*** 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
“Ma'am you're gonna have to pay up", he said, " I've taken you everywhere you asked. It's not my fault you don't know your address. So hurry up ma'am, I don't have all day", he continued. " But I really don't have any money on me. I just thought I'd pay you when I got home. Please let me off the hook this time or you know what? Let me give you my number, so you can contact me later, how's that?", I asked the man. He looked at me with an annoyed look on his face. I gave him that " pretty please" weird smile." You customers can be really annoying sometimes", he said as he speedily drove off. " Damn, I really pissed him off", I said. Then I remembered my plight, which was the fact that I had no idea where the villa was. " Where do I even start looking?", I thought as I looked around me with my hands akimbo on my waist. It was already getting dark and I had moved round the town. My phone wasn't on me so there was no way for me contact anyone. I began to stroll in any direction I felt w
*** At Madison's house*** " Ding dong! ding dong!", the doorbell rang. " Oh that must be him", I muttered as I walked over to the door and opened it. There he was dressed casually in a black suit on a clean white shirt with a pair of brown khaki pants." Good evening Miss Madison. Sorry I came a bit late", he apologized." Oh that's no problem. At least you came, unlike me", I jested making both of us laugh. " Oh where are my manners? Please come in", I said to him, gesturing theatrically with my hand, the direction into the house.He smiled and walked in. He looked around. " Nice place", he commented as he walked in, " and oh, I got you these. They sort of reminded me of you", he said as he handed over a bouquet of roses to me. " Oh really?", I said with a smirk on my face as I took the bouquet from him, " and how exactly do these remind you of me?", I asked as I took a sniff of the flowers, putting them close to my nose." Uhhm", he said nervously with a smile, " Roses are beauti
** Bustling street at night*** " Well, this sure was one hell of a day", Jeremy said with a pleasant sigh of satisfaction as we walked along the sidewalk. " I know right? I had a lot of fun though", I said to him. " I really didn't know that you had this many sides to you", I said. " Then you'll be happy to know that there's a whole lot more where those came from", he said with a chuckle." Can I ask you something?", I requested." Yeah sure, anything", he said." Uhhm, about your family, where are they? and why don't you stay with them?", I asked him. We kept walking and there was an awkward silence between us as he kept looking at the ground, kicking a little pebble as he walked. " Maybe I pried a little too much", I thought." You know what? You don't have to answer that. Maybe I was being to nosy", I said. " Pfft", he mocked, " don't be silly. I'm your boyfriend so there's nothing wrong if you're curious about my family. I'm curious about yours too", he said." Oh, I thought m
*** At Tristan's Office***" I want you guys to search every nook and cranny. Every corner, alley, shop, anywhere. Just find her, dammit!", I said as I cut the call. " Sheesh! These guys can be so annoying", I thought. I was worried sick. " Where could she be?", I thought, " she couldn't possibly have gone too far, not in her condition", I muttered." Dring! dring!!", the landline rang. I picked it up." Yes, who is this?", I answered." It's time for your meeting sir. The members of the board are already seated", my secretary said. " Hrrrgh!", I groaned, " can't we just postpone it?", I asked. I was way too tired for any meetings." If we do sir, that will be the fourth time it's being postponed", she said. " Alright fine. Tell them I'm on my way", I said. " Damn these dumbass meetings", I grumbled as I got off my chair and headed for the door. " I sure hope it's worth it this time", I said as I shut the door behind me.______________________________________________* Madison's POV
" Ding! dong!", I heard as I rang the doorbell. " Hwwww", I exhaled slowly through my mouth. Then Janet held my hand. " Don't be nervous, okay? It's gonna be alright", she said to me with a reassuring flare in her eyes. " You can do this", she encouraged. I nodded and pressed the doorbell again. " Who is it?", a voice asked from inside as I heard footsteps approaching. I could feel my heart racing as the footsteps drew closer and closer. Janet tightened her grip on my hand. Then the door swung open, and there she was, my mother who I hadn't seen or talked to for almost two years. There was a silent shock on her face as she saw me. " Hey Mom. Sorry I showed up like this but if you'd let me, I'd like to......"" Oh my baby", she said as she ran to hug me. " Where have you been baby? I've missed you so much", she said as she put her palms on my cheeks. Tears welled up in my eyes." I'm sorry Mom", I cried, " I never wanted it to be this way. All I ever wanted was to make you and Dad pr
*** Outside the Office***" That sure pissed him off", I muttered with a chuckle as I shut the door and walked out. " You're done already?", Madison asked." Yeah, we just had a little misunderstanding" I said. " Understandable", she said as she nodded her head in a tilted way, " sibling squabbles, right?", she asked." More or less, yeah", I responded, " anyway, let's meet up tonight at your place", I said." And why not your place?", she asked, " I'd like to visit", she added." Well my sister's around and all, so.....", " So what? I'd love to meet your sister. Or are you hiding me from her?", she asked as she looked me in the eye." No it's certainly not that, but, you know? I need some alone time with you", I said which made her laugh." You perv", she said with a chuckle, " what do you need some alone time for? A date should be in a restaurant or maybe even a picnic in the park and here you are craving some "alone" time", she taunted with a smirk." Okay fine, let's do it your
*** 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
