Chapter Five: Getting Back

Ben POV

I got out of the car with Abigail, and quietly we walked up to the house.

"I hope Riley made sure Rose got some sleep…she needs to be well rested to recover." Abigail muttered. "Yeah, but I am doubting he did." I replied.

"Yeah."

When we got in the house it was quiet. I expected to see some make out session or something like that on our couch but no one was there. I frowned. Maybe they were in her bedroom. "The Ferrari's still here." I murmured. Abigail raced up to Rose's room, calling out their names.

"Rose, Riley come on out here we're back." I called. No response.

"Rose?"

"Riley?"

"Ben! Ben, they're-they're…gone." Abby was in tears now, and I gave her a quick hug. "I think we should call Sedusky."

"Alright."

The FBI was over in minutes. Looking at evidence going through the house.

"We've found several footprints and fingerprints that don't match yours, Abigail's, Rose's, or Poole's. We believe those would be the kidnappers." Sedusky admitted. Abigail choked back a sob. As if on cue, my phone rang. I sighed in relief. It was Rose.

"Rose, where are you? Are you okay?" I demanded.

"Slow down Ben slow down." An uncanny terribly familiar voice spoke.

"Ian." I growled.

I don't want to type up the whole, covo. So here we'll skip to the end of the phone call.

"Don't think I can huh Gates?"

"Ian let them go, I'll do anything if they're let go. I swear." I promised scared to death now.

"Not quite yet. Meet me in five days at the old factory on Barron Street in Baremont New York, at 1 o'clock. Yeah that's right. Baremont." He said. Crap. He was in the old town Sarah used to live in with Rose. "Bring five million dollars in cash, and unmarked. Don't bring any of your FBI friends. F-"

"No. Tomorrow." I interjected. He sighed frustratedly.

"Five days. End of story."

"One day."

"Two days." He growled. "Obey my instructions and they might just get out alive." He said seethingly. I HATED him! "Oh and Ben." He noted before hanging up. Before I could reply he stated, "Don't be late. For every five minutes your late they receive punishment. And as time goes on…they get…harsher." He hung up.

Crap.

"He's in Baremont." I sigh. "We're meeting in two days at the factory on Barron Street. We're supposed to bring five million dollars." I finished.

"We-we have to get them now." Abigail cried. "I know…but I just barely negotiated it down from five days to two…" I struggled to keep control of myself. My best friend and niece had been kidnapped.

"We'll be on stand by." Sedusky promised. "Just-just promise you won't let them find you." Abigail stuttered through her tears. "We won't." We'll be back on Wednesday morning to go to Baremont." He said the FBI packed up and left as quickly as they came. Later that night Abigail had gone to bed.

"Are you coming to bed soon?" Abigail asked from the kitchen doorway. I glanced back at her. "I'll be up in a few." I promised. I looked on the table. Blood samples. Rose's blood. I shuddered.

"Mew?" a black cat nuzzled against my legs and I peered down. I smiled sadly knowing the cat was wondering where his sleeping buddy was. I remembered when we found out Rose brought this cat home.

FLASHBACK

"Ben! There's a mini black panther on the deep freezer!" Abigail shrieked from the basement. What? "What?" I yelled coming down the steps. Rose stood in front of it guiltily. "What. Is. That?" I wondered seeing the small black cat on the deep freezer.

"Our cat?" Rose squeaked. "Our what?" Abigail blurted.

"Well…you see I was at the humane society and one of the cats was going to have kittens. I was supposed to take care of them…and I do, too. I got a little attached to Zeus here…and so I adopted him." Rose sighed.

"Zeus?" I asked. "I named him…actually I named the whole litter. There were six, Athena, Hercules, Demeter, Zeus, Artemis, and Calypso." She finished.

"How'd you get the adoption slip signed?" Abigail asked in a motherly tone. She blushed, and looked over to me from petting the cat's black fur. Oops.

"Well…you know that slip for the kitten thing I asked you to sign last week? Um…yeah that was for this kitten." She shrugged sheepishly. "Ben?" Abigail shot her eyebrows up towards me. "I didn't know it was for this I swear." I quickly spluttered out. "Can't we keep him? Please? Please? Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty please?" She whined. Ironically she gave off a puppy dog eyed look. "You lied-"

"Technically you never asked if I had a pet cat, or what the kitten thing was." She protested picking little Zeus up off the freezer carrying him towards me. "How can you say no to this?" She pouted along next to the small kitten. I couldn't help but get lost in his little green orbs of bright lighted eyes. I sighed. "Alright, alright."

End of flashback

I carried the small kitten into Rose's room, and closed my eyes going to bed.
