So here it comes. A lot of drama and I must admit it was not that easy writing it and a lot of drama will follow. First of all, THANK you so much for all your ideas, reviews...I thought about everything a lot and I had to think a lot about it whether Sam is pregnant or not. Trust me...a lot will happen to the Bakers but the ones who read "Healing process" also know that I LOVE writing happy things in the end and funny moments. I hope you enjoy this one now. I don't know whether "enjoy" is the right word because some parts made me cry (lol) and I rewrote them. I'm just too connected to the little family "I" created (well, only Phoebe, Ben and so on. Of course the Bakers belong to Mark Schwahn"

xoxoxox your CaseyJr.!

Julian drove as fast as he could. He could not believe what was happening and he cursed that he could not reach Brooke, Sam or Ben. He had no clue why they were at the hospital and he could not believe that they left the two kids alone at home.

Meanwhile Kevin was inside the closet and heard Phoebe screaming. "Let go of me you assholes.", Phoebe kicked one of them against his leg. He immediately slapped her hard across the face, so that she fell backwards and onto the floor. Lucky barked all the time but the man just kicked him away. He was still too small to do any damage. Kevin took a deep breath and then ran outside to help his sister. There was no way that he could stay in the closet and listen to the men hitting Phoebe again and again.

"Fuck. She bit me.", one man said and Kevin screamed when this man started to hit Phoebe into her stomach over and over again and she just held up her hands to defend herself but fell to her knees in pain and whimpered.

"Leave her alone.", Kevin screamed and threw a plate against the man that just rolled his eyes and threw him onto the couch as if he was a feather to him.

Phoebe managed to stand up and catch Lucky and then ran to the door in pain. She had a clue what those men wanted from her and she feared that they would succeed and kidnap her. Unfortunately the man was faster and took her at her hair and pulled her backwards. She fell to the floor very hard again but managed to kick him against his nose, which started to bleed. It was not the first time that she had to fight but those men were way bigger and merciless.

"Fuck.", the man screamed in pain and then took Phoebe at her throat and pulled her closely to his face while she tried to catch breath and then kicked him into his stomach.

"You fucking whore. No doubt. You're Bill's daughter.", he threw her over the table and all the plates fell down with her.

Kevin ran towards her and could tell that she was in pain and tried to defend his little sister by standing in front of her, "Please, just leave us alone.", Phoebe felt a little dizzy from her fall and moaned in pain. Then everything happened very fast. Lucky bit the man and he looked down at the dog and kicked him over and over again.

"Nooooooooooooo.", Kevin and Phoebe screamed and wanted to run to the small and whimpering dog but the other man held them tightly and they had to watch how he threw Lucky against the wall and Lucky did not move any more in the end.

"You asshole. You asshole.", Phoebe started to scream and cry while Kevin could not believe what was happening and just stared at the dog that was not making any sounds any more and did not move. She tried to get free by kicking, screaming, biting but nothing worked and the man just rolled his eyes and then took out a handkerchief and put something onto it.

"Shut up girl.", he said and held it onto Phoebe's nose and mouth, who tried to get away but then her eyes rolled back and she lost consciousness and the man just took her into his arms while her face was wet from all her tears.

"Tell your family hi, boy.", they laughed and walked outside with Phoebe. Kevin stood still for a while and looked at Lucky. It seemed like he was in trance but then he started running and he was definitely a fast runner. When the two men were inside the black car, he managed to open the door and jumped inside as well. He did not care what would happen to him but there was no way that he would leave Phoebe alone. No way.

Sam cried in Brooke's arms and did not know what to do. Ben stood a little helpless at their side and went through his hair and felt like their whole world was going to change now. "I can't be pregnant mom. I can't be.", Sam cried heavily while Brooke went through her hair and kissed Sam's forehead. Of course she was confused, mad and disappointed as well but she knew that she had to be there for her daughter now. It had been the same with Haley a long time ago.

"We'll get through it Sam.", Brooke took her hands around her daughter's face and made her look at her while she cried herself. "It's not the end of the world.", Brooke tried to reassure herself but she felt like a failed mother. She hugged Sam tightly and then held out her hand and Ben took it and looked guiltily at her.

"How can I tell dad?", Sam whispered and knew that Julian would freak out even more and would be totally disappointed. Brooke kissed her forehead again. The three of them talked a while in the car and thought that Julian would be home with the kids right now. But when Brooke turned on her mobile again and saw over fifty missed calls by Julian, she knew that something was not right.

"Hey honey…", Brooke started.

"Why the hell was your mobile turned off?", Julian screamed into the phone and could not stop the tears that streamed down his face.

"Are you okay?", Brooke asked worried.

"No, I am not. We are not. They…Phoebe and Kevin…they…were kidnapped.", Brooke stopped walking and did not know what to say in this moment. Her oldest daughter was pregnant and Phoebe and Kevin were kidnapped. At first she thought that this was a joke. She wished so badly that this would be a joke but she knew that Julian would never do those kinds of jokes.

"Mom. What's wrong?", Sam saw the paleness on Brooke's face and worried.

"Where…but…", Brooke started to stutter and then she started to run. She did not want to believe it. There was no way that Kevin and Phoebe were kidnapped. They would be home with Julian and laughing or arguing.

Sam and Ben were confused and ran after her, "Mom, what's wrong?", Sam screamed after Brooke. All of them gasped when they ran into the house and saw the chaos and police officers inside that looked for evidences. They heard someone saying that they found some blood on the wall and a puppy.

Then they saw Julian talking to one officer and showing pictures of Kevin and Phoebe, "They are this big and Phoebe is nine and Kevin is twelve and…", Julian turned around with his red eyes from the tears and then saw his family. He immediately walked over to them and slung his arms around them. Brooke cried into his chest, "It's my fault. Oh my god. It is my fault. I left them alone.", Brooke whispered but Julian shook his head.

"We have to get them back." And then suddenly Julian had an idea, "We have a camera outside officer.", he said and ran to it and came back with a small tape.

Everyone gasped and held their breath when they saw how two big men dressed in black were walking outside the house with masks on their faces and an unconscious Phoebe in their arm. And then they were shocked when they saw Kevin jumping into the car as well.

"We will do everything to find her. The chances are high in the first 24 hours.", Ben suddenly burst out at this comment from one officer.

"The chances are not high. They are in the hands of men who know how to hide and..."

"What do you mean boy?", an officer asked while Ben went through his hair and took out his mobile and called his father.

"Hey son. How are you doing?" Ben waited a moment, "They got her dad. Those bastards got them dad.", Ben said furiously and hit the wall behind him with his fist. He did not care a second that he was bleeding a little now. His pumpkin was gone and he knew that they would not treat them nicely.

Jim did not answer at first but then everyone started hearing his screams, "Those mother fucking assholes. I will kill them. How long ago Ben?"

"About an hour."

"I will send my men to every part. Police involved?"

"Yes."

"Great. Those idiots won't help a minute. I am on my way. Stay put.", Ben nodded and the officer asked him again some questions.

"My cousin is in the hands of some men you may know. The circle of power"

The officers widened his eyes. They had tried to destroy them for years. They were powerful men that were known in criminal actions and especially with child prostitution but they had never come to a place like Tree Hill. "My uncle sold Phoebe to them years ago but we thought they stopped looking for her."

Sam ran into Phoebe's room and started to scream, "Noooo. I'm dreaming. This can't be happening. This…tell me I'm dreaming Ben.", Sam started to scream. Ben just looked sadly at her. "No. My sister and brother aren't gone. This can't be happening. This can't be.", Sam fell onto the floor with her knees and cried into her hands. Ben immediately walked over to Sam and slung his arms around her. Everyone felt the same sadness and guilt and did not know what to do.

"I don't want that child. I don't want it. I want my sister and brother back."

"What child?", Julian asked confused and wiped his tears. Although Sam and Ben did not answer, he knew about what child they were talking. He looked disappointed at Sam and Ben but did not say anything.

"Dad…I…", Sam wanted to say something but Julian just stood up.

"Not now. Not now Sam.", he walked to the officers and continued showing them pictures and asked questions how they would proceed. Brooke went to them as well while Sam stood up and ran into her room and cried into her pillow.

"It's my fault. It is all my fault.", Sam sobbed.

"No, it's not. It's those bastard's fault and…"

"What will they do to them Ben? I need my sister and brother. I need them.", Sam continued crying while Ben held her tightly and the tears streamed down as well.

"We'll get them back. I'll swear to god, I'll kill them if they hurt them.", Ben whispered but knew that they probably already hurt them.

Phoebe touched her forehead when she gained consciousness. "Mom.", she whispered but them remembered what had happened and panicked when she could not see anything and tried to sit but just hit her head on the deck. "Let me out. Let me out.", she kicked and screamed from inside the car and started to cry and cough.

Meanwhile Kevin did not really know what would happen to them. Of course the men were angry that he had followed them and now he had a tape over his mouth and his hands were handcuffed in the back.

"We were not supposed to hit that little bitch.", one men said to the driver.

"Well, those bruises will go away.", the next one laughed evil.

"And what do we do with you?", the man looked at Kevin and pointed the gun at his face. Kevin did not cry or scream but just looked terrified at the gun.

"We just take him with us. I bet this rich family will pay a lot to get him back.", Kevin heard Phoebe screaming from the back and wished that he could say something but the tape prevented him. After a while Phoebe stopped screaming and he just heard her crying.

She was afraid what would come next but she remembered what her uncle had told her years ago and she knew what she had to do. She wiped her tears and tried to be strong.

xxxxxxx

"If they ever get you pumpkin, they will sell you to the man that pays the most for you. Do you understand me?", a very young Phoebe looked terrified at him and nodded.

"Make them hurt you. Make them hit you in the face so that they cannot sell you. They won't show you to any man with any bruises or scratches. Do you understand me?"

Phoebe nodded again in fear.

"Until we will get you back, talk back to them, stay strong and show them no fear."

Phoebe took a deep breath and knew that this was easy to say but not easy to do. She changed into the fetus position and just thought of her family. She hoped that she would see them again in the future. Right now she had no clue that Kevin was in the same car with her.

"But what…what are we supposed to do?", Brooke walked after the police officers when they wanted to leave the house.

"Madam, right now all you can do is wait. We do our best to…"

"Your best. My two kids are in the hands of…of…merciless men. Your best isn't enough. We need them back.", Brooke screamed hysterically.

The officer just looked pitiful at her when Brooke broke down. She fell to her knees and cried into her hands.

Suddenly Ben jumped up. "Where are you going?", Sam asked confused.

"I can't sit here and do nothing. Every second counts and my dad and his men are on his way and…", then the bell rang and Ben knew who it was. His father and mother were standing in front of him with mad and sad faces.

"Hello son.", Jim came inside and if you did not know that he was a nice man one would fear him right now.

"Dad.", Ben said and looked to the ground. He felt like it was his fault that the two were kidnapped now. Maybe if he had not come to Tree Hill in the first place, they would still be with them now.

Nobody had expected to meet again like this. Julian took his hand and looked at Brooke. She was sitting on the couch and looked into space. She was obviously in shock and the tears streamed down her face.

"Brooke. We will get them back.", Jim said and looked at his wife when Brooke did not react. Macy went over to Brooke and took her hand into hers.

"Phoebe is a survivor. We will find her and Kevin.", Macy said softly and took her arms around the young woman. Brooke immediately started crying even heavier and nodded.

"It is my fault. It is my fault. I left them alone.", she cried into the woman's chest.

"Look at me Brooke. It is not your fault. It was not the first time that Phoebe was alone at home and those bastards would have gotten her even if you were at home at the time.", Brooke looked shocked at Macy.

"What…what are they going to do with them?", she asked and worried the answer. Of course she already knew it but somehow she needed to hear it again. Ben, Jim and Macy looked at each other and did not know what to say.

"We get them back Brooke. Nobody messes with my family.", Jim said and squeezed Julian's shoulder. The day was horrible. While Jim talked to a lot of people on the phone, Julian followed him wherever he was going. He needed to do anything. He could not just sit down and cry and unfortunately he could not calm down Brooke any more. Deep down he was mad at her that she had left the two alone. He could not understand it but he knew that nobody meant any of this to happen.

Phoebe tried to listen what the men were saying but could not understand a word. Suddenly the car stopped and her heart started to beat faster. Although she did not like being in the car without much of air, she preferred that than getting outside and meeting those scary men again. But now the moment arrived. The men opened the deck and with one jump Phoebe jumped out of the car and ran. She had no clue where she was and just ran. The man just rolled his eyes and walked after her. He pushed her so that she fell to the ground and then he took her up into his arms. But of course Phoebe fought back.

"Leave me alone you ugly shithead.", she scratched his face and the man just threw her onto the ground hard. Phoebe fell onto chest and stayed mute for a while but then she started to scream when the pain hit her. She screamed so loud that even the man shivered a little. Not because he felt any pity but because he had not meant to hurt her like this.

"Shit.", the next man came over and kneed down and looked at Phoebe who held her chest in pain and had trouble breathing. She tried to get free when the man picked her up again but he just rolled his eyes. Phoebe cried heavily but the man just took his hand over her mouth and walked inside with her. They walked into a small house with just two rooms and lay her down on the bed and Kevin onto the floor with his ropes and then locked the door.

It was then she saw Kevin on the ground. She did not understand why he was with her and tried to stand up but felt dizzy from the pain. Nevertheless she managed to sit down besides him and tried to open his ropes. Unfortunately it took a while because it felt like her chest was burning.

"What happened?.", Kevin sat down besides her and took his arm around Phoebe whose head immediately fell onto his shoulder while the tears streamed down her face.

"It…it…hurts so bad.", Phoebe whispered and then she had to puke from all the pain. Kevin could tell how sweaty and pale she looked and stood up to find a way outside. But the windows were locked too and there was no way to get out. "Lucky is dead.", Phoebe sobbed and Kevin kneed down in front of her. "It's my fault."

"No, it's not. Maybe…maybe he isn't…", he took her hand into his and squeezed it. Of course he was in fear as well but he was in a way better shape than Phoebe.

"I promised to take care of him. I failed.", Phoebe cried even heavier and flinched in pain. Kevin sat down besides her again and let her head rest in his lap.

Haley, Nathan and Jamie came over immediately and could not believe what was happening. They immediately did anything to support their friends. They stayed the whole night and Haley held Brooke tightly and rocked her back and forth while Jamie, Nathan and Julian listened to everything Jim was saying. He obviously knew what to do and told them that the police wouldn't succeed because they would not have any spoolies in that circle. But he did and he wanted to destroy that circle for so long now.

Macy cooked for all of them with Sam. She needed to do anything and this was the only way she could help right now. She took her arm around Sam who cried into her shoulder.

"We get them back and everything will be all right.", Macy whispered and touched Sam's stomach but she knew that the next hours would be hell for them, especially for Phoebe. She had been in that circle as a child and Jim had saved her. But she knew what Phoebe would have to go through, she had had to endure that for years.

The next morning Kevin and Phoebe heard footsteps. Both of them stiffened up when the door opened and a new man came inside. He kneed down in front of them and just smiled and then took Phoebe's chin into his hand. Kevin immediately slapped his hand away and the man looked at him.

"You're her brother, huh?", he laughed and then looked from one kid to another.

"So, we finally got you. Bill Ferguson's daughter. I heard it was not that easy getting you to come with us, honey.", he went through her hair but Kevin pushed him away again.

"Leave her alone.", he tried to be brave.

"Yes I am and you stink out of your mouth.", Phoebe looked at the man who could not believe what Phoebe had said. She really tried to be brave but in reality all she wanted now way lying in her parents' arms.

"She's worth a fortune.", the man laughed and then he took Phoebe's hand and pulled her into a standing position.

"Owwww…", Phoebe immediately held her chest again and had trouble breathing.

"What did you do to her?", the man asked madly while the others held back Kevin who wanted to help her.

"She fell to the floor a little too hard.", one man apologized while the other one immediately rolled his eyes and then forced Phoebe out of her shirt. She tried to hide her naked upper body but the man was stronger.

"Great. Blue marks everywhere. Now we have to wait longer until we can sell her.", Phoebe did not know what to say and shivered. She felt so small right now and knew that she had no chance against those men. And in reality she feared them and everything that would happen to her very much. She sat down on the bed again when the men left the room. She had still trouble breathing and held her chest and bit her lip. It hurt so badly. Kevin looked down at his sister and then got out of his shirt.

"Here. Wear it.", he whispered and Phoebe nodded and pulled it over her head. Both of them stiffened up when the door opened again after some hours. But this time it was not a grown-up. It was a very young man that looked around seventeen. The boy looked pitiful at Kevin and Phoebe and wanted to say something but a man yelled at him from another room. The young man looked back in panic and then threw something inside and closed the door fast. Kevin ran towards it and looked down at it. His eyes widened and he held it up, "It's a mobile Phoebe."
