Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Hard and Soft Truths.
"How do you know Sharon?" Holly asks Ford after the elevator doors close.Jean also looks at Ford, curiously. The way they greeted each other was strange and mysterious."I know her in different ways actually. First, Alexa, her daughter is married to my brother...""Ah, Henry? I didn't know that. Where is he now by the way? We didn't hear much about him after the accident." Jean comments."He's here, in this hospital. Top floor.""What happened to him?" Holly asks, unaware of anything since she was in a coma when all of the situations and issues happened so she would have be filled in on many things.Jean looks at him, unsure if she should tell her. "It's fine Jean. She would understand better if she knew."Jean smiles warmly at Ford. "They were both in an accident but by some fate, Ford escaped pretty much okay, while Henry... Well, he became paralyzed from his neck to his toe."Holly looks at Ford. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know.""It's fine.""So you're saying Sharon's daughter, Ale
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. More Than Simple Coincidences.
In the elevator going upstairs, Ford is urged to ask Holly about how her daughter had gone missing and the circumstances around it as a whole.Holly sighed."I'm sorry. You don't have to answer.""No. I want to."Jean comfortingly lays a hand on Holly's as she starts to tell the story."Like I told you, I and my friends lost contact not long after high school so I was really excited to meet them again when I saw a reunion party invite. It was a nice opportunity to meet them all again, not only those two but the entire year so I went, taking Sue along. She was three then.""You took her to a party at three?""Don't blame me. Mum wasn't around, I have forgotten where she had gone off to and the nanny wasn't available either and you know it'll be weirder if I left her alone at home at three..."Ford nods, agreeing."...well, I took her with me, and it'll be a nice opportunity to introduce my pretty daughter to them all. Anyway, I got to the party to meet or not to meet? All in all, the s

"Did you do it? Did she die? God I hate that woman..." Gail shouts into the phone, pacing around restlessly."I hit her and it was very bad. There's a slim chance of survival.""That's good then. You'll get the rest of your payment before the end of the day.""My balance has increased. It's now twenty thousand dollars." The hired assassin speaks passively from where he parked the car, hiding until all the ruckus dies down."I already paid you fifteen thousand dollars upfront. It was thirty thousand total. Why is the remaining balance now twenty thousand? It remains fifteen thousand.""It used to be a total of thirty thousand when I didn't know who I was dealing with. Do you know how much hacking I've had to do in the last four hours? If I were an amateur, I'd have been caught by now but I'm still evading them.""You knew already and that was the total balance before. I'm not paying extra for anything." Gail states adamantly but still restless."If you don't pay me my money, I'll revea
Mommy! Daddy is Missing. Stupid and Senseless
Ford drops the phone and drives away from the hospital. It's already nighttime and he just dropped the call from Marshall, telling him where they had the perpetrators of Sue's supposed accident.He drives for a little bit and then stops in front of a large abandoned warehouse that used to belong to the Mason's till its use was discontinued. He opens the door and enters, his anger rising with each step he takes.When he steps into the light, he sees Marshall standing stiffly on one side and two people tied up to wooden chairs. A man and a woman respectively.He first ignores Gail who's whimpering and asking for help and approaches the man. He tilts his head up and looks into bruised face.Obviously, Marshall had had to beat him up to get him tied up and he wasn't looking very remorseful."So you're the supposed professional who was sent to kill her right?""Fuck you. Did she die? I mean, I hit her pretty hard and she flew..." He starts with a sneering smile.Ford straightens and with a

The gates are opened and Ford, still in the act of being a perfect gentleman, helps Alexa to exit the car without hitting her head on the door frame even though she wouldn't have without his help.Playing coy, he walks back to the driver's side and intends to leave but Alexa stops him."Thank you for dropping me off, I really appreciate it."Ford fakely. "Sure, anything for you my in law." He jokes."Uhm, I hope you don't mind but you could you come inside for a glass of water or even a cup of coffee?"Ford shook his head in the negative. He knew very clearly that that offer was what he actually needed and what made him drive Alexa all the way from the hospital to her home was to actually find out the information he needed.But he needed to play coy to not seem desperate or suspicious."No thank you. I have business in the hospital. I just felt it was nice to come drop you." He offered and then made to start the car again."Oh come on. Even after I rejected your offer of dropping me a
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. At the End...
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.
