Hey everyone, this is me and Amy Louise's first chapter together, hope you like it:

Samantha Hunter sat in the briefing room at Sunhill with her head in her hands. Her eyes were sore and bloodshot, it had been 12 hours now since the disappearance of her daughter Emily. Phil sat at the other side of the room silent. Every word being spoken of the briefing slowly entered his head. He couldn't take much more and found himself leaving the room and heading for the coffee machine downstairs. A thought sprang to his mind of what had happened just a few hours previously as he ran his hand over the fresh purple bruise on his eye.

"Phil where is she?, what have you done" Sam screamed into his face, it was the first time in her life, she had ever hated him. She would kill Phil literally if she found out that he was into anything dodgy and God help him if anything happened to Emily, her baby. Sobbing into his arms, horrible images and thoughts ran through her mind, she couldn't, she wouldn't allow herself to think that. One thing boiled into her brain more than anything else. Anger! " baby, we'll get her back, I promise" Phil's soft hands wrapped into her making one of his infamous promises and before Sam could stop herself, she threw a punch into his face and Phil fell back onto Emily's bed, blood pouring from his nose.

He wouldn't fight her on this, not while she was in the mood she was in. It was understandable, had he caused this. Was Zain in fact behind Emily's disappearance, if so what had Phil done to deserve it or did this come to the fact that Phil was settled with a wife and child while the love of his life Kirsten Shaw was dead. Running cold water onto his eye, Phil saw Sam call DCI Meadows as she cried into the phone about Emily. He watched the blood trickle down the sink, he swore blind there and then to kill Zain Nadir if he had so much as harmed one hair on his precious daughter's head.

"I'm sorry Phil" Sam said softly, appearing at the bathroom door with tears in her eyes " Jack wants us to come to the station. They want a briefing asap", seeing his wife so distressed nearly killed Phil " I love you Sam, I'll kill him if he's touched her" Phil replied tenderly kissing Sam's forehead and holding it delicately.

"Right everyone…" Jack Meadows said slightly louder to grab everyone's attention as he had called an emergency briefing. The lights were low so the interactive board could be used and seen as he spoke. The dim lights however did not help the way the Hunters were feeling. "Some of you may recognise DI Hunter's daughter Emily…" Using the special pen to activate the board, the picture of Emily came on screen.

She was smiling and as Sam looked to the picture, her eyes filled up again. So much had been going on and now this, all she wanted was her baby girl home and safe. Sam had forgotten everything that Emily had put them through. None of that mattered at the minute, Emily's picture had now been put onto a missing poster which uniform could use for the door to doors etc. Seeing her daughter's face on this poster broke her heart, she had worked on a lot of missing child cases and Sam knew how most of them ended up.

"Emily Hunter, fourteen, blonde and five foot one. She went missing from Sam and Phil's home twelve hours ago. She has no previous record and isn't in any trouble." Jack continued.

Jack used the pen to move onto the next slide for the briefing. It was a display of the emails and letters that Phil had been receiving. "These are the e-mails and letters that Phil has been receiving and as you can tell from the language its threatening. Now whoever emailed Phil must have known his email address and as you all know you MET email accounts are for police officer use only."

A lump formed in Sam's throat and she found it hard to believe what was going on. The briefing continued and It was as if neither Sam nor Phil were listening they were scared, the anxiety had taken over. Phil maintained his tough guy act the whole time during the briefing as if it were a mask, he couldn't let his guard down, even if it was his own child missing. Their D.C.I concluded the briefing…

"So her picture is being circulated as we speak, uniform are on door to door and asking around. Now I need all of you guys to listen to what uniform have got and piece together a timeline of Emily's whereabouts. We will find her, so let's do this…"

"We will find her" Oh my God will we and what if she's not alive. Oh for Christ's sakes Sam pull yourself together! The words rang round Sam's head like a bad smell, she needed to catch a grip, be professional and find her daughter.

C.I.D got on to the investigation and left the room, Sam sat there looking at the picture of her daughter on the wall, praying she was safe.

Meanwhile, Honey and Gary where circulating the area the area with the picture of Emily they had on the missing posters.

"Excuse me Madam, have you seen this girl?" asked Gary

"Errrrrrrr, no I haven't sorry" the citizen replied.

"Well if you do please give me a ring on that number" Gary replied handing over a card with the details and walked back over to Honey.

"Anything?" he asked her

"No" she replied with a sigh.

"Well listen your gonna love this, CAD have just radioed through and said that they is no CCTV that we can use that's on the street that Sam and Phil live down and none in the streets surrounding them"

"Great, well we better get on then" Honey said desperately hoping they could find some sort of lead for their D.I.

HALF AN HOUR LATER….

"Any response?" Honey asked Gary as she crossed the road with her clipboard in hand.

"Nah I reckon its a lot of fuss about nothing" he replied.

"You reckon?" Honey said hesitantly.

"Yeah, I mean come on how many mothers and daughters have fallen out with their parents, gone all moody and done a runner, she'll be back when she needs money or something…come on lets try the next road"

Elsewhere,

Emily Hunter lay unconscious in a dark musty cellar, when she finally came too, a lot of thoughts were running round her head. She tried to stand up, when she did, she found she was handcuffed to a radiator, she felt blood trickling down her head. Emily's head was cut, though it wasn't deep and despite her bad girl act, she was really frightened.

"Where am I?, Mum, Dad" she cried out and when she realised that no-one would answer. She let out a bloodcurdling scream and slid down the radiator before breaking into distressing tears and laying on the dirty floor. As she contemplated ways to escape, she was interrupted by a tall stranger. Emily recognised the face but couldn't understand anything that was happening. Had he done this to her and for what reason. The stranger moved closer before uttering a few words " Hello Emily".
