A/N I wanted to give a shout out to Rolling with the Cahills (forgive me if its typed wrong) who is the beta reader person thing for this story and has made it a bazillion times better. If you don't believe me go back and read the first chapter.
Amy's POV
The van slows to a halt only a few feet away from a tiny, basic, brown building. The building has no remarkable features, actually no features to be exact except a white door a little diagonal from the front of the vehicle. It doesn't take long for the two intimidating men south of me to begin directing orders at the girl sitting in the chair to my right like a military guard. I couldn't understand what they were saying as it was all in a different language, one I did not recognize. She responded in a like manner before wrapping her thin long fingers around my forearm and roughly tugging me out of the van and shoving me towards the plain door. As she went to twist the handle, someone from the inside took it and turned it first….
Dan's POV
I'm in utter shock of the events that just took place. My sister, my real family, my best friend, is gone. Whoever kidnapped her must have been keeping an eye on us because between the two of us she's definitely the one who could disappear for hours at a time and no one bothered to notice or care. Except for Ian of course. If not for the disturbing, uncalled for event that had taken place just before she disappeared; I don't think anyone would have forced all their attention on trying to find her. Everyone would most likely assume she was reading in the library. Ian is the most frightened and is definitely showing it. Ian pounds his fingers vigorously into the keyboard, tapping the mouse quickly doing everything in his power to locate her. Currently he's quickly working to locate the bug he placed in Amy's phone. It was created by Ekats, which means it should obviously still be up and working. I'm on my knees praying to god that she has her phone.….
Ian's POV
My stomach churns as Amy's scream of terror replays in my brain over and over like a broken record. This is all surreal. She can't be gone. She just can't. I need to locate her but at this exact moment I'm too in shock to do anything and my hands keep fumbling and vigorously shaking. I keep noticing Natalie keeps turning her head ever so slightly and peeking back at Daniel who sits with a grim expression painted on his face while he stares at the wall on the couch. My hands keep shaking as I've never been this terrified for Amy Hope Cahill's life since Korea. I twinge of annoyance escapes from a sigh from my mouth as I try to turn the bloody laptop on. Eventually Natalie takes her focus on Daniel, and loses her patience and snatches the laptop from me easily placing force onto the power button.
"OK. Locating her...now." Natalie states, staring at the screen. I scan the screen with my eyes, impatiently waiting for the results to appear. A few seconds later a faint beeping noise escapes from the laptop speaks and an angry expression paints itself over my sister's face.
"Her phone isn't powered on!" I'm closing in on tears slipping from my eyes and by the tension of the room; almost everyone else is too, I observe as she stands up from her place on the couch adjacent to me. She speed walks over to the couch where Amy's brother sits with a face of pure misery and takes his shivering hand into hers and delivers a comforting squeeze of his hand. I turn my attention over to Sinead breaking down into tears openly. Her sore hands covering her smeared makeup and the bare skin of her arms displaying the scars inflicted on her body during the clue hunt. Hamilton is right beside her trying, and failing terribly to comfort the poor girl, but he only seems to be making things worse….
Dan's POV
As soon as Natalie states that Amy's phone is off, a sick feeling of utter hopelessness consumes me, as I sink deeper into a state of sadness. A feeling of defeat enters the room as we have no knowledge of who captured Amy or where she might. Out of the peripheral vision of my right eye, I see Natalie making her way over to me. She plops down right next to me, though I'm too distraught and emotionally drained to argue and move to a different seat. Actually her presence is some type of twisted comfort. Natalie of all people. She takes my hand, which feels at the moment like one thousand pounds, and squeezes it. I raise my chin and lock eyes with Natalie. Even the great and mighty cobra is affected by my sister's disappearance.
Sinead takes a deep inhale and composes herself, wiping away her tears. "There has to be some way we can find her."
"We can't give up just yet. Not after one try." Hamilton agrees; Pumping his fist.
"I'd better call Nellie." I say, sliding my gold iPhone 5s out my back pocket and dialing her number quickly.
"Hey kiddo, what's up?" Nellie's voice echoes through my ear drum.
"Umm..." I say holding back a million tears.
"Dan? Are you alright?" Nellie questions, obviously concerned.
"Amy's missing…" As I recount the story, I could practically feel the intensity of grief and anger in her voice.
"I'm on my way." Nellie declares in a stone cold voice. Those were the last words I heard come from her before the line went dead.
Natalie's POV
Dan explains to us that Nellie is on the way back to the Cahill Mansion and will promptly arrive in a half an hour. I rise from my seat next to Dan and make my way back over to my seat next to Ian. As soon as I take a seat, I can see deep in his cold sparking amber eyes that he's formulating a plan.
"I know how we can save Amy if it was the Vespers who took her." Ian announces coldly glancing around at everybody's facial expressions. I raise my eyebrow at him curiosity filling within me. As leader of the Lucian branch, I'm positive he has many resources at the tip of his fingers; but I'm not quite sure what he is hinting at. "I have an agent. Not just any agent, an agent on the inside." Those six words restored hope to the Cahill family.
