Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Retrograde Amnesia
In the hospital, Sue groans.Holly asleep on the bed, holding Sue's hand jerks awake."Sue?"She presses the button above Sue's bed and the doctor and nurses come inside in less than two minutes.They check Sue's movements, finger and toes, eyes and every other thing. Holly was starting to get impatient and was pacing the room."Ah" She grabs her phone and dials."She's awake.""I'll be right there!" Ford practically yelled into the phone. The screech of tires can be heard in the background of the call as Holly ends it.She dials another number. This time, her mum. "Mum, Sue's awake.""Really? I'll be right over."Holly drops her phone and smiles widely.The doctor is done and says a few things that sound like spells to the nurses who nods."She's conscious. Thank goodness but you lot have to be careful. Don't let her move too much so some of the stiches won't come off.""We promise. She'll be treated like an egg.""I trust you but not that man..." Holly frowns slightly. "What man?"
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Found!
They exchange looks at the question."Well, a lot happened actually. Get back to the bed and we'll talk. You're not to leave your bed yet." Jean pushes her slightly back to her bed and adjusts her pillow as she lays her head down."Okay now I'm ready to hear.""What's the rush? You need a little more rest.""I feel well rested. I mean, I've rested for almost twenty four no?"They exchange another look and smile. "Almost twenty fours?""Don't tease her, come on."Ford walks to her and sits on the edge of the bed with Ashley in his laps. "You've been there for four days.""Ei. Stop pulling a prank on me. Is this your revenge for what I pulled? I already apologized, come on." Sue laughs and then stops. "You're not kidding.""Yes, I'm not so yes, a lot happened while you were in bed.""Now I really want to know. Stop being so secretive and let it out.""Okay. We'll let Holly tell you... Come on Holly.""By the way, congratulations. I noticed you were already walking the other time but I w

"That's Sue. That's exactly what my baby looked like...!" She almost yells, suddenly grabbing on to Ford's shirt arm.Ford kind of suspected it from the beginning but now that it's been confirmed, it's still a lot to take in."...my baby." Holly almost breaks down into tears.The old woman just looks at them, a smile on her face. "I've witnessed children being located over a hundred times in my lifetime but each one always feels so different and so warming."Ford smiled drily at her, wondering how to comfort the woman beside him that it wasn't supposed to be tears but joy...Or should it be tears?He is utterly confused about what to do so he just turns to the other woman for help."Leave her, it's been nineteen years after all." She advises. "Anyway, Sue was adopted not very long after she got here by a family named the...""Greenes.""... Greenes." She looks at Ford. "You already knew that.""Yes. We found Sue already. We just wanted to be extremely sure and cover all basis.""You c

Mommy! Daddy is Missing. An Unspeakable Thought.
They settle around the large table as the large dishes come in and are set on the table.Holly has Sue's hands in hers and Sue doesn't want to let go just yet either. She wants the relish the moment.For as long as she could remember, the image of her mum had somehow being erased from her memories and all that she could remember were some too little things about her that always intruded into her dreams on very rare occasions.But now, she's no more an orphan. She has her family back, even though she still doesn't know who her father is, she's not exactly curious yet as the moment is too precious to be ruined. The sweet smell of the food wafts across all their noses.Jeffrey comes around as the last plate of food is set down on the table. "We the staff of this entire mansion are happy for these three women. Now we have two extra madames in the villa..." For reasons best known to Sue and himself, he can't meet her eyes even when the speech is to welcome them home. It's either from gu
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Two-gether
While everyone is somewhat happy and chatting away, Ford can't get the thought of his mum being behind Sue's kidnap out of his head.The food is packed off the table and everyone files to the living room to just sit and chat, while the food digests. Ford sits with Marshall on the couch, lost in thought."You've been spacing out since we found out that Lene was your mum."Ford snaps out of it. "hm?""That's exactly what I'm referring to." Marshall comments.Ford sighs. "What if...?" He starts and shakes his head as if to rid his head of those damn thoughts but it doesn't work.Marshall hesitates, then places his hand on Ford's shoulder. "You should trust your mum more than that. She's a pretty sweet woman. She won't do that to her own best friend.""I want to think that but I keep having doubts.""Get rid of them. Darlene is nothing like that."Ford smiles at Marshall thankfully. "Who would have known?""That what?""You'll actually be able to comfort someone, knowing the right words t
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Too-gether
Ford's voice filled with barely checked passion and Sue's lips not looking it's original size and colour is more than enough distraction and motivation for them to do their tests hurriedly and excuse the couple.As soon as they leave the room and the last person closes the door behind herself, Ford crosses back to the bed and they go back to their act of passion like they weren't just interrupted.Ford moves Sue slightly and she winces against his mouth. He freezes for a full minute before pulling away. "You're hurt." He berates himself and shifts away.Sue looks hurt. "Don't go.""You're hurt. I should have known better. You drive me so mother fucking crazy!" He rambles while running his hands through his already extremely messy hair. "Give me a minute." He leaves and closes the door behind him.He walks to the toilets at the end of the hallway and enters the men's room. He looks at the mirror and his tousled hair. He opens the tap and splashes the cold water on his face. With his we

The few days after are quite uneventful apart from the notes James manages to send everyday to Sue's room using the nurses as some sort of courier service, Ford flitting in and out, visibly impatient, waiting for Sue to be set freein Ford's words, or in more appropriate terms, discharged from the hospital.Ashley has taken a temporary base with Darlene and Tanya including going to school and going back home. Once in a while, Ford will bring her to visit her mum in the hospital. She'll play for a bit and then go back to Darlene's or even Holly's.Bored out of her head and restored back to health, at least most of it, she plays scrabble with Jean whenever she's around and they chat for sometime before it's past visiting hours and stuffs.Finally, Ford signs the form for her discharge and Sue is allowed to leave for home.For days on end, Ford had been somewhat busy, all around the place, always talking to someone on his phone and most times, Marshall and then sometimes other people that

At the party after the wedding ceremony, everyone puts on their dresses according to the theme as decided by Holly and Darlene.And Egyptian times were known mostly for the gold in their clothes and fine linens so there was a flash of gold coming from everywhere.But when Sue came in, there was no gold that matched hers, none was as luxurious and elegant as her own, along with the modest yet exquisite accessories laid in her hair.And none shone the brightest.It was really giving the Cleopatran vibe as everyone expected.As they will say, Sue ate and left no crumbs.When it comes to the time to throw flowers, every single person was arranged behind Sue, all, or most, eager to catch the flower and decide their future for themselves in marriage.At the back, it included Tara, Raya, Marshall was forced there by Ford against all his own wishes, Tanya and Harry, forced in there by their mum, Darlene and Holly too, giggling like children how they would not mind a man at their age, Ella, Ear

Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Facepalms and Laughter.
It's Ford's turn to facepalm, although there's a hint of hidden laughter on his face. "We'll deal with you two later. Let's attend to the reporters so we can get some rest, what do you think?"Sue nods, agreeing. "Please.""Attention please. Come this way if you have questions. We'll answer them to the best of our abilities."This grabbed all attention towards the couple who stand side by side, Ford's large hands enclosing Sue's in his. "So we heard you have questions for us?""Is a wedding really happening? I mean you're two influential families. Don't you want to give a chance to others?"They all laugh."Well, what can we say when fate drew us to one another? I can't swap her for the world and I'm sure it's a mutual feeling." Ford responds, gently squeezing Sue's hand.Sue nods slowly by his side, her smile infectious."Another question. What will happen to your businesses when you marry? Ms Sue has her own company and you do yours and Ms Sue's family has hers too. It's a lot. Woul
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Mis-sayings.
For the next few weeks, all Holly and Darlene saw of their children and grandchild was video calls and posts on their social media accounts.They had tons of fun, not wanting it to end.They visited many states, including Dallas where everyone got to go to a Cowboy festival where they had rodeo drives and roasted pigs and kicked up as many dusts they could on themselves and others while riding horses and when simply running around, having fun.For the first few days after the incident that shook the whole family so much, Ashley was a little sad and scared. Every minute, she would shake without reason, like a sudden gust of wind was blown on her and it worried everyone so much until they went on their vacation where Ashley was always within eyeshot. Everyone had eyes on her and others, ready to make another lesson of anybody who tries to try shit with them as an individual and as a family as a whole.For a whole month, they visited every amusement park, every theme park, every Five Mi

Ford stands with the Chief of the Police Force as they both watch the body get covered and the ambulance leaves with the other.The chief barks out orders to his men and they respond with gusto and then he faces Ford and smiles warily. "What really happened here?""They both had kidnapped my daughter and sister. I wanted to teach them a lesson but I didn't even get to. Brian got his hand shot off by Angela while she fell through that window all on her own. I guess the guilt from shooting her partner was too much but I don't think she'd want to die so the falling must have been an accident." He explains, meeting the Chief's eyes very bravely and squarely."Hm, I see. So that's what happened. We'll get the body to the morgue while the man will be taken to the hospital. I never thought I'd see a severed hand like that, it looked so roughly pulled or torn apart. Do you know about that?"Ford shakes his head. "As soon as Angela fell, I and my assistant both left the room, hoping we could s

"You know it is not your fault right? Those bastards must have known one way or the other that whatever happened was a result of their own choices."Sue tries to smile. "It's not that actually but thanks for being here with me..." Sue glances at Ashley as the girl snuggles closer to her, putting her head on her inner arms. Sue turns to Tanya and smiles appreciatively. "You know, I never had the opportunity to adequately thank you for what you did even after you got beaten while doing it. I really owe you a lot."Tanya smiles widely. "You don't need to thank me. It's what any human would have done,

James picks up Ashley from the ground, trying to calm and stop her from crying and at the same time, noticing the soft bump on the door.The door opens and out comes Marshall, who barks at one of the two men who came up with him. "Call the authorities! Immediately." He goes back in and closes the door behind him again.James tried to peep in through the open crack but he didn't see anything other than Marshall's body blocking the door and the light in the room.Who had been shot?No one knows, all except those inside.*Holly laughs excitedly as she licks off the upper part of the ice cream she's holding, and Darlene cracking jokes jokes beside her."And then I go, oh my goodness, I didn't switch on the electric cooker after putting the water on for over two hours..."Holly only laughs the more.

"Would you like me to handle that?"Sue smiles at him, "Don't worry, I've got this. I'm sure if I don't kill her, I can at least ruin her pretty face."
