Frank, Henry, Danny and Erin just stared at the frozen image on their computer screen. Jamie, eyes closed. They had just watched the video emailed to them and now no - one knew what to say.
"No Nicki" Erin spoke up first, her worry for her daughter clear to see on her face. Henry put his hand around her shoulders "I'm sure she's ok. She's tough" Erin just looked down at her hands.
Frank turned his attention to Danny, he could see the anger building in him before his eldest burst out
"That son of a bitch, too afraid to show his face to me. When I find out who it is he'll wish he'd never set eyes on me" grabbing his phone he rang Jackie. He knew his partner would be sat waiting for him to call with any news, she herself had been scouring hours of cctv footage anything to try to get a lead. As Danny filled her in on what they had just seen she sat down heavily in her chair.
"Jackie, I need you to check and see if any of my collars died in prison, I can't imagine there will be many at all so it shouldn't be too hard to find out who this son of a bitch is"
"Sure Danny"
" We're sending the email to tech, see if they can trace it's originating IP address, or find anything out from the video. I'm on my way in, I'll see you soon"
"Danny, it's fine you should stay with your family. I can handle it here"
"Thanks, but I need to do this. The maniac has my brother and neice I can't just sit around waiting"
"Ok, see you soon".
Danny hung up the phone and spun round to grab his coat. Putting his hand on Erin's shoulder as he walked out. Whoever this was who had his family were in big trouble now. As he drove away he couldn't get the image of his brother in pain out of his head. He wanted to scream and vomit at the same time. His heart beat heavily against his chest, he just hoped his baby brothers was still beating too.
