Sorry it took so long to update after the 5 reviews I requested. And thank you so much for reviewing! Please keep reviewing! :)

When nobody was looking Sam would feed some of her food to the new puppy. The puppy that Jake had given her for her fifteenth birthday. The puppy had been abandoned at the side of the road and Jake had thought that Sam might want a new puppy. She had named the puppy Rani. She was a beautiful puppy... But got into more mischief than you could ever imagine. But Sam loved her anyway.

She wasn't going to eat until they found Jake. Dead or alive. If he was alive she was going to admit about her feelings for him. If dead... She knew where a gun was. She closed her eyes again. What was she thinking? She'd once known a girl back when she lived with Aunt Sue, who had been suicidal. She had convinced her not to kill herself, and now the girl was one of the most bubbly and friendly girls you would ever meet, but now she felt that way?

She decided to take a shower. She showered until the water got cold, and then she sat down on the bottom of the tub and cried and cried. She cried until she was shivering and cold. And even then she didn't move from the spot. She missed Jake so much.

At the Ely's

"Why would he have attacked someone bigger and stronger than him? For no reason?" The newest police officer, Mr. Shields, was questioning the Ely family.

"I'm sure it was because of Sam." "Are you saying that Sam sent him into a trap?" "No, I am saying that the man attacked Sam, and Jake was protecting her."

This had been going on for about thirty minutes. "I see. Are Sam and Jake in a relationship?" "No. But anyone who knows him can tell that he loves her."

"Okay, so you are thinking that the man attacked Sam, and somehow Jake saw him attacking her, and attacked the man in attempts to keep her from getting hurt?"

Maxine sucked in an irritated breath. This man was driving her crazy. Just like her Ely men too, but it was expected from them.

"Yes sir, that is what I'm saying." "Okay Mrs. Ely, that's all, I will come back when I have more questions to ask you." "Okay. Feel free to drop in anytime." Not!

In the hide away of the bad guys

Jake felt a nudge on his side and awoke to the younger boy peering into his face. "Hungry?" He was handed a plate. On it was eggs, bacon and one pancake.

He looked down at his hands. They weren't tied.

"You shouldn't run. Mr. Link, and Mr. Raymond will hurt you." "What about Flick?" "I don't know what he'd do." The boy stiffened at the mention of Flick.

Jake ate like he hadn't eat for a week. Whoever had done the cooking sure was good at it. It wasn't as good as his mom's cooking, but it was still good.

"My name's Dustin. Your name is Jake right?" Jake nodded. Why did this boy want to know that?

The older boy walked in the room. "Dustin. Come on."

Dustin took the plate from Jake's hands and left the room with the older boy. Jake watched them leave and then began to try to untie the ropes on his legs.

Man those ropes were tight! He tugged one direction, then the other. The rope did dig into his ankles a little bit, but he struggled anyway. He had almost gotten the ropes untied and was ready to bolt out the door when he heard a voice behind him.

"Wouldn't do that if I were you Ely."
