2 Days Later

Paige had finished the last minute arrangements for Maria's funeral. The viewing at the church was going to take place tomorrow at 10am followed by the burial. It turned out that the bullets that hit Maria, one had punctured her heart. The doctors tried their best, but she didn't make it. Paige had made several phone calls around the world to notify all of Maria's family members of the tragic death that took place two days. It was even harder telling them all that the person who killed Maria, was her ex-husband and he was still missing. It seemed as if that news was harder than the news of Maria being killed. Every phone call went from shock, sadness to anger when they found out the relation the murderer had with Paige.

Paige left the funeral home and drove home where Marco, Ellie, Hazel and Jimmy were waiting for her. They all had finished their work and told Paige they would be waiting for her at home when she got back. If it wasn't for her strong support of friends she may have broken down by now.

Next Day

At Church

Many people showed up at the Church in the usual black clothes. Paige's friends, co-workers, boss, Maria's family and other people from the community came by to give their respect.

"Paige, have you spoken to Alex or Lucy yet?" Ellie asked.

"Last conversation I had with Alex was when I was in the hospital and Maria was critical. She told me she was coming over, but never came. I guess she had a change of heart or something. I didn't call"

Ellie nodded and stepped out the church. She rang Alex's number only for it to go straight to voicemail. When she was about to leave a message, the operator instructed the voicemail was full. Ellie then called Alex's workplace. The law clerk had mentioned she hadn't seen Alex in the last few days and she had spoken to her last 2 days ago. Ellie then called Alex's home and Maria picked up the phone.

"Hey Maria! I was wondering if Alex was home?"

"No hun, Alex nor Lucy have been home in the last 2 days. They said they were going shopping. Maybe they went for a little vacation or something. Alex was really upset so maybe Lucy took her away for a few days to relax. Why hun?"

"Oh nothing. Its just her phone is off. She hasn't been to work and I needed to contact her. If she comes home can you tell her to call me please?"

"Sure"

Ellie hung up her cell, but had this strong feeling in her gut that something wasn't right. It wasn't Alex to just disappear or have her phone off, or not notify anyone about her whereabouts. Alex knew what was happening with Paige, and for her to not show up at the hospital just didn't seem like an Alex thing to do. Ellie went back into church to support Paige. She would wait after the burial to find out where Alex was.

Abandoned Warehouse

In the middle of nowhere was an abandoned warehouse that was probably left abandoned after a fire explosion had taken place over 15yrs ago and was beyond repairs. Inside, was a big room with this one light, broken windows, grey concrete floors, a cage and branches hitting the window with the light wind.

Lucy was bruised and left in the cage locked whilst Alex was tied to a chair beaten, bruised, bleeding by Spinner. Spinner had been watching Alex and Lucy leaving their home and followed them to the mall. When both the girls left, he followed them until they got to a road that didn't have any public or other cars and he decided to rear-end them pushing the car head first into a tree. He tied both the girls, duct tape their mouths and threw them in his truck. His truck was damaged from hitting the car, but not enough for the vehicle not to move. He drove another 50kms on the deserted road to a warehouse he had seemed to have found from before and brought the two girls inside.

Spinner had punched Lucy and threw her in the cage. He took both girls cell phone, smashed them on the floor and stepped on them to make sure they were not working at all. His target was Alex, it was just his luck to have Lucy to come too.

"So slut, 48 hours have gone and there is nobody looking for you. I guess nobody cares about the raven-hair slut. You see me and you are alike Alex! How? Paige, Jimmy, Hazel, Marco, Ellie I thought they were my friends, but when they find out that Paige left they all left me. They didn't care about me anymore. And now they don't care about you. And these are suppose to friends ey? As long as your treating Paige fine, they all love you. The second you do something that THEY don't find right, they abandon you! But you Alex, see my problem with you is.."

Spinner grabbed Alex's hair so that she could look at him

"Look at me when I'm talking to you" Alex tried to open her eyes, but was finding it difficult considering they were swollen from the few punches Spinner had hit across Alex's eyes.

"See my problem is that it was you who got Paige to file the divorce papers. It was you who threw me off your property when I was trying to save my marriage. It was you who got me thrown in jail. Its fucking you who is always in my way when it comes to Paige. But this is the funny part, I'm going to Paige's condo and I see her kissing a girl. I shoot her, I've probably killed her now that I think about it. The funny part is its not fucking you. Its some other chick that Paige is kissing. So that was a waste of my bullets and a body, so I find myself at your home watching you to leave. And well you know the rest"

"Wh-a-a-t the fuck do you want me from me Spinner?" Alex managed to spit out, also spitting out some blood.

"I want you to bring back Paige to me. I will let you leave, and your friend here too. If you don't tell the police about my whereabouts( because than I will just kill you both after I kill Paige in front of you) and just bring me Paige."

"How do I know you wont kill her" Alex whispered

"Because I fucking love her. Look how much I love her, I'm shooting people. I'm kidnapping people just to get my Paigey back!"

"You're a fucking psycho. Your friends left you because you're mentally gone. You were an ass to Paige when she was married to you, and you fucked it up with Paige and your friends. Had you been a half-decent guy today, she would probably be still married to you"

*Punch*

Spinner grabbed Alex by the chin and made her face him again. Only this time he was closer and Alex could feel his breath on her skin.

"Bring Paige to me or you and your friend can die a slow and miserable death. You choose!"

The burial was complete and everyone headed back home except for the few family members who went over to their cousin's home. Ellie kept on looking at her cell hoping Alex would ring or message. It just wasn't going right with Alex not being here.

"Ellie, you expecting a call or something? You've been looking at your cell every 5 minutes"

"Sorry Paige, I just don't know where Alex is. Her phone is off, her voicemail is full, her law clerk says she hasn't been at work for the last 2 days, Maria says she hasn't been home in 2 days. It just doesn't seem like Alex to just disappear with Lucy for 2 days without telling someone"

"It's okay hun. She probably needed a vacation or something. The last thing I told her before the hospital was that I was going to marry Maria. I could really tell that news didn't go so well with her. She probably thought everything would be okay with Maria and that I would be okay. Maybe things would be really awkward if she came"

"Paige, thanks for being all optimistic but this is Alex. This is not her to just go on vacation because things are awkward and I know how much that girl loves you, she would come running to the hospital if she knew you were distressed. Let's just go to the police station see if they have any updates on Spinner"

Police Station

Both Paige and Ellie waited in the waiting room for an officer to call them.

"Paige? I'm Detective Ryan Adams. Please follow me"

Both Paige and Ellie followed him into a boardroom. He instructed both girls to sit down as he closed the door.

"Okay, well we found an abandoned car that was struck into a tree from another car or truck from behind about 2 days ago. When we did the license plate search the car is registered under Alex Nunez. From my information she is a friend and your lawyer in the divorce matter. "

"She's been missing for the last 2 days sir and her friend, as well"

"Okay that's interesting because when we went to her house, her maid said she was gone on vacation with her friend. So my guys took it as maybe a hit and run or something"

"She's not on vacation" Ellie said a little irritated with the police conclusion on the incident.

"Well if that's the case then I'm guessing your ex Spinner probably has something to do with this accident and probably knows where these two girls are"

"Even I drawn that conclusion 10 minutes ago" Paige placed her hand on Ellie trying to calm her down.

"At the moment Ladies, my team hasn't found any evidence to help track down where the vehicle went if it was Spinner who hit them and drove off with them. We will try again to see if we find anything. Any updates we will let you know"

Paige and Ellie walked out of the police station.

"This is fucking messed up Paige! Spinner has kidnapped Alex and Lucy. We need to do something!"

"Hun, the police are on it. They will find them. "

"What if they are already dead? He's a fucking psycho"

"Ellie please don't do this right now! I just fucking lost my girlfriend and buried her less than an hour ago, I can't even think about losing Alex right now" Paige started crying. Ellie grabbed her and reassured her that everything will be okay.

Warehouse

"So what is it going to be Alex?"
