Disclaimer: I do not own Gilmore Girls, unfortunately.

Recap: "Tomorrow morning when the boy goes for a run we're going to snatch her," the eye patch man growled.

"Alright! I mean, sir yes sir! Why are we doing this again, sir?" the nervous man in the passenger seat asked.

"Troy, if you ask me that one more time I'll kill you just like I killed Gabe! The Gilmores won't have their precious niece again," the eye patch guy said and laughed menacingly.

Chapter 9: Hello Beautiful

Rory woke up and felt Tristan's side cold. She knew he went for a run but Rory thought he wouldn't go anywhere with these guys following them. Rory took a shower and got into sweats. She wanted to be in loose clothing so she could retaliate if the need arised. Rory got her coffee and sat on the porch overlooking the ocean. Everything was serene and beautiful.

Rory saw Tristan out in the distance and smiled. Tristan had called the cops but they couldn't do anything until the guys actually did something. So Tristan called the FBI since he had a friend there. They had come right away to put a tracker on both of them so they knew where they were. Rory thought it was reasonable and felt calmer.

There was a footstep behind her and Rory whipped around. The eye patch guy was right behind her.

The eye patch guy smiled and said, "Hello Beautiful."

Before she knew what was happening, someone was behind her holding a cloth over her face. Rory tried not to breathe because she knew what it was. The eye patch guy was feeling her up trying to find something when he found the tracker. Her eyes widened, her mug crashed, and she was met with darkness.

"Rory?" Tristan yelled again.

Rory was nowhere in sight and the car was still out there. He went to the deck and saw the chair on its side and white pieces of a mug. Tristan panicked and ran to the phone.

"She's gone!" Tristan yelled over and over again.

"Calm down Tristan. Tell me what happened."

"Rory, she's gone. I came back from my run and found the house empty. When I went to the deck, chair was tipped over and a mug shattered," Tristan explained to his friend.

"Ok, well we found her tracker and she's on Waltham Road in Massachusetts. I'm getting a squad to go over there right now. You stay put and I'll call you when we get any information."

"Ok," Tristan said and hung up.

Tristan didn't know what to do. His one true love was gone. He was beyond sad, he was depressed. Before he knew it, he was on the ground crying.

"Man that was an ingenious idea! When you grabbed that bird and put that tracker on it. Unbelievable," Troy said.

"I get it T, now well you please shut up? Just for five minutes."

"Right sorry Levi," Troy said and then realized his mistake.

The car screeched to a stop and Levi backhanded Troy. Levi was seething mad at his idiotic friend. Levi couldn't believe how stupid Troy could be sometimes.

"Don't call me that again," Levi said and started the car again.

They drove until they reached a low-key neighborhood. The houses weren't big or lavishly painted. They pulled into a driveway that had a one-floor house; at least that is what it looked like from the outside. Levi picked up Rory's legs while Troy picked up her arms. They passed all the rooms and went into a small office room. They set down Rory so Levi could go to the desk and push a button. Once the button was hit, the wall parted. They brought Rory down and threw her across the room. She hit the metal desk and you could hear a crack. Troy snickered and followed Levi upstairs.

Rory woke up to loud music and a pain near her chest. She brought her hand up to her chest and felt something sticking out. Somehow she had broken a rib. Rory scooted to a pole close by and leaned against it. The coldness felt good on her back and she relaxed a bit. She realized what song was playing and figured that her captors were throwing a party. Probably because they had gotten me, Rory thought.

Rory knew that she wouldn't be there for long since the FBI had placed a tracker on her, so they knew where she was. Rory had put it on the inside of her bra. She took her hands and made sure it was still there. Rory's hands just felt fabric and she started to panic.

She looked around her surroundings and saw that she was in a dark windowless basement. That was not a good sign since Rory would be unable to escape. Her feet were tied so she couldn't get up. Rory realized that they had tied her hands in the front so she untied the rope around her ankles and then tried her wrists. Rory managed to get some wiggle room so she looked in the desk for something to aid her. Rory found scissors and cut the ropes off.

Rory found some stairs but no door. Rory felt the wall and didn't find anything. Rory panicked and started pounding on the wall. Rory hoped that someone was in the other room and that the music wasn't too loud.

"Help! Please, help me!"

Rory's wails were met with blaring music. Rory sagged against the wall and sobbed. She knew that she would be there for a long time. All hope was lost.

AN: Sorry it's so short and it took awhile to get up. Being stage manager is very time consuming. Anyway, it would lift my spirits if you would comment. I want to see if I can get at least five or ten reviews before I post the other chapter up! So press that button!
