No ramble, at the beginning or the end because truthfully, I'm watching Greys Anatomy (season 3 DVDs) which I haven't done in a long time, I kinda went off of it and started watching Ghost Whisperer more, but now Greys is back in, pretty much stuck in my mind, and this episode is brilliant, heal with love Sydney and a ferry crash, I'm not sure it can get better, it's actually the first of two episodes I based a oneshot on (Check past, present and future)


Taylor's POV

I watched silently as for the first time in three days, he slept, three unbearable days had kept him awake, three days of not knowing where she was, three days of worry.

In the end his daughters had been the key to convincing him, telling him that he needed to sleep for them if nothing else, that they needed him to be strong, they were confused enough, they were miserable without their mother, and their father being a frantic wreck wasn't helping to sooth them.

"You ok?" Chad questioned, watching me carefully, "I should have asked sooner, it's not just him that's affected by this, he just needed someone, he's blaming himself you know, especially since the phone call, and…"

He cut off as I looked at him, clearly shocked by my expression, I didn't want to think about what had been sent to Troy just the day before, it was sick, it had added to his belief that what had happened was his fault.

Flashback

I watched as Troy glumly sifted through the mail, knowing I wouldn't be able to watch the devastating sight for long, I looked down as Kirra shifted slightly in her sleep, then looked over to the overly confused four year old that had resigned herself to sitting in the corner.

"NO," I suddenly heard a shout, forcing me to look up.

I gasped as I saw what he was holding, it couldn't have been clearer, and to me it proved Tamsin's words. The locks of his wife's hair that he was holding in his hands was the last he could take, I watched as he broke down in front of me, not reacting as I called the nearest of the police that had been placed in the home, heartbroken to realise that he was indifferent to the confused crying of his eldest child.

End Flashback

That had soon been followed by a call, an incoming call to his cell, monitored by police, a call that had disguised a voice that it was believed we would usually recognise, the voice of a man requesting five million dollars in exchange for his hostage.

It couldn't have been clearer that Gabriella was still alive; her screams for help were only just audible in the background, her fear almost easy to sense from the safety of her home.

I looked from my husband to the doorway as the man we knew as DI Mason appeared.

"I have news," he informed us, noticing the sleeping form of Troy, "best not to wake him, they may have moved, and if they don't find her there… well we don't want to have to take the kids away, if he gets any worse he won't be able to look after them, we won't have a choice,"

"Her parents and sister are in the kitchen," I sighed, "tell them,"

He nodded and left the room, momentarily glancing at Tamsin and Sophie as they slept on the couch.

Isobel's POV

"Daddy, she'll be ok," I insisted, "she strong, like you, they'll find her in time,"

He smiled at me weakly, and I knew that the word daddy had given him a little comfort; none of us had called him it in years.

"Mr. Travers?" the three of us looked up at the voice, "it seems that whoever this guy is, he isn't very smart, he didn't block the number when he called yesterday, we've just been informed that the cell he called from is registered to a Katelyn Peterson,"

"Katelyn?" Dad stuttered, "she wouldn't… I mean… she's a friend,"

"Neighbours of Mrs Peterson and her husband insist that the couple were home in Albuquerque at the time your wife was taken," DI Mason continued, "the perpetrator made another mistake, after making the call he failed to turn the phone off, using GPS tracking systems we have managed to confirm a location, we have a team on their way there as we speak, if she is found there, and we cannot guarantee that she will, she may find it easier to speak to us with a family member present,"

"Dad?" I questioned, "You have to go, if she's there you should be there,"

"No," he refused, "they need her to speak Bel, if she's there they need her to talk, after what happened when she was a kid, she can't fully trust me, she needs someone who understands her, someone who's been through all the bad times with her, Bel, she needs you,"

I widened my eyes, nodding in understanding, I'd always understood her more than my parents, I just figured this was something they'd have to do, she was their daughter, I'd always understood that bond to be stronger than that of the bond between sisters.

"Go," he insisted, pushing me towards DI Mason, "help your sister,"

I nodded following the man out of the room, heading towards the waiting car.

Gabriella's POV

"Why are you doing this?" I asked again, watching him out of curiosity, "why won't you let me go home?"

He ignored my questions, beginning a rant of his own, "your husband is an incredibly fickle man, I tell him if he gives me money, I'll give him you, he tells me to keep you, says you did the only good you could ever have done for him,"

"No," I cried, "you're lying, he loves me,"

"Doesn't care about you, I always knew you'd made a mistake when you chose him, he never wanted you, he always wanted more, you should thank your sister really, if she hadn't of came to me, if my wife hadn't of figured out that I'd become re-obsessed with you, I wouldn't have taken you, and if I hadn't of done that, you'd never have known the truth about your husband,"

"He loves me," I insisted, "please, just let me go home,"

"This is your home now," he decided, "with me, you never know, we may even get custody of your girls, with him being such an incompetent parent and all, we'll be a proper family,"

"I'll never let you near them," I screamed, "I won't let you hurt them,"

"Kier," came the voice of another male, one who I was yet to know the name of, "Kier, cops are on their way, we have to move, get the girl, we have to go, did you turn that cell off after you made that call?"

I watched as Kieran's facial expression changed, it was clear he hadn't turned it off.

"You idiot," the other man stated, "I told you that they can be tracked if their on, you're the one that wanted the girl, I agreed to help you because I wanted the money, we have to get out of here,"

I noticed Kieran nod and turn towards me, "come on Gabsy, time to go,"

It was then that I was glad that neither man had seen a point in tying me.

I kicked out at him, he recoiled in shock before advancing again, I kicked again, hitting him this time, and he doubled back in pain as the other man stepped forward.

"Don't be like this," he tried, "Kieran loves you, he won't let you get hurt anymore,"

"He's already hurt me," I snarled, "he hurt me when I was fifteen, and he's hurting me now by keeping me away from my family."

The man shook his head, reaching out for me as I kicked again, hitting him the first time.

I jumped up, running from the room, pushing open the door I remember them pulling me through three days earlier.

I continued running, out into the woods, only slightly recalling the feel of leaves and twigs beneath my feet on the journey to the cabin, knowing how ridiculous I must look, but not really caring.

I continued running, passing a gate before momentarily turning to see the figure following behind me, still at a distance.

I screamed as someone in front of me grasped me, holding me close, and muttering words I could hardly hear, I could tell by the murmured whispers and the smell of the person that I didn't know them, but at the same time I knew I was safe, that if someone else was around, whoever was following me wouldn't approach.

"GABI," the scream was familiar, the clear voice of my younger sister, I felt the man release me, only momentarily free as I felt my sisters arms around me, "what happened? Are you ok? We were so worried,"

I didn't answer, sniffing the familiar scent of my baby sister as she continued rambling, just happy to be back with her.


That's it, I'm hoping to put the next part up tomorrow, but it depends what happens.

I know it's short but it works, trust me on this.
