Aiden didn't like it here, the room was to dark and he could hardly breath. He didn't understand why he was here, where's mommy? The bad man hurt Uncle Grayson and Mommy, then he took him to this bad place.

"...I'm Sure the boy will be just fine." The bad man said to another man that he didn't know. Aiden heard the door to the room open and light filtered through the door way and into his eyes. The bad man stomped down the steps until he was right in front of the boy, they had put him in to a medium dog crate. "You be good now." He warned him.

"Mommy!" He yelled definitely. Mommy will find him, he was sure of it. The bad man smacked the side of the cage which made Aiden's head bounce off the other side.

"Your Mommy is gone! She's not coming to get you." Tears welled up in his eyes not only from the pain in his head but also the mean words that were coming from the bad man. "This is your home now! Deal with it." With that he stood up and followed the other man out before closing the door leaving a crying Aiden in complete darkness.

After my little confession it didn't matter what sort of alibi the men had when Adien was taken, each and everyone of their houses were searched. Aaron sure of that.

So far they've searched three of the men's homes and found over 20 girls, but no Aiden. I was losing hope that they would ever find him, it was almost like there was an hourglass inside my head that was almost empty.

"Eliza." I jumped at the sound of Aaron's voice, I hadn't even heard him come in. "We found Nathan." My hand drifted up to the still healing burse that took up the left side of my face. Nathan was the main person in my nightmares, he might not have been where they started but he differently made them into what they are today.

"Did he have Aiden?" There was a very large part of me that wanted hi to tell me yes, but at the same time I wanted him to say no. Just the idea of that poor excuse for a man having any sort of contact with my son made me want to rip someone's head clean off.

"No, but Aiden's jacket was in the back seat." I felt my heart stop, his jacket? So he did have him, but where is he now? "The police found him in Florida."

"In Florida? Does that mean my son is in Florida?" Even a deaf child would have been able to hear the hysteria in my voice.

"That's what we think. We're going to interrogate Nathan."

"So I just stay here then?" I went from crying to sarcastic in less then five seconds, that's a new record for me. Aaron picked up on it.

"I don't think its a good idea for you and Nathan to be in the same place." He said the words carefully and I had a hard time not snapping at him. His face has been the only one I've seen for the last 24 hours and being in this room for that long has made me want to rip my own hair out.

"Bad for him or me?" My arms were crossed and I hoped he could tell I wasn't letting him go anywhere without me. "He might talk to me. He likes to play games and I know for a fact he would let something slip if he thought it would hurt me." It was true, for the amount of time I was with Nathan that's all he would do.

"Or he'll try to mess with your head and send us on false leads.

"He'll do that anyway." I stepped closer. "Please, I know how he thinks and the longer we stand here arguing the longer my son is out there by himself."
