Emma and Craig walked out of Emma's house after talking to Spike and telling her not to call the police.
"Where next?" Craig asked Emma as they reached the sidewalk.
"Manny's I guess. Tell her parents what's going on." Emma replied unsure.
"I agree. Let's go there and then we can go to that corner he wanted you to meet him at. Ok?" Craig asked.
"Yeah, I guess. I'm just scared for her."
"Don't be. She's a strong girl she'll be okay."
As Emma and Craig turned the corner they turned into Manny's home's walkway. They walked up to the white door and knocked on the door. They heard some rustling inside and a young woman with long black hair and a striking resemblance to Manny opened the door.
"Emma, Craig, what are you doing here?" She said kindly with a hint of worry in her voice.
"We just came here to show you this." Emma said handing her the note.
"Oh no. My baby girl. Kidnapped." Mrs. Santos said falling to her knees, tears running down her face.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Santos. I just found it this afternoon and we've been out looking for her all day." Emma said kneeling down to comfort her.
"Thank you for letting me know Emma. I'll help you look for her. If you find her call my cell. The number is 123-4321." Mrs. Santos said standing up and wiping the tears from her eyes.
"I will. Good Bye Mrs. Santos. Call my house if anything happens." Emma said, her and Craig leaving.
"Ok Emma darling. Bye."
Emma and Craig walked down to the corner where Emma was supposed to meet Jordan and saw nothing.
Emma turned to Craig and said, "Craig go hide in some bushes or something. If Jordan sees you he might hurt Manny."
"But what about you?" Craig asked her.
"When you see the car write down the license plate number and call my mom and follow the car in a taxi or something. Just try not to let me out of your sight. If he lets Manny out of the car or something. Take her with you. Please Craig. And be careful." Emma said.
"Ok, just scream if anything happens and I'll be there in a split second." Craig said giving Emma a hug.
"Ok, I will. Just keep a look out." Emma said as Craig hid in the bushes.
Emma looked at the ground and then saw headlights. She turned in the direction of them and saw a black car driving towards her. The car slowed to a stop as it got closer to the corner Emma was standing on.
It came to a complete stop in front of her and the driver's window rolled down. Emma sucked in a sharp breath as she saw her nightmare sitting in the drivers seat.
"Emma, I'm glad you came." Jordan said.
"Where's Manny?" Emma asked her body shaking from fear.
"Back at the house. Get in. I'll take you to her." Jordan said obviously agitated.
"Fine." Emma said walking around the car and opening the passenger door. She looked over at the bushes Craig was hidden in as she got into the car.
'Please, Craig do this right. Save Manny.' Emma thought to herself as she got into the car.
A/N: Thanx to those of you who reviewed. I will try to make the chapters longer. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm glad you liked it, considering this is my first story.
