Arianna's POV

Pain in the ass. Fucking headache.

I slowly opened my eyes, only to see pieces of darkness.

I blinked a couple of times just to make sure i am seeing things right. I am in complete darkness.

Right. I was kidnapped by...HIM.

I remembered I was going to go to the hospital with Zacky when HE knocked on our door. I didn't recognized him as the man behind all these at first, but the way he talked just sparked something in me. I remembered I was running towards the back door when He put a piece of cloth over my nose and mouth, probably chloroform, and it knocked me out...cold.

Hearing the noise, I guess i am in the back of a car...

I tried to find my cellphone, which should be in the pocket of my jeans, only to find myself stuck. I am bonded in ropes and my mouth as been duct tape. I am no way to scream for help.

I struggled and wiggled, trying to find any object to cut of the ropes, but it has no effect. The thick rope that tied my hands behind my back remains there.

I decided to stop struggle because this is wasting my energy. I will sprint for my life when I can go out.

Moments later, what seemed like a decade, the car stopped. This is my chance now.

The man's footstep can be heard outside. It sounded like we are in a fucking forest. What am i doing here?

Suddenly, he pulled the trunk lid open. Instantly, i shut my eyes, pretending that I am still unconscious. I don't want him to knock me out again. My headache is still killing me.

"Oh Ari..." He said before grabbing my arms and legs and carried me into the cottage he owns. The same cottage where Zacky and Aidan was taken to a couple of days ago.

He gently opened the wooden door and turned on the dim lights. Carefully, he stepped down the stairs leading to the basement.

Once we got there, he put my 'limp' body gently on a mattress on the floor.

"This is home, Arianna...."

Third Person's POV

Almost instantly after discovering the notes and Arianna's disappearance, Zacky dialed Brian and the guys phone number. They informed him that Chris is doing fine while Zacky told them to come to the house immediately.

Getting as fast as they can, the boys and Valerie arrived at Brian's house almost twenty minutes later.

Once their car was parked, Brian hurried into the house, only to discover an upset looking Zacky on the couch.

"What's wrong, bro? Where's Ari?"

"She....He... took her.." Zacky said, disapointed, and gave Brian the note the man has left for her.

"What the fuck?" Shouted from several of the guys. Each of their facial expression dropped to stunned and dismay. Arianna is now in the hands of the psycho.

"Ho..how? What happened?"

"I was supposed to pick her up but before i got here, He took her."

"and all he left us was a fucking note?" Matt asked.

"No..." Zacky got up and carried over the heavy box full of letters, "he also send her this...read this..." He showed them the letters that were full of delusional, crazy thoughts. Each of them felt unsure and frightened about the man's motive.


"I am going to call James now." Brian told the crew and head for the bedroom. He may seemed rather calm but inside him, he is dying slowly. His wife has been kidnap and he had let that fucker took her without protecting her. It's all his fault.

He picked up his phone and called his detective friends and told them about his problems. They said they will be there within an hour due to another case.

Brian then returned to the silent living room where the rest of them were. They all are depressed and worried about Arianna's safety. They just want the guy to be captured.

_------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Knock, knock...

"I will get it." Valerie jumped off the couch and head for the door. Expecting to see the detectives, she saw a delivery man.

"Miss, can i please find..." he looked down on his papers, "Brian Haner.Jr or Zacky Baker?"

As if they have amazing listening skills, Brian signed the paper within a few seconds. They collected the box and set it on the table.

They all debated to rather open it or not, fearing it may be some parts of Arianna, or maybe a bomb. In the end, they decided to open the box.

Instead of the bombs, they found a laptop. Zacky quickly took the laptop and put it on the coffee table where he turned it on immediately. They searched the laptop and the only thing on its hardrive is a file with videos.

"Click this," Johnny instructed Zacky. Once Zacky clicked on the video clip file, a clip of a woman, which is Arianna, is shown.

She looked the same as the last time Brian has saw her, which was like `10 hours ago before she head over to her mother's house to hand over Aidan and when he left home to fix something.

She looked rather dazed and scared. Her hands and legs where all tied up by ropes and her mouth was ductape. Luckily, she wasn't bruised or cut or anything. She seemed perfectly normal.

A man's voice suddenly boomed through the speaker,

"My my my... I guess I am the winner, am I?" A familiar voice sounded to Brian whose eyes were open wide. Beside Brian, Matt and Zacky noticed the voice as well.

"She is mine now. Find her if you can, HANER." The video shuts off.

"NO. What the fuck is he doing?" Brian stood up, shouting, losing his cool. He can hardly believe what is happening... He knew this man, inside and out. They are not just friends, they are more.
