Sam's P.O.V

"You better start fucking talking!" Amanda screamed as Hayden held her back in case she hurt one of the guys badly.

"Amanda please! Be patient!" Hayden said to Amanda, fear and worry dripping in his tone. I looked down at the guys and saw that the first one was shaking his head as he held his nose, blood dripping onto his hand. The second dude was holding his hands over his head in fear, trying to stop Amanda from kicking his head, which she had been doing for the past ten minutes.

"I have been patient! They should just speak the fuck up already and stop being shit heads!" Amanda glared at one of the guys and the guy that was holding his hands above his head finally put them down and stood up with his hands up in the air.

"Fine, we will tell! Just please don't hurt us!" The guy said and a smirk immediately made its way on my face. Ha, finally.

"Fina- fucking- ly!" Amanda groaned as she ran a hand through her hair. Hayden started talking to her and Bradley and Cole stood next to me. I noticed they both had smirks on their faces.

"Okay, tell us where Winter Monroe is."

Kelly's P.O.V

"Please sir, my daughter has been begging for me to come and see her. You can't just cancel my only visit to see her, can you?" I begged as soon as I walked into my boss' room where he laid back in the chair, enjoying the breeze from the window to his left.

He faced me and smirked. "Are you ever going to drop this, Kelly? You have a job to do. I'm sure she isn't dying or anything. She can wait." My jaw dropped at this.

"H-how...dare you! You don't know what situation her and I are in right now and when she says she needs me, she means it! I just can't listen to you and expect that she is going to wait?" I explained, my voice getting louder by each word.

Honestly, I have been working for this asshole for 10 and a half years and I am this is what I get? I am his best worker! He can't just say that my daughter will wait for me! She needs me now and if he can't accept the fact that I need to go-

"Kelly, you need to relax. Just chill and enjoy what you are doing now. Get your mind off your daughter and get back to work. Just because you are the best worker I have, does not mean that I will treat you different. I know you guys are going through a rough situation but she is old enough to handle herself. I'm sure she isn't alone." I gritted my teeth and walked forward towards his desk, my anger rising ever second that I looked at my boss.

"What! Are you insane! Do you even have children, Mr Swann? Do you what it feels like to worry everyday about your daughter or son? Everytime I am not with her, I feel like she is always in trouble! And you can't just sit there saying these incredibly insane things about waiting and not worrying!" I yelled and banged my fist on the desk, making Mr Swann turn his full attention to me.

He sighed. "No I don't have any kids, but I know what you mean. I feel the same way about my mother. She is very sick and I want to be by her side all day and all night but I have a job to do. Kelly, just understand that if you want to go and see yoir daughter, I'll have to let you go and you know how hard it is to get a job like this. Just please-"

"I quit. Mr Swann, it was nice working for you and all but I need to be there for my daughter." I say quickly before leaving and heading to my room to go pack.

Winter, stay strong baby. I'm coming.

Sam's P.O.V

"So this is the place.." Cole muttered as we all looked around. There was just a big building but it looked damaged and wrecked. Like a fire was caused here. There were the same vans from before all parked up in one straight line in a parking lot next to building. Ugh, pathetic bastard.

This was definitely the place though.

"I am going in." Amanda growled as she started walking towards the building. We all shared looks then chose to follow her. What harm could she cause...oh possibly every single crime in the world, of course!

We reached a door and it looked like it was being guarded on the other side. I just knew it. Bradley went to go knock on it but I reached for his wrist and pulled it back. He looked at me with a frown. "Explain?" Bradley said as he rubbed his wrist. I ignored Bradley and looked up, seeing that this building must have at least 50 floors. I ran a hand through my hair and looked at Cole.

"We need a plan, don't we?" I asked and Cole looked at me before shaking his head.

Mr Know It All, I swear...

"We don't know whats going on in that building right now, we gotta move fast." Cole said and I took in a deep breath before nodding.

Dear god, I know I haven't done this praying thing before but I am begging you to keep Winter safe, prevent any dangers that are coming her way until we get up to the room she is in.

I nodded on the door and a loud grunt was heard making me furrow a brow. The door swung open and I was shocked what had started to come out of her mouth.

"You fucking idiots should be ashamed, working for that crazy dickhead- oh, who are you?" I immediately frowned. Was that supposed to be directed to the guys in the van? The ones we were hurting just to get answers to find Winter? Hmm, sounds like them since she said 'idiots'...

"Uh, who are you?" Amanda looked at the girl like she was trash. I rolled my eyes and gently pushed Amanda out of the way so now I was in front of the girl.

Should I say that we were looking for Winter? Is she working for Phillip? Oh what the heck, here goes nothing.

"We are looking for Winter." I say bluntly, keeping a straight face as the girl looked us all over. She looked at me and stepped forward. Surprisingly, she was the same height as me so she looked me straight in the eyes, stepped back and smirked.

"Sam?" I rose a brow and crossed my arms over my chest. "Thats my name."

"Oh finally, your father is such an asshole! His men took Winter up on top floor where Phillip is waiting and I don't know what they are going to do but Phillip is up to something." The girl shook her head and frowned. Amanda coughed and looked at the girl.

"If he is an asshole, why you working for him then." I saw a smirk appear on the girl's face. She stepped closer towards all over us and whispered, "I'm actually a cop. I have been trying to catch Phillip doing his dirty work and finally it has all paid off. I don't know how he became an officer in the first place but one thing was for sure that it was because he didn't want people to suspect anything. He got rid of all his past files and made a fake one. But he didn't realise that I was number one at my job. So, I've called backup and they are coming soon. Better go get Winter quickly."

"Oh and do you know a guy named Hector Sullivan and a girl named Sally Winston?" I immediately clenched my fist at the sound of that douche's name and wait...Sally?

"Yeah I know them both." Bradley said suddenly, causing me to turn and face him. He just smirked at me and turned to the girl, waiting for the girl to comtinue. Instead she just got out a note pat and a pen, scribbled a few things on it and handed it to Bradley. "Tomorrow morning can you come and meet me at the station? Just for questioning." Bradley nodded and suddenly Amanda smiled and hugged the girl.

"Thank you, uh..." Amanda looked at the girl before she chuckled and smiled at Amanda. "Lucy."

"Thank you Lucy." Amanda said with a smile before letting go of her. Amanda turned to us and smirked. "Time to end all this!"

Winter's P.O.V

"Don't come near me!" I held the pole close to me, reading to swing at any of the men who wanted to make their way towards me. Phillip just smirked some more, enjoyimg the situation I was currently in before making it all stop.

He clicked his fingers and the men stopped moving towards me and stood over near the door, making me slowly lose grip of the pole.

Then a knock on the door make me grip at it again. Great.

"Open it boss?" One of the men said and I looked in his direction and he just kept looking at me but answered them with a nod. Now I had two places to look. Phillip, to see if he was going to make a move to try and attack me and the door, to see who would come in.

Then the door opened and my mouth suddenly dropped. What...was he doing here! And what was she doing with...him!

He walked over to Phillip and whispered a few words to him before turning to me. He smirked and started to walk towards my direction. Not good. Oh I am so toast. Kill me now so I don't have to deal with the pain!

"Hello love, glad to see your beautiful face again." Hector sweetly smiled at me but I just stared at him.

Shock, curiosity, fear, confusion...just some of the emotions that were running through my body.

Hector chuckled and raised his hand and lifted my chin, making me look straight into his grey eyes. Those powerful eyes that made me put myself in the situation of meeting him.

"Hector..." Sally said, causing Hector to look at me once more before letting go of my chin. He turned aroumd and walked up to Phillip while Sally looked at me.

Why are you with him, Sally. He will hurt you! I am sure of it. What ever he has convinced you to do, drop out of it now before its too late!

Sally walked over to me and smirked. She bent down so she wasn't towering over me and nodded. "Hello Winter." How she said my name like that gave me chills. It made me remember the first time I saw her and she said my name. At the diner when I was with Sam. I hardly knew her, how would she know my name?

"Sam! It's been too long! What can I do for you today?" The girl smiled and Sam smiled back.

"Hey Sally and it has definitely been way too long. I'll just get 2 cheese burger meals." Sam said and slid a twenty dollar bill towards Sally.

"I'll come back with your order in a few." She smiled and turned her gaze to me and waved before heading towards the kitchen.

She looked so nice and innocent when I first saw her now, with Hector, I started to re think things.

Suddenly, Sally came with our food. "Hey guys." Sally said with a big smile.

"Enjoy you two." She said and she looked at me with a nod.

"Winter." She said and walked away. I furrowed my eyebrows and noticed that Sam's head shot up when she said my name.

Then I felt like the colour on my face had been drained out of it, cauimg me to groan as I held my head. Sally just kept smirking like she was enjoying what was happening here.

Sally was never innocent, I mean, Sam isn't innocent. Why would Sally know Sam? They obviously know each other from the past and I know Sam's past wasn't the best back then. And the past had Hector in it...could the 3 have all been in a gang or something? How do the three know each other cause Sally knows Sam and Hector. That means that had to be doing something in the past that made Sam become friends with Sally and Hector becoming friends with Sally but Sam and Hector not.

Oh Sam you have some explaining to do!

I suddenly felt my head was dizzy, probably from all the thinking.

"Hey Winter don't pass out on me now, I havent even explained why I brought you here." I heard Phillip's voice in front of me making my eyes go wide. He handed me a bottle of water and I looked at it, wondering if he had put something in it. Phillip rolled his eyes and shoved the water in my face, wanting me to take it. I glared at him then the bottle.

If he put something in this, he better survive his life alive while I am haunting him to make him have a heart attack.

I took a sip and sighed. I closed the bottle and laid it on my lap. Now, the dizziness was going away.

"You mean kidnapped." I corrected Phillip with a glare. Phillip just sighed and brought a chair over to sit on it, facing me while Sally and Hector was behind him watching me with smirks.

I was seriously over the smirks now, I have seen too many people smirking and if one more person smirks, I going to kill them.

"What do you want." I say it more like a statement instead of a question. Phillip laid back in his chair and grinned.

"I want you to come and work for me again. And if you don't-"

Someome barged into the room and I groaned. Another one of Phillip's stupid workers. Honestly how can they work for this monster? If they saw the real him I am sure they would not be working for Phillip right now.

Wait- did he just say what I think he just said 5 seconds ago...

'I want you to come and work for me again.'

What! You have got to be kidding me! Who in earth does this man think he is! Oh karma is going to bite you so hard!

The only reason I was never ever ever going to work with Phillip Anderson was because he is a monster. Ever since I met him thats all he has been, a monster. He killed my brother! Why would I put myself in that same situation that he was in! Does it look like I am asking for a death wish! And I would never put my mom in that place again ever since she heard the news about Kyle. I wanted to be there for her, not die! My mom is still fragile...everytime she looks at me she would always say that I was a spitting image of Kyle but I never believed that. I never argued about it though because I was the sister or Kyle and except for the images, I was the only real life, breathing human that was close to Kyle. Maybe not when we were younger but when we were with Phillip we were so close and we always had smooth talks. But now he isn't here cause of this monster in front of me. Who would kill their wife's best friends son? Oh yeah, Phillip Anderson thats who!

The guy walked up to Phillip and whispered a few things into his ear which made Phillip's eyes widen. I was the one grinning now. Obviously something he didn't want to hear? Oh such amusement to me.

The guy stepped back as Phillip looked me straight in the eye, his figure showing not sign of playing around and his face was stern and serious as well. "Okay, lets make this quick. If you dont come work with me again, you will not see your friend or my sons again. You will not even see your mother and if you tell someone...lets just say it will not end well for them." Phillip looked back then leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms over his chest as he looked at me, his lips in a straight line.

If you dont come work with me again, you will not see your friend or my sons again. You will not even see your mother and if you tell someone...lets just say it will not end well for them. Was that supposed to be some sort of threat?

"Is that a threat towards my friends and my mother?" I asked, curiosity running through every single bit of my body.

He didn't answer, he just continued on what he was talking about 3 seconds ago.

"You have 24 hours to think. You will be saying at Emmaree's for those 24 hours and when that time is up, I'm coming to get you with a yes or a no. No questions or excuses. And even if you think of leaving or running away...think again because I have a lot of connections and people will see what you are up too. Not 24/7 but when you leave the house. Remember, I will know if you tell someone about this offer, and if I do hear about you speaking to someone about this, its over for your mother and your friends. No connections to them...at all." I was stunned. Adrenaline was running through my body, wanting to punch him or throw this bottle at him. I wanted to hurt him one hundred times more than he is hurting me now.

I will know if you tell someone about this offer, and if I do hear about you speaking to someone about this, its over for your mother and your friends. No connections to them...at all.

I wanted to burst into tears right there. That sounded very much as a threat and who could possibly think it wasnt? The words, his tone, his posture...it told everything.

He was going to hurt my friends and family if I did tell.

Sam's P.O.V

Level 45...46...47...

"Can this honestly go any slower?" Amanda groaned as she ran a hand through her hair. I rolled my eyea. I think that question was going on in everyones minds. And if it wasnt, I don't know what was.

As soon as we got in the elevator, Cole pointed out that this building had 63 floors. I know, 13 more that I thought. And at this rate, we were probably going to reach floor 63 in 10 minutes if this thing isn't goimg to speed up. I dont know whats going to happen to Winter or whats happening to her right at this minute! For some reason, I was having some wierd thoughts of Winter. Not bad thoughts though. Like when we were hanging out.

I remember that time when we were in the pool at 4am in the morning and we were laughing and smiling, expect when we were both perving at each other. That was hilarious actually.

I remember the party and Winter and I were on the roof talking. She looked absolutely breath taking that night, I swear! All the boys wanted to run to her side as soon as she entered the door. Winter may have not seen it but I sure did. But I liked it when we talked, the conversation was flowing nicely and her smile, god, her smile! How many times she smiled that night...

I also remembered when I grabbed her hand sometimes and she would always looked so confused but I knew she didn't want to let go. Neither did I. Her warm hand was so comforting in so many ways. It was like holding Harper's hand while we crossed the road since she always had a fear of crossing the road while someone beside her. Winter reminded me of her so much honestly...

Ding

I looked up to see we reached floor 63 already. Wow that was quick. Probably because I was stuck in my thoughts half the time.

There was only one room in front of us and it was shut. We all exchanged looked then nodded.

I am so hoping Winter isnt near the door...

I ran up towards the door and lifted my leg, pushing it against the door and I watched as it fell to the ground with a massive thud. The first pair of eyes that ment mine were the blue ones that were in the corner of the room, showing fear, hope, confusing and relief. But it showed more of a guilt sort of look.

Winter looked at me and she smiled slightly and I returned it. Her eyes wondered off to the people behind me probably looking at the scene. I noticed Phillip was sitting right in front of Winter with a smirk on his face. "Hello son, I knew you were going to be here soon." Phillip chuckled and I stepped into the room while Hayden, Cole, Bradleyß and Amanda stood beside me, glaring at everyone else in the room while I was only looking at one.

"Whats so funny?" I glared at Phil and he chuckled again, making me want to grab his neck and start choking him. But I stopped myself. I had to be prepared for what ever was going to happen next.

"You can take her. We are finished talking." Phillip looked at Winter and nodded his head towards us. Winter's face only showed guilt...still. Seriously, what was that look for.

While Winter was looking at Phillip, I notices that Sally and Hector was here. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and looked at Sally who was smirking in my direction already. Hector on the other hand was too buzy looking at Winter.

Winter finally stopped looking at Phillip and stood up from her chair as she walked over to us slowly until Hector gtabbed her hand, making me step forward but Cole hold me back.

Hector whispered something to Winter before dismissing her. She walked over to Amanda and hugged her. I looked back at Sally and she was sending me one of those 'we will see each other soon' looks. I glared at her before turning to Phillip.

I can't believe my own father would go and kidnap someone just to talk. But I knew they weren't actually talking. I know Phillip and Winter and I know thats not how these to act towards each other. Talking like old pals...no.

"You can go son, all is good. Just look forward to a little visit soon. It will be fun." Phillip's last words got to me as soon as they left his mouth.

'It will be fun.' Well, since when was any visit from him fun? This means he was up to something, something I wasnt going to like obviously.

Hey people! You know how I said I wanted to end the last chapter a little early because of how many words and that, funny thing was that this chapter actually ended at 4000, haha!

Anyway, little update about my life right now. I have this problem I want to share with ya. So I got a new teacher for maths and she is alright but she is way too strict with the whole 'complete your work otherwise a detention' like bruh, really? I seriously want my old teacher back :(

I have 2 questions for all you people reading.

1) Have you ever complained to a teacher when they tell you to take your headphones out? (But if your a good girl/boy and listens to the rules, you guys are amazing and cool! I respect y'all) What was your reason if you wanted to keep them in?

The person who gets that question closest to my responce with get a chapter dedication and a vote and a comment on all your chapters of your book. Only one book though, so make it a good choice and if you only have one, I will read it...if you get that question right!

2) Do you hate maths? Why or why not?

This question doesn't have a prize since I just want to know peoples opinions about this horrible subject. Well thats what I think anyway.

Oh and about the book, what do you think of Phillip's offer to Winter? What do you think she will say?

Will she tell someone or stick to not spilling the beans?

What about Hector and Sally? What are your thoughts on them?

What about the cop that is working for Phillip? Will it end good or bad?

What do you think of this chapter? Share your thoughts by COMMENTING or you can press the little star and VOTE!

Btw, I have said this a thousand times...there will be mistakes in this book and when this book is finished...you people should know the rest. Anyway...

Love you people! Xx
