Okay, don't be surprised if I update a little more than I do usually. This is my current distraction from studying for the STAR :P
And I know that you guys are anxious to see Sarah's confession but I promise you guys will get it. I'm planning on ending this story in five more chapters. Hopefully.
Thank you guys for the reviews. I hope you guys stick with me for the last couple of chapters of this story.
Dedicated to Carol, as usual (:
Reviews, greatly appreciated.

Chapter 14

"Ready?" Jack talked through the mic on his sleeve looking at his distant right seeing Danny there nodding his head the response coming through his ear piece late. They were at a – typical – abandoned warehouse that Sarah had confessed they had planned to stash Samantha at when they get her. That had always been the plan and Sarah had assured them that her father didn't change the plans. After everything she had done to them, she begged them to believe her. The reason? Guilt was eating her up. Besides, suspect or not as FBI agents they knew when to read people, she seemed pretty damn honest during her confessions with Martin.

The SWAT team crept in quietly gear on as they had gone to the scene with Jack, Danny and the other Missing Persons team that was working the case with them.

"Ready?" The captain of the SWAT team asked his team members in a whisper as he looked left and right before kicking the door open letting sunlight get in the darkened – almost pitch black room. The sun had already set hours ago and they couldn't be able to see a thing without the help of the lights that they had brought.

Attached to the SWAT team's guns were lights where they used to search every corner of the space. They found nothing – not that they really had expected to. Seeing a door and hearing muffled sounds coming from it, they crept there slowly dimming the light attached to their guns to help them see what was going on. It was a staircase that led them lower at the basement of the building just as Sarah had described to Martin in her confession.

Jack and Danny moved in following the SWAT team their guns also raised up high ready to fire at anything and anyone. Adrenaline started pumping through their veins as they heard the dog like whimpers get closer and closer to them.

Everyone looked sharply wherever the light would shine scouring every inch of the surface below them as they saw nothing.

"Under the stairs," Danny whispered to Jack who found himself beside the other man. Jack motioned the captain of the SWAT team to continue his search downwards shinning the light below the staircase that the rest of them were standing on.

"She's alive!" they heard a bellow from below. Danny sighed relief masking his whole body.

"The suspect is MIA," another voice rang out to them as they ran down the stairs to see Samantha themselves. Just to satisfy their personal need. It seemed like they haven't seen her in forever.

Some people moved up the stairs to continue searching for Sarah's father and foster parents while Danny and Jack looked behind the staircase seeing Samantha handcuffed to the pole traces of blood on her once blond hair. Her head was bent down in defeat. In all honesty it didn't even look like she was living and breathing anymore. It just looked like she was left there to die by her captors.

"She has a pulse, we should take her out of here," Jack said moving back from Samantha's body using the walkie talkie that was attached to his side to call out somebody above to call for an ambulance if they hadn't already.

"You think she'll be okay?" Danny asked Jack looking down at his best friend – his sister. She had to be okay.

"It's Samantha."

That was the only answer that Jack had before he let the other people do their job to get her off that pole breaking the cuffs with a lock breaker and carrying her up the stairs for her lungs to get better than air from a basement that had no ventilation system.

"Yeah," Danny sighed looking up at the light as Samantha was carried out the door that lead them out of the basement. As Danny ascended the stairs in a hurry wanting to be able to ride with Samantha to the hospital. There were two gun shots that rang through the silent night.

One from SWAT.

The other from a man in the shadows.

It's Samantha
