Arthur’s Pov

I still had no idea where Paula could have taken Spencer. I knew she wouldn’t cause her any physical harm, but she could definitely be causing psychological damage to my daughter. There wasn’t much I could do to save her and it was tearing me apart. I didn’t even speak to Paula this morning before I left for work. I have nothing to say to her until she brings my daughter home safe and sound where she belongs. I currently had nothing to do at work. I had no clients coming in for the next thirty minutes, so I had nothing to do but stress myself out over Spencer.

I bet Ashley is just as worried about her. I should give her a call and let her know what’s going on. She deserves to know. I don’t want her to think Spencer is ignoring her or anything. I picked up my cell and dialed the first contact on my list. Ashley.

It rang twice before I heard the young girls voice.

Ashley: “Hello?”

She sounded a little uneasy. I would to if I were her. It’s not like I call her to chit chat all the time.

Arthur: “Hey, I was just going to call and tell you about Spencer.”
Ashley: “What about her?”
Arthur: “I’m not sure where she is. Her mom took her off somewhere yesterday and for the life of me I can’t get Paula to tell me where she is. I know Paula loves her, but I am still worried sick. I didn’t want you to think Spencer was ignoring you. Where ever she is I’m sure Paula has made sure she can’t contact anyone."

The line was really quiet for a moment and then I heard a familiar voice respond to me. It wasn’t Ashley. It was my little girl. Relief washed over me as Spencer started telling me everything. After the relief set in a new feeling began to wash over me. Anger. I was so angry Paula would do such a thing to Spencer. There is nothing wrong with her. If Paula could do this to our family then I wont feel bad for going through with the plan that just popped in my head.
 

Arthur: “Spencer, can you and Ashley come down to my office. I would like to talk to both of you. I have an Idea I think you both might like.”
