My head hurts when I open my eyes; where am I?

"She's awake" a male voice says and I turn to the sound, only to find Ben walking in the room I'm in. This isn't the basement...fuck, my back aches...Ben comes closer and I try to go but my hands tied back to the chair. I squirm, trying to break free but it's no use.

"You can't escape now, little girl" he says with a grin and squats in front of me; his face alone makes me want to puke all over him. "I wanted this to be as comfortable as possible for you but after the stunt of yesterday, you don't give me a choice" I feel rage in my chest and I want to kick his stupid face and I do, but my legs are also bind to the chair; fuck. "Calm down"

"How am I support to do that if you tie me up!" I sneer back, disgust filling my voice.

"As long as you sit still and look pretty, then I'll consider bringing you back to the basement where you first were" he says, pointing at the door; so I'm still in the same place as before, that's good. I just hope Mateo will find the necklace but who am I kidding? I'm in Pennsylvania what's almost 200 miles from New York City...Who knows, maybe someone indeed found it and took it for itself; stop think so low! There's looking for you. "But I need to say Emily, good job" I arch a brow.

"For what?"

"I thought our little girl was innocent, weak but I guess I underestimated you; you can fight" he looks at the guards behind me and I turn as well to find him with a black eye, a cut at his forehead and a broken nose...I did that? I don't really remember much; I just had one goal: getting out of there. the guard give me a dead stare; he hates me.

"Ben" I say softer and his face falls a little, affection towards me showing; he likes me, I know it...I can use that against him but I don't know it's a good idea. "Why me?"

"What do you mean?"

"If you want to hurt Mateo so bad, then why do you take me?"

"Isn't it obvious?" he stands up, towering over me. "He loves me, you're the one he cares...But I don't really want to hurt him and definitely not you"

"What do you want then?" I ask him, curious and scared for the truth.

"I want NYC back"

"What do you mean back?" he sighs at my question and motion for everyone to leave the room. He takes a chair himself and sits opposite me.

"I don't know why I'm saying this but I guess you only can listen so...I'm the lost child of the Russian Mafia" he starts. "I found out I'm adopted when I was young so I tries to find my real dad. It took me so long but I found him...then I realized he was a mobster, a bad man yet they took me in like I was a family member they haven't seen for a while. They were kind. That aside..." he takes a deep breath. "I also had a older brother, he and I may not had a good relationship but I loved him; I was only child here but there I wasn't...After a while he showed me love back and we became best friends" he looks down a smile coating his lips. "Everything when right until HE came" Now he looks disgusted. "Mateo came in New York City and killed my brother" I look down as well; right...Mateo wrote that in his diary. He killed the oldest son of a Russian mafia to get his empire. "I want revenge!" he says firmly. "I need to that! I can't let the family down"

"Were you already in the mafia when you met Stephanie?" I ask without thing; I need more information.

"Yes...the Russian mafia has been living a low life, waiting to attack at the right moment and that is now" he stands up and strolls over to me, take my chin between his fingers and lift my head up so I can only stare into his eyes. "We were waiting until he felt in love with a woman...First I thought it was Stephanie but when I hurt I was you I was kind of relieved"

"What is that suppose to mean?"

"Stephanie is too weak to step into this world; even though she claims she's ready for it but you...You look weak, Emily but in reality you're not. You've been dealing with his shit for so long, I know because I've been looking from afar. He cheats on you, Emily! He kisses other girls, kill people and sell drugs for a living! You deserve better!"

"I know I do but I love him and nothing is going to change that!" I spit back and he lets me go.

"You're making a dumb mistake!" he treats and walks out of the room.

"Sorry, sir, we can't help you" the nurse says through the phone. "We don't know where he is...He left for vacation?"

"And do you know where?" I ask her but she's silence. "Alright" and I hand up. This is so frustrating! After we found out Ben is our kidnapper, we immediately go to his house, only to find it empty. That motherfucker! I kind of liked him, if I was honest but now, now I only want to murder him.

"You need to see this" Enzo says and I go to him; we're in my office at the UNDERGROUND. This is the only safe place for me.

"What is this?" I take the file and see a photo of Ben with- "-Is this the Russian Mafia?" I ask him and he nods.

"Ben is a lost son of the Don..." he sighs. "That explain why he wants you out here"

"Because I killed his brother, right?" 8 years ago, when I came to New York City and capture Queens, I went after Brooklyn which was in charge of the Russian Mafia...The Don at the time didn't left me with a choice but to kill him; so I did. Did I regret it? A little. But would I do it over again? Yes. That man was nothing but trouble. He wasn't just bad, he raped and killed woman and then he will find another one and do the same. I did the world a favor if you ask me.

"Sebastian is thinking something" Enzo says, getting me back to reality.

"What do you mean?" now he got my attention.

"Well, he thinks that Emily isn't in New York City"

"Why not?" I sit close toward him, waiting for his reply.

"Look, if you kidnapped someone special...Who in this fucked up world put that person in the same state as the person it belongs to?"

"Only stupid ones BUT I did that with the Chins so-"

"-No, that's just you, you're not scared of that but Ben is. He left as soon as they got Emily. If he wasn't scared he would live a normal life and pretend noting happened" I nod; he's right.

"We where do you thing they're hiding her?"

"I think here" he points at the map.

"In Pennsylvania?"

"Yes, where else? It's nearby, so if you would agree to their agreement then they can bring Emily as soon as possible back. In Pennsylvania are also a lot of forests that not many people know and guess what" he says. "I did some digging yesterday night" he takes out another file. "There is a bungalow that Ben's brother owned years ago"

"Which means it's a perfect hiding place"

"Indeed" Enzo says proudly and I want to kiss him. "While you were sleeping, we found a lot of stuff" he adds and my cheeks heat a little up; I fell asleep in my office just when everyone left. I wanted to look for any clues but then the darkness took the better hand. "Hey, don't feel embarrassed! You have slept for 3 days straight; it was only a matter of time when you felt asleep"

"But I feel useless now...I could use the time when I was asleep, helping you" I reply, looking away.

"Hey, the important part is that we're a step closer to finding your wife" he puts a hand on my shoulder; he's right. Emily need to come back to me...I can't live without her. The past couples of days had been hell. I couldn't sleep and when I did I dreamed of someone killing her. "Mateo? Are you still here?" Enzo's hand move in front of my face.

"Sorry, what did you say?" he laughs at my question.

"I asked how long Emily is."

"What?" my mind can't process this so I frown, a weird thought filling it.

"The pregnancy...how long is she?" oh, that.

"9 weeks I guess"

"Wow, that's long..." he replies happy. "Do you know the gender yet?" I shake my head, happy to talk about this.

"We don't know but I think it's a boy but Emily thinks it's a girl" Enzo laughs at my response.

"So you two have been fighting about this?"

"Kind of..." we both laugh now and Sebastian storms in the room, a tight expression on his face.

"Mateo"

"What's wrong!?" I stand up, scared for bad new; Sebastian never looks like this, something happened.

"I think I know where Emily is" he says?

"In Pennsylvania, Enzo told me that"

"Yes, but now I know it for sure" he replies.

"Why..."

"I there is footage of him walking into a supermarket there"

"Then what are we waiting for!?" I ask. "Get everyone! We are going there right now!" Here I come, Emily...Here I come...
