Happy chapter, I promise. Well, it ends happy anyway.
Will woke up a bit from his deluded state a few hours later and looked to his side where Caroline was pleasantly sleeping.
He carefully got out of the bed and went into the bathroom where he heaved again due to the drugs. He knew she was giving him some kind of drug, but he just couldn't pinpoint which one. However she had stopped with the needles. For that he was grateful.
Will sat with his back against the bathtub and pinched his arm.
This wasn't a dream or anything else. It was all real; every moment.Now he had to try and do something to get out of this. Anything at all.
But now there was also Rebecca to think about. Caroline would more than likely not let either of them out of her sight for too long.
There had to be some way that they could get their hands on a phone. A computer. Another person?!
"Will? Where are you?" Caroline called.
Will shut his eyes tightly before responding. "I'll be there in a second my love."
He'd just have to play along for now. He just hoped Elizabeth would find it in her heart to forgive him later.
The next morning, Caroline opened Rebecca's bedroom door to find the girl sitting at the foot of the bed fast asleep.
"Darling," she practically shouted causing the poor girl to jump. "Come downstairs for breakfast love."
Rebecca looked around again and realized she was in the mysterious bedroom. She got to her feet and slowly went down the stairs to her supposed doom.
Will was already at the table with a cup of hot tea and some toast by him as he sat with his head in his hands.
Caroline was at the stove cooking up some...something.
Will sent Rebecca a nod to which she nodded back. The phone rang suddenly and Caroline took the food off of the stove and left the room to answer.
"Rebecca," Will whispered in a hoarse voice.
She looked to him with scared eyes.
"Tonight I am going to try and get us out of here; alright?"
"Okay Mr. Turner," she said fighting back the urge to cry.
Caroline re-entered the room. "It was a lovely woman I know who cannot seem to locate her daughter. I sent our prayers over to her. More tea Cutler?"
Cutler?
Rebecca looked to Will but he slowly shook his head unsure of what was really going on.
It seemed like she might've finally lost it completely. She brought the plate of eggs to Rebecca.
"Here you are Margaret."
Caroline took a seat next to Will and didn't eat anything herself. Slowly Rebecca picked up her fork and put the food into her mouth hoping it wasn't poisoned.
The day went by and Rebecca was locked in the room after dinner.
Right now Caroline was lying by Will's side drawing little circles on his arm.
"I love you Cutler."
Will swallowed and looked to his side. "I love you too," he said grabbing hold of the lamp.
In one quick motion, he struck her in the head causing her to go unconscious.
"Sorry," he muttered wrenching his arm away and running to Rebecca's bedroom.
"Rebecca!" he shouted trying to turn the knob.
"It's locked Mr. Turner."
"Stand back."
Will kicked the door down using most of his remaining strength, grabbed the girl's hand and ran to the front door. The two ran outside and as far from the house as they could without stopping.
The Sparrows were absolutely beside themselves with worry. They thought that when Will disappeared that it couldn't get any worse.
Now that their little girl was gone however...
They had absolutely no idea where she might be or who in the world could have her. When they got the call from Charlotte, they told her to remain where she was because officers were going to be dropping in as soon as possible to ask her questions.
Jack could tell from her voice that she had nothing to do with it, but it never hurt to be extra sure.
Elizabeth and Willie had come to visit and comfort them. Elizabeth and Ana held onto each other while Willie just sat to the side staring at his feet.
Jack was in the armchair tapping his fingers. "Why the hell aren't they calling us?"
"Give it some time Jack," Ana said.
"She's right Jack," Elizabeth said, "You of all people should know that."
The main station was tracking their calls so that if the person called, then they'd know exactly where they were.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
Everyone looked at it and Jack answered.
"Hello?" he said. There was a pause. "Hello?" Jack said again with more urgency.
"...Jack?"
The voice was hoarse but he'd recognize it anywhere.
"William?"
Willie jumped out of his seat and Elizabeth burst into tears.
"Daddy!" a young girl said excitedly.
"Rebecca; you're both together."
"Jack, we're getting a cab. We should be there in a few hours," Will said.
"Alright, we'll all be waiting."
Jack hung up and everyone came together for a group hug. They were on their way. It was only a matter of time.
Yay! And no, the food wasn't poisoned (in case you were worried)
