I was at my grandma's when I wrote this chapter, but I had to hurry, cause that whole computer almost crashed. ( Almost the second in one week I made crash. ) But here it is and I hope you like it.

Previously:

"I was walking my dog, and suddenly someone grabbed me by my arms and my dog ran away. He took me to his car and I struggled, but it didn't help anything. When we drove to this place, I tried to reach some people in the car. There were two men in a black hummer, who might had seen me. But this kidnapper man drove so fast that they lost me and the car..." She stopped talking. "Are we going to die?"

"No! Absolutely not! If there is something that is not going to happen, then that is that we are going to die. We are trying to escape from here, okay? Then you can go back to your dog and family." Natalia sounded confident, but deep in her heart, she knew that it was all a lie.

You could hear the doorbell of the store when Ryan and Eric got in. They made a perfect entry, because every girl in that store were watching them. Eric grinned when he saw the face of his partner, like it was uncomfortable for him.

And indeed, it was uncomfortable for Ryan. Maybe it was a complement when a lot of girls were watching you, but the only girl he was interested in was not here.

They walked to the pay desk. A man with black hair, black glasses and a magazine sat behind the desk. He turned a page around, like he didn't notice Ryan and Eric. Ryan put his hands on the desk. The man looked over his glasses to face Ryan. He wasn't quite happy about the fact that Ryan was hanging over his desk.

"Yeah? What can I do for you?" He threw his magazine on his desk and crossed his arms.

"Are you Victor? Victor Freelings?" Ryan asked while he showed his CSI badge.

The man nodded. "Yeah, that's me, and the answer for your next question is; yes, Patrick has been here this morning."

Ryan frowned. "How did you know I was planning on asking?"

"Cause the whole day the cops are asking me all those questions about that guy Patrick. And to answer your upcoming question: No, I don't know who that Patrick is and I don't know where he is. I don't know anything about him."

"He is annoying me pretty hard." Eric whispered to Ryan. Ryan only nodded. Just to stay at the conversation he had with this creepy man.

"So you don't know anything about this guy?" Ryan stood straight back again.

"Nope, that's what I'm trying to tell ya, so if you wanna excuse me, there are some costumers who wanna pay something." The man gave a creepy grin. That made both, Eric and Ryan, shiver.

They turned around and walked out of the store.

"Why did the police even call us about that Patrick, if they already asked Victor all of our questions?" Eric asked.

"I dunno, but sooner or later we can find out. But now we have to focus on something else. And I'm not sure what that can be." Ryan leaned against his hummer.

Eric sighed and looked around. And then suddenly he saw him. Standing on the other side of the road. He knew it was him, there was no way out. He looked at the picture of a guy he had in his pocket. And indeed it was him .. Patrick Queno.

"Ryan, it's him." He pointed softly to the man who was walking on the other side.

Ryan couldn't believe his eyes. "Should we get him?"

"Uhu, this is our first and maybe last chance to talk to him."

They walked towards Patrick. But Patrick already noticed them and ran away. Eric and Ryan began to run too. They didn't want to loose this guy. He was the only solution to the next chapter of this case.

"Don't run away! Stay where you are, and nothing would happen to you!" Eric shouted.

Patrick gave up. This was a short pursuit, that never happened before. Patrick turned around. And threw his hands in the air.

"What are you going to do? Lock me into prison? What did I even do, why is the whole police station searching for me? Huh?"

It was like Patrick was freaking out. It was like he had taken drugs, but Ryan nor Eric could prove that. Because every step they took to get closer to Patrick, every step he took to get as far away from them.

"We won't hurt you Patrick, we only wanna ask you a couple of questions." Ryan said on a soft tone.

"Why? I didn't do anything wrong .. damn it!" Patrick knelt on the ground. "Ask me anything you want! I've got nothing to hide for anyone."

"Do you know Lauren Mccving?" Ryan asked and Patrick looked up. "No, I never heard about that name."

"Are you engaged to Viona?" Eric showed him the ring while Ryan was asking that question.

"No, I don't know a Viona. Are we done?" Patrick stood up, ready to take off.

"No we aren't, we have to take you with us. We need to talk to you in private, and not here on this street." Ryan stepped forward. And this time Patrick didn't step back, but stepped forward too.

"Okay, take me with you. Then I'm finally done with this."

Natalia was hungry. She didn't know how long they were in this empty room. But they didn't eat in the time they were here. She wanted to walk to Ayla, who was on the bed, but suddenly the door smashed open, again, and a man was standing in front of them.

"You two are going with me." The man didn't scream, but said it on a low tone. But when Ayla hesitated, the bomb in him exploded. "I said; You two are going with me! And hurry up would ya!"

He walked to Natalia and grabbed her by her arms. She didn't say anything. Because saying or doing anything against this big man wouldn't change the situation. Only a broken arm and blood on the floor. This thought made Natalia shiver.

When the man grabbed Natalia by her arms, Ayla didn't hesitate anymore but walked to the big man too. "I'm sorry..." She said with a shaky voice.

"Shut up! I don't wanna hear the two of you. Otherwise you can expect a fist." Ayla looked with big eyes to the man. She wanted to kick and scream and run away as fast as she could. But there was only 1% that, that could happen.

They walked away from the empty room. Not knowing what was waiting for them at the end of this endless hall. It felt like they were walking upwards, but there were no stairs so Natalia couldn't establish that thought. When they were finally at the end of the endless hall. They saw a door. The man opened it and pushed the two of them trough the door. Natalia and Ayla had to blink. They were outside in the fresh air.

The man was still holding the arms of Natalia, he let one go and grabbed one arm of Ayla, so he was sure that she couldn't run away from him. He dragged them to a car. And pushed them inside of the black SUV. He closed and locked the doors and took place on the drivers seat. Ready to drive away.

We still don't know who that man is who kidnapped Natalia and Ayla. It's an unknown person. ^^

I don't know what kind of questions to ask, lol.

So I'm out.
