The plane landed, and Reid and JJ went to Quantico, and the rest of the team went to Walter Kellam's house.

"I shouldn't be here,"Reid said," I should be out there looking for Amanda! What of it was Henry out there?"

"Then, I'd be out there, panicked, historical, and getting in the way," JJ said," I know you want to be with the team, but Amanda needs you here. You're the one who knows her best, and we need you to help us understand what she might do."

Reid was about to protest, when his phone rang.

"Reid," he said shortly.

"Do you want to see your daughter again?"

Reid froze.

"Who is this?"

"Do you want to see your daughter again?"

"Yes," Reid answered.

"Then tell your team to stop looking for her," the man said," you have three hours. If you refuse to stop, she will be punished."

"Let me speak to her," Reid demanded," If you don't, I will assume that you're either lying, or that you already killed her, and I won't give you anything you ask for."

There was silence for a few seconds.

"Daddy?"

"Amanda! Where are you sweetie?"

"Get your team out of the field," the man said," or she dies."

Then, he hun up.

"Reid,"JJ said," what happened?"

"We need to get the team out of the field," he said.

"What? Why?"

"He has Amanda. He says if the team doesn't stop looking, in three hours, he'll kill her," Reid said.

"I'm hungry," Amanda said quietly," can I please have some food?"

She hated begging to this man, but she hadn't eaten in almost twelve hours, and Lily had had snacks available to her all day.

"Princess," the man said," our dog is hungry. Should we feed her?"

Lily looked at her with pity.

"Well, she has been good, since we trained her. I think she's earned some food," Lily said.

The man went to the cabinet, and got a bowl. Amanda licked her lips. The man passed all the real food, and opened the door under the sink. He pulled out a container of dog food. Amanda watched in horror, as he poured the food in the bowl, opened the cage door, and shoved it in.

"I'm thirsty," Amanda said.

He looked at her with disdain, and begrudgingly got water from the sink, and placed it in her cage.

"I can't eat," Amanda said," my hands are still tied together."

"Eat, and drink from the bowl," the man countered," like the dog you are."

Amanda paused, and then looked at the water. Her dry mouth, betrayed her , and she drank straight from the bowl, and watched the man, as his smile grew.

"I hope you like your food," he said," because it's all you're getting."

Amanda looked at her food bowl. Her stomach growled. She would need strength, if she was going to fight this man. She couldn't go forever without food. She took a tiny bite of the food, and quickly swallowed. It wasn't good, but it was fuel.

"Princess," the man said," watch the dog for a little bit. I need to take care of something."

"Okay daddy!"

He left the room, and they were alone.

"Lily," she whispered," please let me out. I'm scared. I don't want to be here. I wanna go home. I wanna be with my daddy."

Amanda started crying against her will.

"No," Lily said, firmly," my daddy says that you have to wait until we leave. Then, you can go home."

"Please, just let me out of the cage," Amanda begged," I need to stretch my legs. I need to go to the bathroom."

"Let me ask my daddy," Lily replied," I don't want to get in trouble."

While Lily was gone, Amanda prayed to whatever God would listen. Her father wasn't very religious, but she was willing to try anything at this point. When the man returned with a leash in his hand, Amanda had an overwhelming mix of dread and hope churning through her body.

" Are you ready to go for a walk?"
