"So, you think Ian is going to go after Peyton?" Officer Wilcox looked at him, and for a split second Lucas wondered if he and Haley had come to the wrong conclusion. He and Peyton were at the police station. They left Brooke and Haley with the kids and gave them a strict order of not leaving the house.

Lucas looked to Peyton who gave him a reassuring smile and back at the officer in front of him. "Yeah. I think he's really after Peyton."

Wilcox leaned back in his chair and looked at the two of them. "Tell me again how you came to this conclusion?"

"Well," Lucas started, sitting up in the chair as he told the story for Peyton. "After the second attack, on our prom night, Peyton and Brooke, Broke Davis, researched him-Ian Banks and found out he had a previous girlfriend, Maggie who died in a car accident. Ian was driving. Maggie and Peyton look a like, and that's what made Ian go crazy and attack her. He was trying to get his old life back. Ian broke out of jail, right. So, what's he going to go after? His old life. Ian and Maggie were engaged, right? So, it's safe to say that they would have a kid."

"And Luke and Ian look similar," Peyton continued. "And Sawyer, our daughter, is a perfect mix. So, if he gets me and Sawyer, he has his old life back right?"

"Look," The officer said, twirling the pencil in his hand. "I understand that you want your daughter back, I want her back, too, and we are doing everything we can to find her. Why don't you go home and spend some time with your other three and let me do my job?"

"Luke," Peyton placed a hand on his shoulder as he pulled out of the parking lot. "Luke, we're right, I know we are."

"Then why doesn't he?" Lucas seethed, hitting the steering wheel with his palm. "How can he think that we're just gonna sit back and let him do all the work? She's our daughter!"

"Well, we don't really need his permission, do we?"

He turned to look at her as they came up on a stop light. "What do you mean?"

"I haven't gone out in public, Luke." She told him. "That's probably what he's waiting for. He's not gonna risk coming into the house, is he? I can spend more time outside. When Nathan and Julian start their search tomorrow, I can go with them. It can't be that hard to get to Ian."

"I'm not gonna lie, Peyt. I'm not so sure about this whole using you as bait thing."

"I'm not gonna lie, Luke. You really don't have a choice. I can take care of myself against him, I've done it before, and I can protect Sawyer in the process."

Sawyer hated this. She was hungry, cold, and tired. Her hair was gross and greasy and her contacts were bugging her like crazy. She couldn't sleep while being tied to a chair, Psycho didn't feed her all that much, and she was really cold. She groaned and started screaming.

Right on cue, Psycho came running in and covered her mouth with a gag. This wasn't Sawyer's plan. She started pushing the gag with her tongue, trying to get it to go out of her mouth. Psycho saw this and held it there.

"What? Can't you just be patient? Momma will be here just as soon as I can get her. She doesn't go out in public, you know?"

Sawyer groaned, and glared at him.

"If I take off the gag, do you promise not to scream? Daddy doesn't like to gag his little princess."

Princess. The named pulled at her heart, and just made her want to see her parents more. He took off the gag, and Sawyer opened and closed her mouth, stretching out her cheeks. "First, I am not our princess. Second, I need to go to the bathroom."

"You just went!"

Every hour, on the hour, Psycho untied her, and gave her a bucket to sit on. It was disgusting, and made Sawyer throw up a couple of times. She rarely ever got something to drink, so she was dehydrated.
"It's not that…"

"Than what is it?"

"I'm a girl dude."

"You're like 12."

"11, actually. And I just started my period."

"Ew, that is so gross."

"It'll be even grosser if you don't buy me a pad or something or other."

"I don't have to do anything."

Sawyer glared at him. "Come on! If I'm your little girl, than you have to."

He groaned, and stepped back. "Fine. I'll go get you some…" He grimaced at the word. "..pads."

Sawyer grinned to herself as he walked out the door. This had to have some kind of an effect.

Peyton was sitting on the picnic bench at the river court. Brooke was sitting next to her. They had started on their plan. She would go out in public more often. She didn't want to, god knows she just wanted to stay in Sawyer's room and pretend she was just at school. This was killing her, slowly. But, she felt in her heart she was right about Ian, so she was going to save her daughter her way.

This was the spot everyone had met at to start the search and Peyton and Brooke were sitting on 'base'. Peyton thought of it as a really big game of hide and seek.

She picked up her phone when she heard it ring, answered it quickly when she saw it was Lucas. "Hey, what's up?"

"Officer Wilcox just called." Lucas said over the phone. "Ian was just spotted at the grocery store buying tampons and pads."

Tampons and pads? Peyton thought to herself. She closed her eyes. She was missing part of her daughter's life. "Oh, that's…"

"Interesting." Lucas finished for her. "But he's still in town, so our plan could work."

"What'd he say?" Brooke asked her best friend as she hung up the phone.

"Ian was spotted at the grocery store buying tampons and pads."

Brooke started laughing. Peyton slapped her arm playfully. "Brooke!"

"oh, come on," Brooke said in between laughs. "You have to admit, that's pretty funny. Either Mother nature had perfect timing for your daughter, or Sawyer is a freakin genius."

"I'm gonna go with the genius part."

Brooke's cell phone rang and she looked at the front. "Oh, It's my mother. Wait here."

She stood up and walked a couple of feet away, her back turned away from Peyton. Peyton pushed her curls out of her eyes and took a deep breath. She was about to stand up when a hand came from behind her head, covering her mouth. She felt a small prick on her shoulder and everything went black.

Well? Do you think Peyton will be able to save her daughter? Or will Ian drag them across the country, ripping them away from their family and friends?

Oh, and I'm sorry if anyone thought the whole period thing was offensive. (I doubt it was, but better safe than sorry)
