A/N well, I'm updating again… yay! This story is beginning to run dry so I am going to sit down with it and sort it out. There should be about another 10 chapters before I finish it up. I am very sorry about the lack of updates, but my laptop thought that for a Christmas present for me, it would make word not work so I had to wait for ages for it to be fixed! Also, it has been my Summer holiday here in NZ so I haven't been home. On top of that, I have a girl from CA living with me as I am going to eureka, CA in march. And to finish it off, I begin year 12 in a week so I will be back in school and this is the year that universities look at to see if they want you so I have to do a lot of work! Wow, that was a long A/N. don't know if anyone read it, but I wanted to write it so there! Well, not going to keep you any longer, read and review…

Grace sat in the pathetic excuse for a hut. She had been here for 5 days now and still no contact with the outside world. She would give anything to see her family again. She hadn't seen Felix either. Her food and water supplies were beginning to run dangerously low. She had begun to ration out how much she could have a day, but she was still left with next to nothing. She had given up all hope when the telltale sign of the door being unlocked sounded and in came Felix and a mobile phone.

'Hello Grace' he sneered at her

'Felix' she said coldly

'I have been away for few days, finding a new place to put you. Hope you have been ok'

'Why do you care?'

'Well, as you said, I need you alive, don't I?'

'What do you want?' she said, getting tired of his games

'Call my boy. And you will tell him exactly what is written on this paper. Anything else and I will put a knife through your liver. A nice slow death for the pretty, delicate red head'

'Fine, give me the paper and the phone'

Felix did so and Grace dialled the number she knew by heart. Wayne picked up on the third ring

'Hello?' he said

'Wayne. It's Grace' she said, reading off the paper

'Grace! Where are you, who has you?' he yelled, alerting everyone around him

'I don't know where I am and the person who has me says hello, son' Grace said, on the verge of tears

'My father has you? Oh god Grace, I am so sorry'

'Your father wants you to come to him. He asks if you remember Weil lake'

She could hear Wayne swear under his breath

'He also says no cops' she swallowed hard as she read the next part 'Or he will kill me'

'I am so sorry Grace, I will be there soon, I love you'

'I love you too, I have to go he is going to get me, I love you Wayne!' she yelled, as Felix took the phone off her and threw it on the ground

'I said nothing other than what I said to say!'

'I'm sorry!' she said, as he took the knife out of his belt and held it to her skin

'Is he coming?' he said, as he pushed the blade against her hip

'Yes! Please don't hurt me!'

'Good' he said, pulling the knife away, but still leaving a small cut on her hip

Grace collapsed as he walked out the door, tears once again falling

Wayne slammed the door of the Van Pelt residence open, giving the occupants a scare

'Wayne? What's wrong?' Cassie asked

'Where is Teresa?' he demanded

'Up in her room with Patrick and Kimball, why?'

'I need to speak to them' he said, running up the stairs

He burst into Teresa and Grace's room, once again frightening the occupants

'He's got her' he said

'More detail to who 'he' is?' Teresa asked

'My father. God dammit, this is all my fault!' he said, pulling at his hair and hitting his head against the wall

'Wayne, it's not your fault, ok? This is your father's' Patrick said

'You don't understand Jane, this is my father we are talking about. He has killed before and he will kill again!' Wayne said, blowing up and yelling

'Wayne, sit down and get a hold of yourself! Don't yell at Patrick, that won't help anything. How do you know he has her?' Teresa scolded

Wayne complied

'She rang my cell phone. He has her up at Lake Weil. I went there as a kid once. He bet me that I couldn't swim to a hut across the lake so I did. That will be where he has her. I have to go get her!'

'We will get the cops to get her Wayne, you can't go'

'No, if the cops go, he will kill her! I'm going whether you like it or not! He wants me, so he can have me. you guys can come if you want, but I'm going and that's final!' he said fiercely

'Fine, we will go tomorrow morning' Teresa said 'But, I want you to give your phone to the cops to see if they can get a number or location, ok?'

'Fine' he said, stalking off

Grace woke up from the sleep she had managed to fall into by the door opening again. Felix stood in the door grinning

'Come on Grace. We are going on a little walk. Leave your stuff. I'm sure that they will find it' he said, taking Grace by the arm and pulling her away 'Make a sound, and I will kill you' he added

Grace complied and felt herself being pulled away in the dark

A/N cliffhanger! Aren't I mean! I just update again and I end with a cliffie! Well, maybe some reviews will help with my lack of updates. I blame my muse. Also, I am writing some NCIS fics as well a Castle one. When I get around to it, I will publish them. Reviews are nice. Peace out. Love Anna-Grace
