When Rules Are Destroyed

That Roped Ladder

Brody's POV

It has been three weeks since Mr. Dawson has kidnapped my angel and my baby girl or boy. Each night I cry when the kids are asleep in the bed with me, they started sleeping with me after the first week. They didn't feel safe in the house, which kills me, that they feel that way. If anything happened to them too I wouldn't know what to do.

Every day during my prep hour I go to the police station and see if they have any new information on her whereabouts. The day after Ame had told me about her dream I had given that information to the main investigator, Daryl, he said that he would look into it but the fact that it was a dream made him seem skeptical about it. After arguing with him, he finally agreed to check to see if Mr. Dawson had property with a well on it. But so far no such luck was with us.

My parents are living in the house in the spare bedroom for moral support but also watching the kids and taking their minds off the investigation. Each day it gets harder for everyone, Eli asks each day when is mommy coming home, where is mommy, and is mommy okay. Jay has comforted Eli when she's had a bad day and hides in her hidden spot, the kitchen cupboard.

*BEEP* BEEP* BEEP* my alarm goes off, my eyes darted over to the obnoxious piece of plastic that was making noise. My hand goes out and slaps the alarm clock making it be quiet. I haven't slept a wink in days; my eyes are locked on the doorway looking for anyone that decides to come back. I felt Eli roll over as Jay sat up in bed, I looked over at Eli and her hair is like the way her mom's hair is like when she wakes up in the morning. The sight makes a smile appear on my face.

"Do you guys want to stay in today, maybe watch some movies? We could watch Frozen and then some of Jayden's movies?" I asked knowing it would be a yes from both of them. It was two weeks before graduation and my baby had three weeks to make up missing work.

"Yea!" the two of them both chorused at the same time, repeating it over and over again.

"Okay! Then let's go down stairs, quietly though. Grandma and pops are probably still sle-" My voice was cut off by my mother's voice saying that she would love to watch Frozen with us.

"See they aren't sleeping! So can we be loud!?" Elizabeth asked in a shushed sweet tone.

"Not extremely loud but normal level." I state getting out of bed holding Eli in my arms and Jay on my back.

As my mother was setting up the DVD player, I called my work and said I wouldn't be in today and that the kids have a worksheet and finish up the labs that they were working on in chemistry. And to remind them that their final would be coming up shortly and they need to start studying form chapters 15 to 25 in the Chem. Book.

When I got off the phone with the principal and secretary I called Jay's school excusing his absent. The teacher tried to continue the conversation but I couldn't handle the pitch of her high voice. It reminded me of Ms. Dae who I haven't seen around the school since she had come into my class trying to comfort me about the kidnapping. Although I was still confused on how she even knew that I would have been concerned about it, I hadn't said a word to the faculty that my fiancée had been kidnapped. I knew something was fishy with that situation but I didn't know exactly what.

I walked back into the living room from the kitchen and saw Elizabeth coping and dancing to 'Let it Go' from the movie, I stopped and just watched as she was having the time of her life and a bored look was on Jayden's face although by the end of the song he was mouthing the words too.

*Knock* knock* knock* knock*

I walked over to the door to see my old fighting coach; I let out a heavy breath as I opened the door.
