Hunter seen that she was asleep and took her upstairs to there master bedroom. As he layed her down he heard a knocking on the door and walked down stairs to open it. He seen Shawn,Dave,and Shane standing on the doorstep
" Where's Steph" Shane said as the three guys walked into the foyer
" Upstairs sleeping" Hunter said as he led them into the den
" I'm gonna go check on her" Shane said as he walked up the winding staircase
" So did you guys find him" Hunter sat down on the sofa
" No were still searching" Dave said
" Hunter the balls in his court there really isn't anything we can do but wait" Shawn sighed. Hunter didn't want to admit it but he knew Shawn was right.
Shane walked into the bedroom and seen Stephanie asleep. He sat down on the edge of the bed and brushed her hair back. She was all he had. He would risk everything to protect her. He remembered when she was little and how she used to make him check for monsters under the bed. He chuckled just thinking about it
" Shane what are you laughing about" Stephanie stirred in her sleep
" I was thinking about when you were little" Shane smiled at her as she layed her head in his lap
" I'm scared Shane" Stephanie said softly as he ran his hands through her hair
" Don't worry about it baby girl" Shane said as he leaned down and kissed her forehead
" I wish everyone would stop saying that" Stephanie said unconvinced
" Steph I have never broken a promise to you" Shane told her
" I know but Brian is capable of alot of things" Stephanie looked up at him with her sad blue eyes
" Shhhh don't think about it" Shane whispered. He knew no amount of words would make her feel better. After a few moments they heard a loud noise downstairs. Shane got up and pulled his gun out from his suit jacket. Stephanie got up and walked behind Shane as they slowly walked down the stairs.
When they got downstairs they seen Hunter,Shawn,and Dave fighting off some guys. Shane turned around and looked at Stephanie " Go back upstairs and lock the door" he ordered
" Shane I don't want to" Stephanie whined
" Now'' Shane barked she ran upstairs but didn't get very far as some guys grabbed her . She screamed but he put his hands over her mouth.They slowly walked downstairs and into the livingroom.
Hunter seen some guys walk down the stairs holding Stephanie by the arm. Shane,Shawn,and Dave knew there was nothing they could do as they were outnumbered. Shawn had to hold Shane back because he was trying to get to Stephanie.
" Well look at this big bad Hunter ain't so big" One guy laughed
" I swear to god if you hurt her your head will be on a damn platter" Hunter yelled
" Hunter If I were you I'd keep my mouth shut" The guy laughed as he grabbed Stephanie and led her out the door.
As Stephanie walked out the door she could hear Shane saying " I can't lose her". She was so scared she didn't no what was instore. She started to cry as a guy forced her into a black cadillac esv. She felt like she was walking into hell.
