"What did he say"? Matt asked as he ran behind the officer who was power walking through the house to to the front door.
"Nothing we didn't already know........he has her." Officer Jerry told him as he walked out the front door to the other officers that were out front of the Ritter's house.
"Where is she? Is she ok? Did they hurt her? What does he want?" Junior was asking thousands of questions.
"All we know at this moment is that Kerry has her." The officer told Matt and Junior in a calm voice.
"WE ALREADY KNOW HE HAS HER BUT THAT IS NOT ENOUGH I WANT HER BACK HERE SAFE AND SOUND." Matt yelled at Jerry outraged.
Jerry took off his hat and ran his hands over his head as he took a long deep breath.
"I know this is hard on all of you......I really do......but you need to understand that we are on your side and are doing all we can to find Kris and make sure she is safe. We are trying to track down the phone that Kerry used but for now it is saying that it is out if service. Until we have some lead as to where Kerry is, as to what he may want, and as to where he is going there is not much we can do. You need to try and calm down and let us do our job and when we find some answers I promise you will be the first to know." Jerry told them as calm and sweet as he could. He then walked over to some officers and discussed a game plan.
"Come on man.....lets go inside." Matt told Junior as he put his arm over his best friends shoulder as they walked inside.
An Hour Later
"I just wish I knew what he wanted." Matt told his family as he sat around the table with all of them. Junior had walked out of the house for a little fresh air that he desperately needed.
"We all do honey." Jean told her son as she once again wiped what was probably the billionth tear off of her face.
"I mean if he wants money then we can give him money. If he wants us to drop the charges against him for stealing the Breeders money then we will do that. I don't care what he wants I just want Kris back and I don't want him to hurt her." Jean added and the tears poured down her face.
They all nodded there heads.
Junior had walked out side to get some much need fresh air. He nodded his head to the officers that were out side and continued to walk down towards the barn. He didn't know where he was going but some how found him self standing at Wildfire's stall. Even Wildfire knew that something was wrong with Kris and he was just as on edge as anyone else. Junior walked over to the horse and rubbed his nose.
"Hey boy." Junior whispered.
"I don't really know what to do. I miss her so much and I am worried about her. I know that Kerry has always wanted to be with Kris and has always been mad since me and her ended up together. I keep thinking that if he really loves her and wants to be with her then maybe he wont hurt her..........I keep think about her scared or hurt and I am not there to help her and make it better. I keep thinking about the past few years and all of the things I have missed in her life all just because i thought work was more important......I haven't thought about work at all in the past few days....all I have thought about was Kris. I couldn't care less about work all I want is my wife back." Junior told the horse as he wiped the tears that were rolling down his cheeks.
"I had the best dream last night........Me and Kris had a beautiful daughter, Lena, and I was picking her up at Dani and Matt's after Kris and I got back from spending the weekend together and when I went to pick her up I told Dani that Kris was feeling fine and that the baby started kicking so apparently Kris was pregnant again........I was so happy until I woke up and realized that it was just a dream...........I want it to be real.....I want Kris back.....I want our flawless marriage that we once had.....I want to have babies with her......I just want our lives to go back to the way they were the year after our wedding." Junior said sighing.
"JUNIOR" he heard Dani yelling from the house.
Junior ran up to the house.
"Whats wrong"? He asked out of breath.
"They tracked down Kerry." Dani told him.................................TO BE CONTINUED!!!
