Alex's P.O.V

I held the picture frame sadly and stared at the picture of Katie, in my other hand was a small box that contained a necklace. I had gotten the gift for her a few months ago and it was of two butterflies, one was me and one was her, she really liked butterflies so that's why I got it for her.

I would have given it to her today for her 18th birthday but those men took my best friend away and we won't even get to celebrate this special day. I really missed Katie and I just wanted her back, she was always there for me and I missed waking up and hanging out with her every day.

I walked down the stairs and said good morning to my parents and Katie's and Emily's mom, Maria. The cops have decided to reopen the case and we now have a private investigator helping us in the search since the cops were not really helping. The investigator whose name was detective Robertson, has decided that we should give them the money but really it would be fake and we would trick them into giving us Katie and Emily in return.

Right now the investigator was talking to Katie's mom and telling her what to say when she contacts the people who have the girls, when they took Emily they had left a sheet with a number on it and the police had already tried to track the number down but we assume it is a number from a reusable phone so it was impossible to find any GPS coordinates from it.

" Okay, I think I'm ready." Maria's said and I could hear the shakiness in her voice. Detective Robertson nodded and then dialled the number and put it on speaker. My heart was beating quickly as the phone rang, First ring....Second ring.... Third ring....They still were not picking up and my heart beat even faster. Finally, the detective was about to hit the off button but he stopped when someone answered.

"Hello." A man's voice sounded throughout the phone and his voice made me angry.

"This is Katie and Emily's mother," Maria said with the best confidence she could gather.

"I know. Are you alone." The man asked and I knew Maria would have to lie to him and she responded with a yes.

"That's good. Do you have the money?" He asked.

"Yes but I want to make sure of something. I will give you the money but in return, you have to give me my daughters back safe." Maria stated what the detective had told her to say.

"Hmmm well, I don't know if that can be arranged." I felt my heart sink after he said that and my blood boiled.

"Well then you don't get the money," Maria told him.

"FINE! FINE!" the man yelled through the phone and I sighed in relief. After that, the man gave us the location to meet him at and he told Maria to come alone and she told him she would even though she actually wouldn't. The good thing about the briefcase that we were giving was that it had a GPS locator implanted in it so we could track down the criminals after they took the money. I was so happy that if that man had been telling the truth, we would get Katie and Emily back.

Katie's P.O.V

I was sitting on the floor staring at the two dead cops who were my chance at getting home. I wiped my tear stairs stained cheeks with the sleeve of my dirty sweater that desperately needed to be cleaned. I looked up and saw that Emilio had just entered the room, he walked over to me slowly and put the tip of his gun under my chin and forced me to look up at him
