Marc's POV

We quickly arrive at the scene and we jump out and run to where Alex is sitting on the sidewalk with his head in his hands.

"What the hell happened, Alex?"

"We were on the way home and out of the blue an suv slammed into us and we went flying. All I remember is two big guys dressed in black come in and grab the girls and leave. They had masks on so I didn't get a look at them." Alex answers. I have never seen him so distraught.

"How long ago, Alex?" Damian asks.

"Maybe an hour ago."

Let's get back to the house and get Jake on it. There are several cameras around here. See if we can get a license plate. I've got our guys coming to clean up and get the car back." Damian says as he heads back to our car, Alex and I follow.

"If they harm a hair on their heads, they will wish they were dead!"

We head back to the house, grab Jake and head into Damian's office. Jake hacks into the camera feed and we barely can see two men get out of the car and grab our unconscious ladies and put them in the back and drive off. Jake is able to look it up and we see it belongs to Thomas O'Malley.

"That son of a bitch is dead!"

"Cam down, I will make some phone calls and see if we can locate where he is. We will get them back safe and sound." Damian tries to reassure me. It's not helping much.

He makes a few calls, one of is to Mr. Mancini who says he will send some of his men to help bring the girls back. Jake is trying to find where they would take them. It's proving to be a little tricky. It is driving me crazy that she is out there somewhere and he is doing who knows what to her. I have failed her again. I keep breaking my promises to her. After several hours the guys Mancini sent over have arrived and one of them is a hacker too. He brings in his things and goes to work helping Jake. Hopefully they will find them quicker. It is getting late and I go lay down but I can't sleep. I am so worried for her and Cas. I miss her so much. I head down to the bar and find Damian sitting down with whiskey in hand and I go to pour me one.

"Have they found anything, yet?" I ask as I sit down next to him and swallow the liquid. It burns as it travels down my throat and I feel the warmth spread across my body.

"Not yet, but I think they are close."

"Do you think he will hurt them?"

I hope not or he will suffer."

We were sitting there into early morning hours talking, trying to keep each other calm. We eventually passed out after finishing off a few bottles of whiskey. It was afternoon when we finally woke up. I think everyone was trying to let us sleep because they knew we were stressed out, and lord help them, they had not found anything. Damian was getting angry, and started threatening people. It was several days and we heard Jake finally holler from the office for us to come in and that they had finally found out where they might be.

"Looks like they have a warehouse about an hour outside the city. It has a house on the property and we sent a team up there to scout out the place. They said they have seen a lot of activity there and O'Malley has been there a lot." He says with a smile.

"Did they say how many guys they had there?" Damian asks.

"About ten outside, and at least five inside."

"Alright, we take Mancini's men which are ten and then of ours. Everyone gets a vest and an earpiece. We split up. Ten with me and ten with Marc. My team goes in the front and Marc's in the back. Alright we head out at 10. Let's get loaded." Damian commands.

Riley's POV

I wake up and my head feels like it is going to explode.l I try to get up and I can't move. What is going on? I try to open my eyes but the light hurts my eyes. I slowly open my eyes and I see I am in a room and I look to see I am tied to a bed. I hear a door open and I see Thomas walk in. He comes and sits down next to me and cups my cheek and I try to get away from him.

"Sweetheart, there is no reason to struggle. I told you, you would be mine. You are absolutely beautiful and after we are wed, you will be mine forever." He says with a smirk.

"I will never marry you! Marc will come for me."

"You will marry me or your friend dies."

Oh, no! Cas is here too. I can't let anything happen to her.

"YOu be a good girl and I might let you out of these restraints."

He leans down to kiss me and I try to push back the bile that tries to come up. He gets up and leaves. I hear the door lock and I start to cry.

"Please Marc, find me soon! I don't know how long I have."

I am not sure how long I have been here and if Cas is okay. They bring me food and water several times a day. They have let me out of my restraints since I have been doing what they say. I don't have any windows so I don't know if it is day or night or how long I have been here. I have not slept wee, worrying about Cas and if they will ever find us. All of a sudden I hear loud noises, like gun fire. What is going on? All of a sudden the door flies open and Marc comes in the door. He runs over to me and I collapse in his arms, and I begin to sob.

"Princess, it's okay. You're safe. I've got you. Let's get you home." he picks me up and carries me out.

"What about Cas? He has her too."

"Damian has her. He is already outside." We head out to the suv and he places me inside.

"Did we get O'Malley?" Marc asks Damian as he climbs in next to me.

"No, he got away! Let's get the girls home, and regroup. We will look for him again."

We head back to the manor and I have curled up and lay my head on Marc's lap. Cas is curled into Damian's arm. He is trying to calm her down.l We are soon back at the manor and Marc carries me up to the room, sets me down on the bed, and heads into the bathroom. He soon comes back and carries me into the bathroom and sets me down. He has set a warm bubble bath for me. He helps me undress and then helps me slip into the bath. He then undresses and slips in behind me. He applies soap to my bath scrunchie and starts to wash me.

"I am so sorry Princess. Yet again I couldn't protect you. This is all my fault."

"It is not your fault. That man is crazy and doesn't know boundaries. You can't prevent everything. It would only drive you crazy. I am akay, just a little tired."

We sit in the bath as he washes me then gives me a massage. Once the water begins to get cold, he gets out first and then helps me get out, drying me off. After he dries us both off, we head into the bedroom. I slip on a nightie and he puts on some boxer briefs and we crawl into bed. He pulls me into him and holds me like he is never gonna let go. I quickly fall asleep. I wake up and it is still dark outside. The bedside clock says it is two a.m. I sit up and feel like something isn't right. My stomach just doesn't feel right. I head downstairs, looking for maybe some ginger ale. Maybe that would help. I get into the kitchen and all of a sudden I feel something warm running down my legs. I flip on the lights and look down. I see blood flowing down. I fall against the counter bracing myself.

"Marc! Help!"

I fall down on the floor and try to call for him again. It comes out as a whisper and soon I drift into black.

Marc's POV

Something wakes me up and I sit straight up. I look over and the bed is empty. I look around and I can't find her. I get up and the bathroom is dark. Where could she be. I call for her and I get no answer. So I head downstairs and look for her. Maybe she couldn't sleep and she is down here somewhere. She's not in the living room. I start to panic. What if she left. I see a light in the kitchen and head in. Maybe she just came down to get some water. I turn the corner and there she is laying against the kitchen counter in a pool of blood. I run over to her and kneel down next to her. Where is the blood coming from. I look her over and I see it is coming from between her legs. This can't be happening. Just one more thing to add to the list of things to hate me for. I can't lose her, she is my whole world. What do I do? I have got to pull it together. I start yelling for help.

"Damian! Alex! Help me! Something is wrong with Riley! Guys, wake up! I need you!"

Alex is the first to come down and then Damian.

"What's wrong, Mar.....Oh my god! What happened?"

I'll call an ambulance!" Damian says as he grabs his phone.

"I don't know. I woke up and she was not in bed so I went to look for her and found her like this." I cry.

"Ambulance should be here in ten. I will go get you clothes so you can go with her." Damian says as he heads back upstairs.

Time just stood still. I don't know how much time went by until the ambulance arrived. The paramedics came in to take care of her. Damian had gotten me clothes and I headed off with them. Damiaqn had gone to get Cas and the three of them followed behind. We arrived at the hospital and they would not let me back with her. The nurse led me to the family waiting room. I am pacing the waiting room when Damian, Alex and Cas arrive.

"Anything?" Alex asks as they come in the room.

"No, they wouldn't let me back and they won't tell me anything yet. I'm so scared. I can't lose her, guys. What am I going to do?"

"She's a fighter, man. Look at what she has been through all ready. She will get through this." Damian says trying to comfort me.

"She is a stubborn girl and strong willed." Cas adds.

They all hug me, and try to reassure me. It helps a little but I am so scared I am going to lose her either way. Please God, just let her come back to me. Let her live. If she leaves me because I have caused everything that has happened, then I will let her go. She doesn't deserve this. I would walk away if she left just so she could live. It has been several hours and I don't think I have cried so much in my entire life. I am sitting in one of the chairs with my head in my hands. The doctor walks through the doors.

"Family for Riley Foster?"
