Ellie looked up at Mike as they ate. He'd been staring at her for half an hour and it was starting to unnerve her. "Why do you keep staring?"
"You've changed."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean you've changed from the first time I met you until now." he replied. "I'm trying to figure out why?"
"The circumstances have changed."
"I know." He said to her. "Ellie, we will find Allie and Finn."
"Don't make me a promise you can't keep. You have no idea where they are and we're here and they are who knows where. You can't keep me safe. He's going to come for me and he's going to kill me. And he'll probably get me. But I'm not going out without a fight."
"I can protect you. I'm not going to let anything happen to you." He said as he took her hand in his. "Do you trust me?" She nodded. "Then look at me." She looked up at him. "You're not in this alone. I'm going to do everything I can to protect you. He's not going to win this. We're going to find your sister and Finn. And we're going to make sure Drew pays for what he's done to you. I promise you that."
She nodded. She believed him when he said it. That they would find Allie and Finn and make sure Drew pay.
John looked at the file that had all of Drew's properties. He had to be keeping Allie and Finn at one of them. John also looked at everything on Randy. Any properties he might have.
"John, have you even been home?" Stephen asked him.
"No. I'm not resting until I find them." Then he saw it. "Orton's agent William Regal has a warehouse just off Vine. Send a unit to check it out. Unmarked." Stephen nodded and made the call. Both hoped Allie and Finn were there.
Drew held Finn in his arms. Drew was happy that Finn had stop crying and trying to get away from him. It was one step closer to having his son permanently. He just had to make sure those who stood in his way were gone.
Allie sat in the bedroom with Randy worried about Finn. He hadn't cried and she hoped he was okay. "Please tell me how Finn is."
"He's fine. He's with his father."
"That doesn't mean he's okay."
"Why are you so worried about him?"
"Because he's just an innocent baby and I don't want anything to happen to him. I promised Ellie I'd take care of him."
"And look where your loyalty to Ellie has gotten you."
"I would do anything to protect my sister and my nephew. My family." She said to him. "Now, if you ever cared about me, can you please make sure Finn is okay?"
"I will check but I know he's fine." Randy walked out of the bedroom and into the main place where Drew was with Finn. "Allie is worried. Is he okay?"
"He's fine." Drew said walking over to Randy. He pointed to the pack n play. "He's sleeping."
Randy walked over and checked on Finn. He was sleeping peacefully. He turned to Drew. "Good. I will tell Allie he's fine."
"You went to all this trouble to get her and all you've been doing in there is talking?"
"I'm not a rapist. I'm not going to force myself on her." Randy replied.
"You need to take charge. Tell her she will be yours and be happy with you. Once Ellie is gone, she will have no one. You will be all she has."
"But I'm not going to force myself on her."
"Have it your way." He said walking over to the desk. He had to get Ellie and make her pay. Then he and his son would disappear and no one would be able to find them.
Randy sighed and headed into the bedroom where Allie was. "Finn is fine. He's sleeping."
"Good." Allie said. "I'm glad he's okay."
"Drew wouldn't hurt him."
"Right? Because Drew's not a killer? I know he killed Phil or he had it done. And I know Ellie didn't do it. She's right handed. The killer was left handed. And the police know that now. And they will find the real killer."
"If the cops were so good, they would have found who did it the first time wouldn't they?"
"Because the upper brass wanted a quick case and conviction. All the evidence pointed to Ellie. They never realized about the left handed killer. But they know it now and they will find out who killed Phil."
John and Stephen arrived at the warehouse with the undercover unit. They were in the process of surveillance on it. "So what now?"
"We wait it out for a while. You see Allie, Orton or Drew and you go for it." The other cops nodded.
"Do you think they're in there?"
"I think so. The lights are on and the cars are there. We just have to be careful. Drew could have guys watching everything." The other officers nodded and continued surveillance.
John watched the warehouse. They had to be there. The department had checked every place of Drew's and every other place of Randy's. This was the only place they could be.
Mike read the text from John saying that the police believe they had found Allie and Finn but they weren't sure yet. "There's a possibility they've found Allie and Finn." Mike said.
"Are they okay?"
"I don't know more than they think they have them located. Once John tells me more, I will let you know."
"Okay." She said.
"Ellie, they will be found."
"I hope so."
Mike sighed. He couldn't do more to comfort her about her family. He moved closer to her and leaned in to kiss her. "I can't do more than just be here for you."
She smiled. "Thank you." He smiled and hugged her.
John saw the curtain move a little in the warehouse. "There was movement." He said into the radio. "Does anyone see anyone?"
"Negative."
John sighed. "We need to just storm the place."
"Allie and Finn are in there. You don't want to risk them, do you?" Stephen asked him.
John sighed again. "No, I don't. I just want them safe."
Drew noticed movement outside. "Cops." He said to his men. "Get Allie and Randy." The Shield, as his men were called, headed into the room and brought Allie out with Randy behind them. "Cops are here. We are leaving through the secret pass way."
Drew quickly entered the code in and the secret door opened. He had one of his men hand Finn to Allie. "We're leaving." He looked at Allie. "You can forget about trying to escape. We will shoot you first."
"Drew." Randy said.
"Relax, Randy. As long as she does what she's told, no one will get hurt." Drew said to him as they started into the secret pass way.
"Don't lay a hand on her."
"As long as she follows what she's told." Drew said as they walked through the secret pass way.
John and the SWAT team stormed into the warehouse but found it empty. "Look around." John yelled.
Stephen came upon the passage way and called John to it. "It's a pass way. They might have gone down it."
"Let's go." John said.
Drew and the others walked through the pass way. Allie held tight to Finn. She knew with all of them around, she couldn't run.
"I hear footsteps." Drew said stopping. He looked from Randy to Allie. "Give me Finn."
"I'm not giving him to you." Allie said. "I'm not running anywhere."
"Give me my son now!"
"I'm not giving him to you."
Drew sighed and nodded to his associates. Allie didn't have time to react when one took Finn from her. "I warned you Allie." She or Randy barely had time to react when Drew pulled the trigger of the gun and the bullet hit Allie.
