Georgia's POV

I am so confused. Does mummy love me? Does Leo?

But daddy did used to hit everything including mummy. How is that good? But he wouldn't have hit her unless mummy had done something really wrong.

Surely if they loved me they wouldn't have lied to me. Mummy promised that daddy wouldn't come back, but here he is… he has me and is even giving me sweets. Mummy always says sweets are bad for me but they don't taste that way.

Maybe she's a liar and it's all been one huge laugh for Leo and her to take me and lie to me and try and push me away from daddy.

Well, I'll leave my bracelet that I made with Leo here just in case the police find it. It could help… I saw it on that film The Mummy Returns. That kid was so cool. Maybe if the police just pick me up then I won't be so confused.

This isn't fair, I don't know what to do. I'm crying by now and daddy is telling me that big girls don't cry but I don't care, I just want to go to sleep. So that's what I do.

"Which way did the car go?" Piper asked frantically to the assistant at the nursery.

"Well, that way," she replied, pointing down the left side of the street, "But they could be anywhere by now. You just need to let the police take it from here."

"No, I can't do that," Piper said, anger rising in her voice, the frustration becoming too much for her to handle. She stepped away from Miss Hardy and walked straight into Leo's arms. How was she going to get through this? What if Georgia was never found?

"Shhhhhh…" Leo soothed as he stroked Piper's silky hair. She was determined not to brake down, she was stronger than that, but his warm embrace was too much to resist. She sobbed into his shirt until it was soaked through, all her mascara was streaked down, she looked like a wreck but he didn't care. He thought she looked the most beautiful he'd ever seen her. His eyes were not full of sympathy or pity but of determination and as Piper looked up from her sobbing spot and into the deep pools that you could drown in in a single second, she was filled with the same hope as he had.

"Come on, you've left a description and a picture of Georgia with the police, there's nothing more we can do here. Let's go," Leo said, ready to take on the world for a single woman and her daughter.

Piper and Leo pulled up at an empty warehouse after 2 hours of looking for deserted places. They reached the huge iron doors and slid them open to find a couple of chairs and some rope. Piper noticed something by the chair in the middle of the room. She bent down to pick it up. She looked back at Leo as he saw what she was holding. Leo already desperately missed the little runt, she was too precious and lovely to kidnap. When Leo got his hands on that dirt-bag Dan, there would not be a lot left of him.

"So, that means they were here. That kind of helps. They can't have gone that far. So we just need to find another empty warehouse within a 2 hour radius." Piper smiled, determined not to give up hope although it was looking bleaker and bleaker.

Piper's cell phone rang at that point.

"Hello? Yes this is she. Umm… yep… sure… well how long ago was that? Yep… ok, thank you officer," Piper flipped her phone down and put it back in her pocket.

"That was the police, after the announcements were made over the radio and news, there have been two sights of the car and Georgia with Dan and two other people. They just passed through a town north of the bridge. They've got the helicopters on them and they're getting close," Piper paused for breath and said in a small voice "I just want her back."

"I know you do, so do I, that is why we're going over there now to find her. Come on…" He held out his hand, which she took and got pulled towards the car with.

After driving the 20-minute drive to North Bay, they decided to ring the police again to see if there was any progress on their location. Piper had not let go of the bracelet even when Leo tried to take it from her. Her persistence was bringing out the darker side of Piper but Leo just looked on with admiration for her. She was so strong and passionate and even though it wasn't the best time, he could feel himself falling madly in love with her, which he was fine with. Would this incident be too much though?

Piper came off the phone and smiled, "They know where they're hiding, come on… it's about a 5 minute drive."

Piper led the way and Leo just followed still in awe that she was coping with this even better than he was. Determination really was a very powerful thing.

They pulled up outside an old house. Police were surrounding the area, guns in hand, speakerphones going off. It suddenly dawned on Piper what was going on and it took just one squeeze from Leo's hand to help her continue. She was so grateful he was there.

"Come out with your hands up and you won't get hurt," the policeman with the speaker said.

"That's not going to work, he won't come out until he has what he wants. Let us go in there," Piper said, gesturing towards her and Leo.

"I'm afraid it's too dangerous madam, you'll just have to wait out here." He answered

"You don't understand, my daughter is in there, you have to let us go in before anyone gets hurt. He won't kill us…" Piper paused whilst the officer thought it over. "Look give us some protection and we'll be fine."

"Okay, but don't be too long and take these to contact us with, we won't contact you until you speak to us." The officer filled the 2 of them in on what was going to happen whilst he attached the walkie-talkies.

Piper and Leo were ready to go in, padded with guns, protection and God knows what else. They started down the long path to the abandoned house, through the neglected garden and walked through the unlocked creaky door. The dust covered the couple so they were barely recognizable but still they continued until there was a gun pointing each of them in the forehead.
