Jessica
He'd just come home when Jessica came up to him frantic so he tried to put on the mask of a concerned, loving husband once again. He took her into his arms and smoothed down her hair.
"Honey, what's wrong?" he asked trying to sound as worried and concerned as he could and fighting the smile wanting to break out. He knew exactly what had her panicked.
"I can't find Jack anywhere. He should be have been home hours ago," she answered frightened.
"What if something's happened to him?"
"Oh hush hush I'm sure nothing's happened to him. I'm sure he's only run away to find his father. He's always going on about him."
Alarm bells started ringing in her head. How could he be so casual about her nephew going missing and of course Jack was always going to go on about Aaron. Aaron had always been his hero and he knew all Jack wanted was his dad back.
She looked up at him and was horrified to see him trying to bite back a smirk. She felt her heart rip into two. Oh why hadn't she listened to her nephew's mistrust? She knew her nephew had to have his reasons to have mistrusted Daniel for so long.
She pushed him away shaking tears out of her eyes. "No, no, what did you do to him?" she stuttered while every fibre in her being stood up alert. "What have you done with my nephew?" she narrowed her eyes.
"What would Haley think? Poor thing left her son with such incompetent guardians. First his father disappears," he smirked. "Now his aunt couldn't prevent his own disappearance."
Her eyes widened as she realised just what those noises in the attic might have been. She ran up to the attic and when she stepped in she could hear him following her but she didn't care. She saw what looked like chains at one end of the attic. Her eyes widened and she went over.
When she got there she saw blood nearby and one of Aaron's ties with blood on it. She'd recognise it anywhere she thought as she picked it up and tears threatened to prick her eyes. She closed her eyes and swallowed the lump in her throat then re-opened them. All this time he'd been here and she hadn't known. If only she'd investigated the noises instead of trusting her husband too.
She looked up to see Daniel standing there with almost a maniacal grin saying, "They got what they deserved."
She shook her head with tears filling her eyes crying, "No, no."
"Oh don't worry, Jess, they're still alive but you'll never find them. You'll never see them again," he laughed as he left the attic.
Racked with sobs she got out her phone and dialled the only person she knew could help her find her nephew and his father again. Oh what a fool she felt but she had to help them. She had no idea what her husband had planned.
"Rossi," she heard come through the phone.
"Dave," she wept into the phone trying to recover her tears enough to tell him what had just happened.
"Jessica, what is it? What's wrong? Has something happened to Jack?" he answered worried.
"Daniel's kidnapped him. Daniel kidnapped them both. I'm so sorry, I should never have trusted him. Oh god..."
"Jess, calm down. Daniel's kidnapped who?"
"Jack. He's taken Jack. Oh god I should have been home early and never trusted him. He also confessed he took Aaron..."
"What happened?"
She filled him in while trying to stop the tears that were readily coming. She couldn't believe the man she'd loved and trusted had turned out to be this monster. She was still shocked he'd just confessed to kidnapping both her nephew and his father then just left laughing.
Once she'd filled him in he asked concerned, "Where are you?"
"I'm in the attic at the house," she cried.
"Stay there! We'll be over as soon as possible. We will find and bring them both home."
