Tears in Heaven

"We searched the area of any traces of where they could be but we haven´t found any. Your children are the only ones missing, so we assume that the whole thing with the gas was planned to kidnap your children.
We are doing everything we can at the moment. Every officer in the area is searching for your kids right now.
And if the kidnapper trys to contact you we advise you to call us directly and then we will help you.
If you don´t have any questions then I will go now and help my colleagues with the search."


"No we don´t have any questions at the moment and thank you for coming by and telling it to us personally." Angel said.


"Sure, no problem. I just wished there was more I could be doing to help you."
With that said officer Messer stood up from the couch and walked to the entrance.


Only a second after the door was closed, the phone sitting on the couch started ringing.

After the initial shock of it´s unexpected ring, Xander grappled the headset out of the
cradle and put it to his ear.

"Hello?"

There was silence on the line.

"Hello?" Xander pressed as he quickly straightened up on the couch.


There were shuddered breaths on the other end of the line, then very softly……”Mommy?”


“Sharee!” Xander choked out and quickly jumped to his feet with phone in hand.

“I was so worried, where are you?”


“I-I don’t know, mommy.”


Xanders anxiety spiked. There was something wrong, very wrong going on.
He could tell by the tone of Sharee’s voice.


"Are you okay? Where is your brother?"


"I´m okay, I think but I´m so scared and Keanu he is still sleeping.
All I remember is that we were sitting in our schoolbus on our way back home like every day when suddenly I became totally sleepy and the next thing I know is how Keanu and I are waking up in this dark room here.
Then four men came in and they hold us down and gave us both an injection and then we again fainted.
Then I woke up again but Keanu was still sleeping, so I looked around the room and then I felt something in my trousers, it was my mobile phone.
And so I directly called you." Sharee replied carefully.


Then suddenly her guard was down and she spoke rapidly, her fear more than evident. “Mommy I´m so scared, I don´t want to be here. Please come and get us."
She cried. “I-“


There was rustling on the other end of the phone and he heard a sharp slap.
Skin against skin, Xander thought in horror. “Sharee!” he screamed into the phone as he started to pace the room. “Sharee! Talk to me angel, where are you!”


“I’d settle down, Xander and listen carefully if I were you.”
A strange smooth male voice on the other end of the line advised.


It took everything Xander had to try and concentrate on what the man was telling him. “Who are you?”

"If you want to know who I am, than you should better ask your mates."

Tremors coursed through his body and he fought to control his breathing as he sank to his knees in the middle of the floor. He could feel the blood literally draining from his face.


“What do you want?” he asked quietly.


“As you’re aware, I have your beautiful little kids and if you want to see them again? You’ll listen very closely.” The man stated smoothly.


“Please, just let them go. Don’t hurt them.”


“I hope you have access to a computer Xander because here’s what we’re gonna do.”
The man stated, ignoring Xander’s plea.

“At midnight I’m going to send you an e-mail with instruction as to what I want you to do.”


“Please don’t hurt them.” He implored. “I’ll do whatever you want.”
“Please let me talk to them.” Xander begged.


“Listen to me.” The man demanded.
“I’m going to send you an e-mail. Everything I want you to do will be in it.
I expect you to follow my instructions right on the mark. Don’t go to the police
or else."


Xander heard Sharee start to sob in the background.
“Let me talk to my kids, please!”


“Listen to me Xander.” The man demanded sternly trying to get the him to focus back on him again.


“ Be at your computer by midnight tonight. I’ll send you the information about what I want and what I need you to do.”


“Please, can I talk to my kids? Just for a minute?” Xander pleaded.


He didn’t get an answer but he heard the phone rustling, then Sharee’s hitching sobs close up. “Sharee?” he called softly.


“They’re going to kill me.” Sharee sobbed quietly.


“No they won’t. I’ll give them what they want and they’ll let you go.” Xander tried to reassure his distraught daughter.


All Xander heard in response was Sharee’s shuddered breaths.

“I love you angel. I’m always with you. Mommy loves you so much. And tell that Keanu, too.”


“I love you too, mommy.” Sharee whimpered barely audible, then the line went dead.


Xander sank to the floor lying on his side and let his grief take him. The receiver slipping from his hand as he cried without restraint. Only then Spike and Angel, who had heard everything over the loudspeaker, dared to move from their spots and walked over to Xander.
