Nick's POV
Becca and I ran upstairs quickly. I didn't know what was going on. I got to the nursery door and walked in. The babies were screaming loudly and there was no sign of Annie. I saw the closet door was half way open. I walked over silently and opened the door. Some of the clothes that were hanging up were now on the floor and there was a picture frame broke. I picked up the picture frame. It was a picture of Lilly. How did this get in here? There was glass shattered everywhere. "Becca come here!" I shouted. A minute later she was behind me. "What?" She asked. "It's a picture of Lilly. My sister." I said as I showed her the the broken picture frame with the picture of Lilly in it. "How did it get in here?" " I don't know." I said breathlessly. Then I realized that we didn't know where Annie was and the babies were crying. "Becca, you get the babies and I will search for Annie." I shouted orders. I didn't know what to do. I was confused and lost and dazed. Annie was my everything. I ran to our bedroom and looked everywhere. The closet, under the bed, in the hamper, heck I even looked for her in the dresser drawer. I couldn't find her. I started crying. My knees gave out and I just leaned over and cried my eyes out. "Are you alright?" Becca asked, suddenly behind me. "No!" I shouted. I was a total wreck. I was lost and alone. Where was she? Where is my Annie? "Calm down. It's going to be alright. I'm going to look downstairs." Becca said calmly even though I knew she would break down any minute. Becca left the room shortly after. I wiped the tears away. I was overreacting, I told myself. "Nick!" Becca screamed. I ran down the stairs as fast as I could, tripping during the way down. I saw Becca sobbing on the floor in the kitchen. There was blood everywhere. "You cut yourself?!" I yelled at her. "No." She whispered. "Then who.." I stopped mid sentence. I felt my knees go weak and I fell to the floor. "Annie.." Becca whispered. "No." I screamed. "A knife is missing from the counter." Becca spoke up. I looked to my right and saw 8 knives in the knife holder and one little holder missing. Where the 9th knife was. "Oh my god!" I said in shock. "Someone took Annie..." Becca whispered. "Call the cops! Now!" I yelled at Becca. I ran upstairs and went to the nursery room. I quickly grabbed the babies and rocked them against my chest. "Shh, everything is going to be alright." I whispered to them. I walked over to the window and looked out. It was storming really bad. I saw the neighbor's tree across the street collapsed. I was freaked out. This couldn't get anymore creepier. I heard footsteps on the stairs and realized it was Becca. "The cops will be here any minute." Becca told me. "Thanks so much Becca." I whispered. "Anything for you Nick." She replied back softly. A few minutes later we heard the front door open. Becca and I walked downstairs and saw the cops standing in the door way. "Upstairs, there is glass broken and in the kitchen there is blood everywhere. There is also a knife missing from the knife holder." I said quietly. I saw the cops head upstairs and walk into the nursery. I walked over to the couch and sat down with Becca, holding the babies. "I'll take Andrew." Becca said. I picked up Andrew and sat him gently into Becca's arm. She rocked him slowly. I rocked Lexi until she calmed down again. I sat her in the rocking swing and put it on slow speed, until she fell to sleep. Becca did the same with Andrew. "I can't believe the babies have to go through this at such a young age." I whispered very quietly. "Yeah, I know. It's sad. I bet they miss her a lot, just as much as we do." Becca said. She gently reached out and squeezed my hand softy. "I like talking to you, I feel like I can just reach out to you and you can take all my problems away. I feel like I can be myself." I said with a soft smile. Becca giggled. "I know what you mean." She whispered. Before I could reply back the cops came and stood by the couch. "We checked everything out. The finger prints were smeared on the glass, so we didn't get any finger prints and the red stuff downstairs isn't blood, it's ketchup." The first cop said as the second cop kept silent. "It wasn't blood?" I asked in shock. I looked over at Becca and saw her staring at the ground with no emotions on her face, the emotions were just drained out of her face. "No, it wasn't." The second cop said. "Well, that will be all for today. Call us if you need anything." The second cop said with a friendly smile. I watched as they walked out the door. "I think some one is messing with us." I said. "What?" Becca asked, confused. "The ketchup all over the floor." I said. "Oh. Yeah, maybe." Becca whispered unsure. "I don't know. I'm so confused. Who would want to kidnap Annie?" I asked confused. "I don't know of anyone." Becca said. "Me either. Wait, I know," I said quietly. "Annie's Dad." I said in a haze. Becca gasped.
