Chapter Seven

Around an hour later we were in the car on our way to the shops, Anthony said we can't stay long cause he has to get back to his work soon, so we have a list we have to follow. I didn't mind I just needed to get out so people would see my face and hopefully do something, before we left I wrote on a little piece of paper explaining what's happened hoping I'd be able to give it to someone to help me. Once we arrive at the shop he places Amelia in one of those baby trolley things, taking my hand pulling me to walk closely next to him his hand keeping me there. He hands me the list so both of my hands were doing something, but it was as though he didn't need the list, he was walking down the aisle getting the items in order, did he memorise this before we left or something?

We were basically done with the shopping, as we walk down the final aisle I spot a worker stacking a shelve which I knew was my last chance to get help, I place my hand on Amelia's dummy holding it in my hand. When Anthony wasn't looking I throw the dummy on the floor where it lands right by the workers foot.

"Oh I'll get it" I quickly say moving away from Anthony where I knell down picking the dummy up off the ground, on the way up I slyly take the little note out of my jacket pocket dropping it into the workers pocket, even he didn't notice.

I get up walking back to Anthony just hoping the guy would empty his pocket and see my note, if he does he would have to give it to the police, who would know the general area of where he's keeping us.

Once we exit the shop I see the worker going over pulling a cigarette out his pocket the little note falling out into the floor, I look down he's probably not gonna even notice it but he looks to the floor picking it up. He opens the note reading through it as Anthony unlocks the car placing the bags in the boot, the guy quickly looks around dropping his cigarette to the floor running back into the shop. No way, this could actually help me?!

"You okay doll?" Anthony asks me placing his hand on my shoulder, he had gotten Amelia in her seat and everything.

"Yeah, I was just daydreaming" I smile opening the car door looking back at the shop, hoping the guy would call the police.

Hey guys guess who's back, do I even have to tell you anymore you know the deal. I don't wanna toot my own horn but that plan with the note was a pretty smart idea, and the guy actually did ring the police and hours later Blake was hearing about it. I guess you're gonna wanna see that for yourselves right? Well your wish is my command.

Blake ran into the police station scanning the room for Tony or Kate but couldn't see them anywhere, which was strange to him they always arrive before him. Immediately Jacob walks out the door calling to Blake to come through to his office, Blake follows quickly where he thought Tony or Kate would be there also, but again he was wrong.

"You're girlfriend is one clever woman" Jacob starts closing the door behind Blake speed walking behind his desk pulling papers out, Blake didn't need anyone to tell him that he already knew "a few hours ago we got a call from a supermarket, saying a member of staff found a note addressed from the one and only Freya" he smiles Blake's eyes lit up hearing the news that Freya had left another note, it means she still out there waiting to be rescued.

"The note read,

Dear whoever is reading this, you urgently need to get ahold of the police when you find this note, my name is Freya Edwards I'm being held captive by a man called Anthony Richards. He's allowed me to go shopping with him so this was my only chance to ask someone for help, he's keeping us not far from this shop in a huge house, I can't write much as he'll find out but please again give this to the proper people"

Jacob finishes reading the letter which makes tears form in Blake's eyes just to hear the words that Freya wrote, but Jacob wasn't finished "we checked the security footage and found this" he says turning a tv on to show an aisle in a shop.

You see the worker stacking shelves of tins as a trolley comes into view, a man and a woman with a baby, the woman seems to throw something out of her hand to land near the worker. As she turns to pick it up Freya's face lights up the screen where she kneels down to pick whatever it was up, you could miss it but you see her slip the note into the workers pocket before making her way back over to the trolley continuing down the aisle where the video stops.

"I have to say again, your girlfriend is a very smart woman, now we've got officers around the surrounding areas asking anyone if they saw anything and knocking on doors" Jacob continues placing the remote back into his desk looking towards Blake, who's eyes didn't leave Freya's face on screen, he was so proud of her for everything she was doing and couldn't wait until he was able to be with her again "we're gonna find her Blake and make sure Anthony pays for taking her away in the first place" Jacob smiles as his phone on his desk rings, he quickly picks it up holding it to his ear but he immediately looks towards Blake with a sad expression.

Don't worry the call had nothing to do with me but sadly was very relevant to what was about to happen, but I won't tell you about that yet or I'd be skipping parts of the story. Things were about to turn ugly for me and I'd be put in situations I never thought I would be, again strap yourself in tight, this ride is far from over.
