Ana

At half past three I slip out of the house unnoticed. I've worn a pair of trainers and a velour tracksuit with a baseball cap. No one can know where I'm going so I've already got a plan in mind and hopefully it will go off without a hitch.

I jump into my Audi Q7 that's almost gold in colour that Christian bought me after the twins were born understanding I needed a more family oriented car. The press are still hanging out around the door and they go wild when I come out of the gate. It's bad enough knowing that security at the gate now knows I've headed out but with Amaya missing we've been back and forth going on vigils, to Church and to hand posters out so me heading out alone isn't that much of a big deal, security usually meets us from Escala wherever we go so I hope that they think that's what's going on.

Of course, I'm not stupid. I drive to Grey's Publishing and drop off my car and leave my cell phone. Luckily for me I bought an unmarked phone a few years ago that has all the numbers I need stored inside just in case I needed them though I had hoped I would never have to succumb to using it.

I leave my car in the parking lot and head inside. No one really pays attention to me as I head inside hidden behind my dark sunglasses. Once in my office I drop my cell on the desk before leaving again.

Once outside I flag down a cab and jump inside as soon as it stops.

"Bremerton Ferry Dock." I tell him and he heads off without so much as a glance towards me, to which I am thankful.

At ten to four I arrive at the ferry dock and pay the cabby with the cash I had in my purse, giving him an obscene tip with the 'keep the change' mantra. Once he's drive off I look out across the water sending up a prayer to any God that I'm not about to walk into a trap, that Jack is honest in wanting to help me get back my baby girl.

I hang around until four o'clock and then make the decision to go into the McDonalds and find out once and for all if the man that called me was as genuine as he sounded.

All the nervous situations of my life don't mount up to this one. All the decision's I have ever made are insignificant in comparison to the one I have just made. I am scared, frustrated, worried, anxious but those don't matter as my love for my daughter drives me through the glass doors of the cheap diner and into it's warmth.

I scan the place, looking for Jack but I don't see him. I don't see anyone who looks at all to be suspicious. My stomach growls in protest as I've not eaten a thing all day, forgetting about the growing child inside of me in favour for the one I have loved for years, not on purpose of course but that's what has been happening. Deciding as I am here to feed myself and the baby I order a grilled chicken salad wrap with fries and a coke and once it's served I take a seat by the window. As soon as I've unwrapped my wrap a man falls into the seat of the booth opposite me.

I'm shocked and frozen. It's Jack Hyde. He was here on my first scan of the restaurant but too far away for me to see his eyes but close enough that I didn't think it was him. He looks so different. His pony tail is gone, now his head is shaven to a number three, scruffy like he's been running his fingers through it but not greasy. He looks clean, smells of aftershave and a hint of clove cigarettes, his eyes, softer than I ever remember them being.

"You look good Jack." I manage to say as he sips at his own drink. I don't mean to sound as nervous as I do but my voice quivers as I address him.

"Thank you Anastasia, and may I say you're absolutely glowing." He replies politely before swiping at one of my fries with a playful and friendly smile, this man is not the man I remember being sentenced ten years ago. "Now eat your food, it wouldn't be good for that baby inside of you if you starved yourself."

"How…" I stutter.

"How did I know?" He finishes for me and I nod. "I've avoided your security by becoming the hunter, I follow them and they can't follow me." He explains, I swallow and nod reflectively. "Don't worry Ana, no harm will come to you from me."

"Why should I believe you?" I ask as he unwraps my wrap for me and pushes it towards me, encouraging me to eat.

"You shouldn't, you'd be wise not too after what I did to you ten years ago. But I am a changed man Anastasia. I mean you no harm whatsoever."

"Christian will kill you if he finds you." I say quietly. "He thinks you have Amaya."

"I don't have her and I know how much your husband hates me. While you eat I'll tell you why I changed and then once you've eaten I'll tell you what I know about Amaya's disappearance and my plan on getting her back to you."

I think I nod as he gives a small nod of his head towards my wrap encouraging me to eat it. I take a small bite and he smiles warmly before he begins to talk.

"Prison wasn't what I expected it to be. I thought it would be an easy ride but it wasn't. At first I was beaten repeatedly by the men in there, a lot of them had heard of what I had done to you and Miss Grey from the news and being fans of yours and your husbands they made sure I knew about it. I had my ribs broken repeatedly, my nose and my jaw. I spent some of the first few months of my prison sentence in the hospital getting surgeries on my face hence why I look so different. The rest of my first year and a bit afterwards was spent in a prison rehab facility as my jaw at one point was wired shut. Back in prison the guards watched me a little closer, making sure no one would get to beat me like that again which was good at first, I was left alone to get on with things but then once the guards did turn a blind eye they found a way to hurt me that didn't leave a mark."

I'm hanging on his every damn word as I eat. He recalls his story looking like it hurts as much now as it did then and I even find myself feeling sorry for him, no one deserves that even if this man did nearly kill me, Mia and Teddy.

"How?" I ask in a whisper that shows how enrapt I am in this tale of his.

"They raped me." He says tears shining in his eyes as I gasp completely horrified at the prospect, Jack Hyde raped and abused, some would expect me to feel smug that he got what he deserved but I don't. I feel almost apologetic. "That's when I realised how awful it must have been for every woman I had ever hurt, I never raped anyone sure but I had taken advantage of women, made them feel worthless and for the first time in my life I felt horrified at what I had done."

I swallow hard. Poor Jack! I think though maybe I need to see a shrink and discuss these feelings because I'm almost certain that I shouldn't be feeling sorry for him.

"Between being raped and sodomized by the prisoners I began writing letters to those I'd hurt apologising to them for what I had done, at the same time I found faith. I repented my sins and begged to Christ for forgiveness. I even wrote to you but I suspect you never got the letter."

I shake my head. If I was sent something by Hyde it would have been intercepted as is all Christian and my post, even at Grey's Publishing my post go through a rigorous screening process and something by Jack would have been shredded at once.

"Anyway after my fifth year a new guy started sharing his cell with me, he raped me twice sometimes three or four times a day. When he found out what I did I found out he had an unhealthy obsession for you. I don't want to give you all the sordid details Anastasia but he often called your name out when he raped me and had pictures of you from newspapers and magazines that we had in the prison on his walls. I mentioned it to the shrink I had to see, how worried I was for your safety especially with him only in for five years but he told me not to worry, that this guy wasn't my problem."

I'm horrified and the little that's left of my wrap and fries are pushed away to one side as I feel sickened to my stomach.

"The last year with him was hell on earth for me Anastasia. The rapes became worse and prolonged and as he… as he fucked me he would talk about his grandmaster plan to getting you once he was out of prison. He said if he couldn't get you then he would take something as close to you as he could and there's no denying that those little girls are your clones."

I am shaking as I pray that no harm has come to my baby girl at the hands of this monster.

"Is this who has my baby girl?" I ask praying that he could be wrong.

"Yes."

"And you're sure?"

"One hundred percent. I kept I touch with him when he got out in fear of what he could do to you and to your family, I knew he'd tell me, he was using me to be the person who he could confess his darkest desires to."

"Will he have… touched my daughter?" I almost vomit at the mere thought of what he could do.

"Not yet. He will tell me when he has." Jack replies looking just as sickened.

"Where is he?"

"I'm not one hundred percent sure."

"Then what are we going to do?!" My voice raises and brings unneeded attention to us.

"We're going to go after him. Hunt him down and find him." Jack says clutching my hand tightly. "I promise Ana I can help it Amaya will come home safe and sound but for that to happen you have to trust me completely, stop doubting that I told you all this to make you trust me and to make you remorseful for putting me in prison because that's not the case. God as my witness Ana I just want to help." He says looking deep into my eyes and I know, I just know he's telling the truth.

"So what do we do?"
