Chapter 2: In Motion
The elevator door of Enchantment opens, and David steps out, Dylan on his back. " Daddy, can't I stay with you?" Dylan asks, practically whining.
" I have to work tomorrow, buddy." David tells him, as they approach Erica's front door.
" You could come get me after work." Dylan tells him, his voice hopeful.
" I wish I could, but you know this is the week that you spend with Mommy." David tells him as he sets him down. " I'll come see you as soon as I can." David tells him, as he kneels down eye level with Dylan.
Dylan looks at him, his bright smile changing into a frown, " Hey, you and me will spend the whole day together really soon, I promise."
Dylan looks at him, his brown eyes shining, " Ok."
"Thanks buddy." David tells him, ruffling his hair as he stands up. " I bet mommy is going to be so happy to see you." David says as he knocks on the door.
" She's going to a hairy party tonight." Dylan says sadly.
David laughs lightly, " A charity party, and that means that you get to stay with Abby, you love Abby."
Dylan nods, as Erica opens the door.

" A babysitter? They're making this far to simple." The same voice from three nights before, says into a cell phone, " As soon as Erica Kane is leaves for the night, we take what they love the most. You have your instructions, do not mess this up." The voice commands, before slamming the phone closed.

Erica puts on her coat, and smiles at Dylan where he sits on the couch, " You know that I wouldn't leave you if I didn't have too."
Dylan nods at her, never taking his off the TV.
Erica shakes her head sadly as she walks over to the couch, and sits down next to Dylan, " Hey you know I would rather stay with you. I have to go to this party."
He nods, his eyes still glued to the TV. " I know mommy." He says quietly.
Erica leans over and places a tender kiss on the side of his head, " Your pajama's are on your bed."
" Batman?" He asks, finally turning to look at her.
" Of course." Erica tells him happily.
Dylan smiles at her, " Can I have pizza for dinner?" He asks with a sweet smile.
Erica smiles at him, before turning to the young lady standing by the front door. " Abby?" Srica says with a wink " I already ordered it." Abby says, flashing Dylan a smile.
" Dylan, you listen to everything Abby says."
He nods, " Ok."
" Thanks baby." She says pulling him into a hug, " I love you."
" Love you to, mommy." He says, his attention back on the TV.
Erica laughs to herself as she gets up from the couch.
Erica and Jack give Abby a few more instructions before leaving.
" Hey, what's the matter?" Abby asks as she sits down next to Dylan.
" I wish mommy didn't have to go all the time." He says sadly, his eyes still on the TV.
" I know how much you love spending time with your mommy, but when I watch you we get to eat pizza and play video games the whole time."
Dylan smiles, his attention completely focused on the TV, " And don't I always let you stay up past your bedtime?"
" Daddy bought me this new game…Jack hasn't let me play it, he says to much video games will mess up my brain." He tells her, his voice failing to hide his feelings for his soon to be stepfather.
Abby laughs lightly, amused by Dylan's obvious dislike for Jack. " Well, Jack's not here…." The ringing of the doorbell cuts her off, " That must be the pizza. Go put on your pajama's on while I answer the door."
Dylan nods happily before jumping up from the couch and running into his room.
Abby grabs the money off the coffee table and heads to the front door.
She opens the front door, " Wow that was…" She stops, her blue eyes wide with shock as she takes in the sight of two armed men standing in front of her.
One of the men raises his gun, pointing it her, " If you don't scream, no one will get hurt." He says as they back her into the living room, slamming the door behind them.
