LANGSTON POV

I sighed as I parked at a nearby convenience store, it had been three days since Lindsey's kidnapping but we were still no closer to finding her. The only person at the moment who had even the slightest chance of finding her was Catherine. I got out of my car and headed into the store, I quickly got what I needed and was about to head to the checkout when I overheard the two men next to me talking. I froze, when they mentioned Salazar, I then noticed the tattoos on their arms. I quickly walked over, paid for my purchases, informed the clerk about what was going on and then left, I called Brass and warned him about what had happened, I then waited. Soon they arrived and we were ready, the clerk had been able to hold them up by talking to them, within moments Brass and his men moved in and arrested them. Later I was with the others, along with Lindsey's husband Ed and their daughter Sharon, we were waiting for Brass to inform us of the results of the interrogations. Soon he arrived, his face was grave.

"Okay, we've got their names, Arnesto and Raul, they were quite proud of their work for Salazar but they won't say anything about where she's holding Lindsey".

We all sank back into our seats, we were expecting this but it was still a letdown. Brass sighed and continued.

"Given their rap sheets and the kidnapping and God knows what else, they'll be arrested for a long time but...I don't think we're gonna get anything else outta them".

Great, that left just one question. What were we going to do now?

LINDSEY POV

If my sense of time was still right I had been held captive for the third day running. I was still gagged and blindfolded, I wondered how much longer until Mom would be given her last task. The door opened and I heard Salazar.

"I have some friends I want you meet my dear".

She removed my blindfold and then removed the cover from something she was carrying. My eyes widened when I saw it was a case holding some large bees, Salazar was smiling as she spoke.

"Aren't they lovely, these are my personal favourite pets and they're angry, how about I let them out, so you can meet them?"

I screamed into my gag and struggled desperately, if they were angry then once they were let out they would sting me, if they stung me then.

"Oh yes that's right, you're allergic to bees, that'll make this more interesting then".

I watched, terrified as she put her hand on the lid and prepared to open it.

'No, oh God please no, anything but this, please'.

Just then I was saved as the phone rang, Salazar sighed and covered the case again before putting it away. She then picked up the phone she had set on the table and answered it.

"Yes...What, that's impossible, those idiots!"

She aggressively hung up and slammed the phone on the table, she turned to face me, she was enraged.

"Seems like Arnesto and Raul got themselves arrested, the worthless fools".

I breathed a sigh of relief, unfortunately that was a mistake.

"Oh, you think that's funny do you".

She then grabbed what looked like a metal baseball bat, it was a metal baseball bat.

"Let's see if you find this funny...You...Stupid...Arrogant...Pathetic...Bitch!"

As she screamed at me she punctuated her words with a blow from the baseball bat, my agony was at its worse now. She had broken my right arm and right leg as well as several ribs, she also knocked the chair over so I was now lying on the floor.

Salazar threw the bat aside and turned her back on me ranting about the ineptitude of Arnesto and Raul. I then saw my chance, Salazar's anger had caused the phone to fall off the table and it was now within reach. I grabbed it and quickly checked, good Salazar was still raving, I quickly typed up a text message telling the address of where I was being held and the fact I was in the basement, Salazar still hadn't noticed thank God.

"Of all the incompetents, well it doesn't matter, they'd rather die than betray me, so they won't give anything away. Sometimes a man is called upon to be more than he has been in the past, sometimes he fails".

I took this chance to send the message containing the address to Mom and quickly slid the phone away from me. Salazar turned, unaware of what had happened, unaware that I was now smiling behind the tape over my mouth. She walked over and forced the chair back upright.

"Now, let's get this over with".

She walked over and picked up the phone and I knew she was gonna call Mom with the third task, but Mom wouldn't have to do it now, I had told her where I was, I just had to hope she got here on time.

CATHERINE POV

I sighed, Arnesto and Raul were now arrested and on their way to jail, with Raul gone I knew Lindsey wasn't in danger of being sexually assaulted now. But she was still in Salazar's clutches and all I could do was wait for the third task. Just then my phone rang, I checked it, a message, from Salazar, i sighed and opened it, I froze, it wasn't from Salazar, it was from her phone but somehow Lindsey had gotten her hands on it and was giving me an address, I knew then what was going on, Lindsey had given me her location, I wouldn't have to deal with the third task, I could go right there and save Lindsey. I quickly got into my car and drove off, heading for the address.

'Hold on Lindsey, I'm coming'.

My phone rang, Salazar with the third task, I ignored it, I knew where I was going I just had to hurry.

End of chapter, Catherine now knows were Lindsey is and is on her way to save her, will she arrive in time, will she be able to stop Salazar? The answers will be revealed in the next chapter. Hope you enjoyed this chapter, read and review please.
