When they arrived at their destination, it didn't take long to pitch the tent and unpack everything, Amie pulled out her new swim suit and looked over and Nick, who smiled and left her alone to change. Then he changed in trucks and trumped down to the beach for an afternoon swim. Followed by a Winnie roast, and smores, and ten Nick read some more of Little house on the Prairie, and Amie fell asleep in his arms, and he fell asleep just after she did.
It was much alter both occupants of the tent sleep peacefully till a noise brought to full alert, he gently moved Amie, and after locating and cocking his gun he stepped out side., only to be blindsided by what must have been a freight train, he toppled over, and lay dazed for a moment before regaining his feet and turning to eye his attacker, the freight train turned out to be Amie's father. He icy blue eyes boreholes through nicks brown ones.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Nick asked keeping his voice down.
"I want my daughter." He demanded.
"Over my dead body." Nick spat. The object of their 'discussion' choose the moment to wake up and cried out.
"NICK! Where are you?" Nick could her the tears in her voice and made for the tent, But Don prevented him from going in, he grabbed nick by the neck and tossed him towards the fire, then reached into the tent and dragged Amie out she creamed and struggled to get away. Nick got to his feet and barreled into the man knocking him away from Amie.
"Amie run!" Nick yelled, Amie didn't wait to be told twice she bolted into the trees and disappeared.
"No you don't you little brat." Don got up and ran after her Nick ran after them both.
Nick ran full out through the dark forest trying to find Amie, hoping to get to her first before Don. Amie ran like crazy, her lungs burned for oxygen and her legs throbbed, but she ran on, knowing that if she stopped her father would most likely kill her. She only made it a few more feet before her legs gave out and she could go no further, a pair arms scooped her up and kept going, she screamed and hit her small fists against his chest.
"Amie stop sweetie it's me Nick." He whispered in her ear, she went silent and held onto tight to him as he continued to run. Shot ran out startling the animals around them, bullets embedded themselves in tree's and the ground around them, but still nick ran. And then a searing pain found his leg and he went down Amie screamed and rolled a few feet away, Nick got up and tried to get to her but Don stopped him knocking him to the ground but, nick didn't stop trying to get Amie he got up and again and Again. Don watched him amused that this man would exhaust himself to protect a child that didn't belong to him, he sighed finally bored with this and raising the but of the gun he slammed it down on Nicks head, he fell to the ground the world around him spinning crazily. He watched Don pick up Amie's unconscious body and walk away with her, he reached out his arms to get her back but came up short.
"No Amie no." It was the last thing he managed to choke out before his world finally went black.
Nick groaned and winced as he came back to consciousness, to see Grissom and Warrick hovering above him. He was a little more the shocked to se them if not down right confused.
"What are you doing in the middle of the woods?" He asked not bothering to look around, if he had he would have realized he was in a hospital bed.
"Nick some one phone the police when they heard the gun shots, and the combed the forest, when they found you unconscious they brought in and using your id, phoned us to inform us that you were injured." Grissom explained, Nick looked around and saw the white wall and felt to sheet around him, and then the memories came back, slamming into with the force over and two ton rig.
"Oh god, Amie, Guy's he took Amie, I couldn't stop him, I just let him take her." Nick babbled Grissom lifted an eyebrow at him.
"Nick calm down we'll find her." Warrick spoke up placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.
Amie woke up shivering under a thin raggedy blanket, the room she was in was dark and cold, more like a cave them a room really, and she disparately wanted Nick.
"NICK?" She called out, be silence was all that answered her, she continued to call out for him, not get nothing but silence.
"NICK!" She screamed, this time a voice did answer but not the one she wanted.
"Shut up brat, Nick's gone and he's never coming back." Her fathers voice growled.
"NOO!" she screamed, and fell back into the cot, curled up under the blanket crying, her shoulders shacking from the force of her sob's.
Okay there's chapter six. While in process of writing this chapter I come across the idea that after I wrote this, I have to figure how the heck he finds, I got how Don took her, and what happens after Nick finds her, but everything in between is a blank. Hate it when that happens. Oh well, tell me what you think guys. Sorry it took so long.
