Dean was at the other location that Seth gave him, nobody's there at all and he got more pissed at Seth for lying to him. 'Could this day get any worse for me?' Dean thought to himself he then felt his phone buzzed signaling a text from Roman.
-We got something. Roman.
He then quickly calls his partner to see what they have.
-"Agent Reigns". Roman answered.
-"It's me what do you got?" Dean asked.
-It's best if i just show you, how soon can we meet up?" Roman asked.
-"Give me 20 minutes, let's meet at the coffee shop". Dean said.
-"That's fine". Roman said.
Dean then hung the phone up he was still pissed off and needed to do something to release this frustration so he picked up the closest thing near him; A crowbar he then swung it hitting an old battered up car smashing the window then hitting the hood of the car over and over and over again till he couldn't anymore, he then dropped the crowbar feeling slightly better but not better better he was able to release some of the frustration but not all of it.
He then tried to calm himself down before he went to meet Roman to see what they got, after he calmed down some he got in his car and sped down the road heading to the coffee shop but wondered, 'What could Roman have found?' Dean thought as he continued the drive down the road.
While
Seth was finally able to get back on his leg but it was still sore to walk on but his emotions were still mixed ever since Lily got kidnapped, part of him wanted to let her go back to Dean but the other part still wanted that revenge on Dean for putting him in prison. He didn't know what to do but he knew that if he helped Lily in any way to escape or anything they would kill him.
While Randy, Kane, and Seth did the jobs they were ordered to do Triple H was out for a while, when they heard Lily screaming and crying at the top of her lungs it started to annoy all of them.
"Seth go shut her up i'm trying to work here and that is pissing me off". Randy told Seth.
"Alright". Seth said.
Seth then limped his way to the room that Lily is locked up in and opened the door to hear her screaming and crying at the top of her lungs, the loudness made him wince and once he slammed the door shut Lily stopped then glared at him.
"Lily i'm only telling you one time to be quiet". Seth said.
"Let me go! Dad! Help! Someone help me!" Lily screamed.
Seth then went to her bending down on his good knee covering her mouth with his hand.
"It's pointless in screaming sweetheart because nobody can hear you". Seth said.
Lily then bit down on his hand quite hard making him pull his hand back.
"Why you little". Seth said holding his hand in pain.
"Let me go! Let me go! Dad! Daddy!" Lily kept screaming.
Seth then has had enough so he takes an old cloth that was on the table and wrapped it around Lily's mouth, he then got a small pocket knife out showing it to her scaring her.
"Now you're going to sit in here and keep your mouth shut, one word out of you and you'll regret it understand me". Seth said.
Lily nodded just as more tears are flowing down her cheek and she squeezes her eyes closed tightly then Seth gets up and she could have swore she heard Seth say something like 'I'm sorry Lily'. She kept trying to get free but it was useless, they had the cuffs on so tight it was cutting into her wrist, they had her body tied to the chair so she couldn't move but kept her legs free.
'Where are you daddy?' Lily thought to herself.
While
Dean had finally arrived to the coffee shop where Roman was, he then spotted his partner over at a table then going to it.
"Hey what do you got?" Dean asked.
Roman then reached into his pocket and pulled the locket out holding it in his hand, Dean then picks it up holding it tightly in his hands.
"It's alright man, we got every agent, officer, all the manpower we have out there looking for her we will find her Dean". Roman said.
"How do you know Rome? Will we even find her alive? Lily is all I've got in this world she's my little girl, my baby and she's out there somewhere scared to death all because of me". Dean said.
"How is this your fault? You couldn't have known that they were planning this". Roman said.
"I let her walk home from school that day, i knew i should have picked her up but i thought she be ok". Dean said.
"Dean this is in no way your fault whatsoever, you didn't cause this to happen". Roman said.
"Well i know that what i did got me screwed". Dean said.
"What do you mean?" Roman asked.
"Cena suspended me until he says so, took my gun and shield". Dean said.
"Dammit, so what do we do?" Roman asked.
"I don't know about you but i'm working this case, i'll find Lily myself if i have too". Dean said.
"I'm in, I'll help you find her". Roman said.
"Thanks Rome". Dean said.
"Lily's my niece Dean I'll do anything for her". Roman said.
"Then let's get to work then". Dean said.
The two partners then went back to Dean's house so they can work on the case, Roman had called in and said he was sick and he'll be in the next day. The two then started to go through the case files on the crew hoping to find something. Then something came to Roman's mind.
"Dean what are you gonna do about the ransom? You know once you give him that money Lily's dead". Roman said.
"I don't know man, i don't have that kind of money lying around. I barely have anything to dent that in my account unless". Dean said.
"Unless what?" Roman replied.
"Do we still have that money from that drug bust from a few months back?" Dean asked.
"Your gonna use dirty money to pay the ransom? Are you nuts?" Roman asked.
"What other choice do i have Roman, this is my daughter's life at hand here the money could be foreign for all i care but if it gets me my baby back I'm willing to do it". Dean said.
"How you gonna get in? Cena took your badge". Roman said.
"Still got my ID as long as i have that it's all i need". Dean said.
"You are one crazy son of a bitch". Roman said.
"You just know finding this out?" Dean joked.
Dean then put his jacket on then grabbing his jacket and ID badge heading to HQ hoping he can get this money to save his little girl.
Meanwhile
Seth decides to check on Lily since she's been awfully quiet since the incident he even brings her some water and a granola bar so she doesn't starve or dehydrate, he opens the door and saw that the young girl had fell asleep but once the door opened she woke up with her eyes widen in fear and unshed tears forming in her eyes she then started to shake in fear when Seth approached her.
"Don't worry I'm not gonna hurt you, i brought you this so you don't starve or dehydrate". Seth said.
He then brought the cloth off of her mouth so she can talk.
"Why are you doing this Seth?" Lily asked scared.
"Why? I'll tell you why, your father stole 5 long years of my life from me so it's only fair if we take something from him". Seth said.
"You don't have to do this Seth, you can just let me go and turn yourself in. Just please let me go i wanna go home, i want my dad". Lily cried.
Seth then just opened the bottle of water and put it to her mouth letting her take a gulp, once she was finished he unhand cuffed her and took the rope off her.
"If you try to escape you will highly regret it, do you understand me". Seth said.
"Yes". Lily said.
He then handed the granola bar to her and she began taking small bites when Seth wasn't looking she glanced over towards the door and wondering if she should try and run, 'here goes nothing' Lily thought to herself. She then got up and slowly walked towards the door till she ran and Seth looked up catching her.
"Let me go! Let me go! Put me down! Dad! Daddy! Somebody help me!" Lily cried.
Seth had a grip on her rib area as he put his other hand on her mouth to keep her quiet but it was too late the others have heard it and they entered the room.
"What the hell is going on in here?" Triple H asked.
"She tried to escape". Seth said.
Triple H then walked over towards Lily who still remained in Seth's grasp then picked her chin up with his hand.
"Oh really well then i say let's give dear daddy a phone call what do you say Lily". Triple H said smirking.
Seth then sat her back down and tied her back to the chair then handcuffed her wrist while Hunter dialed Dean's number as he looked at the young terrified girl.
Dean's house
The two men spent hours and hours looking over case files and using Dean's white board to make lists about each person from their aliases to the hideouts they always went to, Dean hadn't slept since Lily has been kidnapped but sleep was the very least of his worries right now he had the money for the ransom he just now had to wait for the call.
Just then he felt his phone buzzing with an unknown number and he looked over to his partner wondering what to do, Roman nodded to say 'answer it'.
-"Ambrose". Dean answered.
-"Daddy?" Lily asked.
-"Lily, baby are you alright?" Dean asked.
-"She's just fine Dean". Triple H said.
-"What did you do with Lily you son of a bitch?" Dean growled.
-"She's just fine Ambrose perfectly safe, you got my money?" Triple H asked.
-"Yes, all of it". Dean answered.
-"Good man, we'll do the exchange tomorrow night. Midnight down on the docks, you come alone nobody else comes with you. Not your FBI buddies, not your partner, you come alone or Lily gets a bullet in her head. Do we have an understanding Dean". Triple H said.
-Yes we have an understanding. I'll be there tomorrow night midnight". Dean said.
-"Good and if nothing goes wrong little Lily goes back with you safe and sound, no scratch on her". Triple H said.
-"Let me talk to her". Dean said.
The phone then was out and Dean punched a hole in the wall.
"Dammit!" Dean yelled.
"Dude calm down alright, you get her back tomorrow night alright". Roman said.
"You don't honestly believe that do you?" Dean asked.
"Anything's possible Dean you just gotta have faith". Roman said.
"Yeah whatever". Dean muttered.
Dean then left his partner going up the stairs without saying a word, Roman knew it was best to leave Dean alone right now the man needed his space and he was gonna give it to him. Roman spent some more time on the case while Dean stayed upstairs not saying a word or anything so Roman decides to go check on his partner he looks in Dean's room first and it's empty he then looked in Lily's room holding something.
And if Roman just heard right he believe he just heard sniffing, was Dean crying? Dean never once cried for anything ever.
"Dean, are you alright?" Roman asked.
"Lily was always afraid of the dark she use to come running to my room in the middle of the night saying there was a monster in her closet or under her bed, i always looked to make her feel better then once she had calmed down i put her little night light on for her so she wouldn't be scared anymore. I got her this teddy bear just a couple years ago she keeps it close to her as if it was her protector". Dean said sniffing.
The kidnapping took a real toll on Dean in ways Roman never saw his friend before, he was now more angrier, frustrated, and for the first time that he knows of Dean actually cried.
Dean was never one to show his emotions or feelings around people that weren't his daughter, the moment that Lily was placed in his arms he was the happiest man in the world. Lily was his everything he had always protected her from anything and everything but in his mind he failed to protect her. 'This is all my fault i got my little girl kidnapped' Dean thought to himself.
"I'm the worst father in the world i got my little girl mixed into this, i got her kidnapped". Dean said.
"You are not the worst father ever Dean you're not and you didn't get Lily mixed into anything they wanted to use your weakness against you, Dean you didn't cause any of this at all. You couldn't have known that this would have happened alright you can't predict the future". Roman said.
"Well as long as i give him the money i get my little girl back that's the only thing that matters to me, he gets his money i get Lily back". Dean said.
"Did he say anything else?" Roman asked.
"I come alone, they don't want you or the guys anywhere around or Lily dies". Dean said.
"Don't worry man we'll get her back". Roman said.
"I hope your right". Dean said.
Later that night Roman went to sleep in the guest room while Dean just sat downstairs getting the money together for the ransom, once that is done he's lost in his thoughts so he gets up and pours himself a drink and gulps it down fast then pours him another one. He's trying real hard to not cry or break down.
'I need to be strong for Lily, i can't cry i need to be strong for Lily. Just hang in there sweetheart i'm coming, daddy's coming for you baby girl' Dean thought to himself.
While
Triple H is telling Randy, Kane, and Seth to prepare for the exchange tomorrow night while Lily remains in the room tied up with the cloth still wrapped around her mouth.
'Please hurry daddy...please' Lily thought.
