Jamie

"911. This is Cathy. What's your emergency?" the operator says.

"My daughter is missing. We think she's been kidnapped," David says.

"How old is she?" Cathy asks.

"8" he says.

"What's her name?" she asks.

"Jamie Marie Johanson."

"Give me your address."

"It's 2494 Landers Street."

"City and state?"

"Oh right. Idris, Rhode Island."

"Thank you. The police are on their way. Would you like me to stay on the line with you until
they get there?"

"No that won't be necessary." he says and hangs up.

"Oh, David. What if we never see her again?" Jennifer cries.

"Don't think like that, Jenn. We must think positive." he says and walks her over to the couch.

Chance runs his hand over her now naked body and licks his lips. He leans down and
kisses her forehead. "My beautiful angel."

"She won't be an angel for long," Brian says.

"I know, but she will always look like an angel to me." He gently pushes a finger tip into her
making her squirm and he pulls back out. "Ssh, my angel. Sleep."

"Come on, Chance. Let's let her sleep," Brian says.

Chance nods and gets up off the bed carefully. He looks back at Jamie before walking out
the door and Brian shuts the door.

They walk out to the living room and Chance turns on the TV.

"So tell me; why did you pick Jamie?" Brian asks.

"Because she's beautiful," Chance says.

"She's a little girl. How is she beautiful?"

"Just look at her beautiful face. Her wonderful curves."

"Curves? On a five year old?"

"Mhm. Her hips and thighs."

"You're really messed up."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Whatever. I know what I like and I want her."

"Freak.

"Leave then."

"Leave you alone here with her? Don't think so."

"Well fine."

"I don't trust you."

"Ok fine."

The police knock on the door and David gets up off the couch to answer it.

"Hello, I'm Officer Rodriguez and this is my partner Officer Thomaas." one of the police
officers says.

"Oh hello. Please, come in," David says stepping aside.

The officers walk in and David closes the door.

"So what happened here?" Officer Rodriguez asks David as Officer Thomaas walks over to
Jennifer.

"My wife put our daughter to bed at about 8 o'clock and came back down about 10 minutes
later. We cuddled on the couch for about an hour after she got back down here and after that
hour she went up to check on Jamie and I heard her scream so I ran up. Once I got up
there, she was leaning out the window and crying. I called her name and she turned around
and looked at me and said 'She's gone!' and I ran over to her and looked out the window. I
hugged her and she cried into my shoulder and I brought her down here and called 911."

***

Jennifer sits crying on the couch as Officer Thomaas walks up. "Ma'am?"

She looks up at him. "Yes?"

He sits down next to her. "Can you tell me what happened?"

She shakes her head. "I can only tell you what I know. I don't know what happened. I just
know that when I went up to check on my daughter she was gone."

"Ok. Did you see or hear anything strange outside?" Officer Rodriguez asks.

She shakes her head again. "No not that I can think of."

"Any mysterious people?"

"No."

"Noises?"

"No. Well there was some screaching tires a couple hours ago but that happens all the
time."

"So you heard nothing from upstairs?"

"No."

"Ok. Thank you Ma'am." he says and stands up.

"Find my daughter."

"We will do our best Ma'am."

"Thank you."

I wake up and look around. "Where am I?" I ask myself and the door opens.

A tall man peeks in the room and smiles when he sees me looking at him. "Good morning,
Sleeping Beauty."

I don't know this man. "Who are you?" I ask.

"My name is Chance." he says slipping in and shutting the door.

I sit up and scoot backwards away from him.

He sits on the end of the bed and smiles at me.

"Where am I?" I ask.

"In my apartment."

"What am I doing here?"

"You will figure that out later."

Another man walks in. "Ah, she's awake."

"Yes, she is," Chance says.

"Where are my parents?" I ask.

"They are at your house."

I look down at myself. "Where are my clothes?"

"On the floor."

"Why?"

"I like looking at you without clothes."

"Why?" I ask covering myself up.

***

The officers leave and David closes the door.

"They will find her," Jennifer says.

"I know," David says and hugs his wife.

She grabs onto him. "I hope she's ok."

"Yeah, so do I."

She lets go of him and heads upstairs to go to bed.

He watches her go and walks over to the couch bringing the phone with him. He sits down
and flicks on the TV.

"You're a beautiful girl, Jamie," Chance says.

I back farther away from him.

"Don't be scared," he says reaching out for me. How come Brian hasn't said any more? I
think to myself. His fingers brush against my cheek and I close my eyes.

"I want to go home," I say.

"You can't go home, Sweetie," Chance says.

"Why not?" I ask.

"Because I don't want you to leave me." He crawls over to me and sits next to me.

"But I want to go home," I say and start crying.

"Oh, Baby. Don't cry," he says and hugs me.

I pull away. "Let go of me," I say which only makes him squeeze me harder.

"I don't want to," he says.
