"We found his car" the leading investigator told Don who looked up from the floor and Mark and Jess stood up from the sofa where the woman had been assuring the young man that everything would be okay.

"It was just on the sidewalk...no sign of life...and the mileage is low...but they're not there" he told Don and Mark looked at Detective Flack and then back to Detective Morgan and he shook his head.

"You're joking" he spat "he abandoned his car?"

"We're searching the records for anyone who has had their car stolen...but...this is a big city Detective Flack" he narrowed his eyes, trying to get the man to understand what he was meaning "but we've alerted all public transport in case he is using them to take your daughter some place...there is nothing more we can do now"

"So you're just going to leave?" Mark was the one to snap this time "what do we do now then?"

"Like I have said before" Detective Morgan spoke "we have alerted everyone and we have officers on the lookout for them...but there is no evidence here"

"So we're just supposed to sit and wait?" Jess asked and Detective Morgan began to sigh;

"I'm afraid that is the only thing which you can do" he said "I'll keep in touch" and with a bow of his head he left the three of them to their own thoughts. Mark began to shake and he sat down for a moment, burying his head into his hands;

"I can't just sit here" he said "it's not right"

"They're looking for her Mark" Jess said "you can't drive around aimlessly"

"Yes I can" he said "I can take a photo of her and ask in places...surely if he is travelling...he'll need to stop...they need a break" Mark said "I'll search quiet hotels and motels and then go to the train stations and airports...anything but sitting here"

"Mark" Don called out, watching the teen moving over to the front door, checking his phone and making sure he had a picture of Hannah to show people.

"I'm coming with you" Don said, putting his coat on whilst Jess simply looked at Don, realising he wasn't going to listen to her protests.

"I'll come too" Jess said and Don simply shook his head;

"No" he said "get someone to come over her and stay with you...in case Hannah manages to come back"

"Don..." Jess complained and Don placed both his hands onto her cheeks and he shook his head;

"I can't sit here and do nothing" he said "not whilst Hannah's out there with him"

...

"Daniel" Hannah sobbed "Please" she said as he walked back into the room, tossing his phone in his hands as he looked at her.

"What?" he snapped. Hannah couldn't help but think it was scary how he could turn his emotions on her so easily. She was freaked out and there was no denying it.

"Just call my dad...let him know that I'm okay" Hannah begged "he'll be worried"

"Won't he just" Mark whispered and he shook his head, looking at his phone "I was thinking of phoning him"

"But you'd do it to torture him" Hannah cried "please...just let me do it..."

"You know where we are" he said "and I don't need that" he said and pressed the phone to his ear and heard the ringing. Don finally plucked up the nerve to answer it as Mark drove, his hand shaking.

"Detective Flack" his smug voice spoke "how good to speak to you"

"Where is she?" Don snapped, Mark looking at him, worrying.

"She's safe...I won't hurt her" Daniel promised

"I need proof" Don said "I want to hear her voice"

"Afraid no can do" Daniel yawned "she may tell you where we are"

"Dad!" Hannah yelled "I'm fine! We're in a motel!"

Don managed to hear what she had said and then he heard a slap sound. His heart began to race and he turned red;

"What did you do?" Don roared, hearing the slamming of doors. Daniel had locked Hannah back in the motel room as he stood outside.

"Don't worry Detective Flack" Daniel chuckled "she will be quiet now...but I have to go...you know where we are so I have to move your daughter someplace else"

"No!" Don snapped "No! You can't!"

"I can" Daniel replied "and I will. I'll be in contact later"

"No!" Don yelled down the phone, but it was too late once again.
