(( we should be getting close soon i hope, lovebug ))

Patch got to the house and kicked the door down and yelled out, "Alex, are you there."

lina ran in the door after patch and began beating on all of the doors in the house. "ALEX!" she called throughout the house.

Even though her mouth was covered in rope, Alex screamed at the top of her lungs.

lina stopped making any noise and tilted her head in one direction. she patted on patch's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "do you hear that?"

Patch nodded and ran to the room that he heard it coming from. He quickly knocked it down and smiled when he saw Alex. "Alex." he said and ran over to her and took the think covering her mouth off.

lina ran over as well. "oh thank god, alex." she sighed in relief, moving to her hands to untie them.

Once they unwrapped the ropes, Alex looked at them both. "You guys need to shut up, or he'll hear you." she hissed.

Patch looked at her, "who?" he asked softly as he looked at her.

"The man who took me stupid! Now let's go before we get caught!" she whispered as she crawled out the window.

lina nodded and looked at patch. she shook her head at him and followed alex to the window, climbing out after her. "do you know who he was?" she asked quietly.

Alex started running down the road, backwards when Lina asked her a question. "No idea!"

Patch crawled out of the window and ran off after Alex and Lina. He made a mental note of this place to tell the police later.

lina ran with them both and moved in front of them both after a few blocks away from the house, blocking their way from moving any more. "stop. were far enough away. let me call john to pick us up and take us to the police." she asked them, panting from the long run.

Alex nodded and hugged Lina. "Thank you." she said. She ran back to Patch and hugged him, kissing him again, again, and again. "Thank you baby."

Patch nodded, "sounds like a good idea." he panted and then kissed Alex back. He wrapped his arms around her and glad that she was safe.

Alex closed her eyes and hoped that Lina would call fast. "i thought it was possible that I'd never see you again."

lina sighed, "we were so worred." she nodded, calling john who was on her speed dial.

Patch nodded, "yeah, we got really worryed," he saida s he pulled her closer to him.

John picked up, "hello." he said happly

lina sighed in relief hearing john's voice. "alex was just kidnapped. we got her out and everything, but we need a ride to the police station before the guy catches up with us. could you please pick us up and give us a ride?" she said all in one breath.

John was already out the door when she said alex was kidnapped, "I will be there as soon as I can, where are you now?" he asked as he got into the car and started to drive

lina looked at the stop sign they were nearest to and repeated to him what street corner they were on. "thank you john. so much." she sighed.

Alex stood in Patch's arms, never wanting to leave. She felt most safe there, with Patch and Lina. "Thank you, guys."

John smiled as he drove down the road, :I would do anything for you." he said and was already half way there.

Patch held Alex close, "I would always come for you." he said and kissed her head.

lina smiled and crossed her arms in the cold. "i would do anything for you, too." she nodded to the phone, hearing his car in the background. she glanced over at patch and alex, smiling softly at them.
