Hey guys!
I'm glad you're liking the story but what happened to those reviews? :( Please review more, i love seeing your thoughts and questions.
Enjoy!
"Eric, pick up the phone and put it on speaker, are we ready?" Carlos asked and one of the cops nodded "Everyone remain in silence, now" he ordered and Eric answered the phone.
"Hello" Eric said nervously.
"Hello Eric" a male voice responded.
"Who is this?" Eric asked.
"A friend but that's not important, tell me, how's the family? How's Jade?" the man asked.
"Please, please don't hurt Jade, I'll give you all the money you want but please give me my daughter back" Eric begged.
"Greetings Carlos and the rest of the cops at Eric's house" the man said and they looked at each other surprised, they didn't see that one coming. "I can't believe it took you three long days to realize your daughter wasn't there, Eric, you're such a bad father"
"Where is she? What do you want?" Eric questioned.
"I know you're tracking the call but don't bother, you won't succeed and what do I want? That's a complicated question with a complicated answer, as for now I have what I want, I have your daughter" the man chuckled "But relax, she is still alive"
"I need a proof, let me talk to her" Eric demanded.
"No, you'll have to trust me" the man said "By the way congratulations you have a really pretty daughter"
"Thank you" Eric responded.
"It's such a shame you know? But oh well, some people are meant to die young" the man commented and Tori and Cat covered their mouths letting go a small gasp while Beck, Andre and Robbie shook their heads slowly in pain and frustration.
"No, no please don't hurt her, I'll do whatever you want but please don't hurt my daughter" Eric begged once again. "How much do you want?" he asked but the man laughed.
"I don't want your money, idiot" the man informed.
"What do you want then?" Eric questioned.
"You'll have news soon" and with that the man hung up.
"No, god, no this can't be happening" Eric said and threw the phone away.
"George, this is more serious than I initially thought" Carlos commented sincerely.
"What do they want? Why Jade?" Tori asked.
"That's what worries me now" Carlos said "They don't want money therefore the only reason I can think of is a personal revenge against you, Eric, who do you have problems with?"
"Please, I have problems with many people" Eric responded.
"This is something big, Eric, these people aren't new or stupid, they know how to be untraceable and they've been watching us the whole time, unfortunately there's nothing we can do" Carlos commented sadly and Eric kicked the couch in frustration.
"My poor baby, she doesn't have anything to do with my job, why don't they kill me instead?" Eric asked.
"They know Jade is your weak spot because she is your only daughter, the only thing we can do now is wait and pray I'm sorry" Carlos informed.
"No, no I need to save my daughter, you can't ask me to just pretend everything is fine and stay here" Mr. West shouted.
"You can't, we don't know where she is, just wait...he said we'd get news soon" Carlos said "After that we'll see what we can do, okay?"
Hours went by but nothing happened and anxiety was taking control of everybody's minds, it was night time but neither Jade's dad nor the gang could go to bed. "I think it's time for us to go" Robbie said.
"I don't wanna go anywhere" Tori informed.
"Yeah me either, I wanna stay here" Cat joined.
"Me too" Andre said.
"Well, then so do I" Beck added.
"I wanna stay too but this is not our house" Robbie commented.
"Don't worry, guys, you can stay all the time you want, you'd do me a favor actually, the house feels so empty without her... we have a guest room and there's, there's Jade's room too" Eric informed, his voice cracked when he said Jade's name.
"Thank you" Tori said sincerely "Cat, guys let's go upstairs... I'm honestly really tired and I need to call my parents" They all agreed and went upstairs so they could call their parents and prepare for bed, Cat and Tori took Jade's bedroom and the guys took the guest's room but when they were done changing and informing their parents they went to Jade's room too.
"I really can't believe Jade is kidnapped" Andre commented sadly.
"It just seems so incredible, you see the news and all these things that happen to people and you think it must be horrible but you never imagine it's gonna happen to anyone you know and then it does, it's happening to Jade" Tori added.
"I don't want Jade to die" Cat said about to cry.
"None of us does, Cat" Robbie responded.
"Well, no but someone here wanted her to disappear" Andre commented and Beck stared at him annoyed. "No, but really I know you didn't mean you wanted her to like... die but you said that she should disappear and she did, not on purpose but she did, I just think it's such a big coincidence or destiny I don't even know" Beck knew Andre was right and he felt like the worst asshole on the entire universe but he still refused to seem weak.
Next morning everyone was in the living room when the phone rang again and Eric immediately picked it up "Hello"
"Open your computer and answer my video call" The boss simply ordered and Eric did, as soon as he turned it on he got a skype call from an unknown contact and he answered it. "Nice to see you face to face, Mr. West" The boss commented.
"I can't see your face" Eric responded, they could only see the man's shirt and neck.
"No need to, now, here's a free preview of what will happen if you don't do exactly as I say" The boss said and walked off the camera revealing Jade behind him, she was on her knees with her arms tied above her head from a pole.
"Jade!" Mr. West immediately exclaimed and Jade looked up but she couldn't see anything because her eyes were covered just like her mouth.
Suddenly a man walked towards Jade wearing a mask and untied her arms before forcing her to stand up by pulling her hair, then he punched her in the face so hard that she fell and when she was on the floor he kicked her stomach twice, Jade was only moaning and holding her stomach in pain "STOP, PLEASE STOP" M. West screamed, it was so hard to see that happening.
The man simply grabbed Jade's head and punched her again which made her pass out immediately and the boss walked in front of the camera again blocking their vision of Jade. "How could you?" Eric asked.
"This is the first time we've hit her, it's actually the first time she's heard us because she's been alone in this room ever since the day she got here but you had to see by yourself a little bit of what will happen to her if you don't cooperate, now, listen well because that's her only chance to survive" The boss commented "Alan Roche has to be out of jail by tomorrow morning or I'll send you Jade's hand in a box so you'll know that she is dead and in some trash can in pieces, am I clear?"
"No, no please don't" Eric begged.
"You have 24 hours or you can say goodbye to your daughter" was the last thing the boss said before finishing the call.
"How could that man hit a woman like that?" Andre questioned angrily.
"Poor Jade, that was horrible" Tori commented sadly.
"I need to make some calls, this is gonna be difficult but I gotta get that man out of jail" Eric informed and left the room, he was going to do everything in his power and more to save Jade and if that meant, letting a criminal go so be it.
A few hours later Eric came back smiling and sighed "Done, Alan Roche will be freed tomorrow morning at 7am" he informed.
"Thank god, that means Jade will be back right?" Tori asked and Eric nodded.
"Hopefully" he smiled and so did the gang.
They spent the rest of the day anxiously waiting for the boss to call but nothing happened until next morning.
"May I come in?" Dog asked and the boss nodded.
"Any news? Did the lawyer obey?" The boss questioned.
"Yes, sir, they were going to set Alan free this morning..." Dog informed and The boss sighed relieved. "But it won't be possible"
"What do you mean?" The boss asked confused.
"Sir, I'm sorry but we've been told that your son was found hanged in his cell a few hours ago" Dog informed sadly.
"What? No, no that can't be true my son would never kill himself, that's a lie" The boss exclaimed upset.
"I personally believe that someone inside killed him and made it look like suicide, sir, you know that we have many enemies in jail" Dog commented.
"You're right... "The boss whispered with a few tears in his eyes.
"The body is on its way here, I'm really sorry...he was one of us" Dog said sadly.
"Nothing would've happened if he had never gone to jail, this is that fucking lawyer's fault" The boss said full of rage.
"Do you want me to kill the son of a bitch?" Dog questioned but the boss shook his head.
"No, no, no... He has to live it, I was going to negotiate with him and send the girl back but... things have changed" The boss affirmed as he pressed his pen until it broke.
That day everyone waited hours and hours just walking around anxiously and drinking coffee but nothing happened until finally, around 7pm the phone rang again and everyone reunited in the living room.
"Hello" Mr. West immediately answered.
"Evening Eric and everyone else" The man said.
"How's Jade?" Eric asked.
"This is not a five stars hotel but she can't complain, we've treated her like she deserves for being a West" The man answered "Go outside and pick up the package I left for you" Eric immediately obeyed and when he opened the door there was a little box right outside so he grabbed it and walked back to the living room "I got it"
"Open it" The boss ordered and Eric took a deep breath before opening it because he was afraid it would turn out to be Jade's hand but he finally reunited the courage and opened it, there were only Jade's "B" necklace, a few rings and a bracelet that she was wearing the last time they saw her. "I thought you should have something to remember Jade"
"What? Alan is free now, you said..." Eric started but The boss cut him off.
"Your daughter is a little rebel but she told me a few things, we asked her in such a gentle way that she couldn't say no...I guess you can imagine" the man chuckled "No but really, she has no idea why she is here, I guess she doesn't know you very well" he commented.
"We made a deal" Eric exclaimed.
"You made a mistake, Mr. West, a very bad and stupid mistake and this is your punishment" the man said.
"What do you mean? I freed that criminal for you, what the hell do you want from me?" Eric questioned madly.
"This, I want to see you suffer, have you heard that saying *if you play with fire you're gonna get burned*? Well, you played with fire and your daughter is paying the consequences, I'm gonna make you regret every second of your life through your daughter and I swear by the time this is over I won't have to kill you because you will pull the trigger yourself" The man affirmed.
"Kill ME, not her, please I beg you" Eric said crying and the man chuckled.
"You know? I've been debating what to do with Jade but I just can't decide, so many possibilities" the man commented. "My favorite one so far is this one, listen and tell me what you think, I send her to the lowest and nastiest bar on the planet, in one of those countries without security or laws, just imagine a place full of drugs, rats, smoke, alcohol and lots of disgusting AIDS infected men all in line to take a turn on the newest slave, Jade, I'm going to force her to swallow cocaine and inject her heroin every day in such a way that she won't be able to stand up by herself or fight the men or do anything at all, she will be like a zombie but she'll still feel and think, by the time they're done with her the only thing left of your daughter will be the memory, that in case she doesn't die from overdose before" the man laughed. "Just try to picture her in a cold empty room chained to the wall by her foot, starving and thirsty and tired and drugged all the time, then imagine those animals coming in, beating her up and raping her constantly, those men are beasts I'm sure she won't last a week"
"Son of a bitch" Eric said full of rage with a few tears running down his face.
"I could simply drown her and throw her body into the sea but that'd be too easy" The boss commented."You want her back, right?" The boss questioned.
"Yes, yes please" Eric responded.
"What if I send her to you piece by piece? One part of the body per day until you get the head, sounds good?" the man suggested but Eric couldn't even find the words to respond "Just remember, Eric, you brought this on her; you're the one to blame for her death"
"If I'm the one to blame kill me and let her go, she has nothing to do with my job" Eric demanded.
"No, you said it yourself, you said you'd take the case to its last consequences, well, its last consequence is your daughter's death, you can count on it" the man affirmed.
"What are you talking about?" Eric questioned confused.
"You along with your stupid ego gave me many problems, my son is dead now and all because of you, I'm just returning the favor but worse, much worse, I swear to god you won't have a moment of peace until you finally decide to kill yourself because you'll know that wherever Jade is, she is either dead or waiting to die in the worst possible conditions you can think of, she will have a slow and painful agony" The man commented, everyone in the house was just listening in shock, fear and frustration, especially Jade's father and her friends.
"No, please don't" Eric didn't even know what to say anymore, every word the man said hurt more than the other.
"Yes, oh yes, she might die today or tomorrow or in a week, it all depends but that's not important, she is going to die soon and all you need to know is that I am going to make sure that her last moments are so brutal that she'll regret being born and she'll hate you for it" His voice and the way he said it was so frightening that it didn't feel like it was real, it was like talking to the devil "You're going to suffer, Eric, you're going to spend the rest of your life wondering what your daughter's fate was because you won't see her EVER again, we are on a plane leaving the country right now but guess what? It could be her tied next to me still alive or just her dead body, how could you know? This is my last call and I hope you enjoyed the video call because you won't see Jade ever again" he affirmed.
"Please..." Eric was crying desperately by that point.
"I'm really sorry for your loss, Mr. West" and with that the man hung up to never call again.
Well, yeah...
