Santana was once again sitting alone in her cell. She was waiting for her once daily meal to come, which wasn't really a meal. It was usually a half a sandwich, some stale pretzels and an apple. She was also given two bottles of water a day, which was barely enough. She was thankful though that her cell stayed cool and was not blazing hot like the surrounding desert. She heard footsteps outside her cell and the door burst open, today Alex was bringing her food which was just what she guessed it was. He set it down in front of her and instead of leaving like he normally did he stayed around and started speaking.
"Finn came home today, his wife through a homecoming party for him. Your wife was there, so were your kids." Alex said.
"Why the hell are you doing this?" Santana asked weakly.
"Because its fun! Oh and I have a present for you." he said slyly and dropped a picture in to her lap. She looked at it in horror.
"What the hell did you do to him!" she screamed and tried to stand up so she could go all Lima Heights.
"Finn didn't listen, this is what happens." he said and left the room.
Santana looked down at the picture again and felt tears forming in her eyes. The picture showed Mike, but in the picture Mike was tied to a chair and he had a cut on each cheek that was bleeding. He looked absolutely terrified.
It had been a while, Santana wasn't sure she had absolutely no concept of time in her cell. It was concrete and the only light came from the flickering light bulb that hung over the door frame. She got meals, but they showed no distinct qualities that would give her some insight as to what meal was being served and therefore what time of day. She thought it must have been a few days at least since she had been given the terrible photo of her son by Alex. She had looked at the picture so many times and each time the terrified look in his ice blue eyes chilled her to the bone and sent shivers down her spine. She had never seen such an expression on Mike's face, and it looked so out of place, that it scared her almost as much as the situation he was in.
Santana couldn't help but think of what Brittany must be going through back home. She was probably even more heartbroken than she had been, she was now missing her wife and one of her sons. Santana wanted nothing more than to be with her and make everything right again, but it was too late for that.

When Brittany had sent Mike to the car to get her phone she had never expected what would happen, who would? When Mike didn't return within a few minutes she began to get worried and asked Mike and Puck to walk outside with her and check to make sure that he was alright. When they had walked all the way to the car and not found Mike they had all started to get worried. Once they reached the car and found the drivers door ajar Brittany ran forward and was the first to notice what was sitting on the drivers seat. It was a note that simply read;
Finn Hudson shouldn't have told, now you must pay the consequences of his actions...
Brittany gasped in horror and almost fell over but was caught by Mike. Puck sprinted back to the house to get a phone to call the police and to tell everyone what had happened and ask Finn about the note. They had called the police who had opened an investigation but nothing had come of it. It had now been four days since Mike had been kidnapped and they hadn't heard anything from the police.
Finn never let Brittany out of his sight for more than a few hours or when he went home to sleep and he made sure that when he did leave that Shay was there to stay with her mother. Brittany was doing as could be expected for a woman whose wife was being held prisoner in Afghanistan for unknown reasons and whose son had been taken presumably to torture Santana further. Brittany was sitting on the couch mindlessly watching an episode of Grey's Anatomy when her daughter sat down next to her and wordlessly took her hand and squeezed it. Brittany squeezed back and pulled her daughter into her arms so that Shay's head was resting on her mothers shoulder and Brittany's arms were around her daughter like a protective shield.
"I just finished Chamber of Secrets with Tony and he is asleep now." Shay said after a minute. Since Mike and Santana were now both gone, Shay had taken over the role of Harry Potter narrator.
"You finished that one already? Jeez your fast." Brittany said smiling slightly at her daughter.
After a moment where neither of them said anything Shay spoke up once again. "Mom, do you wanna talk about it? We haven't really talked about things since Mami left and now with Mikey, I know she's your wife and he's your son but she is my Mami and he is my twin brother. I get it Mom, I really do, you can talk to me if you want."
"Baby, I know I can talk to you, and I know that this is hard for you too, I know. I'm no good at dealing with stuff like this, the only one who knows how to get me to deal with this type of pain is the one who is causing it." Brittany said.
"Mom, I can try." Shay said, a look of hurt crossing her face.
"Oh, Shay , I didn't mean to upset you, its just I miss your Mami so much, I was never apart from her for long my entire life. And Mikey, it kills me that he is out there hurt somewhere scared and alone. I just don't know how to express that and tell people, I don't want to seem weak." she said sadly.
"You just did it Mom, you just opened up." Shay said with a small smile.
"Your right I did, you're good Shay." Brittany said and she kissed her daughter on the top of her head. "Now, lets watch this Grey's Anatomy marathon and watch other people deal with their problems to get our minds off of ours."
"Okay." Shay giggled, a giggle that felt like the first one in months.

"Santana!" Alex said as he burst into the room. Santana groaned, it was never good news when he entered the room with that smug look on his face.
"What the hell did you do now? How can you keep tearing apart my family like this?" She asked getting seriously pissed off, the anger was filling her up like helium filling up a balloon, just waiting to pop.
"As I have told you before Santana, I have my reasons, I have my reasons." he said quietly.
Santana was about to get up and wipe the smug look of his face when he said something that stopped her.
"I wouldn't do that, unless you don't want your phone call to you dear son Michael." he stated and laughed at the expression on Santana's face. He pulled an expensive looking sat phone out of his pocket and dialed a number and said some things in an unknown language to whoever was on the other line. "Michael would like to speak with you." he said and thrust the phone at her.
"Michael!" Santana cried into the phone, praying that it was really him on the line and not some terrible hoax to torture her further.
"Mami! Is that really you?" came Mike's panic stricken voice on the other end.
"Its really me baby! How are you, are you hurt badly, are you okay?" she asked, she was crying now.
"Estoy bien, Madre, estoy bien." he said, he sounded as if he were trying hard to fight off tears.
"Oh Mikey, I know you are in a bad place right now, but you have no idea how good it is to hear your voice." Santana said truthfully, she had never been happier to talk with her son.
"I'm going to be fine Mami, don't worry about me." he said, still being the strong and stubborn boy that he had always been.
"How was Mom holding up before you were you know taken? Shay? Tony?" Santana asked, she was desperate for information on what was going on with her family.
"Shay and Tony were doing well considering everything. They definitely bonded more with each other. I was reading Harry Potter to Tony, we finished Sorcerers Stone and got close to the end of Chamber of Secrets, I assume Shay will have finished it with him by now. Mom was well, Mom. She was really mad at Uncle Finn for a while, and she was really upset, like really really upset, I have never seen her like that before. It was awful we didn't know what to do. Grandma, Grandpa, Abuelo and Abuela were really upset to. But mom told us all about how you two were together since you were three, she must have told us your entire story at least twenty times, but let me say it never gets old." Mike said, clearly trying to lighten the mood and add a joke to the information that he was giving Santana about her Brittany.
"It is quite a good story isn't it baby." Santana said smiling through her tears.
"I love you Mami, I really miss you." Mike said.
"I love you too baby boy." she said. Before she could get a response from her son she heard a loud noise on the other line, she cringed because she knew the sound well. It was a gunshot.
"Michael!" she screamed into the phone but she got no response from her son.
"So sorry but Michael is dead." a voice said on the other line.
Santana fell to her knees, sobs wracking her body.

"What the fuck! I am not dead! You just shot the fucking ground! What is your problem?" Mike yelled at the man who had just told his mother that he was dead and then hung up on her.
"Oh, its all part of the plan." the man said with a laugh. "But look on the bright side, you get to return to your Mom, brother and sister now!"
The man walked forward and tied a blindfold around Mike's eyes so he couldn't see. He felt himself being moved to a car. After about an hour and a half he felt the car slowing and he was pushed out the side and he heard the sound of squealing tires. He quickly took of the blindfold and saw that he was in front of his house. He quickly got to his feet, which was not easy, he was in a great deal of pain, and walked as fast as he could to the front door. He flung it open and staggered inside.
"MOM! SHAY! TONY!" he called out and his mother and sister came flying into the hallway. Brittany squealed and burst into tears and pulled him into a crushing hug, soon Shay joined in. Mike was crying but not entirely for the same reasons as his mother and sister.
"She thinks I'm dead, they told her I'm dead." he choked out.
"Who thinks your dead baby?" Brittany asked.
"Mami."
