Julian picked up the phone when it started to ring. He thought that this would be the police again but was shocked to hear Kevin whisper into it. "Dad?", his voice was shivering and you could tell that he had cried. Everyone gasped and looked at Julian when he spoke back into the phone.

"Kevin. Where are you?", he turned on the speaker, so that everyone could hear him. Brooke and Sam were holding hands while Ben had his arm around Sam and Jim and Macy sat besides Julian.

"I don't know. It's…we are in a small room without windows and…and they took Phoebe.", Kevin sobbed "I…I tried to…but they…they…are so big." Suddenly Kevin's door opened and he hid the phone behind his back immediately. A big man came inside with Phoebe who looked like she had cried a lot and was in fear. The huge man took hold of her arm and started to scream while she looked fearfully up at him.

"The next time you act like this bitch I'm going to kill your brother. Do you understand me?", Phoebe looked at Kevin and then back at the man who started to scream even louder, "I asked you a question."

"Yes.", Phoebe whispered with a trembling voice. The man just nodded and left the room again. Kevin pulled Phoebe to the bed and gave her the phone.

"Mom?", Phoebe whispered into the phone. Everyone could feel how scared she was and had tears in their eyes. They felt so helpless and useless and wished that they could be with them now to protect them.

"Yes honey, it's us…we..", Brooke immediately got out of her trance. She knew she needed to be strong for the two kids.

"Mommy. I wanna go home.", Phoebe started to cry into the phone. Although she was used to getting hit because her biological father had hit her a lot, now she was only in fear and especially Lucky's death had broken her.

"I know honey. You two have to be very brave now and we try everything to get you back and…", suddenly uncle Jim interrupted her. He knew that there was no time for those words.

"Pumpkin. What do you see right now? Describe everything in detail."

Phoebe looked around and tried to talk through her sobs, "We are in what looks like a chamber and it has no windows. Outside are a woman and man and two kids and an older boy. He threw the phone into the room. It looks like a normal apartment but...there are coming men in here and…and I don't have anything to wear except of my underpants and it's cold.", Phoebe cried into the mobile and wished to be with her family.

"It's okay pumpkin. They will pay for that. Listen to me very carefully now. You have to listen to every word they are saying. Did they talk about an auction?"

Phoebe nodded, "Yes, there was a man that said that his son would…have fun with me and he…he kissed my cheek over and over again and they said that there will be an auction soon when my bruises are healed."

Uncle Jim went through his hair and everybody could see the sweat on his face. "What is this auction?", Phoebe asked with so much fear in her voice.

"Phoebe. I need you to be a brave girl now.", he heard her breaking down and it broke his heart to say it out loud, "You need to make them hurt you again. Do you understand me?"

"But…but they will hit us real hard Uncle Jim. They hit us a lot…I don't wanna be hit again. I want my mom and dad.", Phoebe cried into the phone and fell to the floor.

"I know honey. But it's very important that you are bruised right now. Remember what I told you. If they sell you, it's almost impossible to track you."

"But I don't want to be sold! The men scare me and…and… I am so scared, I want my mommy…", Phoebe started to cry real heavy and jumped up in fear when the door opened. The man saw her on the phone and immediately threw it to the ground. But it stayed on and they had to listen to every hit Phoebe received while Kevin screamed.

"Nooooo, leave her alone. Noooooo.", they heard his hysterical cries and could just imagine what the man was doing.

"Noooooo.", she screamed when he threw her on the bed and slapped her over and over again and kneed her into the stomach, "You bitch. You won't do that again."

Julian held Brooke as tight as possible when they listened to Phoebe's helpless screams,

Then they heard someone stopping him, "You idiot. Now we have to wait another while. She's even bleeding.", they went out of the room while Phoebe stayed on the bed with her head fallen down of it. She could not move an inch and cried heavily.

"Phoebe, Kevin. Pick up the phone.", Julian pleaded but all of them could only listen to her cries and how she whispered "Mommy"

"Please you have to safe us. Please.", Kevin cried into the phone and went over to Phoebe and then hid the phone behind him again when two men came inside and looked from Phoebe to him. He did not dare to say anything and just shivered.

"We have to get rid of that boy and how on earth can we sell her if she looks like this.", he pointed at Phoebe. "Gimme the phone boy."

Kevin hesitated but when they screamed again, he gave it to them.

"Okay here's the deal. One million for the kids.", the man said into the phone. Jim immediately answered to that.

"Where and when?", he knew that they were probably bluffing.

"What, really? You don't want the girl any more?", the man lied.

Phoebe and Kevin looked shocked at the phone and listened carefully. Jim knew what kind of game he was playing and hoped that the kids would not listen to him.

"Both kids. One million. Set a date.", Jim said coldly but he knew that the chances were low that they would not sell Phoebe to any man.

"Okay. So you only want the boy back. Your girl causes too much trouble. I understand.", the man answered while Brooke screamed from behind when they heard that he was talking to Phoebe. They knew that he was playing with Phoebe's mind and wanted her to believe that they gave up on her. "I am sorry girl. Your parents don't want you back. Obviously you're a troublemaker. But they want you boy."

Phoebe looked shocked at him while Kevin started to yell and put his arms around Phoebe "That's not true. You're lying and I won't go home without my sister."

"You really don't want the girl?", the man smiled into the phone and then looked at Kevin and Phoebe again, "I am sorry you two. They don't have that much money to pay for both of you and you boy, are the better child. So by Wednesday you'll be home again.", he shut down the phone and left the kids inside again.

"Phoebe. It is not true. They are lying.", Kevin said immediately but Phoebe just nodded while the tears streamed down her face and then lay down with her back towards him.

"I am not a good kid anyways.", she whispered.

"I won't leave you alone. I promise. I don't want to go home without you.", Kevin cried and slung his arms around her.

The next day Kevin had a good grip on Phoebe when the man came inside, "It's time to go home boy."

"No. I won't go.", he said back but the men just rolled their eyes and then managed to pull him outside. He screamed and kicked while Phoebe just hugged herself and did not say anything. "Nooooooooooooooooooooooo."

"We can't do that.", Sam screamed loudly at Julian some days later, "They can't pay for Kevin and let Phoebe there. It's like giving up on her."

"We are not giving up on anybody.", Julian said back and tried to stay calm.

"Yes we are. How do you think Phoebe will feel that only Kevin can come back home?", Sam's tears streamed down her face.

"Do you think I did not think of that? Of course I did but what can we do? They said they would kill Kevin. They…we…of course we want both of them…but…"

"You are giving up on her."

"How dare you say something like that? I am not giving up on anybody. She's my daughter and I will never give up on her.", Julian threw a plate onto the ground and everyone just stared at each other and could not believe how their family was falling apart.

Sam did not say anything but just left the room and walked into Phoebe's room and cried into the pillow. It still smelled like Phoebe and she remembered the time when they had sleepovers in this room.

Kevin had no clue where he was because he was blindfolded and handcuffed to a bench. It did not take long that he heard some other men coming closer to him and saving him. When he walked into the car with them he could not say a word. All he could think about was Phoebe and that he would never see her again. And then he had this major anger inside of him. He was angry that his family paid for him and not for Phoebe. Of course he knew that the kidnappers were lying but nevertheless he had this anger inside. They drove back home and when Sam, Ben, Julian and Brooke ran towards him and hugged him tightly and kissed his cheek he could not feel happy at all. He did not hug them back but just walked inside the house with them and then started to scream.

"Why did you do that?", he cried heavily. "Why did you pay for me and not for Phoebe? She…she…they will…"

"We wanted to Kevin but it was never an option.", it was hard for everyone. Of course they were happy that Kevin was back but it definitely felt like betraying and giving up on Phoebe although they definitely did not.

"But…", in this moment Kevin broke down and cried into his hands. This time he let Julian hug him and cried into his chest. It was too much for everyone.

Victoria Davis was never a woman that cried a lot or showed any emotions but the moment she had found out that her youngest daughter was kidnapped, she had cried like a waterfall but then her sorrow turned into anger and she got the best detective ever to find Phoebe. "Samantha.", she whispered when she saw Sam walking to the house. Sam turned around with sad eyes and then looked shocked at her grandma. Without thinking she ran into her arms and cried heavily. Victoria slung her arms around Sam and stroked her back but she had no clue what to say to her.

"You came?", Sam whispered softly.

"I am sorry it took me so long.", she remembered Sam's phone call at night. Sam had cried into the phone and said that everyone was only arguing and that she did not know what to do. Phoebe was missing for another three weeks now. Everything had changed. The police was still looking for her and Jim's men as well but they must have hidden her perfectly and they were not in the chamber any more that Kevin had described. It was as if they were one second too late.

Brooke did not speak more than a few sentences a day and was medicated heavily. It went through the news and every magazine that the sister of the fashion designer Brooke Davis was kidnapped. Julian on the other hand could not sleep a second and looked for evidences. And Kevin almost stayed in his room for every second or looked for comfort in Sam's arms.

Victoria and Sam walked into the house and she was shocked that Julian did not even realize that she was there. He was just walking around and talking to Jim and Macy to find new clues. "Where is my daughter?", Victoria asked and Sam pointed at Phoebe's room. Lately Brooke lay in Phoebe's bed all day long and at night. Everyone was in his or her own world and dealt with all of it differently. Victoria opened the door carefully. Of course she wanted to come back earlier but Brooke had forbidden her to do so and blamed her for a lot of things. She saw her daughter holding Phoebe's teddy bear tightly to her chest and looking into space.

"Brooklyn.", Victoria whispered and Brooke immediately stood up and looked at her mother.

"Get out. I already told you that you're not welcome in this house.", she said harshly.

"I don't care Brooke. Your pregnant daughter calls me in the middle of the night crying her eyes out and telling me that instead of holding together all you do is fighting and…"

"You don't belong to this family, so go."

"If you want it or not. I belong to this family. It's my daughter that is kidnapped and…"

"You never wanted her. She's not your daughter. It's not your daughter that is hurt and alone right now.", Brooke screamed and cried at Victoria.

"Okay, it's not about whose daughter she is right now. I know you well enough that you blame yourself and…"

"I left them alone. I…I….", Brooke cried into her hands and Victoria was relieved that she allowed her to sling her arms around her and rock her back and forth.

"Sam, could you please get Julian and Kevin inside?", Victoria asked and Sam nodded.

"Hello Kevin. I am Brooke's mother.", Victoria touched Kevin's shoulder. "Please sit down everyone."

"I know I was never the best mother or grandma or whatever but I can tell that my family is falling apart."

Julian wanted to say anything but Victoria forbid him to do so. "It is time to wake up now. You cannot blame each other for everything. Yes, it's true. Sam, if you weren't pregnant Brooke would not have gone to the doctor with you and leave the children alone. If you hadn't a meeting Brooke would not have to leave them alone. If you were bigger you could've fight more and so on. If you need someone to blame then blame me. If I had not given my daughter away to this neighborhood then nothing of this would have happened.", Victoria took a deep breath and then continued, "but blaming each other won't help anyone. It's time that we think of Phoebe. I know we do every second but we have to think how she'll feel when she comes back and all of us are fighting. She's the one that is alone out there now and has no one that cares for her and I want her to have a warm home again when she comes back."

"You don't know if she comes back. You don't know that.", Kevin screamed at Victoria and wanted to leave the room but Victoria blocked it.

"I know I can't assure that but I have the best detectives ever out there and they have a clue where she might be.", everyone suddenly had a little sparkle in their eyes. "So I want all of you to believe that she'll be back soon and until then we do everything to make this family work. Do you understand me?", Victoria looked at each one and all of them nodded.

Sam was the first one that fell into Brooke's arms and cried while Julian slung his arms around them. Only Kevin looked at them and then left the room. He was not ready for all of this and he was the only one that knew exactly how they had treated his little sister.

"Dad.", Ben screamed five weeks after her missing and ran to Jim, "She's in there."

Jim immediately ran to the computer and looked at the page. "Oh my god. In two days."

Two days earlier:

Every day some men came into her room and just watched Phoebe up and down. Phoebe hated it and felt like an animal in the zoo. They stopped hitting her but told her that she was too fat and gave her less food. Of course she was not fat at all. She missed Brooke's food. Although she had hated it, she missed it now and she could not do anything in the room. She missed the sunlight and the heaven. She did not know whether she would see it some day again. And when she thought of Lucky, she cried every time.

Two women came into the room and looked down at Phoebe, "That's her?", the man in the back nodded and pulled Phoebe outside into another room. Phoebe had stopped to protest, she could not fight any more and just hugged herself. He locked the door and left the two women with Phoebe in the room. Phoebe looked scared up at them. Although she was glad that they were women, they did not really seem nice.

"Get undressed.", one of the women said coldly. Phoebe looked shocked up at them. She was wearing a long shirt and only her underpants.

"Now.", the woman screamed and made Phoebe jump up in fear.

"I don't want to.", Phoebe whispered with fear in her voice but one woman just looked down at her and screamed at her again and pulled up her shirt and down her pants.

Phoebe was so embarrassed to stand naked in front of them and hugged herself tightly and cried.

They measured her size and her legs and everything else and made photos of her body. Finally they took some sexy clothes for her and told her to wear that. The next woman made photos of her and showed her how to look after she had painted her face.

"Don't look so sad girl.", the woman laughed at Phoebe who was forced to smile.

When Phoebe was done with the photo shoot, she lay down on the bed and started to suck her thumb. It was the only way to calm down a little bit. And since there was nobody else to calm her down, she needed to do it by herself. All her hope was gone and she just stared into nothing and wondered what her family was doing at the moment.

"We got her.", Jim said to Ben and they went out of the house immediately and jumped into their car and called every men possible. They did not tell anything to the police because they knew that there was a greater chance of getting her without them. Many cars made their way to a small town in the south.

Meanwhile Phoebe stood in the middle of a room, only dressed in sexy underpants and with a lot of make-up on her face. Men were around her and watched her intense and raised their hands for another bid. She felt alone and very small. She did not hear how much the winner paid for her but a man with a mustache came to her and looked down with a grin.

"You can kiss her now."

He kissed her in front of everyone on the mouth and the others clapped. "The room is upstairs."

He took Phoebe into his arms and carried her into the room. She did not have the strength to protest any more and just closed her eyes. He closed the door behind them and looked down at Phoebe had no tears left any more but shivered and walked into a corner. The man went down to her and wanted to whisper into her ears but she looked shocked up at him and shivered and took a step backwards, "Please don't.", she pleaded.

He felt pity with this small girl and whispered into her ear. Phoebe looked shocked at him and went over to the bed and lay down. He took out his knife and cut into his own calf and let the blood drip onto the sheet. A man came inside and looked at the blood in the bed and clapped his hands. "She's yours now."

Suddenly they heard guns shooting downstairs. The man from the door immediately ran downstairs while Phoebe jumped up in shock. The other man that had told her that he was named Brian, took his arms protectively around her and took out his gun.
"Climb down.", he said to Phoebe and they climb out of the window and got into his car and drove away.

"It's okay kiddo. You are free now.", Brian went through Phoebe's hair and drove further. Phoebe wiped her tears and nodded. Free. She could not believe it but did not really trust the man besides her.

Ben walked over the dead men and ran upstairs. He fell to his knees when he saw the blood on the sheet and cried into his hands. "It's too late." Jim did not say anything but looked shocked at the bed. It was the second time in his life that tears streamed down of his eyes as well. He helped his son up and they drove back and tried to look for Phoebe but they did not find her. Not in the house not somewhere else.

When they came back to Tree Hill, Ben fell into Sam's arms and cried heavily, "She's sold.", he whispered and both of them fell to the ground. Brooke and Julian cried in each other's arms as well. It was too much for everyone. To know that Phoebe had been raped and was now somewhere out there and experienced the worst. Everything had been so great and now everything was the worst possible.

"Nooooooooooo.", Sam screamed. She could not believe that her baby sister was gone forever. "She's not a bad person. She does not deserve this. She…", suddenly she felt a sharp pain in her stomach and held it tightly. The pain got even more intense until she passed out from it.

Meanwhile Victoria Davis got a phone call while she was outside for a walk. She fell to her knees and cried into her hands when she heard about the news. "I can't do that. I…"

"I am sorry Mrs. Davis but you have to do it.", the one on the phone said to her.
