The next day

After having breakfast at the hotel they hurried to the embassy. They were led into a room there were multiple people waiting for them. There was somebody of the embassy and a detective of the Dutch police force. It probably was the detective Antonio had had contact with. Antonio has said the police detective had sounded very cranky on the phone and as this woman had a big frown on her face, talking on the phone with a low and angry voice, there was no doubt this was her.

''Come in, this is detective Witteman of the national police force. She is leading the case on Violet and Jim.'' The employee of the embassy said and the detective shook their hands.

''I am glad you could come here. It is good to have you here.'' The detective said with a thick but understandable accent, ''I am making sure that the Dutch police is working together as good as we can to get Violet as soon as possible.''

''What is the plan?'' Matt asked then and Witteman nodded.

''There is a Dutch TV show that get's broadcasted weekly in which we usually search for criminals through camera images, but this time we will show some pictures of Violet and Jim and hopefully we will get some messages and calls from people who have an idea where she is or who have seen them together.'' The policewoman explained and Christie nodded, hoping this would give them a lead on where Violet and Jim where.

''When is it on?'' Christie asked then and the woman looked a bit worried.

''Tonight already.'' The police detective said then and Christie looked worried.

''When was it filmed?''

''It is being filmed in two hours but since we have enough pictures we will be able to get it in before tonight.'' The policewoman assured her and Christie nodded.

''That will be good, hopefully we get her back soon.''

''I promise I am not going home until we have Violet.'' Witteman said then, grabbing her phone as she got up, ''Excuse me for a second.''

She walked out and the embassy employee smiled.

''I know she sounds like a bit angry and cranky but she is one of the best.''

''I don't doubt that.'' Christie said then. It didn't matter to her as long as she had somebody helping them with finding Violet.

After talking through more information and more details, they left the embassy, having to wait for something else they could do or when the police knew something.

Even though they were trying to get their mind of things by walking around the city for a bit as they also knew that there was not much they could do, but there was nothing that could take their mind of it and nervous they sat down in the hotel room in the evening to watch the TV programme.

They sat on the edge of the hotel room together. Somebody in the hotel had helped them with getting it on the right channel as the TV show with the pictures of Violet would be on in a bit.

As it started, they had no idea what the host was talking about as it was all in Dutch, but they did see a lots of police in the back of the studio, wearing headsets and they hoped that a lot of people would call in with hints on Violet and Jim.

''En dan willen we nu graag uw aandacht voor een speciale oproep...''

They didn't even really mind what was happening anymore as they had no idea what she was talking about but suddenly English subtitles showed up on the bottom of the screen that explained that a young girl from the US was missing and had been taken here by her father and Christie pinched his hand. Some pictures of Violet appearing on the screen and they hoped that they would get a message soon from detective Witteman so that they could see her soon and so that they knew that she was okay. They sat there, nervous and even though the Violet and Jims pictures were gone now and so were the subtitles, they kept looking because they were also too nervous to do something else.

''This is officer Witteman, we got a call from a hotel Clerk in Amsterdam they checked in to the Avenue Hotel. The police force of Amsterdam is going there as soon as possible, but I will be here to pick you up as soon as possible. Just in case something bad has happened to her...I want you to be here too.'' The police officer explained and Matt had to shook his head for a second, it was clear the Dutch weren't very good at sugarcoating.

''We will be downstairs as soon as possible.'' Matt said then.

Christie grabbed her stuff together and they left to downstairs as quick as possible.

''Just a bit and you will see her again.'' Matt promised and Christie nodded nervous.

They got into the police car, both of them in the back and as neither of them was very small, they sat a bit cramped in the small police car but neither of them minded, all they wanted was to be in Amsterdam as soon as possible.

''Police unit Amsterdam has put undercover cars around the hotel to make sure they won't get out.'' Witteman updated them as they rushed over the five lane highway towards Amsterdam. Most other cars moved out of the way as quick as possible and when they came very close to the city and all lanes were full and crowded, she moved onto the shoulder, rushing past all the cars.

''I hope she is okay.'' Christie said then and she pinched her hand again.

''I am sure she is.'' Matt calmed his sister down, hoping he was right as the car made a sharp turn of an exit and they rushed through the suburbs of Amsterdam.

''The avenue hotel is in the middle of the city centre, so it might get a rough ride.'' Witteman warned them and she turned into several streets, off the crowded entrance ways of the city. The streets were narrow and lots of cyclist had to move out of the way fast, Witteman honking and driving almost aggressively. Suddenly the car made another sharp turn and they were on the very narrow side road of canal, tourists jumping out of the way as she made another sharp turn, moving onto a road right in front of one the many city trains and turning into a bigger street, parking right onto the tracks of the city train in front of the hotel. Multiple policemen were standing by the door.

''Alright, wait in the lobby.'' She told Matt and Christie and she and some other policemen started running up the stairs, Matt and Christie waiting nervously and Matt glared angry at the tourists by the door which were filming.

Christie was shaking and she put her arm around her.

It seemed like an eternity before detective Witteman came running down the stairs again, followed by the other police officers.

''They are gone, nothing is left in the room that could belong to them.'' Witteman told them, walking past them to the desk.

''Did they leave and check out?''

''About an hour ago.'' The clerk said then and Witteman grabbed the radio, yelling orders in Dutch and walking away while on her phone now.

''She told the Amsterdam police to update the airport on the situation, making sure they won't get through security and they are running through all check ins now to make sure they are not leaving the country again. She is making the sure the Belgium and German police keep an eye on any arrivals and hotel bookings.'' One of the policeman told them and Matt walked to one of the benches in the lobby with Christie and sat her down.

''We will get her back very soon, I am sure.'' Matt said then and she nodded, tears in her eyes.

''I know...but I just want to hold my little girl again and make sure that she is okay.'' Christie sobbed.

''I know, but she is fine, I am sure...and we will see her soon again.'' Matt tried to calm her down.

''Daddy, I am a bit scared now.'' Violet said as she looked out of the window, looking as the fields were going by as her dad was driving over the highway, very fast.

''Nothing wrong, Violet.'' Jim said then and looked her way, ''we are just going to see another city.''

''I miss mommy, why can't I call her? You said we were going on a holiday.'' Violet said worried, ''Why can't I call her?''

''Because if mommy knows where you are...you will never get to see me again.'' Jim warned her then and Violet looked down.

''Oh.''

''Now you don't want to miss me again right?'' Jim said and Violet was looking down.

''No...I missed you daddy.'' She said with a pout but also didn't feel good about the situation as she missed her mom and this didn't really feel like a holiday.

NOTE: Matt and Christie went to the embassy and met the detective that works on the case and that will help them get Violet back hopefully but when they arrived at the hotel they had checked in, they were already gone. Meanwhile Violet seems to realize something is wrong with this holiday her dad has taken her on.
