Unknown location. Friday Morning. Morning after kidnapping Rylan-Callie.
Callie knew that it was early on Friday morning, she didn't know the exact time because there were no clocks in the room she had been in and now she currently sat in a van with a blind fold on.
Callie wanted to focus on a lot of things but she didn't. Instead she blocked everything out as she counted the minutes and seconds in her head as they drove. She knew that she needed to have a rough estimate of where they were. She knew the location they were in previously was half an hour from home. She could tell the police that to give them a search grid to locate and arrest the big boss and if she could work out the time for the next location that would give them another search grid to locate and arrest the other members. Time. It was just time that Callie needed.
42 minutes. It was 42 minutes from the previous location to this current one. That was all Callie needed to know. The smallest things like this would count in the long run.
Letting herself focus on everything else now, Callie heard doors on the vehicle open and then a hand roughly grabbed her and pulled her out of the vehicle. Callie knew it was morning so she expected the sun or wind or something to touch her skin but she felt nothing, although the air smelt stale and smelt of fumes. That was another thing she could add to the list. This current location had a garage, she didn't know how big but this was definitely a garage.
Callie was guided forward by the rough hand on her shoulder. The sound of a door opening surprised her. Well it was a small garage then maybe.
"Step up." The rough deep voice said behind her. Callie pulled her right foot up to feel for the step, the heels she was in making everything harder. She stepped up and her heels made a clicking sound on what sounded like tile. They were inside a building now, not a warehouse, maybe a house or apartment?
She was guided through the location for not even a minute before she was pushed to sit down on what felt like a smooth wood chair, if the feeling on her bare thighs indicated anything. Why did they have to put her in a dress, a short dress? Callie thought.
She could hear another chair being pulled out and then heard Rylan whimper.
"Its ok, I'm here." Callie whispered softly, hoping to give the girl some comfort. It was then that the blindfolds were taken off and Callie blinked her eyes to adjust to the light before her eyes zoned in on Rylan. She could see the little girl was unharmed but looked very scared. Rylan did relax a little when she noticed her sister, so that was something.
Knowing that Rylan was ok for now, Callie scanned the house. They were in a very nice kitchen. A very modern up to date kitchen, like one out of magazine. The blinds were shut so Callie couldn't see where they were but eventually she will find out, she always finds out.
Calli couldn't see much else from her spot. The kitchen was its own room and not an open floor plan so that didn't help much. Time, she just needed time to look around and figure everything out.
It was only then that Callie noticed that only James? Daniel? Whatever his name is, was the only one she recognised. Had Kathleen not come with them?
Callie sighed as she waited for someone to speak or do something but they didn't. There were three guard looking men standing around the kitchen with Daniel, they all seemed to be waiting for something or someone.
Callie looked over at Rylan, the little girl looking around carefully but Callie could tell that she was keeping Callie in her peripheral. Smart girl Callie thought.
"Well,well, well. Little Rylan. We meet again." Callie had been too busy studying Rylan that she didn't hear the footsteps coming into the kitchen. The voice held alot of excitement that Rylan went tense and stock still. It was a subtle thing that Callie caught but she knew her sister well to catch it, this man was not a good one.
Callie looked over at the man that was leaning against the wall close to the door, smirking at the tense and scared little girl, not even bothering to acknowlege that Callie was in the room.
Callie eyed this man skeptically as she scanned his appearance. His slicked back black hair, Slighly pale skin that likely didn't see much sun, his piercing dark brown eyes that were very different to her own natural brown, his eyes looked like souless black pools. He has a cleaned up mustache and was wearing a pair of black dress pants, black shoes and a black button up dress shirt with the three top buttons undone. He looked the part of being in the mob.
Callie knew she was going to have to watch this man. He looked pure evil and somehow Rylan knew him, just as he knew Rylan.
Rylan on the other hand sat frozen, her fear level sky high as she was once again comfronted by this man. Yes he looked very different now without his scruffy beard and casual clothes but the voice and his eyes were the same. She could never forget those eyes and that voice. They haunted her dreams.
"Take them to their room." Was all that the man in black said before he left the kitchen, not before giving Rylan a smirk that made her shiver.

The girls were led through the house by Daniel and a guard. The house was beautiful, it was magnificient. It was like one of those houses that were in the upscale neighbourhoods. There was marble and glass and expensive stuff everywhere. What also stuck out was that the men and women they had passed all were dressed to impressed. Even the guards didn't look like guards, they just looked like everyday fancy people in business suits like the others.
Callie and Rylan were led up some marble steps with plush red carpet going up the middle. They were led down a small hallway and into a room where Kathleen and Jane were sitting at a small marble table in the room. The two women stood as they saw the girls being led in.
"Welcome girls, come in, come in." Kathleen said with a smile as she waved them over.
Callie and Rylan were led in and the door closed behind them. The two didn't move any closer to Jane and Kathleen.
"So Jane and I are have just set up your wardrobes. We know you will like to share a room so we made it so." Kathleen told the two as she gestured over to a door on the other side of the room. The room layout was very similar to the previous one they had been in.
"What are we going to be made to do and why is everyone dressed so fancy?" Callie asked with a raised eyebrow, getting straight to the point. She needed to know.
Jane smiled at Kathleen and took a seat back on the chair she had recently occupied, crossing her left leg onto her right, getting comfortable. Kathleen remained standing and looked at the girls.
"Well, this location is one of our safest houses, House 6, our most secure one. We are in an upscale suburban neighbourhood and everyone is dressed fancy like the rest of the neighbourhood so we dont stick out. As for your tasks while you are here, Jane will explain." Kathleen explained and then Jane took over, she remained sitting while Kathleen remained standing.
"Rylan, you will be with me. Ill be posing as you new mother while we are out an about. Thats the reason you have the same colour hair as me." Jane explained. Callie felt Rylan go stiff at the mention of Jane being her new mother. Callie knew what she was thinking and feeling. No one was going to replace their mothers.
"Out and about doing what? What about me?" Callie asked skeptically, keeping a hold on Rylan, just incase.
"Rylan will be going with me to sell our product and get more clientell." Jane answered. Callie was furious, she knew what ' product' was. Drugs, and she wasn't happy that her little sister was going to be involved.
"Shes just a little girl!" Callie exclaimed, outraged at the idea. Callies outburts didn't even make the women flinch or anything. It was like they suspected that reaction from the teen.
"No one would bat an eyelid at a mother and daughter dressed fancy talking to random people." Jane explained. Callie sighed. She and Rylan were at their mercy, for now. She just hoped that the deals on the street wouldn't get Rylan hurt in the process.
"What about me?" Callie asked again, wanting to know what role she was to play.
"For now, you will be packing the products for distribution. We can't let you out on the street just yet." Kathleen told Callie with a knowing look. Kathleen had worked Callie out, she knew the teen was smart so she had to be careful.
Callie knew that splitting them up would make each of them more complient and she hated that they had figured that out. There would be no chance of escaping if they were split up.
"Fine. When do we start?" Callie sighed out, figuring she had no choice but to deal with it. She will get them to make her trust her eventually and then she will make a move.
"Tomorrow morning. Get settled in here first. You can wander around the house and look around. As i said before, this is our most secure house we have. Everyone comeing in and out is checked. The windows have an alarm code for each one so dont even think about trying to open them, there is no escape, so don't even think of it." Kathleen said with finalty and then her and Jane swiftly left the room.
No sound of locks being put into place sounded weird but at least they weren't trapped in the room. Just like they were told, they were free to wander around the house. This might have been the chance Callie was dreaming about and their captors biggest mistake.

After Jane and Kathleen had left the girls to themselves. Callie checked the room out before she scooped up the quiet little girl and headed out of the room. The girls spent their day looking around the house. Well Callie did. She was making mental notes of everything she could see and hear. Everything would be useful.
Rylan on the other hand was very clingy and silent as she sat attached on Callies hip. She had been this way since they had gotten to the house and had seen that man in the kitchen. Callie was worried, she would deal with the little girl before they went to bed.
It was getting late by the time the girls finished their dinner. They had eaten in silence at the kitchen table before heading up to bed, taking out the contacts, showeringand dressing into pyjamas.
Callie looked at the little girl curled up on the bed. Her little body resting against the headboard with her knees to her chest, little blue eyes followed her every movement.
Callie needed to get the information she had gathered onto paper so she wouldn't forget it and to add to it when she needed too. So she headed over to the door and pulled it open. Glad to know that they weren't locked in for the night.
"Hey, could you grab us some pens and paper?" Callie asked the guard outside the door. The man turned to look at Callie with a raised eyebrow.
"My sister would like to colour, shes bored and it calms her down." Callie explained more to the guard, even though it was a complete lie. Giving a nod, the guard moved away to get the items.
"Thanks." Callie called as she closed the door and headed over to the bed where Rylan was. She stood next to the bed and looked at the little girl.
"I don't want to color." Rylan stated softly. Callie nodded that she knew.
"I know, i just needed to make an excuse to draw and map a layout of this place and to write information I have gathered down. Everytime we go somewhere new or find out information I can take note of it." Rylan nodded at Callies explanation. Her big sister was smart. She was keeping her promise and Rylan was thankful. She would help get information for her sister aswell.
A knock sounded through the room, Callie moved away from the bed and over to the door. Opening it to the guard.
"Thank you." Callie thanked the guard as he hands her the packet of pencils and a pile of paper before closing the door beind him.
Callie set the paper and pencils down on the marble table before moving over to the bed where Rylan sat against the headboard with her knees to her chest. Callie scooted onto the bed and pulled the little girl into her lap sideways so she could see the little girls face.
"Hey, talk to me? What the matter?" Callie spoke softly in a gentle tone. She needed Rylan to open up. The little girl remained silent but Callie could tell that she was in deep thought.
"You can talk to me remember. You have been clingy and silent all day. I can't help you if you wont talk to me." Callie again said, hoping to coax the little girl into talking.
"I'm scared." It took a moment but Rylan softly spoke the two words.
"I know, me too." Callie sighed out hugging her sister more firmly. Rylan sighed at the comfort her sister was giving her. She was glad to have a big sister like Callie. She did miss her Moms though.
"The man from the kitchen today, hes the man from the park. " Rylan finally said and she knew Callie understood what she had said because her big sister went tense.
"He...He killed my Mom." Rylan admitted to her sister before breaking down into sobs. Everything was coming together and she was scared. Very scared. She just wanted to wake up and this all be a dream.
Callie held the little girl as she cried. She didn't know what to do. Tears streamed from her own eyes at her sisters confession. Seeing her sister so scared was heartbreaking, she never wanted to witness her sister so scared, she didn't want her sister so scared like this but right now there was nothing she could do. She was at a loss.
"We will be alright. We have each other. I just need time baby. Ill find a way out. I promise." Callie whispered to the little girl, rocking from side to side in a soothing motion.
"I promise." Callie whispered over and over again, even when she felt the little girl fall asleep. She would get Rylan out, even if it was the last thing she did.

Unknown location, House 6. Saturday Morning. Day 2 of kidnapping, Rylan-Callie.
Callie couldn't sleep much, her mind was in overdrive with information and possible escape plans. She needed to get herself and Rylan out. So she needed to plan. She had let Rylan sleep, tucked the little girl in comfortably before she had slipped out of the bed.
Now here she was in the early morning sitting at the marble table with pencils and paper scattered around on the table in front of her with information and layouts. Everything she had seen, heard and located was written on the paper. She had started the layout of the house they were in and a not so detailed layout of the previous location as she didn't get to see much but it was something.
When the sounds of the house becoming alive hit her ears, Callie gathered the papers with the information and layouts on and found a place to hide them so no one knew where they were. This was to be kept secret or it would ruin her chances of getting her and Rylan out.
Making sure the table was cleared up and the paper was hidden, Callie moved over to the bed and shook the little girl awake.
Once Rylan was awake, the two headed towards the kitchen, ate their breakfast that had been prepared by the cook and then went upstairs to change for the day. When they got into their room, Jane was sitting at the marble table like she had done yesterday. She was alone this time.
Jane was dressed for the day in a light yellow sun dress with a thin white belt around her stomach and white wedged heels. Her bright red hair fell naturally over her shoulders in waves.
It was only then that Callie realised that Kathleen and Daniel probably wouldn't be living at the house but Jane would. Probably too many people already and they probably had other things to do.
"Morning girls." Jane said in a cheery voice, standing up from her seat and walking over to the closet, motioning the girls to follow her.
"Morning." Both girls mumbled and followed Jane to the closet.
"Well, ill be laying out both of your clothes everyday. Today you start your jobs." Jane explained as she scanned through the clothes in the closet.
Callie nodded, even though Jane couldn't see it, before reaching over and grabbing the clothes that Jane held out to her. She waited for Rylan to be handed her clothes before the two headed towards the bathroom to change.
"Ill wait here, ill do your make up and hair when you are changed." Jane called to the girls as she took a seat back at the marble table.
Both girls nodded and continued into the bathroom. Callie felt that she and Rylan were like Barbies or robots or something. They were told where to sleep, what to eat, what to wear and when to work. Freedom wasn't a luxury any more.
Xxxxxx
An hour later the girls were walking out of their room dressed and ready to go with Jane behind them.
Callie wearing a pair of skin tight white jeans, black flats and a black and white striped short sleeved button up blouse. Her hair curled and hug over her shoulders in blonde waves similar to Janes. At least she was wearing pants instead of a dress.
Rylan was dressed in a light blue sun dress with white flowers on the bottom of it and a white thin belt around her waist. The top half of her hair was braided into a crown with little flowers stuck in and the rest of her hair hung down in neat waves. Little white sandals on her feet completed this not so Rylan like outfit.
Callie held tightly to Rylans hand as they let Jane lead them. Jane led them down the stairs and towards the back of the house, into the kitchen and down into the basement.
This was a room the girls didn't venture into, this room and the rooms that were the bedrooms of the others that lived here. Callie didn't know who actually lived here or not. Couldn't be too many as they were trying to blend in. Callie wondered what the neighbours thought seeing so many people coming and going, what Kathleen or Jane might have told them about the house and the people.
Callie and Rylan stood at the bottom of the stairs as they looked around the large not so basement looking room. Jane left the two of them there and headed deeper into the large room.
The room had wooden Jarrah floor boards on the floor, the walls were painted a dark red with paintings and shelves hung on the wall. Wall lights and one chandelier lit the place up brightly. The room itself was filled with a lot of metal tables and fancy dressed people. The one thing that stuck out was the large amount of drugs, all different kinds scattered over the tables and shelves. Callie could see no signs that it was grown here so they must get deliveries. This was probably just a packaging and distribution house.
"Say goodbye Rylan. We are heading out." Jane said as she came back with a large handbag. 'Probably filled with drugs' Callie thought.
Crouching down, Callie looked at her sister, the little girl now terrified of leaving Callie and going with Jane on her own.
"Its going to be ok. Do what Jane says an you will be fine. Ill see you when you get back." Callie told Rylan, trying to give the girl a reassuring smile. It probably didn't sound as reassuring as Callie too was afraid.
Rylan nodded hesitantly and hugged Callie with all her might. She was afraid she would never see Callie again but she would do what Callie said.
With a sigh, Rylan hesitantly grabbed Janes hand that was held out for her. With a glance back at Callie, Rylan let Jane lead her up the stairs and away from Callie.
Callie stood from her crouched position and made her way over to the closest person who didn't say anything but pointed in the direction of the Man that killed Rylans Mom.
Callie approached the Man. He was dressed exactly like he had been yesterday. He looked up when Callie approached. He gave Callie a once over before giving a grunt of approval.
"Names Toby. Do what I tell you and Rylan will be fine." Callie nodded with a gulp. It was only then that everything clicked.
"Uncle Toby" Callie whispered. Of course, it all made sense now. The notes left on the door, Rylans supposed Uncle. Everything clicked and came together. Everything had happened for a reason. They had been planning this for months and that meant they were dedicated and now Callie was fearing for Rylans life a lot more then she originally did. There was a high possibility that there was no chance of escape and Callie was screwed.
More to come.
Read, review.
