Thank you all for the reviews.
I've never written a story like this before, so i'm still really nervous about writing it.
Anyway, please keep reviewing, I like hearing suggestions of what to do better, or even some ideas for the story.
Within 10 minutes after explaining everything to Patty and Babette, the entire town knew within the hour and was forming search groups all over. Luke rushed back home to see if they got any leads on Kelsey.
When he walks to the backyard, he sees Katrina and Lorelai holding each other, crying.
"Officer, what's wrong? Why are my wife and daughter crying? Did you find something?" He asks the office, while trying to comfort Katrina and Lorelai at the same time.
"We found what you're daughter tells us to be, Kelsey's shoe."
"Well that's good right? I mean, you can get to her faster?"
"While that is true, the dogs can only sniff the scent off the shoe for a certain amount of time. Once the scent is gone, they won't know where to go."
"But you can get somewhere, right?"
"Yes, we can get somewhere." He assures him. "Right now I'd advise you to take you're family inside again and keep them there, calm them down."
"Alright, thank you on girls." He tells them, and holds tightly onto both of them, helping them inside.
"Dad, she's not…she's not dead right?"
He knows that he can't lie to her. She's old enough to understand. "We don't know Kate; all we can do know is hope that she's still alive."
She nods slowly. "Oh."
"Hey, why don't you go get you're brothers and bring them down here."
"Okay." Katrina leaves and goes upstairs. Lorelai stands up straight and wipes her eyes.
"I'm sorry Luke; I know you said to be strong for our kids. But when they said they found Kelsey's shoe, I lost it."
"Shh….its okay, I understand. I would have done the same thing." And with that said, he let's her continue to cry into his flannel. He felt like crying too, but he has to be strong for his family.
Meanwhile, in a broken down old house, 50 miles outside the state of Connecticut.
The man carries a squirming Kelsey inside a dark bedroom and drops her onto a bed. "This is you're room."
"No its not."
The man launches at her and covers her mouth with his hand. "Back talk like that to me again and I'll make sure you never speak another word." He slaps across the face and leaves the room, locking it behind him. She cuddles up on one of the pillows that lay next to her on the bed, and cries.
20 minutes later she hears footsteps coming towards the room, causing her to sit up straight. Afraid that if she didn't, he'd hit her.
"Here, I brought you a sandwich." He throws the bag at her and then sits next to her on the bed.
"Th..tha…thank you." She says softly.
"I've been watching you for quite some time now Kelsey Victoria Danes."
She drops the sandwich. "How do you know my whole name?" One thing about her, she's not going to sit back and be afraid. She'll get right up into this guy's face if she has to, but no matter what, she's finding a way out of here.
He runs a hand down her face and she backs away, but he grabs her tightly to stop her from moving.
"I know all about you. You are on television. I've seen you're pictures, I have a bunch of them." He pulls her hand and takes her to another room, only this time, he turns the light on and she looks around. The walls are covered in pictures…and all of the pictures….are of her.
Please don't forget to review!
