"Wh what are you talking about Ms Catherine?? " I asked trying to wrap my head around her last words.
By now she was sobbing loudly, unable to answer me. I heard the phone switch hands as my heart beat 10 000 times faster than usual.
"Someone kidnapped Brie," my dad's voice came over the line saying solemnly.
"WHAT!" I shouted back as I felt as if the world was closing in on me.
******* flashback *******
"Again!" Brie said to Ms Catherine who seemed exhausted from throwing the freezbie for Pax to catch.
"Maybe in a few minutes Brie Brie. I need to sit down for a little," she said as she wiped a bead of sweat away.
I chuckled, " let me help you" I told her as I led her to the nearby bench.
"How about you play with Pax, and I'll get us all some ice cream" I told Brie as she took her Eddy stuffed minion and placed it on Pax's back.
"Okay Paw Paw. Hee haw Paxie," she told him as Pax wagged his tail.
"Stay in my eyesight," I heard Ms Catherine tell her as she nodded
"Yes maam,"
I walked towards the ice cream cart as I took in the surroundings.
"Three cones please. One pistachio and two rocky roads," I ordered the ice cream as I pulled out my wallet from my jeans.
"That'll be $8.50," the man told me as I dug through trying to find the exact change. I hated having a bunch of coins weighing down my wallet.
"Where's that other nickel?" I said to myself as I heard a shrill scream.
I looked over my shoulder to see someone in a hooded jacket quickly tucking Brie underneath their arm.
"Hey! That's not your child! Brie!!!" Ms Catherine shouted as she stood up and tried chasing after them.
I dropped my wallet and began bolting in their direction.
"BRIE!!" I shouted as I crossed the footpath and onto the grass. By now the person was running as fast as they could as Brie cried out.
I passed a breathless Ms Catherine as Pax was hot on their tail, barking as he went.
"Abrianna!" I called out to her frantically as I sped up some more
Pax got to them and bit down on Brie's Eddy that she was still holding onto, but not for long. The toy slid out of her hand, causing Pax to lose momentum, with the Eddy still in his mouth.
"Someone stop that man!" I could hear Ms Catherine's faint voice behind me but there was hardly anyone in the park at this time.
"Brie!" I yelled her name as I stretched my arms, trying to pull the kidnapper's jacket but I was blindsided.
A cyclist rammed into me since I was intersecting the bicycle lane right then. I tumbled to the ground with the bike and cyclist.
"Paw paw!" I heard Brie cry my name, as I looked up to see her outstretched arms longing for me.
A car parked on the curb awaited the stranger, as they slid into the passenger seat with Brie in hand- taking off down the street.
******************
The tears ran down my face as I quickly made my way to the airport. I had been trying to call August since I got off the phone with Ms Catherine and my dad, but it went straight to voicemail.
"I need a flight back to Atlanta asap," I walked up to the airline counter and asked in desperation.
My child had been kidnapped?
I thought, still not coming to terms with this awful reality.
My phone vibrated as I quickly answered it.
"Aug?" I asked immediately
"No its Dawn. Ms Catherine told me you said you're heading to the airport?"
"Yeah," I sniffled and wiped a tear away from my face. "The next one is in...45 minutes? That's too long,"
I looked at the schedule above.
"It's the soonest one, just try to relax. The police are with us, just be strong til you get here," Dawn tried to soothe me although I could tell she was also anxious at Brie being kidnapped.
"I can't get a hold of Aug," I wimpered as fresh tears began falling.
"I told him while you and Ms Catherine were on the phone. The line went dead soon as I told him someone took Brie. But I texted T and he said they on their way back here already," she explained
I took a deep breath trying to calm my nerves, " Okay I'll see you soon. Call or message me if you here anything D,"
"Of course girl," she said sympathetically
I handed the woman my credit card as I nervously looked at the clock, just wanting to be back home right then.

August
"Whea' da fuck is ma daughter?" I walked up into da living room askin in all seriousness.
I saw da police cars out front so knew dey was in hea'.
"This is Abrianna's father," Mr Montgomery told da 3 officers.
"Mr Alsina. I'm officer-"
"Dat ain't what I asked you doe," I interrupted
"They're tryna help Aug," Dawn spoke up. It was da first time she had ever called me by ma name, and I could tell she had been cryin'.
"We put an Amber Alert out, the FBI are on there way here and our investigators are currently checking the security cameras and the traffic stops near the park. Hopefully we can get a hit on the plate,"
"Wait da park? What was she doin at a park??"
As soon as Dawn told me someone took Brie i thought it was from ha house or boutique, since she had ta sleepover thea' tonight.
"Mikaela told us we could take her since she was sad neither of you could," Ms Catherine finally spoke and said.
I took a deep breath as I rubbed my closed eye lids.
"I ain't bout ta stand round hea' and wait on these cameras. T, let's ride. Anybody know what this muufucker looks like?" I asked lookin around da room
"I didn't see his face but I know the model of the car," Felix told me
"Let's go," I said as I motioned ta him.
I was in search mode. Big T passed me his spare gun as we got out da view of da cops. A nigga was tryna die ta'night takin ma daughter

Mikaela
A few hours later.
Dawn and I pulled up to my house as I ran in hoping the police had any updates for us between the 15 minutes she left the house to come pick me up.
"Nothing?" I searched Ms Catherine's face for any clues but she shook her head sadly.
My heart sank to an even lower level which I didn't even know existed before then.
The phones in the house and my iphone were ringing uncontrollably, as our family and friends tried to reach us.
"I'll get that," Dawn said trying to make herself useful.
"We're tracing all calls- in case the assailant calls with a ransom," a female officer said before following Dawn.
I sat down with Ms Catherine as she explained to me detail by detail how it happened.
I held onto Brie's Eddy praying that this was just a nightmare I'd wake up from.
"You're father ran into the cycling path, maybe trying to create a shortcut to intercept them but he got knocked down,"
"He ran into the cyclist lane? " I questioned her, finding this odd.
The lane was always busy and not to mention not an actual shortcut to get to the main road. If he was tryna cover ground and catch the kidnapper he could've just ran through the swings, I thought as I remembered the set up of the park.
She nodded.
I thought back to how apprehensive my dad looked when I mentioned paparazzi probably being at the park....but my thoughts got cut short as August entered the room.
"August!" I stood up and ran into his arm, holding onto him tightly.
He placed an arm across me.
"We came ta get those floodlights in da garage. We checkin the abandoned vehicles near da old train tracks," he said as Big T came in
"The Motherfucker might try hiding out there for the night since the police are all over the highways," T added.
Just then my dad walked in behind T, and what Ms Catherine told me came back to me.
"You." I said letting go of August.
Everyone frowned at how callous that "you" sounded.
"You know where she is don't you?" I walked up to my dad as my anger built up.
"You helped them take her! Didn't you!!"
***************
