Sorry for the short chapter! I will try and make the rest of the chapters longer than this.

Chapter Two

Belles entire body started to shake so badly the very second she heard his voice. She had never heard it before but she knew right away it was him. He had such a chilling voice, one that sent chills down her spine. Bo and Hope had gone out to try and cool off outside for a minute, leaving her alone in the house. She had been sitting down alone on the couch when she suddenly heard the phone ring. She had been afraid to answer it but she immediately did anyway.

She took a deep breath, before she spoke to him, "Larry Welch."

"So how is the lovely girlfriend doing today?" Larry teased, He then laughed, "Everything all bright and cheery?"

"Where is Shawn? What in the hell did you do to him?" Belle demanded. She ignored the way Larry was teasing her as he spoke. She could feel anger rushing through her.

"He is sitting right next to me," Larry told her, his voice was rather deep sounding, "I'm holding a knife to his chest, just waiting to slice it. So you better do as you are told if you want your boyfriend here to live."

Belle froze in fear. She couldn't stand to picture Shawn in that type of situation. She shut her eyes, and opened them as soon as she heard the door suddenly burst open. She looked up and she saw Bo and Hope rush in the house very fast, their eyes wide. They were looking at her and both of them raced madly to her. They were by her side in a second.

Bo immediately grabbed the phone from Belle, his eyes were extremely bright with total anger, "Your supposed to be dead you bastard."

"Ah. But I am not. Lucky you! However I can guarantee you, if you don't do as I say, your son will be dead Bo Brady. And believe me; I'll make sure he is dead."

"What have you done with MY son?" Bo demanded to know, he was speaking with anger in his voice, "I need proof that he's alive and breathing. You better give that to me, Welch. I want to speak to him, NOW!"

Bo suddenly could feel Hope clutching onto his arm, and Bo quickly moved the phone between them so that they could both hear what Larry was saying. Belle was on the other side of Bo, and he let her listen to it as well.

They were all waiting impatiently, till a trembling Shawn spoke, "Dad?"

Bo couldn't help but let out a huge sigh of a relief. He gazed over at his wife and then Belle quickly, "Oh thank God! Shawn, are you ok?"

"I'm alive dad," Shawn answered. His voice was rather dry as he spoke.

"Shawn! Shawn sweetie!" Hope screamed into the phone, she then grabbed it from Bo, "Sweetie, we are going to get you away from Larry- oh well will. You just hang in their! We will find you Shawn! We won't let Welch win!"

"I don't know Mom," She heard Shawn say to her, she could then hear her son tremble a little, "He- he has a knife against me and swears he will use it if you don't do what your told- he is crazy mom! He is-" he was suddenly interrupted by Larry pulling the phone away from him.

"Well if it isn't my sweet and lovely Hope," Hope was still on the phone, her face was very white as she heard Larry speak to her, "I've missed you like crazy, darling."

"You bastard-" Hope somehow found the nerve to speak up to him, her anger was rising as she spoke to him, "You let go of my son, NOW! If you want your revenge, please just take it out on me, and NOT him! He is completely innocent here and my baby doesn't deserve this! Let my baby go! Please just let him go! Give him back to us, PLEASE! Please don't hurt my baby! "

Bo grabbed the phone from Hope, and angrily spoke to Larry, "Listen Welch! You better give us our son back! You better not harm him. I want him back in one piece. I want MY son back, Larry!"

"I will only do that on one condition," Larry darkly spoke, "I will give you back your son. But I need something back in return in order to let your wonderful son go. And that is Hope. I will give you your son back to you only if you give me Hope back. That is the only way you will get your precious son back."

Bo was incredibly furious, "I will not let you get anywhere near Hope you bastard. No way in hell will I let you anywhere near my wife!"

"Oh but you'd better rethink that," Larry warned him, "Because if you don't follow my orders that I just gave you and give me what I want, here is a little preview of what will happen to your son." Suddenly, they heard three loud bangs in a row, followed by a shrilling scream coming from Shawn.

The sound of Shawn's scream made Belle jump up in total fright; she could feel her heart pounding wildly against her chest. She gazed over at Bo and Hope with fear in her eyes. Bo immediately pulled Hope tightly against him and tried to comfort her. They were both shaking with fear however. The gunshots and his sons scream that followed after it made Bo's entire body start to tremble.

And then, they all three heard the sound of the phone click off.
