Chapter 3: A Living Nightmare
" Where's the boy?" The second man asks, the first gunman raising the gun to Abby's forehead.
" Abby, I got…" Dylan yells, running into the living room, where he instantly sees Abby being held hostage. He stops dead in his tracks, frozen with fear," Abby?" He says, his voice filled with fear.
" It's ok Dylan." She says as calmly as possible, " Just do…just do what they say, ok?"
Dylan nods, still frozen with fear, the second man walking slowly towards him, " Hello Dylan." He says, kneeling down in front of the terrified little boy.
Dylan looks at him, his wide eyes filled with tears, " If you do what we say, this will all be over soon."
Dylan nods slowly, his eyes filling with terror as the sound of Abby's scream echoes through the room, " I told you, just be quiet and this will go a lot quicker." He tells her, pulling her hands behind her back, as he begins to tie her up.
" Dylan, how about you and I go for a ride?" He asks, slowly inching closer to him.
Dylan shakes his head, " No…no, Abby?" He cries, silent tears falling down his cheeks.
" It's ok Dylan…it's ok." She says, her voice shaky, as the gunman bounds her feet together.
" I want my mommy." He cries, still unable to move.
" Ok, that's where we'll go Dylan, too see your mommy." The man tells him, as he picks him up.
" NO!" Abby screams as the man heads to the door, Dylan kicking and screaming in his arms.
" Take him to the car, and shut him up. I'll take care of her." He says, pulling a piece of duct tape off the roll, " I told you, this wouldn't last long." He says, slapping the tape across Abby's mouth. He picks up her feet and drags her away from the door, removes his gun, and uses the barrel to strike her in the back of the head.
He pauses over her for a moment, making sure that she's is out cold, before leaving. He drops a piece of paper near the door, flips the light switch and slams the door behind him.

The elevator doors slide open a few hours later, and Jack and Erica step out.
" You still know how to throw a party, Erica." Jack says with a smile, as Erica puts the key in the lock.
" It was a lovely party wasn't it? And we raised so much money for Teens Against Addiction." She says proudly as she opens the door.
She pauses in the dark doorway, knowing instantly that the something is wrong. " Erica what is it?" Jack asks from behind her.
She shakes her head, and steps inside, flipping the light switch as she sets her keys on the table.
She hears Jack gasp, and turns around, her eyes landing on the destroyed living room in front of her. Jack runs over to a whimpering Abby, and kneels down by her.
" My baby…" Erica says quietly, already sensing that Dylan is in trouble.
She instantly begins searching for him, while Jack removes the tape from Abby's mouth.
" Abby…Abby its Jack."
She blinks her eyes trying to focus on him, " Jack?" She says, her words still slurred from her apparent concussion.
" Abby, what happened?" He asks, continuing to untie her.
" Jack!" Erica screams as she runs back into the living room, " He's not here." She continues to scream hysterically as she walks over to them.
" What…no I'm sure he's just hiding." Jack says calmly, as he tries to get a story out of Abby.
Erica shakes her head violently, " No, no Jack…"
" Two men…they, they had guns." Abby mutters softly.
" Abby, what happened?" Jack asks, fear beginning to rise in his voice.
Erica kneels down next to Abby and looks directly into her eyes, " Where's Dylan?"
Abby closes her eyes, trying to fight back her tears, " They took him." She sobs.
The color drains from Erica's face, and her eyes go wide with fear, and the only sound that's heard in the silent house, is Erica's gut wrenching scream.
