*~*~*DuckHockey00214496*~*~* Hey!! Thanks so much for the review! Umm... nope... neither of us have ever read that book. Didn't mean to seem unoriginal or anything...

*~*~*BanksiesBabe99*~*~* Hey Sarah! Oh... sorry to disappoint you, but Rat's not dead. I'm gonna talk to Jocie about killing off Lorraine though. If we do it, it will be in this story. That is, unless you get to her first. lol. Like I said, try to restrain yourself from actually murdering her.... a little fantasizing never hurt anyone. lol. That chappie was the best?

Oh, so you liked the Goldie line? Welps.. that's good. Sorry Fult, but yeah... that's the way it worked out. Oh, and as for running over the guy... at least you weren't the one who stabbed him. He was already dead by the time you ran over him. Katie, I'm glad this story makes you laugh. Wow, the way he's related to her sounds like an episode of Jerry Springer. lol. No, she's not related. But there is a reason and I wanna see if you can figure it out by the end of this chappie why these people kidnapped the kids. I don't know remember if there's anymore Linda bashing or not. Oh yeah, and Guy says hi to you and the guys Hmm... anyhow... thanks a lot for your review! Hope you enjoy this chapter!

The Ducks all left Charlie's at different times that night, and Averman was the last to leave. "So... who do you think did it? I mean, why are kids?" he questioned as he pulled on his coat.

"I don't know," Charlie responded as he opened the front door. "We need a plan... I promise that I'll have one by morning."

Averman walked out the door and to his car. He waved to Charlie just after starting his car. 'How am I gona explain this one to Bella?' he thought to himself.

Charlie had instructed everyone to tell their spouses that the kids were spending the night at his house. Avermanpulled into the parking lot and hurried up to his room. He passed Goldie and Beth in the lobby. Beth was complaining about how Ethel had left her shoes in the middle of the floor and she (Beth) had tripped over them.

'You won't have to worry about that if we never find them again.' Averman thought as hejammed his key into the door. Bella was in the bathroom brushing her teeth.

"Hey," he said as he threw his keys onto the dresser. She spit and wiped her mouth off.

"Hey," she paused looking around. "Where are the kids?"

"Umm... Charlie's keeping them for the night," Averman said, taking off his shoes and shirt and crawling into bed. Bella curled up next to him.

"Goodnight," she whispered as she turned off the lamp.

Raw panic washed over him and he felt tears well up in his eyes. His kids were somewhere... only God knew where... without him or Bella and possibly in danger, and there was nothing he could do but wait for Charlie to come up with a plan.

* * *

"What's going on?" Gabby whispered to Jacob.

"I dunno," Jake said, peering around in the darkness.

The air around them was musty and thick. He could hear pople breathing all around him. "Don't go to sleep. I'm scared," Gabby whispered. Suddenly, somebody started crying.

"Shut up!" Kevin yelled.

"Who was that? Where are we?" Katalina asked to no one in particular. She felt around on the floor and came upon a lantern and turned the tiny knob making it light the entire... place. Kat stood and lifted the light above her head.

All the kids that had been at the Conway's house were here. Where ever the heck here was. In the corner there was a box with food and some water. She turned around and picked the baby up off the ground and cradled it in her arms just as she would have done with a baby doll if she were back home playing in her bedroom.

"Kat! Turn it off!" Benny yelled to his sister as she tried to calm the wailing baby.

"I'm trying..." she replied. She sat down and laid the baby in her lap, and it stopped crying. The kids all tried to drift back to sleep... but most of them were too scared to even close their eyes.

* * *

Tammy looked at the clock for what must have been the tenth time and saw that it read 7:45 a.m. She hadn't slept at all that night.

"Jesse?" she whispered.

"Yeah?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close to him.

"I wanna go find Kevin and the other kids right now," she got out of bed, grabbed her car keys and Jesse's hand, and they drove over to Charlie's.

*~*Flashback*~*

"Where to?" Luis asked, looking at Charlie in the rearview mirror.

"Just go, damn it!" Averman yelled, smacking Luis on the back. Luis slammed his foot down on the gas pedal. The wheels squealed as Luis turned the corner.

Adam and Tammy fell out of their seats and rolled to the front of the bus. They both got up laughing and returned to their seats.

"Adam!" Julie yelled, jumping over the seat and wrapping her arms around his neck. She flipped over the seat onto him. "Come here." She pulled him to the back of the bus and pushed him down in the seat and jumped on top of him.

She kissed him and he slid his hands under her shirt and pulled it off, throwing it toward the front of the bus. Julie's squeal was smothered by Adam's mouth.

Fulton, Portman, and Charlie were flipping over the seats and some of the Ducks were in the aisle dancing around and singing We Are the Champions over and over again.

"Hey Luis," Averman said.

"What?" Averman poked Luis in the back of the head. Luis swatted at him. Averman blew into Luis' ear and Luis swatted at him again. Averman licked the tips of his pinkies and stuck them in Luis' ears.

"Wet Willy!!" he yelled.

Luis turned around and smacked Averman. He turned the wheel, quickly making the bus swerve.

"WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!!!" Connie yelled and then chugged another beer just as she heard Julie cry out in ecstacy from the back of the bus, and Goldie and Averman were now howling behind Luis.

"Shut up!" Luis yelled, turning around.

"Oh shit," Tammy mumbled.

"Luis, look out!" Guy yelled, beating Tammy to it. Luis turned the wheel and caught just a glimpse of what he was about to hit.

"Oh, God, ADAM!" was the last thing he heard before flying out of his seat and smacking into the Ducks into the aisle.

*~*Flashback ends*~*

Tammy turned up the heater in the car and wrapped her coat around her. "Jess... what in the hell are we supposed to be looking for exactly?" she asked peering out the window into the dark forest.

"Charlie said umm... anything suspicious," Jesse replied and turned onto a dirt road. He pulled over on the side and slapped the steering wheel, frustrated. "Charlie is so dumb! It's like negative 50 freaking degrees (Farenheit) out there. Those kids will be dead before we find them!"

"Don't say stuff like that!" Tammy threw the door open and grabbed a flashlight. She flicked it on and ran into the woods. "Kevin!!" she screamed. "KEVIN! Can you hear me?" She sat down on a log and began to cry.

"I'm sorry," said a voice from behind her. Two strong arms wrapped around her. "Come on," he said. Without looking up from the ground, Tammy stood up with him. She buried her face into his chest and bawled, barely noticing that the man smelled like cigarette smoke and Jesse had never smoke a cig in his life.

* * *

"This doesn't even make sense," Adam said, his voice raising. "We don't even know what the hell we're looking for," he said as he drove down another road in the middle of the city.

Guy leaned forward in his seat. "It's better than sitting around doing nothing," he commented.

"You're right," Julie agreed as they turned down another street.

Connie grabbed Guy hand and squeezed it tightly as they passed a small white house on the end of the street. Five crosses were set in the ground on the corner.

Adam quickly turned away from the corner as qualm and guilt washed over him like a tidal wave.

* * *

"Jess? Where are we going?" Tammy asked as she looked through blurred eyes at her surroundings. The arm around her shoulder slipped up and around her mouth slipping a gag... into her mouth. (I know that was superfluous... so?) He bound her hands with a small rope he had extracted from his coat pocket, dropping his cigarettes as he did so, and picked Tammy up. About three minutes later, they reached a van.

"Hey Jeff! A little help here?" 'Accomplice 2' got out of the van and grabbed Tammy's feet and they lifted her into the van.

"Not as light as you look," Jeff quipped as he climbed in. "Drive Lou!" Lou floored the gas and they darted out of the woods.

* * *

In the distance, tires screeched making Jesse's head whip up. "Tammy?" he called. He ran through the woods trying to find where the screeching had come from. He tripped over a log and landed hard on the ground, his nose touching a nearly full pack of cigarettes. He got up and continued running until he saw a brown van driving away, kicking up dust behind it.

He took off after it, but the van was much too fast... obviously. He turned around to go back to his car. 'Wait... where did I come out of?' he asked himself. 'Oh shit...' He was lost.

Now there was no way he could get in touch with Charlie and the others or find Tammy and Kevin. Something cold and wet fell onto his face making him shiver.

Snow.

Great... just great... it was snowing!
