"I don't know where I am," Emily said, her voice shaking. "But they're going to kill me if you don't do what they say.

"Suit yourself," she said. "But don't say I didn't warn you."Ethan watched as the woman brought out a small device and pressed a button. Suddenly, Chloe screamed, and Ethan felt his heart skip a beat."What did you do?" Ethan demanded, his voice shaking."I implanted a microchip in your sister's brain," the woman said with a cold smile. "If you don't confess, I can activate it at any time. And trust me, it won't be pleasant for her."Ethan felt a surge of anger washes over him.

"You left me when I needed you the most. And now, you want to play the concerned ex-husband?"Her ex-husband's face fell, and he took a step back.
