Haha, and here's where it gets confussling...so...they kidnaped Mercy...what is Paige going to do?
*-*-* In the Hotel *-*-*
Adam sat up and looked around, he was gone, he took Mercy with him, who was it? Why did they take Mercy? Then it hit him, Paige and Jeff, he wondered for a few seconds before realizing that they were probably waiting for her in the lobby, he picked himself up off the floor and ran towards the elevators, despite the dizziness in his head from the pipe, he pushed the button, and when it didn't open immediately, he shot for the door to the stairs, running down all three flights and bursting out at the lobby, and running over to where Matt, Jeff, Amy, Leila, and Paige were standing, "Hey 'dam, have you seen Tigress?" Jeff asked, he could only nod and try not to cry, "She, she's...been..I mean someone..t...she's been kidnaped" he stammered, Paige shot to her feet, forgetting her headache, "WHAT?!" she screamed, breaking down and beginning to sob, "Where is she?!" she screamed, running to the stairs, leaving everyone standing there, still dumbfounded, before Jeff snapped back into reality and took off after Paige, followed by Matt, Amy, Leila, and Adam, when Jeff reached the third floor, he saw no Paige, he walked to the door, it was standing wide open, glass from the broken mirror was scattered at the entrance, the sheets were pulled off the bed and ripped at the edge, the remains of the lamp lay beside the overturned night stand, and Paige sat on the bed, sobbing heavily, she looked up at Jeff, her face already beginning to swell and her eyes were red with tears, "She's gone, Jeff" she cried, Jeff walked over and sat down beside her, "Not for long" he said, knowing they would find her, and soon, and he would kill whoever took her, he looked up at Matt and Amy, "Call the police" he said, Matt nodded and turned, going to Adam's room to use his phone, Amy walked over to the bed and sat down on the other side of Paige, "It'll be ok" she said, hugging her, Matt came back into the room, "The police are on their way, let's go to Adam's room" he said, taking Amy's hand and putting his arm around Paige and leading them out of the room..
*-*-* With Mercy *-*-*
"Come on! We have to get out of here before they start looking!" the man yelled to the young girl, who was throwing things into the suitcases, "Ok, ok" the girl said, "I'm going to buy tickets for a redeye flight, I'll be back in an hour tops, be ready" he said, slamming the door behind him, the brown headed girl walked to the bathroom door, hearing sobbing on the other side, she took the key and unlocked the door, the blonde girl was sitting in the empty bathtub, her hair was matted to her face with tears, her face swollen, "Wh-who are you?" Mercy stammered, "My name is Lydia, what's your name?" the brown haired girl, Lydia, asked, "M-...my name is Mercy" Mercy said, reaching up and rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand, "W-why are you d-doing this t-to me?" Mercy sniffled, "I have no idea, that's my dad, he says you're my sister," Lydia explained, "but I have no idea what he's talking about" she looked at the ground, "W- Where's your m-mom?" Mercy stuttered, calming down slightly, "My mom abandoned me and my dad when I was born" Lydia said, looking back up, "Wh-what is he going to d-do to me?" Mercy asked, Lydia turned away, tears filling her eyes, the girl had done nothing wrong, and she knew what her dad had planned for her, "I don't know" she said, regaining her composure and turning around, "I'd better go before he gets back, we're flying to Wisconsin tonight, all I can say, is don't do anything stupid" Lydia said, turning and walking out the door, locking it back, Mercy thought hard, her mother had never mentioned another child, and her mother certainly would've never abandoned her, her heart belonged to Jeff, and it always had, Mercy felt safe in that fact, knowing they would go to the ends of the earth to get her back, Jeff loved her, he would find her, Mercy took deep breaths to suppress the sobs, and soon had drifted off into a dark and unpleasant sleep..
*-*-* At The Police Station *-*-*
"No, I told you, he was wearing gloves, he threw the pipe at me, and it hit me in the head, I blacked out and , that's how my fingerprints got on the pipe" Adam explained for the millionth time to the uniformed police officers sitting beside him, "And you didn't see his face?" the male police officer asked, "No, I did not see his face, he was running away from me" Adam sighed, "Ok, that will be all, we're going to question Mrs. Hardy" the male officer said, shaking his head, "What?!" Adam jumped to his feet, "You can't!" both officers turned around, "And why not?" the female asked, "Because Mercy was the one thing in her life that seemed to make sense, she loves that kid more than anything else, and she just lost her, she's not in the right mind to answer your questions" Adam explained, "Well, that's very sweet, but it's normal questions" the male officer said, "What do you need to know? I can tell you" Adam offered, "No, we have to talk to her" the male officer sighed, Adam sighed as he watched the two officers walk out of the room, "Mrs. Hardy?" the male officer called, Paige sat up from her place on Jeff's shoulder and wiped the tears from her eyes, standing, she walked over to the door the two officers were standing at, Adam passed by them, hugging Paige close, "Adam, what am I going to do?" she whispered, "Just answer their questions, it'll be ok" Adam said, kissing her cheek, Paige smiled slightly, and walked into the room, the officers pointed to a seat and Paige sat down, "I am officer Kemp, and this is officer Regan" the female officer, Officer Kemp, said, "I know this is hard for you, Mrs. Hardy, but do you know of anyone who might want to hurt you or your daughter?" Officer Kemp asked, Paige knew in her heart exactly who had done it, but she couldn't tell them, if she told them then they would never find Mercy alive, to save her daughter she'd have to risk not finding her, Paige shook her head, "Ok, what is the child's full name?" Paige began to sob again, "Why?" she asked, "Because we can't send out search teams or any report her as missing for 72 hours, but we're pretty sure, since this seemed to be a criminal act, that she's not going to turn up, we're going to get her information so we can send it out when the time comes" Officer Regan said, Paige sniffed, "Alexiandra Mercedes Dukes, but she may go by the last name Hardy" she sighed, "Height, weight" Paige thought, "About 5'2 maybe, and about 100 pounds" she sniffed again, it was going to be a long night..
*-*-* With Mercy *-*-*
Mercy was jolted from her sleep by a small click, as her vision cleared, she recognized Lydia in the room with her, "C'mon, we're leaving, and remember, don't do anything stupid" Lydia said, "Ok" Mercy whispered, standing up and walking out of the bathroom, Lydia grabbed hold of Mercy's arm and led her out the door, "He's waiting in the car" she said, Mercy followed her down the stairs, and to the dark colored Grand Prix, "Get in the backseat" Lydia said, Mercy did as she was told, getting into the backseat as the man drove off, about 15 minutes later, they pulled up to an airport, "Now you shut up girl, you say a word, or motion to anyone, and I'll blow your head off" the man said in a cold tone, Mercy could only nod, she followed Lydia into the airport as the man looked at the tickets and tried to find the gate they were supposed to be at, it took what seemed like an eternity to Mercy before they found the right gate, and boarded the plane, "Not a word" he whispered to Mercy when they sat down on the plane, she shifted uncomfortably in her seat between the man and Lydia, it was going to be a long night..
