AUTHORS NOTE: So I know I said that I might not do much writing but when you're trying not to fall asleep in the afternoon, what else can you do? I also think that writing will keep my mind at bay and that's always key at times like this so expect updates a plenty!

"What do you mean they weren't there?" Robbie shouted at his mobile as he turned to look at Jackie and she rose from her chair, her hand grabbing her coat without even bothering to wait for him to tell her what was happening. "I don't care if you were on time, there shouldn't have been a moment when those three girls were left alone." He was practically growling now and both detectives listening felt sorry for the uniformed officer. "You'll be lucky if you have a job left after this, son." He said as his final promise as he slammed his phone shut and turned to look at them again.

"Do they know where the girls have gone?"

"An unknown car was seen driving away from the address a few seconds before our incompetent officer turned up." He said moving over to where Stuart's computer was. "He got a glimpse of the registration plate but not the whole thing," he said filling Stuart in on the few digits that the imbecile had managed to note down before moving over to his own desk. "I shouldn't have listened to those girls. I should have brought the good doctor in and had him bloody charged with the murder of Sheila."

"Robbie, you weren't to know that some idiot would dress up as an officer and kidnap them!" Jackie assured him as she rubbed his shoulders before looking over at Stuart. "How many cars have you found in the area with those partial digits?"

"There are approximately five thousand. Any chance the officer gave you the model and its colour because that would really help bring the number down?" Stuart asked and Robbie pulled out his mobile so that he could call the officer back.

Once they'd been in the car longer than they'd expected, the three girls cottoned onto what was happening. The "officer" had already confiscated their mobiles, saying that it messed with the radio, so they had no means to get in touch with any of the detectives to let them know what was going down. They were holding hands, their grip tight as they tried to figure out any sort of plan. Ellanna had already tried to open the back door with the idea that they could just dive out but none of them had thought that their kidnapper would be smart enough to turn on the kid locks.

"Stop plotting, you aren't going anywhere." The man grumbled causing the three girls to stiffen in their seats as they stared in front of them. How could they have allowed this to happen? Last week they were your normal type of geek that just wrote about their favourite things and now they were in the middle of a murder case while in their kidnapper's car.

"Why are you doing this?" Leila whispered causing the man to look up at them through the rear view window.

"I'm just paid to pick you up, sunshine. There's no need to be afraid of me. You should be afraid of the guy that's waiting for you at the other end." He pointed out and the girls swapped glances, tears stinging each of their eyes as they realised that they'd be struggling to get out of this one.

"He says it was a black Land Rover," Robbie pointed out the minute he hung up the phone and watched as Stuart typed the details into the DMV website, his breath being held as he waited for the results to come back. Stuart clicked several buttons before looking over at Robbie.

"It's been reported stolen." There were a few more clicks of his mouse before the printer started up. "I'm printing out the statement now so that we can see what we can get from that." He reached over to the printer to grab the pieces of paper before handing them over to Robbie as he did more searches on his computer about the original owner and to see if they could be linked to the good doctor himself.

Robbie quickly flicked through the report before noticing one key factor, "the damned car was stolen from the hospital this morning." He looked up at Jackie before turning to Burke who had been listening in from his door. The man nodded.

"Bring the son of a bitch in," he said before turning into his office muttering that he'd sort out a warrant so they could search his property for their three missing girls. Robbie didn't need telling twice. He was out of the door before Jackie could even put one arm into her coat.

Pulling up outside a town house, the man stopped the car and climbed out. "You girls are going to act normal or I'll shoot the little one," he whispered to them pointing at Leila and the two older girls just nodded their head in agreements before forcing smiles onto their faces. "Come on, dumplings. Aren't you all excited to see your uncle?" He called brightly to them as an elderly woman passed.

"Oh we're going to combust with excitement," Ellie sarcastically commented causing Ellanna to elbow her in the side before the man motioned for them to move up the path to the front door. "We could just make a run for it?"

"Aye and let Leila get shot? The guy is a professional. He's going to know how to shoot." Ellanna whispered back as she reached out and knocked on the door. She found herself taking in the appearance of the house and wondered if this was where Sheila had stayed with her fiancé. It was their kind of style. It was rich and elegant with that horrid show home feel.

The door opened but there was no face there so Ellanna took hold of Leigh's hand and in they moved, unaware of what they were going to face.

"I'm afraid the doctor phoned in sick this morning but I believe that's understandable because his wife has just been gunned down in a car park." The nurse said as if the two detectives didn't already know that. "Don't you just think its plain awful how people treat each other these days?"

"Yes. Simply dreadful," Robbie commented back without even cracking a smile before glaring at the woman. "Could you possibly give us his house address? We desperately need to talk to him about his wife. It would help us catch her killer." He lied noting the infatuation the woman obviously had on the man and making her think that by giving them the address would be a great help would give them better results. She looked at him for a moment before smiling.

"Of course," she said moving round to the nurse's station. "He'll be so happy that such good detectives are on his wife's case. He loved her so much even though she suffered from schizophrenia. He took great care of her." However the two detectives didn't hear the last sentence as they stared at the woman. Sheila had been schizophrenic? How had they not known this? Why didn't she have a medical history? It did, however, make sense to how come the good doctor couldn't stop the contact being friends with her. The woman must have thought it was a game.

"Did the doctor's wife have a bad case of schizophrenia?"

"Oh god, it's the worst we've ever seen here at the hospital." The nurse said as she typed on the computer. "She would constantly talk about these three imaginary friends and about how they were her life. She said she'd stay up all night to talk to them online and that they were one day going to save her from her abusive husband. It was just the way her imagination worked. She could be easily influenced. You told her someone was abusing her and she'd seriously believe they were. The doctor is a pure saint for putting up with her."

"He sure is a treat," Jackie grumbled taking the piece of paper with the doctor's address on it before leaving with Robbie. "The doctor has been playing us since the beginning, Robbie. Sheila didn't want the girls dead at all .The girls were the only thing keeping her sane because of her illness and because of her husband's abuse."

"The doctor was aware that she was getting stronger thanks to the influence and needed to kill them off. He found their website and got the boy to read it. Schizophrenic's have an obsession and all the doctor needed to say was that Sheila loved this work then he'd become addicted." He ran his hand over his tired face. He'd heard about abusing the oath but this was going a little to the extreme!

"And the girls are now being kidnapped by this guy?" He sighed. They were done for because the guy obviously wasn't stable and he wanted revenge but for what?
