Stone's POV:

Alice would be sitting in her first class right now if she was still here. I sent my men on the cameras job, they just updated me saying the last camera footage taken was somewhere before a highway an hour away from here. They're already searching all the areas after that.

I haven't slept at all, not one second did I close my eyes, because if I did, I'll just imagine how scared she must be right now, and it would break my heart. Besides, there's no time to waste by sleeping.

I'm sitting at the warehouse right now, waiting for anything, any news, just... anything.

My thoughts are interrupted with my phone ringing, "So?" I say through the phone as I immediately stand up.

"Collin quit yesterday. They just announced it." Steph says from the other end. That motherfucker, I know he has something to do with this.

"FUCK!" I scream through the phone before hanging up. Where the fuck is that guy?

Alice's POV:

"Good morning!" I jump at the sound of Collin's voice as he enters the room. I flutter my eyes open and smile as I realize how sunny the bedroom is. In a sunny day like this Stone would have taken me somewhere beautiful, I bet. But my smile quickly fades away as I come back to my miserable reality.

Collin sits beside me on the bed and leans down and kisses me. Now I know what morning sickness feels like.

"I need to use the bathroom." I whisper and close my eyes shut at the strong burning of my throat. I haven't drank anything since yesterday, my stomach is growling and I'm pretty thirsty.

"Yeah, alright." Collin says and stands up. He walks out the bedroom and comes back after a few seconds. The shock is obvious on my face as I stare at the bucket in his hands. He wants me to use the bucket.

"Collin..." I say as tears start forming in my eyes. This is just so inhumane.

"Alice, I'm sorry, you lost my trust the last time."

"Collin, please, I'm begging you, let me use an actual bathroom, I'll leave the door open, I just really need to pee, please." I plead and look at him with sad eyes. Thankfully, he has some humanity left in him, because he puts the bucket down on the floor.

"Fine. Fine, okay. But you're leaving the door open this time. And don't even bother trying anything." he says as he points a finger at me.

He unties my legs before walking towards me and starts taking out stuff from his pockets. He places on the bedside table a pocketknife, a pack of cigarettes, and... a cellphone.

I remember hiding the fork underneath me and my plan quickly comes into mind.

He takes out his gun, as usual, and points it at me before taking out the handcuffs key and unlocks one of them. I unlock the other wrist and give him the tiny key back.

"Collin?"

"Yeah?"

"I need to tell you something." I say.

"What is it?"

"Can you lower your gun first?"

"Alice-"

"I'm serious. Just lower it a bit, I promise I won't try anything, I just want to... hold your hand."

He believes me and lowers the gun a bit as he reach his other hand out. I take it in mine and look him in the eyes.

"You changed your mind about that psychopath?" he smiles. Wow, if Stone is a psychopath, what is he?

"Yeah, I did... my feelings for you never faded..." I smile at him.

"Really?" he asks and lowers his gun even more.

"No, you psycho." I say and pull my hand away, pulling out the fork from under me and quickly stabbing him in the neck with it.

"FUCK!" he shouts and drops his gun to the floor before both his hands go to his neck.

I grab his cellphone and rush out the room, dialing the only number I have memorized. Stone's. I didn't even have time to take the gun. It all happened in a matter of seconds.

I shake as I press the numbers the same time I'm running down the stairs. I can hear him behind me, struggling to run and keep up with me.

I press the call icon and start looking for the front door. This house is tiny but I'm sure Collin made it as maze-like as possible.

"Hello?" I start crying as I hear Stone's voice through the phone, "Who is this?" I can hear the panic in his voice, it breaks my heart.

"Please come and save me." I whisper through the phone.

"Alice?" he says and his breath becomes quicker. "Oh my god, Alice." now I can hear the relief in his voice.

"It's Collin." I say and hang up the second I realize I'm in the kitchen. I throw the phone up so it lands above the cabinets and it does. If Collin finds it he'll get rid of it so Stone won't ever find me.

I grab the first knife I can find and turn around the same time Collin enters this kitchen.

"Don't even FUCKING think about getting any closer!" I shout at him with the knife pointed at him. He has a cloth pushed up against his bleeding neck.

"You might want to change your mind about that." he says and pulls out his gun, pointing it at me.

I breathe in and out as I look at that gun, and I eventually throw the knife aside. I drop to the floor and start crying out loud. I hug my legs as I bury my face between my knees and sob.

"You can never beat me." he says as he gets closer to me. "And you'll never, ever, see that front door in your life." he says as he leans down to my level and whispers in my ear. "Now, come on, stand up, we're going back to the bedroom."

I stand up and wipe my tears away, glaring at him before he ushers for me to walk in front of him.

"Oh, and you're peeing in the bucket. That's your punishment."

I don't say anything to that. I'm done.

Stone's POV:

Hearing her voice was everything I needed.

I'm so furious right now I'm scared I might kill the first person I see. All I can see is red. Images of that sick fuck kidnapping Alice, holding her captive, him touching her, they're powering my rage.

I run to the warehouse's computer lab, pushing away every person I see. "Axel. I need all men here, right now. I found her." I say through the phone, not bothering to hear what Axel has to say.

I might have hundreds of men working for me, but right now, I waste no time in using that computer myself. I may be a gang leader, but I'm a tech expert myself.

I crazily start typing through that keyboard, maybe breaking a few pieces of it, and widen my eyes as I look at the location in front of me. Only three hours away. Three hours until that piece of shit's life changes from bad to worse.

I walk out the computer lab and down to the main room only to find that my men are already here. They all look at me, waiting for me to say something. "Lets fucking get that bastard." I say and rush out the warehouse, everyone following behind me.

I'm coming for you, my Alice.
