into his office that was filled with various computers and computer equipment. He opened up his laptop and went to work.

A/N: It was a bit short I know, sorry.
