*** At Kelly Medicals*** " What is it?", I asked my secretary as she stood in front of me with an envelope in her hands. Then she slid the envelope on my desk. I picked it up and looked at it." Later of resignation?", I asked as I stared at her. " Yes sir. I'm sorry I didn't give you any prior notice. Something urgent came up and I need to travel to visit my parents at the countryside ", she said. I looked at her and sighed. " Fine, you may leave", I said as I continued my paperwork. " Thanks a lot for everything", she said with a slight bow before walking out of my office." The nerve of some people", I muttered to myself as I continued sorting out some files. Then I picked up my phone and dialed the CHRO." Good morning sir", he said as he picked the call, " how may I be of help?", he asked." I need a new secretary ASAP", I said, " the current one just tendered her resignation letter this morning", I explained." I'll get on it right away sir", he said before I hung up. " Un
** At the Maldives*** After spending hours at the restaurant and supermarket, we finally returned home at night. As Pedro parked the car, he peered a little with squinted eyes at the house. " Seems like we forgot to turn the lights off", he said. " Nah, we didn't forget. It's probably just Uncle Luke", Coco said." Uncle Luke? who the hell is that?", he asked me, " don't tell me you're having an affair.....", he was saying when I interrupted him with a loud voice. " Hey Coco, let's go check out your new toys", I interjected. " Yay!", Coco rejoiced as she opened the car door and dashed into house. I and Pedro just sat in the car, with Pedro angrily staring at the shadows of Luke and Coco having fun inside." Why did you do it?", he asked me. " You have no right to ask me that when you abandoned your family for a stupid gang. And besides I'm an adult, so I don't have to answer to you", I said sternly with my hands folded across my chest." Fine. At least let me see the kind of p
*** Right outside the Airport*** " I guess I should welcome you back to American soil ", I said to Luke as I tugged him along, with his hands cuffed to mine. Then I took my phone out of my pocket and dialled Justin's number. " Hello sir, I'm back in the States", I said. " Oh that's nice, I'll send someone to come pick you up right away", he said. " Alright, I'll be waiting", I said as I hung up. " So where do you plan on taking me? the police?", Luke asked. " Don't be ridiculous. Like I would ever let you go that easily. I've got plans for you", I said with a sinister smirk on my face.______________________________________________*** Kelly Medicals*** " What!", I exclaimed. " I'm sorry sir. One of my men saw him with Pedro. What should we do sir?", my Personal Assistant said. I kept quiet and thought for a moment. " We've got no other choice but to delete him or else that buffoon will end up taking him to Justin", I said. " Understood sir. I'll relay your orders right awa
" Are you sure about this?", Pedro asked Luke, who by the way was now tied to a chair and was soaking wet. " Absolutely! I was only acting on Tristan's orders", he said. " So you're telling me that not only did you kidnap my wife, she never even had an actual brain tumor?", I asked." Yes. She never had any brain tumor. Her amnesia was artificially induced using potent drugs", Luke said, " and I only did it because Tristan promised me a promotion if I did, only to abandon me to rot in the Maldives", he said." For a promotion you say?", I asked to which he nodded vehemently. " Pedro, you and your boys beat the crap out of him for an hour. Let me get back to the office for a while", I said to Pedro as I took my blazer and walked out." Please! no! I'll tell you everything!", Luke pleaded as Pedro's gang pounced on him. I had no remorse or pity for the likes of him.______________________________________________*** Purple Mafia Den*** " What the fuck is this?", I asked as I threw th
" I'll stop here", I said to the cab driver, who pulled over immediately. I got down and gave him some cash. " You can keep the change", I said to him. " Royal Resorts", I said under my breath as I stared at the building. Then I walked into the hotel and went to the bar to sit. " Can I get you anything?", the bartender asked. He was quite tall. " Uhm maybe some vodka", I said. " Right away ma'am", he responded as he went in to get my order. A few minutes later, the bartender appeared with my order. " Here you go ma'am", he said as he served it. " Thanks", I said as I took the glass and then took a sip from it, " Mmm, it tastes really good! You deserve a lot more than the price written here", I said as I pointed at the menu on the table." Thank you. Besides, it's already been paid for", he said to me. " Oh really? By who?", I asked." The young gentleman over there", he said pointing at a guy on grey suit with blonde hair, who raised his glass slightly at me with a smirk on his fa
*** At night, Royal Resorts*** " What's your problem?", my sister asked with a look of both concern and disdain, " You've been acting really weird for the past one week", she said." You wouldn't understand", I said to her, " but I think I'm in love", I revealed. " What?!", she yelled, " As if! All you can ever fall in love with is a bottle or a gun and besides, I don't know who she is, but I feel sorry for her it she has to date you", she said." Wait! You really think she'd date me?", I asked her excitedly. " I don't know. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't if I were in her sorry shoes", she said. " Geez thanks for all your help", I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyeballs. " You're welcome bonehead", she said as she put on her lipstick. " Where the hell do you think you're going anyway?", I asked." Pfft", she mocked, " what are you? my dad?", she scoffed as looked at the mirror." You know what? Fuck this! I don't got time for your shenanigans today", I said, " I've got a date
*** At Royal Resorts*** I shut the door behind me. I was soaking wet. " Geez", I muttered as I shivered, " better take these off and take a warm bath", I said as I walked towards the bathroom." Uhh- Urhhm", my brother cleared his throat as he sat on the couch, " and where have you been, young lady?", he asked." Save it Jared, I'm not in the mood for it", I said as I walked into the bathroom. " You're still gonna have some explaining to do when you get out!", he yelled from the couch." Mind your own business, dork!", I retorted as I took off my wet clothes. I filled the tub with warm water and got it. " Yeah, that's it. Just what I needed", I said in a breathy voice as I sighed and closed my eyes. I stayed in the tub for a couple of minutes before coming out in my bathrobe." Good thing you're finally out", Jared said as I emerged from the bathroom. I rolled my eyes and continued drying my hair with a towel. " So who is he?", he asked." Who's who?", I asked." Come on, you kno
*** Tristan's Villa *** " Damn! what a migraine", I muttered as I sat up on the bed. I had a really long dream about the same strange guy that flashed through my mind before I slept. " Who the hell was that?", I pondered. " I guess he really didn't come back home last night", I said to myself as I looked at Tristan's side of the bed. I got off the bed and went to the bathroom to get some aspirin. I opened the drug cabinet and got the aspirin bottle out. I took two pills and got ready to take a shower. The walls and the floor started to swirl round and round. I touched my head with my palm as the migraine increased." I better get back to sleep. I don't feel so good", I uttered with mind's voice. Then I began to walk out of the bathroom gradually, while leaning against the wall occasionally, when I felt too dizzy. I looked around and the swirling worsened, with everything seeming to have an eeriness to it." What's happening to me?", I pondered. I was about to take yet another sha
*** At Kelly Medicals***" So he really didn't leave any clue?", I wondered as I continued searching through some of Dad's files. " There's gotta be something, some document or record somewhere", I muttered while I kept on searching. " Dring! dring!", my phone rang as I was sorting out some files. " Urrghh! Who is it now?", I murmured as I picked up the phone from the desk. It was Jared. " I wonder what it is this time", I thought and then picked up." You imbecile! You took her, didn't you?", his voice blared out from the phone, making me pull it away from my ear." What are you talking about?", I asked." Don't play dumb with me asshole! 'cause I ain't buying it", he said." Look Jared, I don't have time for this okay? Unlike you, I've got work to do", I said." Oh that's rich! Really rich! coming from a crook like you", he yelled." Like I said, I'm busy", I responded and was about to hang up on him." Why can't you leave Janet out of this?", he asked, " you're taking this too far
*** Abandoned Skatepark with lots of Graffiti***" Dude, I don't think this is a good idea", Dave said." Man fuck that! Ain't no way I'm gonna let him go just like that", I said." Alright man, I ain't gonna argue no more. Let's just do this quickly before we get into any more trouble", he said as he picked up his baseball bat." That's the spirit!", I said and gave him a smack on the shoulder." So what's the plan anyway?", Dave asked." Well, I got some intel that he usually comes here in the mornings to do some "private business" ", I emphasized with my fingers." Private business?", Dave asked." Yeah, I think it's got something to do with crack or so", I said." Oh that's nasty! So he's a geeker?", he asked." Yeah prolly", I replied. Just then he walked into the park, strolling over to a bench nearby. " That's him right?", Dave asked." Yup, that's him alright", I replied, " now let's go teach his ass a lesson", I said as I picked up my metal rod. Then I and Dave walked over t
*** At the abandoned Amusement park***" No please! Don't kill me!"" Shut up!", I interjected as I knotted my belt around his neck quickly strangling him to death. " Hwweewww", I exhaled out of my mouth as I wiped off the sweat on my forehead with my forearm. " That's all of them", I said as I looked around at the bodies on the ground. I turned around and looked at my car, dented with marks of ricocheted bullets all around. " Geez, that'll need quite a lotta work", I said as I walked towards the door. " Krrrkuh", I heard a gun crackle behind me. " Put your hands where I can see 'em now!", a voice ordered from behind me. " Who are you guys anyway?", I asked the person behind me." That's none of your business. Now put your damn hands up where I can see 'em", he ordered. " Fine", I replied as I raised my hands up." Good, now turn around and get on your knees", he ordered. I turned around and looked him in the eye with a smirk on my face." Get on your knees now!", he ordered. As I
*** On the road at night ***" Wait, you're not at home?", I asked Madison on the phone as I drove." No, I'm staying with my brother in-law and my sister", she said." But I'm on my way to your....You know what? Nevermind. Can you text me the address of your brother in-law's house?", I asked." Alright, I'm sending you the address right now", she said." Okay, I'm on my way", I said as I tapped on my earbud to hang up. Then I turned the car around and began to head in the direction of the location, which popped up on my GPS monitor.______________________________________________*** At the Royal Resorts***" Okay, I've gotta admit, that last part was quite funny", I said with a chuckle." See?,I told you it was a great show ", Jeremy said with a satisfied look on his face." Well I wouldn't particular call it great, but I guess it's okay", I said with shrug." Oh yeah? I'd like to see your idea of quality television", he said as he passed me the remote." Oh I'll show you", I said
*** At Justin's House***" She's gonna be alright", the doctor said as he finished injecting her, " Though she'll probably be asleep for about an hour or two", he added." Thanks a lot doctor", Justin said, " but what about her memory? Is there anything we can do about it?", he asked." Apparently, it'll be best if we let the memories return on their own, unless we would be willing to risk shocking her into a stroke or a coma", said the doctor." Exactly when should we expect her memories to return?", Justin asked." Well, it depends on the circumstances around her. Just try to let her be around things and people that she knows really well. It'll help jog her memories", he said, " for now, let's just let her have some sleep", he added." Will do doctor. Thank you for coming", Justin said as he led the doctor out. Meanwhile, I rolled my wheelchair to her bedside." Izzy baby", I said as I rubbed my palm on her cheek, " you're so pretty even when you sleep", I said with a smile. " Aunt
" Let me out dammit!", I yelled as I banged the door, " I gotta go save Janet", I said now leaning my back against the door as I slowly slid down into a crouched sitting position. " Knock! knock!", someone knocked on the door. " Who is it?", I asked as I hurriedly got up on my feet, " please let me out of here", I pleaded." It's me Justin. I'm coming in", he said as I heard the door unlock. As soon as he opened the door, I tried to make a run for it. Expectedly, I got caught easily." Calm down Izzy, you don't know what you're doing", he said with his hands around my waist. " Unhand me, you perv!", I yelled as I tried to break free from his grip. He let go off me and I took a few steps backward. " Don't you dare lay a finger on me or I'm telling my husband", I said with my index finger pointed at him." Humph!", he sighed, " well I can't really blame you, can I?", he said with a smile as he stared into the distance. I could see the emotions in his eyes. " Anyway", he said as he snap
" You say she went out when?", the cop asked." I don't really know when, but it was in the morning", I said." What's her name?", he asked." Janet.... Janet Kelly", I answered." And you say she went out with a guy?", he asked." Yeah, her friend, though I think they're secretly dating", I said. He scribbled something down in a book." Any chance you know the name of the young man?", he asked." I can't really remember", I said." Humph", the cop sighed, " Are you sure you even know anything about her other than her name and the fact that she's your sister?", he asked." Frankly speaking, no. She's way too secretive about what goes on with her" , I replied." Alright, I'll draft a report and we'll begin our search in the morning okay?", he said as he arranged the paperwork on his desk." Tomorrow? what if she gets hurt tonight?", I asked." I'm sorry sir, but with the sparse info you've given me, there's nothing we can do till tomorrow morning", he said." Dammit!", I cussed as I ra
“ Urrghh", I groaned as my eyes opened slightly and I tried to sit up." She's awake sir! she's awake!", I heard some ladies shout, their voices diminishing as they ran out. " What's all the ruckus about?", I thought as I opened my eyes, blinking quite a couple of times to clear up my vision. " Where am I?", I muttered as I looked around, surprised at how beautiful yet familiar the place looked. Then suddenly I remembered what happened on the way to the grocery store. " Oh my god, Janet!", I exclaimed as I hurriedly got off the bed. " Those men must have taken her", I muttered as I walked towards the door. Just as I was about to reach out for the doorknob, the door suddenly swung open. " Oh my god, Isabelle!", he said as he pulled in into his arms. I was about to struggle but his hug felt so warm. " I missed you baby, so so much", he said in a jerky voice as though he was holding himself back from crying. He looked just like the man from my dreams. " I'm sorry, but who are you?",
** On the road***" Vrrooom!", my engine roared as I sped along the highway. " Dring! dring!!", my phone rattled the air with it's ringing. " Stop calling dammit!", I yelled in frustration as I drove as fast as I could. I tapped on my wireless earbud and picked the call." Calm down Maddie, you can't go alone", Justin said on the phone." Well we don't have time to wait for the cops. She won't be there by the time they get here", I said to him, " and I simply can't take that chance", I added." But it'll be better if..... beep!... beep!... beep!", he was saying before the call got cut off. " As if I'm gonna let this chance slip by", I muttered as I stepped on the gas. ______________________________________________*** At the Police Station***" Dammit! The signal's jammed", I said. " We ready sir", the Chief of Police said." Alright let's move out now, we've gotta catch up", I said. " Alright men, let's move out", the Chief ordered. I got into my car and drove out while the rest
