Chapter 7

CARRICK'S POV:

I can't believe this, my wife and daughter-in-law are gone, kidnapped by some group of men, and my son is supposed to be dead right now. I've been informed that we all need to go to Escala, and stay put until everything is resolved. I know Taylor has a good team trying to bring back the ladies, and I need to trust him in what he is doing. If bringing us all together will keep us safer, then I'm not going to complain. I just want my family back home, and my wife safe in my arms.

I tried calling Mia to see when she's planning on arriving, but it just goes to her voicemail. I tried to call Elliot, but Kate answered his phone. Apparently he left it at home when he went out to the store. So I can only hope that they arrive soon. Without seeing them in the flesh I'm going to worry for their safety. I'm in the elevator with my two PPO's, my security was increased yesterday, and I'm not going to fight it. If Christian believes that I needed another bodyguard for him to feel a little more secure, I won't argue. Right now he needs all the insurance he can get.

The elevator pings and I'm greeted in the foyer by Taylor, who shakes my hand and tells me he needed to talk to me and Christian. He just found out some news that we are not going to like. Fear is gripping my heart to know what he just found out, and I make my way over to sit next to my son. I see him there, sitting on the couch with this head in his hands, just pulling a bit on his hair. I could tell this situation was making him uneasy. I went to sit next to him, and he looked at me to acknowledge my presence. I saw his grey eyes so sad, that my heart was truly feeling for him. I know that I am hurting having my wife missing, but he is also missing his wife and child and mother. I put my hand on his shoulder, and he covered my hand with his. It was an unspoken communication between us. Taylor took a seat across from us, and started to inform me of what has been happening. But then he said there was something else, something he was just notified of. I listened intently as Taylor told us that one of my children is missing, and he believes they were abducted by the same people.

I want to know who is doing this and why!

TAYLOR'S POV:

I told Christian and Carrick about the information we found out but didn't go into detail until Welch called me over. When I reached the computer he was sitting at, he told me that the signal had stopped inside of town just a ways from where the house in the woods was. I checked the signal for myself, and called Buck to see where his team was. He answered after the first ring, and told me he saw it stop too, and is only fifteen minutes from the destination. Adams is clear with the house and is not far behind them on the trail. That gives me a bit of peace of mind, but I want them brought home right now! And then the matter of another missing person, they didn't have time to bring them all together just yet. So we need to handle this situation carefully. I hang up with Buck after telling him to just survey the place when he arrives, and wait for Adams before we decide the next course of action.

I call Adams to find out what clues he may have found. He said nothing that could lead us to a specific person, but someone was definitely kept there. There were a couple of mattresses down in the basement, but nothing else anywhere to indicate future whereabouts. I thanked him and told him that Buck was waiting for him. All I can do now is wait. I watch the signal as it's stopped at what looks like a small house just inside of town, and I'm hoping that they don't leave there. I'm tired of this cat and mouse game, it's time to shut it down.

I look over to Christian sitting next to his father, he's watching Ana's signal too. I can see a little ray of hope on his face as he notices it has stopped as well. He looks up at me, and I can tell he wants answers. So I go back over to sit with them and start explaining what the team is doing right now, and what our next course of action may be. We are still not sure who is behind this, but we will soon find out. After I finished explaining the plan to them, my phone rings. It's Buck.

He tells me that his team is set up watching a little run down house just on the other side of town, not many neighbors, and not much commotion coming out. He sent someone close enough for a check to see who is in there, and they can only hear out some voices, both male and female. He's waiting for Adams to show up, who is only five minutes away. I tell him to keep me informed.

I stand up to walk to the kitchen to see my girl, my Gail can always make me feel better, and right now, I need her. I put my arms around her as she was traying up some fruit and cheese for everyone. I'm amazed at how calm she can seem to be when everything is a whirlwind. I know that she is hurting inside too, she and Ana have become good friends, and she's worried for everyone. But she continues to try to make everyone feel comfortable, and I love that about her. She turned around and put her arms around me and just let me hold her, hug her, a connection I need to bring my head more focus in this game. I give her a chaste kiss on her forehead when my phone rang.

Upon answering it, I was hoping for good news, but only got confirmation that Adams arrived, and they are staking out a plan. There is movement in the house, and no one is aware that my team is just outside the door. I told them to be careful, but they needed to go in and investigate. I hung up and just sighed. This is it, the moment I've been waiting for, the rescue operation is underway. Within moments I should get a call to confirm that the Grey's are safe, and on their way home. I mindlessly took a couple of grapes off of the tray Gail was preparing, watching the signal on my phone for positive movement, and begging it to ring with good news.

It wasn't long before I got my call.

"Well?" I asked, please tell me good news. I can't take anything else bad.

Adams paused a moment before he continued, "T, this is going to be harder than we thought!"
