Mara POV
Do you know how hard it is to be wanted by the police? I had to get a disguse just to get into the hospital. I was in scrubs so they just let me in. I scanned through all the babies. There were two Lewis's. I scanned them both. Both girls. I just grabbed the one who looked most like Amber. She looked stupid. I took her out of the nursery. Someone looked at me.
"I need to take her to her parents." I lied. They nodded and passed. I ran into the bathroom. I placed her in a duffel bag full of scarves. The scarves are to muffel out the screams/cries. She was still asleep though. I zipped up the bag leaving a small corner open. I put the duffel bag into the air vent and then crawled through. She woke up obviously because I heard faint crying. I crawled until I saw outside. I opened the latch and got out with the baby. She kept crying. I ran to Jerome's car. I placed the baby in my lap after I slammed the door. She took in the surroundings and cried harder. Jerome rolled his eyes and drove away.
It was a long car ride until we got to a hotel. I took off the scrubs and just put my hair under a hat. Jerome's paying to hide me there. He wanted to get back at the girls just as much as I did. I slipped on sunglasses and placed the little girl on my hip. Jerome and I walked in. He gave me a room key and we went up. It was a nice hotel. Jerome tried to say I should go to some cheap place to be unnoticed. I looked at him and asked if I looked cheap. So he brought me here. I flopped back on the couch. I sat the baby down. She was face first on the couch and couldn't move. She started crying. I slapped her back. She went limp and kept crying.
"Shut up." I said.
"It's a baby Mars. It's gonna cry. Now I have to go. My parents are bugging me." Jerome said. I gave him a kiss then he left. I picked up the baby. A rich baby. She's barely been alive and is already one of the most valuable people.
"Hello my little ransom note." I said shaking her. She stared at me with teary eyes.
"Your Daddy and Uncle are going to steal so much money to get you back. And theirs nothing you can do about it." I said.
Amber POV
My baby girl. I started crying and pulled my knees to my chest. Well as much as I could. Everyone basically froze.
"What do you mean?" Alfie demanded at the nurse.
"She is no where to be found." She said.
"Alfie-e-e-e-e-e! Tell me the lady is lying!" I cried. He came over to me and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"I wish I could Ambs." He said. I put my head into his chest. Alfie kept a firm grip on me. I heard the door open. I looked. Mum and Daddy. They looked sad.
"You heard?" I asked. They solemly nodded.
"We'll get her back Amber." Mum promised patting my feet. She was really sad. I think her depression is coming back.
"I'll do as many efforts as I can baby girl." Daddy said. I nodded. Alfie wiped my tears away. It didn't last for long. Tears continued to stream.
"Could you leave Amber and I for a second?" He asked.
"Sure." Mum said. Everyone left Alfie and I. He cupped my face in his hands.
"Ambs, I need you to relax for me. I need you to calm down and just relax. I will get her back at all cost. Our little Rosy will be ours again." He said.
"Her names Rosy?" I sniffled.
"Well Rosalyn. But do you promise me not to fall into a depression?" He asked.
"I'll try." I sniffled. He kissed my head and laid me back.
"Don't hurt yourself." He said brushing my hair out of my face. I nodded. He left me alone in the room.
I'm not sitting back and letting this happen.
Alfie POV
It took all in me not to scream at everyone in the hospital. I just breathed and tensly paced back and forth.
"Alfie, calm down." Eddie said. I looked up at him.
"My girl is missing. Not yours. She hasn't been here an hour and has been taken away from me! She hasn't even eaten yet!" I exclaimed.
"Alfie, you have to calm down." He said.
"You calm down! I am not calming down! I need to go!" I yelled then stormed away. Someone caught my arm.
"Not now Eddie." I growled.
"Not Eddie." A tense voice said. I turned. Mr. Rutter.
"Listen, I'm just as mad as you but your behaviour will reflect onto Amber." He said.
"I can't pretend to be anything." I said.
"Well then make yourself relaxed." He said.
"I'm sorry sir but I just can't." I said then took his hand off me. I left the hospital and sat in my car. I took deep breaths and just kept getting choked up. I stared at the dark night sky.
The stars twinkled. Just like Rose's eyes. I can't take this anymore! I'm going to go insane.
Completley insane.
Amber POV
A week since Rosalyn went missing I had to go home. Mum is out shopping, Daddy's working and Alfie is working. I laid on the couch and tried to hold back from crying. I heard footsteps shuffling. I looked. Joy? She sat across from me on one of the couches. She had in her earbuds. She cocked her head at me.
"What?" I croaked cuddling the pillow I had. She took out the ear buds.
"Why are you just laying here?" She asked staring me down.
"I have nothing better to do." I sniffled.
"Why don't you go searching?" She said.
"Daddy has people looking for her and I don't even know what she looks like." I said. She scrolled through her phone and showed me a picture.
"There's your girl." She said.
"Is it really her?" I asked amazed.
"Yup. Now go looking." She said taking the phone away and laying back on the couch.
"Come with me." I said.
"Grounded." She pointed out.
"Then how do you have your phone?" I asked.
"Stole it back." She said.
"I need your deviousness! Please help me find her." I said.
"Ok fine. But if Father who I'm not calling Daddy anymore yells at me then you're backing me up." She said.
"I promise." I said. She got off the couch then helped me up. We headed out to her Audi. She apparently has a back-up key.
"Who do you think took her?" She asked.
"I don't know. Maybe Jerome and Mara." I said. She suddenly stopped then looked at me.
"You just want Jerome gone! You're not taking my twin from me you bitch!" She yelled.
"Joy, I promise if he has her then I will drop charges against him. I promise." I said.
"I swear if you're lying I will expose every embarrsing thing you have done to the world!" She said.
"I won't." I said. She started driving again.
"Where do you think they're hiding her?" She asked.
"I have no idea." I said.
"Wow thanks Amber." She said.
"I'm sorry!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's just look around." She said.
"Wait! How about you call him? He trust you!" I said.
"Yeah sure but the story is you listened in." She said.
"Thank you, Joybells!" I said. She groaned.
"You know I hate that nickname." She said.
"Sorry big sister!" I said.
"Yea, whatever." She said.
She knows she loves me!
Joy POV
I pulled over on the side of the road and called Jerome.
"Hey Joy." He said.
"Ok where is she?" I asked.
"What?" He asked.
"Jerome. I know you have Amber's kid. So where is she?" I asked.
"I'm not telling you." He said.
"I want in on it." I said.
"Joy, I can't. Mara would kill me." He said after that I just hung up. Grr.
"Why can't he tell me?" I exclaimed. Amber shrugged.
Grr.
Alfie POV
I've been working all day. Armando, my boss is working me overtime. He's just being his dick self while I'm working my ass off. He's just being annoying. I'm in the back getting out inventory. I heard the door open so that means someone's here. I went up front.
Ugh. Him. Jerome. He had on dark sunglasses and came smugly up to me.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"It's what Mara wants and you know I get her what she wants." He said.
"I'm not going to jail." I snapped.
"Would you rather that your daughter be dead?" He asked. My jaw clenched.
"Alright. What?" I said.
"Robbery. Clear the place out." He said.
"You know that's basically all of your trust fund being stolen?" I said.
"But it's coming to me. So are my sisters and those kids. Also my parents." He said.
"You're fucking screwed up." I snarled.
"Yes, well we expect the money by tonight." He said.
"Where do I take it?" I sighed.
"Oh Mara and I will be there. If you screw it up then we could always call the police on you and Eddison." He said.
"Alright then. See you later." I said.
"Great." He said then left. I growled through the back of my throat. Bastard. Stole my kid and now he wants me to do his dirty work. I grabbed my phone and updated Eddie. He agreed so if we fail then we will be in jail forever. Damn. I want to say bye to Amber but I just can't go back to that hospital. The rest of work was a blur and then it was time to go for another robbery. I had stopped by another store and got about twelve duffel bags. I have no clue how much will be in the safe because last time the goal was Joy and Jerome's money not anything else. Now we have to clear out everything.
Eddie met me at the bank. He looked annoyed. We put on our mask and then headed inside. Mara and Jerome were inside already with ROSY! She looked sick but she's moving!
"Go now." Mara instructed. I grunted then Eddie and I headed to the safe. I was getting ready to start loading up when I heard something shut. It was the vault door! Eddie had done it.
"What?" I asked.
"Shh. I called Mr. Rutter and he said by doing this it trips the silent alarms. And he said once he gets that message the police will be sent. We can hide in the vents and leave Jerome and Mara caught red handed with this and the kidnapping. Now started tossing some money in the bags and after that we can climb to the vents." He said.
"Ok then." I said then started hastily filling up a few bags. I left some of it sprawled out across the floor. Eddie helped me up into the vent and I helped him too. We crawled to where you could see outside a little bit. I heard sirens and then police cars fillied into the parking lot. I smiled. I heard them come inside and Mara and Jerome being read their rights. Eddie and I smiled and crawled out of the vents into the outdoors. Eddie and I had ditched our gear so we just came up pretending to have just gotten there.
"Are you Alfie Lewis?" One officer asked me.
"Yes." I said. They took Rosy from someone and handed her to me.
"I think she belongs to you." She said. I saw Mara struggling and getting taken into a cop car next to Jerome. She was really resisting. I went into the Ambulance with Rosy in my lap. They ran test and determined that she was on the verge of death basically. We need to get her to Amber in the hospital. She needs Amber's milk. But she'll be ok. We got there and Amber was in sweatpants? She hates sweatpants. She squealed when she saw Rosy. Rosy started crying.
"Let's get to the room." I said simply. She nodded and we went to the hospital room. Amber sat up on a bed and a nurse showed her how to breast feed Roasile. Rosy was kind of clueless but she understood. She's in safe hands.
