"Vaughn, its Isabelle." Sydney's voice cried through the telephone.
"What about her? What's happened?" The anxious father asked.
Sydney tried to clear her throat to talk, but found it difficult as she was crying so much. "I just got a call from the police…Someone's kidnapped Isabelle…I'm on my way to the school as we speak…I've left Francie with Will." She managed to splutter out.
"Oh my god, Sydney I'll be right…"
"No" She butted in. "Please go and collect Jack first."
Vaughn nodded in agreement. "Right, yeh. Then I'll be right there."
Sydney blew her nose and then answered. "Oh gosh Vaughn I hope nothing bad has happened to her."
Vaughn felt his nose had started to drip and he hadn't even realised he was crying. "Don't worry, we will get her back. I'll put all the team here on it. We will find her Sydney."
Sydney started to feel slightly better, but the dread of losing a child was strong. "I…love you… and if we did lose…"
Vaughn burst in this time. "We won't."
They both stayed silent for around 2 minutes, quietly crying until Vaughn eventually ended the call. "I love you to." He hung up and put his head into his hands.
He was interrupted by Dixon who entered. "Vaughn it seems the terrorist cell was…" He stopped as he saw Vaughn crying. "What's wrong?"
Vaughn looked up. "It's Isabelle, she's been kidnapped."
Dixon couldn't believe what he had just been told. "Who by? When? How?"
Vaughn shook his head, not knowing any of the answers. Dixon sat down on a chair opposite from Vaughn and tears and started to swell up in his eyes.
"We can't just sit here and cry Dixon; I want all the team on this. Get Marshall on all video footage of the school as well as traffic camera's, I want you and Lark to find out whose behind it and I want Rachel down at the school with Sydney."
Dixon stood up. "Yes right away."
He went for the door to be stopped by Rachel. "We just got Intel about a car crash on 34 Cross Avenue; you'll never guess who was involved."
Vaughn was about to interrupt when Dixon got in there first. "Rachel there's no time. Isabelle was kidnapped and our first priority is finding her."
Rachel was dumb struck and stared in disbelief. "Oh my gosh, where's Sydney?"
"She's at Isabelle's school; I need you to go and comfort her as well as help her."
Rachel nodded. "Yeh, sure."
Dixon and Vaughn walked past her when it suddenly struck her. "Wait, Marshall just gave me the video footage of the crash and someone was taking what looked like a girl out of the back seat."
Vaughn stopped. "Can you get the license plate? Can you see the person who done it?"
"Marshall will be able to get a closer image of the person and he's already got the license plate."
Vaughn smiled a glimpse of hope. "Great."
He walked off when Rachel shouted at him. "Wait, there's more. Kelly Peyton was the driver of the first car. She must have kidnapped her."
Vaughn stopped again. "I thought she was in jail."
"Obviously not, she's somehow got out."
Vaughn started to rethink things. "Where is she now?"
"She could be dead. The car blew up throwing her back however there was some body movement."
"Go to the crime scene; interview Peyton if she's still alive. I am finding my daughter, today."
"Hello Rachel, what's it like working for the good guys?" Peyton joked.
"Shut up, you're in no position to joke around, now put the gun down."
Peyton laughed. "Yeh and then I get arrested again and taken back to the hell hole to spend the rest of my life as someone's "bitch". I don't think so"
Rachel started to think through what she would tell Peyton just to get her to drop the gun. She knew she wouldn't hesitate to fire at anyone at this moment.
"Just drop the gun and tell us where Isabelle is and we may be able to cut you a deal."
Peytonsmiled. "Yes of course, the old cut you a deal plan. I'm not stupid, I know how you work."
"Yes and I know how you work, and what your afraid of." Rachel grinned as she saw the smile peel off Peyton's lips.
"I swear if you bring a snake, I will kill as many people as possible. Plus, you won't know where Isabelle is because I'll be dead. I'd rather die than face another snake."
Rachel stopped grinning, knowing Peyton wasn't lying; she really hated snakes. "Fine, we will let you go, if and only if, we find Isabelle alive and well."
Peyton gulped, trying to think of a way out of this situation. "I'll tell you the truth Rachel, just because were "best"friends, She was stolen off of me. I don't know where she was taken and why. All I know is the mans name; Barry Gray. Well, that was his teacher's name, I don't know if that was his real name or not. That's all I know."
Rachel hesitated, thinking about her next move, as well as Peyton's. "Fine, that's helped us. Now just out down your gun and let my men arrest you. You will be released when Isabelle is found, and only when she is found alive and healthy."
Peyton held the gun tighter in her hand. She thought things through. Kill 1, maybe 2 police officers and die, or go back to jail. She knew after they arrested her they would never let her go again. After a 50 second pause, she fired and caught one officer in the arm before Rachel fired and got her in the leg. Peyton crumbled and 2 officers flung themselves at her like hungry wolves, quickly binding her hands with handcuffs. They dragged her back to the tent, followed by Rachel.
As they put Peyton back on the bed, Rachel came in. "Bad move Peyton. It seems the snake is on its way."
Peyton's eyes filled with dread and she tried to get up, but got pushed back down. "I don't know anything. You bitch."
"You do know something, who were you working for then before your car was attacked."
Peyton hesitated, knowing how dangerous Katya was. However she also had nothing to lose, her life was over. "It's Katya, Sydney's aunt. I don't know why she wanted her; all I know is that she wanted some horizon or something and that she's willing to pay anything for it."
Rachel gasped, she had to tell Sydney. "What else."
Peyton rolled her eyes back. "She was making me bid for the item; however the other bidder gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. They were offering me eternal life and a large some of cash, which I of coarse took. In return I gave them documents of Katya's hideout in which they could kill her off."
Rachel started to think things were getting complicated. "Let me get this straight, you were to give Isabelle over to her great aunt, and then go and do Katya's bidding? Only you weren't really. You were going to collect your payment while your other employer's men killed Katya and Isabelle."
Peyton smirked. "That's about right yeh."
Rachel sighed. "Where is the bid taking place?"
"It doesn't matter now. Everything is screwed up. Someone else has Isabelle for unknown reasons and Sark and his employer are going to get away with everything."
Rachel's eyes widened at the sound of her old lover's name. "Did you just say Sark? Sark's involved?"
Peyton didn't care she had mentioned his name, in fact, now she wanted to take everyone down with her. "I'll give you the address of where the bidding will take place as well as where Katya can be found, on the condition that I am set free and I want it down on paper, signed."
Rachel didn't know whether to give in to her demands or not. She had helped give Irina Derevko nuclear warheads as well as working with Arvin Sloane in getting eternal life; she was a dangerous criminal who stopped at nothing to get what shewanted.
After around a 2 minute silence, she gave Peyton her answer. "Fine, now the address?"
Peyton smiled, she had won again.
