While I was held hostage we had made an agreement. If I continued to do certain tasks for them, they would give me proof she was alive. If I didn't, or tried to escape, they would torture or kill her." Bridgett began to /"What kind of proof did they give?"

Officers told us you had gave Daryl your location."br /Bridgett took a shaky breath. "My dad was the only person that knew I was alive and still had connections with them. They were threatening him to do tasks as well in order to keep me alive. By giving him the location, they would believe that he may have found out where I was all by himself."
