I wake up and walk to Ross's room.
She's not there.
I get in my car and drive around town, frantically looking for any sign of her.
I find an abandoned building and for some reason feel the urge to look in there. I pull out my gun and walk inside, scared of what I am going to find. I can hear her screaming, and I have to compose myself.
"Please stop!" She screams.
And I break.
I bust down the door and shoot her captor.
She's lying on the floor crying, bloodied and bruised. Her hands are tied up, and I race to untie the ropes binding her. I pick her up so she is in my arms.
Her breathing starts to shallow.
"No, no no no! Ross stay with me!"
I grab her wrist and feel her pulse fade.
"No! Ross!"
