A scary message, left at my door step

I tried getting up from bed, and the pain all over my body was enough to send me back to the bed.

I would have preferred to call the cops, but for someone who have had a case, of child abuse, before now, I don't think I have the right to go to the police, that my husband is abusing my eight year old. What proof do I have? they Wouldn't believe me, they would think I am just trying to get custody of her.

I managed to get out of bed. No matter how difficult it all seem, I still have to do something.

I staggered out of my room, and walked straight to the door, I didn't bother checking myself in the mirror, I could tell that I look terrible, but on my door step, there was a note, I was not scared to pick it up, if I didn't die last night, I will surely not die soon, so all I just had to do was to open up the note.

It was a scary message, but I refused to be scared.

"Leave the house this minute, and go to your child's school". Was the command written on the note. In as much as I would love to go anywhere that has to do with my daughter's school, I couldn't just follow the instructions of an unknown person? And to add it up, I am not in New York, after the case with my student, I flee to New Jersey, though it is close to new York, it is a total different state, and someone is asking me to run? I was still contemplating on what to do, when a car parked Infront of my the house where I stay, and three men walked out, and started walking directly to me, I ran back inside, but before I could shut the door, one of them stopped me, by putting his legs, in a bit to block the closure.

I struggled, trying my best to close the door, but I was pushed forcefully backwards, that I fell to the ground, and they found their way in.

"Who are you, and what do you want? I asked, almost closed to tears. Last night had been worse than this, and now, they still want to come and hurt me?

"We are not here to hurt you, but the one who sent us, feel you might not be able to meet up with him where he said you should come, so he had asked us to fetch you and bring you to him". Now I am really confused. Who are they even talking about? Anyways, I know one person who hate me so much and would want me dead, and that is Edward my ex husband, if this is one of his tricks, then he should know that I am ready to fight him with everything I have.

"Did Edward send you guys here? I asked, and they exchanged glances, but said nothing.

"There is no time ma'am, you have to come with us now". One of them said, showing me the way out of my own apartment, as if I needed that.

"I am not going anywhere! I screamed, and and just like before, the three exchanged glances, and before I knew it, they carried me shoulder high, and no matter how much I struggled, they didn't put me down, till I was at the back of the car, and they drove real fast as if they are being chased by the cops.

"Where are you taking me? I asked. This time, I started crying, but they didn't look like they cared at all. They didn't even bother looking back at me, and I couldn't leave, for one of them sat down at the back with me. I decided to speak with the one closest to me.

"Please, I have a little daughter, please don't hurt me, I beg you. My husband is going to hurt my child, I need to report him to the cops, but if you are going to kidnap me, I can't save my child". All I said, went to deaf ears, none of them, paid heed to anything I said, it was more like I was not talking to humans, I gave up trying and started crying.

I really wanted to see my child. I have been calm all this while, because I thought that her father was taking good care of her, but with the image he showed me yesterday, I know now that she is going through hell, and I could not let such happen to her. I must save her, I just have to.

We got to a private port, and though there were small air crafts there, I saw a private hanger, and in there, was the most luxurious jet I have ever seen. The two men Infront alighted from the car, and spoke to some other men in suit, and a police man, I was hoping I would be able to get help from the police man, but seeing the way he interacted with them, I gave up. The third guy pulled me by the arm, into the private jet, making me relax properly in the jet.

"You can relax now, We will make a stop at Pennsylvania, before going to Newyork". Upon hearing Newyork, I became very happy. I have been in new York all my life, maybe escaping when we get there, won't be such a bad idea. I decided to actually relax, while thinking of an escape plan, but even before I could put my thoughts to use, I fell asleep, and only woke up, when we touched the ground.

I didn't need anyone telling me that we are already at Pennsylvania, I have read so much about the state that I could tell, just by looking at the beauty of the place. Like before, I was pulled by the arm, and led to an inn. Everyone stared at me, without questioning why I was being held like a criminal, which brings me to how I know it is pointless, asking anyone for help. We went through a long corridor, until we finally reached a long mahogany door. The type that could only be seen in palaces and castles, only the knob was twisted, before it flung open, and that was when I realized that someone else had been standing by the door. He bowed to me in respect, which shocked me by the way, for I am supposed to be a prisoner, but he just accorded me with respect. I didn't want to think so much about it, for it could have been a mistake, or a reflex action. There was a rolling seat in front of us and someone was sitting on it, but backing us. I could already tell that it isn't Edward, but it could be the Bradfords I guessed.

"She is here boss". one of the guards that had taken me said, and the person on the seat, rolled the seat, to face us, and I couldn't believe whom I was looking at.

"Craig?
