Glad so many of you are enjoying the story...

I sat in my office for two hours trying to figure out who could have kidnapped my

daughter and who wanted revenge. Who did we put away ten years ago? I thought

back hard and remembered a Terry Wayne. He was a child kidnapper and

molester. He would kidnap the kids, rape them, they were mostly girls. And then he

would bury them alive.

Shoot, I thought shaking my head. It had to be Terry! He had our little girl! I called

Stella, Danny, and Lindsay back into my office and told them what I had figured

out. "If it's Terry, we've got no time to waste. He could be doing who knows what

with my daughter now. We've got to act fast and do what the kidnapper says, If we

want to see Megan again".

The phone rang just then and it was an unknown caller. "Terry", I greeted in a not so

friendly tone.

"I see you've done your homework, Mac. You got that one right. Now, if you could

just do as I say, I might let Megan live".

I sighed. "What do you want, Terry?" I just hoped and prayed my little girl was alright.

"First off, I want 10 million in cash. No checks, no other cops need to follow us. You hand me the money, I tell you where your little girl is". the killer had a raspy voice.

"ok. That sounds like a deal to me. I'll be there. What time?" I asked.

"At midnight tonight, don't screw this one up Taylor". Terry hung up.

Stella looked at me in alarm. She was by now starting to freak out. "What did he say, Mac?"

I told her everything. "He want's me to come alone with no other cops."

"He's crazy! Mac, don't go alone!"

"I have no choice, Stella, We need to get out daughter back". I said.

It looked like it was going to be a long dreadfull night.
