Amanda's P.O.V

"I will go with Sam, you two go with Alec." I said and pointed to Hayden and Cole. They both nodded and I turned to Sam and started to walk until I heard someone call my name. I turned around to see an angry Bradley. I ran a hand through my hair and looked at sam who wasn't really in the mood for Bradley's talking.

"Yes?" I looked at Bradley and he walked closer to me and frowned. "I think I should be going too." Bradley said with a brow rasied as he looked at Sam and I. I was about to say something until Sam stepped forward.

"And why is that? She hardly knows you!" Sam spit, looking Bradley over like he was nothing. Bradley stepped towards Sam and smirked. "Says you. Do you even know why she ran away from your place? Because of a boy. You know what the boys name was?" Bradley looked at Sam with digust before stepping back and crossing his arms over his chest.

"His name was Sam. You. Oh, you should of seen how she looked that night. Broken. That was just one of the words that described her that night when she was crying her eyes out. I might not know her life story but just know, I was there when you obviously weren't. So, if you will excuse me, I will follow you." Bradley walked past with a proud smirk on his face then stopped and turned to face Sam again.

"Oh and Sam? Don't take too long standing there pissed just because you heard the truth. Which by the way, you didnt like." Then he walked off towards the parking lot. I looked at Sam and shook my head.

"Don't worry bout him. We need to focus on finding Winter." I said smoothly. I may not still be over the whole situation with Winter crying over this guy but that wasn't going to help us find Winter. I needed to push it behind me and concentrate.

"Fine, but that doesn't stop me from knocking him out when we find her."

Winter's P.O.V

The van stopped with a loud screech. I opened my eyes and straight away the door opened and the guys picked me up by my arms and through me out of the van. Literally.

I tightly shut my eyes and stood up, reopening then and dusting off the dirt from my knees. I looked at my arms and wiped the dirt off them too. The guys got out of the car and stood behind me. The van drove off and I looked around me. It was an old building. It looked like a work building that had been on fire a few years ago.

"Move." One of the guys pushed me forward making me stumble but I didn't fall. I walked towards the building snd we reached a door. The guy went around me and knocked on it, stepped back so he was now standing beside me. The door opened to reveal a girl. She looked around her late 20's. She was wearing a white bandana, a white t-shirt and black skinny jeans. She looked at me with a sigh and stepped back, allowing us to walk through.

We walked up a flight of stairs until we reached a black door and this time we didn't have to knock. The door opened and a man in a black suit smirked, letting us in. We walked in and I stood infront of a desk with the chair facing the wall, not letting me see who was in it. The men stood behind me in a line waiting for the person to turn the chair around also.

The chair turned and my face dropped. I wanted to run but the men instantly grabbed me, making me squeal. How did he-

"Oh sweet Winter, finally your here. I have been waiting for you."

Sam's P.O.V

Where the hell are you Winter?

We were driving around for half an hour and I was clueless. Where would she be? We checked Emmaree's place to see if Winter somehow escaped, we checked the warehouse where we had seen Kate. Now I am stuck.

I knew I was to blame. I shouldn't had got her into this stuff with Phillip. I should of known to escape when we could. Even though we did come to London, I am pretty sure Phillip isn't stupid. Where else would we go? We have no family except for Emmaree. We had to come here and obviously Phillip figured it out.

I looked at Amanda as she face plamed herself, sinking back into the chair. "I homestly don't know where she could be?" Amanda sighed. I shook my head.

"We will find her." I assured her and she looked at me with a brow rasied. "Do you think so? No seriously, do you honestly think that we will fucking find her! Your dad has no respect and he has to get his filthy-"

"Amanda, I promise." I cut her off. She looked at me and I could tell she was hurting inside. This was Winter's best friend here and I am pretty sure that she would blame herself no matter what. We need to find her.

"You don't break promises, do you?" Amanda asked and I looked at the road, a chuckle escaping my lips as I shook my head. "No Amanda. No, I don't." I said and Amanda sighed, nodding.

I turned a corner and looked in the mirror, watching Bradley on his motorbike as he followed me. I looked back on the road and noticed a black van that Phillip used to own when he did his dirty business. I looked in as it past and I noticed there was people who was wearing the same thing as the two guy who came barged into the classroom and took Winter. I did a quick U turn and followed behind them. Bradley turned and rode his bike next to the window of my car. "What the hell?" Bradley looled confused as he glanced at me a few times and I rolled my eyes.

"Just try and make the van pull over. Can you do that?" I asked him and he nodded his head before speeding off to get in front of the van. I watched as he motioned his arm over to left where the gutter was and surprisingly, the van turned and pulled the van in park once it had stopped by the gutter.

I got out of the car and motioned Amanda to follow. I realised that Amanda was pretty angry right now and when she finds out that these guys took Winter, she will go crazy. But I wasn't going to make her knock them out straight away, I was going to get what I wanted from them first.

I walked up to the window and smirked. "Hello gentleman, would you mind stepping out of the car?" The men just looked at me and I smirked more. I didn't think they knew I was Phillip's son which was good otherwise they would of grabbed some sort of weapon and hit me across the head and drive off.

They guys nodded as the both stepped out of the car.

Oh, and I was trying to come off as a police officer.

Bradley got off his bike and took his helmet off, walking towards me. "So why did you ask me to fo this?" I motioned the two guys to sit on the gutter and place there hands on their heads. I turned to Bradley and grinned. "These idiots work for Phillip and if one of his helpers took Winter, they obviously took him to Phillip." I said as I looked at the two guys sitting on the gutter laughing at what they were saying to each other. There were like dumb and dumber, literally.

"Your dad?" Bradley asked and I nodded. "I never liked him." Bradley stated and I looled at him with a chuckle. "Who ever liked him?" I said and Bradley nodded. I walked up to the two guys and held a hand up. "Just 2 minutes and I will be right with you too." I said and walked over to Amanda. Her eyes showed confusion.

"Who are these people?" Amanda asked and I rolled my eyes, expecting the question to slip out sooner or later. "These two might have taken Winter-"

"What the fuck!" She shouted, about to walk over to the two guys but I grabbed his wrist, pulling her back to me. "Before you do that, I am going to make them spill the beans on where Winter is. The only thing you have to do is when they don't respond or give us an answer, you can do what ever you like to them until they spill everything." Amanda just nodded with a proud smirk as she stood behind the two guys.

I stood infront of them with Bradley next to me. "So, what have you been doing today?"

Cole's P.O.V

We got into the van with Alec lying silently on the bed with a mask on his mouth, helping him breathe. Hayden stood next to Alec. I knew he was wanting him to wake up soon.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I had a feeling I knew how it would be. I took my phone out of my pocket and looked at my screen.

It was a text from Sam. U at the hospital yet? How's Alec? Anyway, think we got some leads on where Winter could be but we need back up with us. We need u guys. Message me when you can leave and meet us- Sam

I sighed. I knew this had something to do with Dad. He obviously has Winter. Sam probably meant by the last bit that he needed us because Phillip has helps of people working from him, protecting him. The fucking pig.

I looked at Hayden again to see that he hasn't moved. I unlocked my phone and wrote back.

Nah not yet. We'll be there soon and as for us meeting you, just hold on and we can be there in 20 mins or so. I re-read the message one more time and pressed the send button.

Winter's P.O.V

"What do you want from me!" I screamed.

The guys around me dropped me to the floor making me crouch down on one near as tears pricked in my eyes. I wanted to get out of here, now. I didnt want to be in the same room with...with...that monster! That monster killed my brother and wrecked my family and me! Now, he kidnaps me and what? Just stares at me! Oh how I want to punch your face in, Phillip.

"Winter, calm down. I'm not going to hurt you." Phillip said with a frown as he held his hand out to help me up but I refused. I glared at him and laughed.

"You've already hurt me, Phillip. Damage caused." I spat, standing up and walking backwards then made my way to one of the seats in the corner.

I felt my body shaking, my heart racing and my whole attitude changing. I wasnt that innocent, scared little girl no more. I was changing into some scary, fragile, angry girl who just wanted to be left alone.

"I know the past hasn't been good for you and your family but the past is the past. You gotta move on. You can't just keep looking back at something that already happened. You gotta into the present and focus on the future." Phillip said as he sat on his chair. He was looking at me with a frown on his face. I shook my head and glared at Phillip again.

"Yes, it has been hard, for crying out loud! We lost a family member thanks to you! I lost my brother because of you! You caused so many things that hurt us! So how can we move on? Oh thats right, we can't! You were in my past but I can't forget about you when you keep appearing in my life causing trouble! So how about you just get lost and never bother me, my family and my friends again, aye!" I said, my voice raising with every word that was coming out of my mouth.

"Winter, honestly, your need to calm down. I am only hear to talk and discuss. No hurting anyone." I ran a hand through my hair and stood up. I started to make my way to Phillip's desk.

"What are you hear to talk and discuss about, huh? You want me to work for you again? No, not happening. I don't want you killing me next like the murderer you are!" Phillip's face changed and a smirk appeared on his face.

That smirk meant trouble. It ran in the family for the Andersons. I knew that smirk ever since I met Phillip. All he did was smirk and now he was smirking in front of my face.

What are you planning, Phillip?

Sam's P.O.V

"Hows Alec?" Amanda asked as Cole and Hayden started to walk towards us. Hayden stood next to Amanda while Cole was looking at the scene in front of him.

Yeah, scene. Amanda went mental on the idiots. They refused to tell us anything, not even one thing and Amanda just started kicking, punching and yelling. The two guys were now lying on the ground, bruises and cuts everywhere from head to toe.

"He is doing good. The doctor just told us that he would be out in a few days, he just has to rest during those days." Hayden mumbled and Amanda sighed.

"Poor guy. He doesn't even know whats happening right now." Amanda said with a frown as ahe looked at the two people on the ground. I took in a deep breath and lowered my head.

Of course he doesn't know. We hardly know whats happening right now. We are just standing here with the only two possible leads lying on the floor. I just want to find Winter and explain everything. But what was really everything? What was there to explain?

'Do you even know why she ran away from your place? Because of a boy. You know what the boys name was?'

'His name was Sam. You. Oh, you should of seen how she looked that night. Broken. That was just one of the words that described her that night when she was crying her eyes out. I might not know her life story but just know, I was there when you obviously weren't.'

'Your really getting on my nerves. You decide to ignore me then try to talk to me a day later? Get out!'

I remember that night I secretly hid in Winter's room, waiting for her to enter. All the words she was saying really got to me. She was never that angry with me, she acted like she was...saving herself? I don't know why...but I wanted to know why she was ignoring me before. She had to have a good reason. She just had too.

I left my thoughts once I heard groaning coming from below. I looked at the two guys to see them moving slowly, holding their stomachs. I smirked.

Time to finally get answers!
