Author's Note: Sorry it took me so long to update but I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled this week and I am finally able to sit up without passing out. The doctor gave me some pretty powerful stuff. So if somethings in this chapter don't make sense that is probably why... just ask if you don't get something and I will clarify. Enjoy the chapter.

LAX Airport

Brandon and Kelly had just gotten off the plane and the only thing on either one of their minds was finding little Cassie. Kelly could hear her cries as they got off the plane and for a minute she thought she was going nuts, but when she looked over at Brandon and saw that look on his face she knew that he heard something too.

"I want MOMMY!" A little girl screamed from across the room.

" Brandon do you hear that?" Kelly asked as her head snapped to where she could have sworn she heard Cassie cry.

"I think so…" Brandon began but before he could finish Steve interrupted.

"Hey Brando over here…" Steve called as he waved the two over.

" Brandon I have to know… I'll be right back." Kelly said as she started to follow the cries but Brandon grabbed her hand.

"I'm not letting you go alone." Brandon said as he ignored Steve and followed Kelly.

"Your mommy's not going to save you…"

"Dan…" Kelly whispered. " Brandon over here." Kelly said taking Bandon's hand and following the voice.

Kelly walked down the hall followed by Brandon leaving Steve with a quizzical look on his face. The voice seemed to be coming from around the corner, but as the two rounded the corner they saw nothing. The voices had stopped and Kelly could no longer hear her little girl crying. Brandon just stood there totally confused. Was he hearing things too, or was this actually happening.

"They were here… I heard her… Brandon, am I going crazy?" Kelly asked looking up at him with tears in her eyes.

"If you are… so am I, cause I heard it too." Brandon said as Steve walked up to them.

"Hey guys… didn't you hear me calling you?" Steve said putting his arms around his friends.

"Sorry about that Steve… lets go home." Brandon said as took Kelly's hand and led her out to the car.

Inside The Bathroom

Inside the men's bathroom on the other side of the wall where Brandon and Kelly had been standing was a man and a little girl. The little girl had long blonde hair that was slightly curled and pulled back with a purple headband. Tears streamed down her perfectly tanned cheeks from her bright blue eyes. She sat curled up on the floor next to the wall clutching her teddy bear. The man took her in his arms and set her up on the counter before telling her…

"That was great Cassie…" He said as he wiped away some of the tears from her face.

"When can I see mommy?" Cassie cried as she pushed his hands away from her and jumped off the counter.

"When mommy gives me what I want!" Dan said as he grabbed her arm and pulled her back to him.

"I wanna go home!!!" Cassie screamed as loud as she could.

"Shut up!" Dan screamed as he smacked her across the face.

Casa Walsh

Steve's car pulled up in front of the Walsh house and before it could come to a complete stop Kelly already had the door open and was trying to get out. Brandon didn't blame her but he also didn't want to see her get hurt so he kept her in the car until Steve could get it stop. Brenda was sitting on the steps outside and as soon as she saw Kelly she ran up to her.

"Kel I'm so sorry I shouldn't have left her in the room by herself." Brenda had been beating herself up all morning.

"Bren, it wasn't your fault… Did you talk to the police yet?" Kelly asked trying to stay as calm as she could.

"They're inside talking with Jackie and David." Brenda said as Brandon walked up behind Kelly.

"You okay?" Brandon asked wrapping his arms around her.

"I'm trying not to lose it…" Kelly said taking a deep breath.

"They need a recent picture of Cassie…" Brenda said as Kelly began to walk inside.

Police were everywhere as she made her way into the living room where she could hear her mom talking. As she walked in she could see her baby sister Erin sitting on Cindy's lap as Jackie talked with an officer. David noticed Kelly standing there and went over to give her a hug. Brandon stood there watching while she held onto David with almost everything she had left in her. Right now all she needed was family around her and that was exactly what she was getting.

"David where is she?" Kelly asked burying her face in his shirt.

"That's what the police are going to find out." David said leading her over to the couch.

"Are you the girl's mother?" One of the officers asked.

"Cassie, her name is Cassie… and yeah I'm her mom…. Where's my baby?" Kelly said tears streaming from her eyes again.

"We'll find her… now do you have a recent picture of her… your mom said you took one with you."

"Yeah here…" Kelly said handing him the picture and turning to face her mother. "Mom where is she? Where's my little girl? I want her back mom… I just want my baby back." Kelly cried as she hugged Jackie.

"I know sweetie… we'll get her back." Jackie said stroking Kelly's hair.

"Is there anyone you know of that wanted to harm you or your daughter?" The officer said.

"Yeah… her father… Dan… Daniel Peters… He called a few days ago and threaten me, but I didn't think much of it… I realize now that I should have taken it more seriously." Kelly said as Brandon sat next to her.

"Any idea where he might be?" The officer asked.

"He has a place in Long Beach… or at least he use too." Kelly said trying not to picture it.

"What does this Daniel Peters look like?" The officer asked writing everything down in his notepad.

"Tall… I'd say about six five… dark hair, short and spiked upped… bright blue eyes just like Cassie's… He used to wear glasses, but I think he has contacts now… I'm sorry I haven't seen him in over five years." Kelly said as Brandon put his arms around her,

Just then Dylan and Donna walked in the front door, Dylan holding a piece of paper in his hand. Donna ran over to Kelly and gave her a quick hug before moving over to let Dylan hand her the piece of paper. Dylan just walked up to her with this look of concern and sincerity in his face as he passed her the paper.

"We found this outside." Dylan said as she took the paper.

Kelly read it to herself knowing that it was a ransom note and that Dan was the one who wrote it. She could recognize that handwriting anywhere, and there really wasn't anyone else who would want to take her little girl. When she finished she looked up at Brandon and handed him the note. Brandon read it and handed it back to her when he was finished. He couldn't believe that Dan could do this to someone as sweet and innocent as Kelly, but there wasn't anything he could do about it.

"Can I see that?" The officer said with his hand outstretched.

"Sure." Kelly said handing it to the officer.

" Brandon can I see you for a second?" Dylan asked.

"Yeah sure… Kel you gonna be okay?" Brandon asked looking over at Kelly.

"I'll be okay." Kelly said as Brandon gave her a pat on the knee before he got up and followed Dylan.

Kitchen

Once the two were in the kitchen and out of earshot from everyone else Dylan began to walk around the room not sure how to start. He didn't want to start with what was really on his mind because that might cause a fight between him and his best friend. So instead he just started talking about Cassie and how much Kelly wanted her back.

"I hate seeing her this way…" Dylan said looking over at Brandon.

"I don't like it anymore than you do man, but what are we gonna do?" Brandon asked back.

"Let's do something about it…" Dylan suggested.

"Like what?" Brandon asked not liking where this was going.

"Oh I don't know find Cassie right now!" Dylan said grabbing his jacket and walking out the door.

"And how do you suppose we do that?" Brandon asked.

"Kelly said he had a place in Long Beach… it's a start!" Dylan said walking to his car.

"Wait for me." Brandon said following him to the car.
