Tim's pov:

As we finish packing together I reminisce on the previous week.

Lucy) "You ready to leave in 2 minutes?"

Tim) "This week has been the best of my life. "

Lucy smiled

Lucy) "And it's only beginning.."

She kissed me and we both left Colorado to get in the car and start the journey home ——————————————————

Most of the drive she was asleep. I think we were both just exhausted but ready to start this amazing new life together.

At one point I decided to pull over to a gas station to use the restrooms and buy a snack for us.

As I walked in there were so many choices and I probably bought a little too much but it's fine...right? I mean we did still have 6 hours on the drive left.

As soon as I reach the checkout counter a dark dressed guy walks in

unknown guy) "EVERYBODY DOWN ON THE GROUND!!! THIS IS A ROBBERY!"

I turn around and see him...

Tim) "Emmett..." ——————————————————

No Lucy... She was tired so I told her to stay in the car and lock the doors but this is not good..

Emmett) "ON THE GROUND TIM"

He pointed a gun to my head and demanded cash from the register

Crap this is my honeymoon. I was supposed to not have to worry about carrying my gun everywhere... But my backup is in the trunk of our car..

Tim) "Listen... Emmett... Why are you doing this? This people are innocent okay?..."

I say with my hands up

Emmett) "EVERYBODY GIVE ME YOUR PHONES!!"

Emmett says as people start sliding their phones across the floor.

Except Tim grabbed something off the shelf that had the same shape as a phone and slid it to him hoping he wouldn't notice. And he didn't thankfully

When Emmett's back was turned for a split second Tim dialed 911 on his phone and put it on the shelf to listen on to what is happening.

Emmett smiled to everyone he was keeping hostage

Emmett) "It's time for all of us to go on a little ride.." ——————————————————

Lucy's pov: *Flashback a few minutes back*

I sat there patiently waiting for my husband to get back. And I look over to my right..

No

It can't be.. that's Emmett??? But... How is he out of Jail??!! No..I grab my phone and dial 911 and then after, Angela.

Emmett is walking in and Tim is in there.. unarmed..

After calling 911; my hands still shaking I dial Angela .... ......... .... Dang it Angela! Pick up!

Angela) "Hello? Lucy?"

Lucy) "Angela! I Don't know what to do I'm panicking! I-

Angela) "Woah!! Lucy take a breath! Tell me what happened"

I tried to breathe but it was so hard to

Lucy) "Tim and I stopped at a gas station. And I already called 911 but Emmett w..walked in"

Angela) "WHAT"

Lucy) "I don't think I saw a gun but Tim's in t..there and he was wearing all black and I don't know if he's okay.."

Angela) "Lucy he's gonna be okay... Just breathe. He's smart okay. I need you to stay in your car though. Lock the doors. Tell me if you see anything else okay? We sent extra people to your location."

Lucy) "But we're like 6 hours out? You guys won't make it in time??!"

Angela) "The cops in your town will get there and deal with it first. I'm on the line with them. Lucy. Do you see anything else?"

Lucy) "Uhhhh.. no... Angela... I'm scared, Tim doesn't have his gun with him..." ——————————————————

Tim's pov a little earlier:

3 other strangers and I are shoved and locked into a black van behind the gas station and Emmett speeds off as soon as I start to hear sirens.

I put my finger up to my mouth to motion others to be quiet, they nod and I quietly get out my phone where Emmett can't see.

I look at the top right of my screen

2%?!? Really?!

I quickly turn on my location and try to text Lucy discreetly

Tim) "Luce! I'm okay. We are in a black van heading South maybe? I'm not sure the van has no side windows. Didn't get license plate number. Emmett took me and 3 other people in side. Not sure where he is planning on taking us but I have no weapons and If I try to make a move he might kill us. He has a gun! I repeat he is armed... I love you Lucy.."

As soon as I hit send my phone dies and turns off. Crap. It probably didn't go through. I lean my head against the van side as a tear falls down my cheek. I just want. her

Over 2 hours later we stop at this warehouse that is extremely sketchy. We walk in and there is blood at multiple spots on the floor.. ——————————————————

Lucy's pov: I hang up on Angela And as soon as I do I see a van in the back of the gas station drive off. I hear sirens in the distance but I just can't wait anymore. I duck while getting out of the car and opening the trunk to search through Tim's luggage, after digging through clothes for a minute i find his gun and start to walk inside.

No... I open the door and see blood on different spots on the floor, cash on the ground and no one in sight.. I check all the back rooms, corners and outside...no one... Why is all this happening?? And at the end of our honeymoon of all things

Reinforcement opened the doors and I showed them my badge and they continued searching. I look through the aisles trying to find clues or anything helpful.. I almost stop before I see something shiny on the ground

No.. please don't be what I think it is. I kneel down and pick up the ring and it has the "T&L"... engraved and tears start to well in my eyes. I don't know why I pulled out my phone to call him because I know his phone must have been taken but I tried anyways... The phone goes straight to voicemail. I put his ring in my pocket and another officer picks me up off the ground.

Officer ?) "I'm assuming you're Lucy Bradford?"

I nodded

Officer ?) "Hi Lucy, I'm Luna Wells and we will find your husband okay? Will you join our search for him?"

I stand up firm with an aggressive look in my eyes

Lucy) "You bet the heck I will"
