After about fifteen minutes of sitting in darkness, the van stopped and I was dragged out. I had no clue where I was, and I wanted was to be home.
I was thrown to the floor and my ankle was tied to some sort of chain.

"W-where am I?? Who are you?? Please! I'll do anything, let me go!!"
I said through the gag.

They then took the bag off of my head and the gag out of my mouth. I got a good look at the two men. One seemed  old and scruffy, and the other seemed a bit younger. Either way, they were both fucking crazy and I knew I had to escape.

"Why, you don't recognize us?" The older man said.
I shook my head.

"C'mon sweet pea, take a good look." The older man lifted my chin. I saw all of his wrinkles, his stubble, I smelled the alcohol on his breath, and I then saw a tattoo.

It was on his right arm. It looked old.

Then I recognized it.

"D-Dad?"

Tyler's POV

I kept calling her phone and checking the time. It was 1:00AM and she wasn't home yet. I began to pace back and forth, hands on my head as I tried to reach her again.

She didn't pick up.

Then Jenna and Josh came in the door. I looked at them with sad eyes as I saw they were the only ones that arrived.

"Any luck?" I asked.
They shook their heads quietly.

"That's it, I'm calling the police."
I called 911 and told them what happened. I waited and waited.
I sat on the couch and just broke down. I'm not usually this vulnerable but that's my baby girl.

A police officer arrived at the door and I wiped my eyes.

"Hello officer." I said.

"Hi, are you Mr. Joseph?" He said.

"Yes sir."

"Well, we have a search party out for your daughter. Would you like to come out with us and help us look? We would also like to ask you a few questions if that's alright."

"No problem."

I grabbed a coat and left as Jenna and Josh followed. We hopped in our car and followed the police officer to some random part of the neighborhood, then pulled over.
We got out and I saw more police officers. One of them came up to me with blue gloves and a bag.

"Do you recognize this Mr. Joseph?" She said. I took a look and inside the bag was a pair of white oval glasses with black fingerprints on the side.

"Y-yes m'am. She was wearing those on top of her head and had black paint on her hands. That's definitely hers."

"Alright, well we are going to take the finger prints to make sure. We also found scuff marks that go towards the road. We believe that she may have been taken by someone."

I felt sick to my stomach with fear. I held tightly onto Jenna's hand and tried to stay calm.

Yet that proves to be difficult when your whole world has just been kidnapped by someone.

"Would there be anyone that you think may have something to do with this?" The lady officer asked.

"N-no. She doesn't really have any enemies, and she has no living family left, we adopted her."

The lady gave me a weird look.

"Are you sure? Because we went into our data bases and found that she still has a father and brother that's alive."

I looked at her in disbelief.

"What? How can that be, they burned in a house fire?" I said, looking for answers.

"Yes there was a house fire but their bodies were never found. The police have been chasing after the two under suspicion that they may have started the fire and conspired to murder her mother. They are also suspected of other crimes as well, but we were never able to catch them, so the case was closed."

I started to feel dizzy and light headed.

"Please find my baby. Please. If I can help you guys in any way please tell me."

"Well, does she have a phone?"
