My mom rushed towards us and Zach backed up a little. Mom hugged me so tight I thought I would suffocate.
"You should make that a new move to teach at Gallagher." I joked with my mom. She looked at me and smiled, relief flooded her face.
"Oh, Cammie. I thought I had lost you. I want you to know I love you so so very much." she said hugging me again.
"Mom?" I gasped out, I didn't want to ruin the Hallmark moment or anything it's just I needed air.
"What sweetie?" she asked squeezing tighter. I saw Solomon smile.
"Rachel, I think Cammie needs some air." he told her.
"Oh." mom said backing up. I laughed when I had oxygen back in my lungs.
"Are you okay? I was so worried, we couldn't find you anywhere Zach said you had been taken. We didn't know by who. And I'm just so sorry we hadn't gotten there sooner." Mom said before she burst into tears. I found myself comforting my mom. I didn't mean to upset her so much, not that it was really my fault she was upset.
"It's okay mom. I'm okay. We're all okay, except for maybe those guys." I said gesturing towards Hughie and Richy. She laughed, sniffed, and wiped her eyes before looking up.
"Yeah, I guess your right. I can't believe I got all emotional like that." she said. I wasn't used to seeing my calm and collected mom so worried before.
"It's okay." I told her. I would have felt the same way if it had been her taken.
"It's just it's that time of the month." she whispered in my ear. I nodded, I understood that perfectly. She hugged me and we started moving through the crowd. I looked behind me and extended my arm out to Zach who grabbed my hand. I wanted him near me. In the last five days I had no idea if I'd ever see him again and it worried me. Then my mind wandered back to my dad, where was he?
Did he just not want mom to know? That was a really stupid reason if that's why, I mean I got kidnapped by his enemies. We were going to the hospital, from where I broke through the window the glass was really bothering me. I had some pieces still stuck in me, but not many. Apparently I had to stay over night at the hospital. They fed me some food, that wasn't so good.
Macey snuck me some McDonald's and it was better than the hospital food. Zach stayed with me the whole night, the police wanted a statement, but my mom told them that she would take care of everything. I would rather have told the police what I knew, but now I'd have to tell my mom. That's what I found myself doing the night after I got out of the hospital. We were back at Grams and Gramps. We still hadn't heard or seen my Dad.
"So, Cammie what happened?" she asked while sitting on my bed, Zach was right next to me, holding my hand.
"Well, Zach, Macey, and I were in the back of the hotel talking. That's when the men in black came and attacked us. They pinned down Zach and Macey, threw me into the van. I was blind folded and my hands were tied. We drove for a while. Then they put me in a chair my hands chained behind my back. After I got a kick in, they tied my legs. They were going to chop off my finger and send it to Zach or…" I said trailing off not looking my mom in the eyes.
"Or who, Cammie?" she asked me again trying to make eye contact with me. I looked into her eyes and decided not to lie.
"Dad." I said not looking away. That's when something happened that I never would have predicted. My mom fainted, it reminded me of when Grams fainted. I rushed over to her and shook her. It didn't take her long to wake up.
"Why am I laying down?" she asked Zach and I. I hesitated, did she really want to know. I had told her once, might as well say it again.
"You fainted when I told you they wanted to send it to Dad." I told her saying every word really slowly. She looked at me, taking everything I had just said. She nodded slowly.
"They know where he is?" she asked me, her eyes like a child's. I nodded.
"Where?" she asked in a whisper. I looked away, but I had to tell her. Zach stayed silent the whole time, but he gave my hand a reassuring squeeze.
"He was staying at the Red River inn. I knew it was him, so did Zach and Macey. He didn't want us to say anything in case you had someone else in your life." I told her using my free hand to grab hers. Then she pulled me into a hug.
"That's why you were asking about Solomon." she stated looking at me sadly. Why was she sad, besides the obvious reasons?
A/N: What'd you think? Goode, bad? In between? Lol. So, she's sad. Yes, yet another twist, kind of. Lol. Well anyways, I would love to get more reviews! So, you know what to do now, review!
