Beth
I have never been more shocked in my entire life. The chills that went down my body as the unknown person spoke through the phone weren't like anything I had felt before. 
Ted is standing by my side, with a worried look on my face as he stares at me. My body sags as I physically become weak andy legs almost give out under me. I catch myself with the car door and Ted wraps his hand around my waist.
"I really don't know what to do." I say to Ted, my voice coming out shaky.
"Why is all of this happening? What exactly have we done wrong?" I say, a lone tear dropping down my face from my right eye.
"Let's go to the police, Beth. They'll know what to do." Ted says and I turn to him, a confused look on my face.
"What do you mean by that? Didn't you hear what I just told you? He said that if we go to the police, that there would be consequences!" I shout.
"But we can't just sit around doing nothing, Beth. What if something happened to Elle while we're just waiting around?" 
"Nothing is going to happen to Beth, Ted." I seeth. "For this person to say that we shouldn't go to the police, right at the moment when we were about to get into the car, that means he is watching us, and he could do something to Elle if we disobeyed." I say angrily.
"Come on, Beth. You can't really believe that." He scoffs. His comments were just making me angrier by the second.
"Are you acting this way because she isn't your sister?!" I shout at him. "How can you say that to my face? We're not even sure if it was Mark that took her anymore and you just want to go to the police? What if we chase the lead pointing to Mark and it ends up not being him?" I stare at Ted, waiting for his reply.
"Beth, don't say that to me. Elle is as much of a little sister to me as she is to you. I care for her and would never want anything bad to happen to her, but I still insist that we go to the police. Even if it's not Mark, they'll be able to figure out who it is and the best way to go about it."
I scoff as I shake my head, disbelief creeping into my expression. "Do you really mean what you just said? Are you kidding me right now?!" I shout. "I don't even know what to say to you right now." I scowl at him.
I slam the car door shut as I walk past him back into the house. I open the door and throw my keys on the kitchen counter. I sit on the couch, tears rolling down my eyes.
I wasn't feeling good at the moment, and Ted wasn't even helping matters, instead he was making it worse. I bury my face in my hands, feeling lost and confused.
I can't believe Ted would even suggest going to the police after what I told him. He was being very irrational and saying things that didn't make sense.
The voice that I had heard on the phone didn't sound like Mark's voice, and that bothered me a lot. Because if it was Mark, at least we would have a lead, but if it isn't then we would be left stranded.
What would we do if it isn't Mark that took Elle?
I don't remember anyone that would do that apart from Mark. He seems like the only suspect in the case, but I'm not sure anymore.
I sigh, praying that Elle would be okay wherever she was, because if anything happened to her, I would only have myself to blame for that.
Ted
I sit in my car and let out a deep breath. I really thought that Beth was being irrational because she was worried. She didn't want to see reasons why going to the police was the best option for us, but I didn't blame her as she was under a lot of pressure.
I sigh as I rest my head on my cars steering wheel. This situation was bad, really bad.
What the hell are we going to do?
I didn't want to go into the house with Beth, so that she would have enough time to calm down before I go in to see her. I really don't want to do anything that would hurt her as she is very sensitive at the moment. I know she is crying inside and I really want to be with her, but I think it's for the best if I left her alone.
The way that she spoke about the person that called, it didn't seem like it was Mark that spoke to her. But what if it was Mark, but he's only doing all of this to throw us off or make fools out of us.
I sigh again, not knowing what to think. The situation was really confusing. I think about calling Theo, but it is too late at night and he would be sleeping. I make a mental note to call him first thing in the morning.
Just then, I remember that Beth is left in the house alone. With the way things are I'm really not supposed to leave her on her own, because anything could happen, and I would have myself to blame. 
I throw my car door open and slam it shut. I walk up the stairs to the front door and just as I'm about to take the last step, I hear a scream come from inside the house, and my heart jerks in my chest.
It sounds like Beth and it was definitely a scared scream. I jerk my body forward and rushed towards the house as my heart rate sped up. 
What if something happens to Beth?
I would never forgive myself for that.
