SPENCERS POV

I don’t remember much from that night I remember dancing with Ashley a few times and drinking 1 or 2 drinks but I didn’t drink very much and I was way drunker than I should have been for the few drinks I had.










Spencer tried to stand up the room was spinning and she was trying to find Ashley she almost collapsed but a man grabbed her arm and helped her up.

“Are you ok?” He asked.

“Uhh….I need to find my wife.” Spencer couldn’t even focus on his face and the room was spinning out of control. She collapsed in his arms.

He took her out of Gray and when he walked past the bouncer he laughed. “The misses had a little to much to drink.”

“That’ll do it.” The bouncer laughed back.

He put Spencer in his van and drove off.




“SPENCER….SPENCER……..SPEEEEEEEENCER.” Ashley was screaming she looked in the bathroom she asked the bar tender if they saw her, it was almost like she vanished. She had called Paula and a few friends and no one had seen or heard from her.


“That’s it I am calling 911 Spencer would never just leave and not tell me.” She said to Amy the bar tender from high school.

“Ash calm down are you sure she wasn’t mad.” Ashley shook her head. “No she wasn’t we were having fun all night dancing she wouldn’t have left without telling me.

RING RING RING

“911 what’s your emergency?” The man on the other line asked.

“My wife just disappeared from Gray’s night club I was talking to a friend and when I came back she was gone.” Ashley was panicking now she walked outside so she could hear.

“Your…wife….has she been gone 24 hours.” The man seemed very calm and Ashley was anything but.

“No she just disappeared though.” Ashley was pacing back and forth.

“Ok well I am sorry maim she has to be gone for 24 hours before we can file a missing person report.” The man sounded sorry.

“You don’t understand Spencer would never leave without telling me.” Ashley was at full panic now.

“Please sir she has blonde hair and blue eyes and….and….and…” She was breaking down now and she couldn’t even speak.

“I am sorry maim it has to be 24 hours before we can do anything.”

“FUCK….” Ashley hung up the phone and started calling numbers again the club was starting to quiet down it was 1:55am and almost everyone was gone. She called Paula and she informed her that she called the hospitals and no one has seen her.

Ashley couldn’t leave she didn’t know where to go without Spencer. She got a picture out of her purse of her and Spencer when they went to Florida 3 years ago.

“Have you seen this woman?” She asked about 20 people and then finally when she saw the bouncer she asked him.

“Excuse me sir…Have you seen this woman?” He took the picture and started shaking his head and then he looked closer.

“Uhh I’m not sure if that was her but a lady that was pretty drunk left with some guy tonight…..he told me it was his wife.” He gave her the picture back.

“Wait let me see the picture again.” He looked close and thought hard. “Yeah that was definitely her she could barely walk though yeah some guys wife…why are you looking for her.” Ashley had steam coming out of her ears almost.

“THAT IS NOT SOME GUYS WIFE THAT IS MY WIFE AND SHE WAS BARELY DRINKING ANYTHING TONIGHT!” She was starting to fall apart.

“Did you see what kind of car they got in?” She was trying to hold it together.

“No sorry I didn’t.”

“Fuck.” She called 911 again and someone different answered.

“911 what’s your emergency?” it was a women this time.

“Yes hi I called earlier and they told me I had to wait 24 hours to file a missing person….”

“Yes that is correct.” The women interrupted.

“Yes well I know that my wife was taken by a man from a club I am at the bouncer saw him, and the man told the bouncer that my wife was his wife and that she just had to much to drink and she only had a few drinks tonight.

“This is your wife?” The woman on the other line was skeptical.
“YES SHE IS MY WIFE WE ARE A GAY MARRIED COUPLE WITH 2 CHILDREN SO PLEASE COULD YOU SEND A POLICE TO GRAY NIGHT CLUB.” Ashley had it she was screaming and Amy was watching her the whole time silently

“Umm considering the circumstances yes I will send a police to come take a report but it will be up to them what they do no promises.” The women was calm

“Ok thank you, her name is Spencer Carlin Davies.” Ashley breathed out at least happy that she could be useful right now she felt so useless and it was the worse feeling.

“Is there anything I can do?” Amy walked up to Ashley.

“Uhh no I have to call my mother in law and tell her what happened.” Ashley walked away and sat on a bench she dialed and hung up a few times. She knew this was going to be horrible. She failed to protect Spencer and their was no other way to explain it.

When she finally dialed and heard it ringing she took a deep breath. “HELLO ASHLEY….DID YOU FIND HER.” Paula was on the other line panicking.

“No I didn’t and you should sit down.” She was trying so hard to fight the tears but was failing miserably.

“WHAT….WHAT HAPPENED.” Paula screamed on the phone and Ashley heard Arthur and her argue as he took the phone from her.

“Ashley?” Arthur’s voice came through the line and Ashley broke into sobs.

“Ash what happened?” Arthur was calm but the fear that took over him made it really hard to be.

“He….took….her.” Ashley’s choked out through her sobs.


“Ash…I’m sorry I didn’t get all that who took her?” Ashley could hear Paula screaming in the background and she tried to calm down enough to get the words out.

“A man took Spencer and…..told the bouncer she was really drunk and that she was his wife…..but…..but…she barely drank anything all night.” She broke into sobs again and Arthur had problems keeping his tears in. He turned to Paula and relayed what happened and told her they didn’t know anything else yet. Paula was hysterical.

“The police are here I have to go I will call you back when I know more.” Ashley tried to clean her face up as she shut her phone.

“Are you Mrs. Carlin?” Ashley let a tear fall but quickly whipped it away.

“Yes.” She knew it wasn’t her whole name but she was as much Mrs. Carlin as she was Mrs. Davies.

“What happened here?” She retold the story to the police and they took down her information but informed her that with no leads they would still have to wait for a detective in the morning. She broke into tears a few more times but he informed her it was best to go home now and to wait until morning.

Amy convinced her to let her drive her home in Ashley’s car and that she would take a cab back and finally Ashley said yes.
When she got home she was exhausted but as much as she wanted to sleep she just sat in the chair in her and Spencer’s bedroom and stared out the window. She thought about how right it was for it to be raining right now.













When Spencer came too she didn’t know where she was she looked around the room and tried to focus her eyes. “Ash?” She had the worse headache and no clue where she was. It looked like a wine cellar their were shelves and she was laying on a cot.


“HELLO.” She tried to get out but couldn’t the door was locked. “What the hell?” Everything was blurry from the night before she didn’t remember much.

“ASHLEY IF YOUR PLAYING A GAME IT ISN’T FUNNY.” She was starting to get scared and started to pace the room looking for a way out. Their was no windows and the door was bolted shut with no window to see what was past the door.

She looked around the shelves their was food and wine stocked and a refrigerator in the corner. She opened the fridge and saw all kinds of food but she didn’t feel like eating.

Their was a sink and a shelf next to the fridge with soap, shampoo and a wash cloth and a robe hanging on a hook. On the other side of the sink was a toilette and a pack of toilette paper.

“HELLOOOOOO……CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?” She started to cry and went and sat back on the cot she woke up on.

Their was a TV on the wall and she went and turned it on. She watched TV until she fell asleep again and no one ever came to open the door.











Ashley didn’t know what time she actually fell asleep but she woke up to the phone ringing and a really stiff neck.

“Hello…” She tried to sound awake but failed miserably.

“Is this Ashley Davies?” A man on the other line asked.

“Yes it is?” Ashley didn’t like the man already his voice was disguised with some kind of electronic voice scrambler.

“You don’t know me but I have your…..wife (he scoffed as he said it) and if you want her back you are going to listen very carefully to me.” He paused and Ashley didn’t know if he hung up.

“Ok I will….hello….HELLO….” She was pacing the room.

“Who are you?…..Whatever you want it’s yours just please give me Spencer back….HELLO….” She could feel the tears falling down her face.

“OK…now that I have your attention…..you will not try to find out who I am you will not try to contact the police anymore….I have Spencer locked up somewhere and she has enough food for about a month but if anything happens to me she will die……and I will know if you talk to the police.” Ashley didn’t care what she had to do she cared about catching this scum bag but she wanted to get Spencer back safe first.

“Fine name it whatever you want it is yours.” She didn’t care if he wanted it all she had millions and it meant nothing compared to Spencer.

“I want you to put one million dollars in all $100′s in a duffel bag and bring it to Northridge Park….Do you know where that is?”

“Yes.”

“Ok you leave it by the bathroom in the International Village at 3pm tomorrow…..don’t tell anyone.”

“Ok I wont but when do I get Spencer back.” Ashley just wanted to get this over with she didn’t care about a million dollars she shit that for breakfast.

“I will contact you after the money is safe and counted.”

“How do I know that you will give me Spencer back once you have the money?” Ashley didn’t want to goad this man but she really wanted Spencer back.

“You don’t.” And with that he hung up.

“FUCK….FUCK….FUCK.” She paced the floor and then ran to the bathroom to throw up.




The rest of the day past by slowly she got rid of the police when they came she ignored the door and calls from Paula and Arthur she just wanted to get this over with. She called her bank and told them how she wanted the money and they said it would be ready for her tomorrow. All she had to do now was wait. She really didn’t sleep the rest of the night






Spencer woke up feeling pretty hungry. She walked to the fridge and took out a bottled water and a few pieces of lunch meat for a sandwich. She didn’t know what to do she turned the TV back on and after trying to call for help for about an hour she laid back on the cot and cried. This was the second day she had been locked in this room and even though she had food and a TV she was scared she pulled her blanket up around her and watched TV until she fell back to sleep. For the second day no one came to see her.






The next day Ashley went to the bank she put the money where she was supposed to right at 3pm she looked around a little but since she had no clue what she was looking for she hurried up and left. At 4pm her phone rang.




“Hello?” She sounded panicked and she mentally slapped herself for not being calmer.

“Good you know how to follow directions.” The man had his voice hidden again but at this point she didn’t care. “You want your wife back now I am guessing.” He said it like a joke.

“Of course you got your money now please give me my wife.” Ashley was all but begging.

“I will give you your wife and don’t worry she is fine she may be a little scared but no harm will come to her….as far as getting her back it is going to take a few weeks for that to happen because I need to get far out of the country before I tell you where she is. Don’t worry she is safe she has a TV, food, water, a bed a sink she is fine.”

“Please I can’t wait weeks…..please I am begging you I don’t care about the stupid money please just give her back to me….she has 2 kids who miss her.”

“No no no Miss Davies you will get her when I am long gone…..do not call the police or Spencer will die.” and with that he hung up.

Ashley fell to the floor and sobbed without Spencer she realized how incomplete she really was. The last 2 days felt like the longest of her life. It was nothing compared to the next 6 weeks.

The man didn’t tell her it would take 6 weeks at this point the police were involved, Spencer’s parents were involved it was in the news so even Spencer knew what was going on and she was in more pain just seeing Ashley plead on the TV that if anyone sees her to call right away. She hated knowing that whoever did this Ashley gave a million dollars too but she knew financially he could have gotten way more.





After 6 weeks Spencer had developed a routine since she only had one outfit on she would take off her jeans, underwear, shirt and bra and wash them why she wore the robe and then let them hang dry and put them back on she would wash herself in the sink and then most of the day she just watched TV some days she would run in place because she needed to do something and it was hard in the cell she was in.



RING RING RING

Ashley waited until the police pointed to her and told her to go ahead.

“Hello?”

“Ahhh Ashley I see you didn’t listen to me and you have the police their with you…..it’s too bad….” Ashley could feel panic rise up in her throat.

“No I don’t I swear I didn’t call them…” She knew that was the truth but when someone is missing for 6 weeks the police tend to get involved.

“Well no matter Spencer is in a cellar under the old concession stand in the park you dropped the money off at.” And with that he was gone.

“Ashley knew exactly what he was talking about the park had an old section they were tearing down it was roped off because a lot of the playground equipment was so old it wasn’t safe anymore she knew that no one would hear Spencer if she was there because no one could even get close to her. She jumped up and with police raced to the park. Ashley jumped out of the car and ran to the building leaving the police not to far behind but far enough that they were surprised by the girls speed.

“SPEEEEENCER……SPENCER…..”



Spencer jumped off the cot when she heard Ashley she didn’t know where she was but she knew she wasn’t far.

“ASHLEY ASHHHHH I’M IN HERE ASHLEY ASHLEEEEEEEEEEEY.” Spencer was so afraid Ashley wouldn’t hear her she screamed as loud as she could.

“I HEAR YOU BABE I’M COMING.” She ran down the stairs of the concession stand. Both girls had tears streaming down their face as they met at the door and waited for the police to break it down.

“Are you ok?” Spencer asked and Ashley couldn’t help but laugh that Spencer wanted to know if she was ok.

“Of course I am are you ok?” Ashley said in an duh kind of voice.

“Yes I’m fine just get me out of here.” Spencer was laying against the door when the police caught up with the battering ram.

“MOVE AWAY FROM THE DOOR MISS.” The police told Spencer and she moved to the back of the room. When they busted the door down Ashley jumped past the door before the police could even move it out of the way and both girls slammed into each other wrapping their arms around each other tight.
Ashley broke down she cried hard, all 6 weeks fear of never seeing each other again, of something happening to Spencer ripped into her heart at once.

“I thought I was never going to see you again.” Ashley cried into Spencer’s hair and Spencer let her tears fall because she had the same thoughts.

“I love you so so so much Ash…” Spencer pulled Ashley tighter and they leaned back and kissed lightly causing most of the police to turn their heads so that they wouldn’t intrude on this moment. Even though most of them couldn’t help the smiles that crossed their faces knowing how much Ashley loved Spencer from the last 6 weeks and seeing Spencer it was clear how much she loved Ashley. And also knowing that stories like this don’t usually have such a happy ending.


“Let’s go home.” Ashley said as she pulled back and took Spencer’s hand in her own. The ride home was unreal for Spencer she loved just being outside. They were very quiet on the way to the police station and even though Ashley was very angry that they couldn’t just go home the police had to get Spencer’s statement.

When they got to the police station Paula broke down as soon as she saw Spencer walk through the door and even Arthur let a few tears fall. They all hugged and Arthur pulled Ashley into the hug also. It seemed like it took forever but finally they were allowed to go home.

“I need to see Kennedy and Cordy.” Spencer’s heart hurt from missing 6 weeks of her kids life she wanted to see them so bad.

“Amy has them she is at the house.” Spencer looked confused.

“The old bar tender when we were in school she stayed and waited with me the night……well that night and she has been helping out since then.”

“Ohh….” Spencer just looked out the window she didn’t even want to think about that night.

When they got home Spencer pulled Kennedy in for a big hug and was surprised to see Cordy walking around.

“I missed her first steps?……..” Spencer looked up to Ashley she was so broken. Ashley didn’t know what to do. It was going to take a lot longer than 6 weeks to heal the damage done and Ashley knew it at the time she had no idea how big the damage really was.
